Are you looking for a tool to use on your next DIY project? Imagine a vast ocean of tools. Now, imagine that you must find a needle in this haystack. If that doesn’t sound exciting, look no further than Harbor Freight: a place where you can find a reliable and affordable tool for your next home improvement project. A company with an inventory far-reaching in its affordability and effectiveness, Harbor Freight can serve the craftsman and the occasional DIYer alike. I will be traveling through the corridors of Harbor Freight to find 12 tools that will not only improve your next DIY project but also leave your wallet untouched.
Every toolbox needs a versatile sander, and the handsome Warrior 1.1 Amp Corner/Detail Sander by Harbor Freight is up to the task of detail work with ergonomic shape and large debris-collecting bottom for DIY detail work for $19.99. At that price, it is difficult not to give it a try, and it has proven effective for over 1,700 user reviews so far.
Cutting tile or stone doesn’t have to break the bank, either; witness the Chicago Electric 7 Amp 4-inch Handheld Dry-Cut Tile Saw, available for $39.99 at Harbor Freight. Portable power? Now there’s a duet that any DIY homeowner enthusiast will appreciate.
For an affordable, durable circular saw, you cannot do better than the Bauer 14 Amp smpl from Harbor Freight Priced at $49.99, here Harbor Freight is not only touting the ‘quick, clean cut’ of the tool, but also their commitment to bringing cost-effective, high-quality tools to the marketplace.
Harbor Freight’s Warrior heat gun is a prime example of how the right tempered gear can get you on track: $19.99 gets you a tool that can be used for a hundred different tasks, and has a high and low temperature setting that makes it suitable for everything from gluing flooring to gently softening trim for painting. Its high percentage of five-star reviews on the Harbor Freight website is unmatched even among other tools with hundreds of reviews.
And nestled deep in the vast harbour-freight catalogue, we find the most highly recommended product of all: the Bauer 7 Amp Angle Grinder, retailing at $29.99. You can grind with it, cut with it — a weapon of efficiency and of sustainability — with a 99 per cent reviewer recommendation rate.
‘Messy projects require cleanup,’ says the text copy. ‘The solution is Bauer’s 3 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum. This powerful and portable unit is priced at $39.99. Once again Harbor Freight Tools got it right by finding the right balance between price and performance.’
When it comes to stapling things precisely, you’d have to search deep into the offerings of Craftsman, Milwaukee, or anyone else to find a cordless stapler with the power and pocket-friendly price of the Bauer 4V Cordless Stapler ($39.99). At that price, it’s the kind of tool that Harbor Freight customers expect.
As I contemplate products such as the Warrior 6 Amp Reciprocating Saw and the Pittsburgh Electrician’s Screwdriver Set, each acquisition is part of a larger manifesto of affordability without sacrifice, each tool a pledge to make and do more for less, each expenditure an investment in yourself, the user – in your very creativity and capacity.
Amperage (AMP) is a crucial skill to know, especially when it comes to many of Harbor Freight’s items. AMP stands for amperage and is basically the difference between a private-school slackie and a linebacking-football-player slackie since, the higher the AMP, the more powerful the device and the more intense a job it can handle. If you’re looking for a heavy-duty power tool such as a sander, saw, heat gun or something similar, just looking at the AMP can lead you to the most cost-effective and the most appropriate tool for the project at hand.
