The Garage Journal Board - The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

I just have to mention that I had to remove a damper pulley on my Honda, and used my 1" 1200 ft/lb impact reduced to 3/8 snapped the sears 1/2 to 3/8 in an instant and the HF took off the bolt in a instant. so a pass to there ratchet reducer adapters.

I use these every day in an auto repair shop.

Good to know about the dead blow hammer I was a little scared so I got a 3lb rubber mallet.. It's held up to all the pounding I've done with it.. Might pick one up tomorrow.

Fail X2.

I had the bearings on the front casters fall completely out...but i have my cart overloaded...I replaced them with bigger casters and this cart is pretty decent

Got this air hammer yesterday to break up some ceramic tile floors for a bathroom remodel. Performed flawlessly. Havent tested it yet on anything metal like rivets or anything, but it saved my ass yesterday. Cant beat it for 13 bucks.

Dude,

you got to get the quick disconnect HF sells...It replaces that stupid spring which is hard to get the bits off and do a quick change...HF sells the Quick changer for about $5.000 and it works great!!!

PASS!

I love this thing. It's perfect when I don't want to abuse my Craftsman ratchets and don't feel like or can't fit a long breaker bar.

Great price too.

I agree got the same one

9 Piece Wobble Extension Set- Fail. Even though I haven’t broke one yet, the fit and finish is not great and doesn’t feel like the socket fits like even a craftsman does.

Has anyone tried the walk out and walk back in to use another coupon? I have one for the engine crane and generator but I don't want to make two trips back to the store.

But i was in no way gonna spend the money to get him a Snap-On version. The HF version is great and does what its supposed to. All he'll ever need. :)

Reviews:

Impact Screwdriver - PASS/FAIL - Broke all phillips head bits on my Honda rotors, but those suckers were STUCK on. Not the tools fault.

6in C-Clamp with quick-release slider - PASS! Obviously I did a brake job, and this thing worked beautifully pushing the piston back into the caliper. Plus the quick-release was a big bonus.

Anyone ever try the Pneumatic brake bleeder kit? I bought one,but have not had a chance to use it.

what part number do you have for the clamp?

i need to grab the inpact screw driver. those honda screws are the hardest to get out. i had to put my odyssey kunckles in press and press the rotor off. the rotor snapped before the screw broke.
