Sorry for the video cut at 20:50 - 21:14 had issues with Premiere Pro during export, this was a BIG video file to export in 4k since I shot it on my iphone.
When Craftsman pooped the bed they left a vacuum in the tool market harbor freight is filling. For the diyer trying to get their car back on the road for work Monday morning to go to work HF is a blessing. Not everyone can afford to wait for a shop to get to your car or can’t afford to have it done by a shop.
i got the icon flex head metal handle 3/8 9' cause i didnt wanna pay tool truck prices for a 9' when i usually use the 13' mac anyways. and honestly its pretty good. definitly heavier and a thicker head than a mac but it actually feels pretty good for the price. i think you could buy a set of those ratchets and not really miss a tool truck one 90% of the time. the 10% being when the difference in head size matters. the back drag and gears feel good enough
I love my icon comfort grip ratchets.i got the flex head ones 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 drive. Break rusted on hardware all over my car and no failure on their part.
Hey did you give a way that tool yet you told us about? Are you planing on doing raffle this year for Christmas I think I would be cool to do that every year if you have time?
I have not! Sorry I have been busy and havent got a chance to go through the comments, I will pick one this weekend, and thats a great idea thinking about doing some gift cards this year.
It isn't the back and forth wiggle that makes me leery about a tool box build quality. Every drawer will wiggle like that, because the rollers are moving in and out. What concerns me is how much the drawers will flex or bend when you press up with one corner and down with the other.
@@LetsDriftMedia I seen the double stack but I don't think it's worth the storage space you give up. The opening at the bottom and the top lid will be lost. Ide mount mine side by side.
If anyone needs a heat gun..i have the Hercules one and use it doing commercial refrigeration. 2.5 years now still running strong. Ill leave it running in a case with iced up coils and hotbox it for hours to thaw at a time. I was very pleasantly surprised its lasted this long and still working perfect.
Air tools and plug in electric seem to last forever, and are cheaper to buy. Seems like the battery stuff wears out and costs you in batteries over time. Price to be paid for convenience and speed, so I think pneumatic tools are never truly going to go away.
Yea I know that I was just surprised it slid all the way out I don’t think they are supposed to do that but it is a display model so could have been damaged already
I live in Canada. We don't have any thing that even comes close to harbor freight and I often find myself looking at their website and contemplating driving across the border just to buy tools. The closest we have is princess auto and they're more of a cheap Chinese importer that just happens to sell tools and cheap knick knacks. The tools there are dollar store quality, disposable after one use, absolute crap. If I ever had to buy a new toolbox I would 100% drive to Buffalo just to buy one, even though I'd be paying 50% more once you figure in duties and currency exchange.
I’m curious how the icon extractor set quality is, I’ve used cheaper type extractors and it is not fun when the extractor snaps in the stud you are trying to remove.
the US general boxes are less then ideal for a shop setting. they are very shallow the extra 3 inches of depth makes a huge difference and its pretty disgusting already how shallow they are both. I got the icon 73in for my work and it is a nice toolbox all in all, but i do wish it was deeper.
Depends on where you work. Me personally have always worked mainly out of my service cart which is a harbor freight cart so my fancy snap on box just sits In The corner 90% of the time.
@LetsDriftMedia I am heavy line at a RAM truck center. I work out of a 5 drawer cart mainly. The big box just stores all my extra testing equipment. Sockets I don't normally use on a day to day etc. All I work on is once again RAM trucks. I see the same 3 engines all day long that use the same 5 fasteners etc. If you want to be heavy line you need the extra space. It's gonna store all your diag equipment or SHTF tools.
I think that may depend on the brand you work for then, I did plenty of heavy line working at Toyota as well as BMW and like you kept my daily used tools in the cart and just stored my once in awhile or random time tools in my main box But i would have to disagree still at the point saying you need the extra space to do heavy line, I have a 73"' snap on and have yet to fill it up and was able to do anything and everything when I worked at the dealer. @@JrSpitty
You do understand that Harbor Freight owns almost all the brands they sell, which are contract manufactured to their negotiated specifications? That includes Pittsburg, Bauer, Icon, AMES, etc. Virtually all of their products are made in China - that was the fundamental concept the firm was built on. Not saying that’s bad or good, but caveat emptor - let the buyer beware! I have a lot of their products, and many of them have been pretty good.
Myself as well as any other mechanic I've met is not concerned with where the tool is made, We just want something that works for the job and is not going to cost us an arm and a leg to purchase.
All my boxes do that. My 5k snap on and my $600 harbor freight box. But I mean if it makes you feel better to have snap on it’s your money not mine it ain’t gunna make you a better tech tho 🤷♂️

Video shows u what Harbor freight has sells
Man where is this store? It's like 4-5 times as big as my local HF in Vallejo California.
@@bloop6812 this one is the Victorville store
Wow your HF has way more inventory than my local one has
Yeah the one I was in a few days ago half the shelves were empty lol.

I have the Maddox vacuum brake bleeder and it’s pretty decent.
17:58 “ This one is massive” 🤣 proceeds to stroke the handle c’mon Nick. All jokes brotha! haha
😂😂😂
I work in a heavy equipment shop and one guy has that earthquake impact and that thing kicks ass
Hey did you give a way that tool yet you told us about?

Most of the name brand products that HF has in stores are house brands....
I wish the one in bend oregon was stocked like that what the heck the bend store needs to step it up .
I wish Harbor Freight sold individual sockets and wrenches. I'd buy the Icon brand to replace lost individual tools.
It isn't the back and forth wiggle that makes me leery about a tool box build quality. Every drawer will wiggle like that, because the rollers are moving in and out. What concerns me is how much the drawers will flex or bend when you press up with one corner and down with the other.
I be going to harbor freight to just look at stuff 😂
Hf is really gunning for snapon
I really want a second us general 5 drawer cart. I would love to mount them together and have a 10 drawer with dual lids
Same I wanna do a double stacked I’ve seen some people do that before

Nice, I bought one of the basic harbor freight heat guns like 5 years ago and still works no problem.
Hercules power tool line hold up waaaay better than the bauer tools, even feel better to the hand

That oh oh not good on the cart is a lock. You slide it into cart frame do when you roll your cart around the shop the drawers don't open up😊
Yea I know that I was just surprised it slid all the way out I don’t think they are supposed to do that but it is a display model so could have been damaged already
Hey thanks for the video. You got a great deal on that Icon light for $25. It’s normally $40. Haha knee pads if u wanna get a raise.
It’s on sale for $19.99 on 5/19/24 only!!
I need the Daytona Jack stands to match the Jack in purple with flake. Maddox is their mid range brand but better than Pittsburgh stuff
At the Sema show they had a bunch of new Icon tools there coming out with in April.
It’s Crazy what there putting out good for them!
Nice video 😊
Thanks 😊

You too!
I believe you will really like the ICON trouble light; I liked mine so much I bought a 2nd one!
Thing is super bright so far I like it
I tried the Pittsburgh extractor set and didn’t have very good luck with it. The design slips when you have a stuck bolt.
I’m curious how the icon extractor set quality is, I’ve used cheaper type extractors and it is not fun when the extractor snaps in the stud you are trying to remove.
@@LetsDriftMedia I was referring to the extractor sockets. Sorry for the confusion.

@@LetsDriftMedia I totally get it - I only made the comment because of the way you referenced the “brands”. Happy wrenching!
Victorville????
Yup good eye
Is the Hesperia store any better? Cheaper tax there as well...
@@trdrav4 I have not been to that one yet.
its a series 3
what you doing at 17:59 🧐
Don’t hit your head on the top lid like I did and I’ll only 5.10 lol
One reason I never got a hutch for my box
Yes The Datsun 510 one greatest cars in history
Vid blacked out at 21:00 ish
Yea idk what happened there sorry
Put me on game about the generator ban thank you
Huh?
Just thought it was great you brought up that they might ban generators in California. Awesome tour as well 👍
I would be nice to stop and tell the price on different items just a look around doesn’t cut it
There's hundreds of millions of items
Most of the items I showed in the video have the price tag right there but I appreciate the feedback maybe next time I’ll point out more prices.
Wat happened to yo yo yoooo
Next time!
How bout prices?? Just wondering around filming isn't useful at all.
on-line
It shows what harbor freight sells
@@wileecoyote5749 duh.. if I'm gonna have to look them up, what's the use of watching the walking tour?
@@teresaallen3045 we know what they sell. How much they're selling stuff for, what's the best deals, is what we don't know.
What's the use of watching the video when your lazy azz could drive there or check online.
Us general series 3 not 2
👍
Next time show prices
YES SIR
Bro said the snap on box does the same thing 🤣 what a goofy, maybe after years of abuse that thing doing it straight out the box 🤡
All my boxes do that. My 5k snap on and my $600 harbor freight box. But I mean if it makes you feel better to have snap on it’s your money not mine it ain’t gunna make you a better tech tho 🤷♂️
@@LetsDriftMediaMaybe get a US General box and 3d print some Snap-On logos.
I thought your title says What's NEW at........NOT. Good bye
