Anyone use the Folding Mechanic's Pad? http://www.harborfreight.com/folding...pad-93896.html I need something thicker than a sheet of cardboard on my concrete floor but thinner than a creeper under my no-ground-clearance Austin-Healey.

Anybody have any input on the 4 tier shelf? Will only be holding aerosol spray cans, waxes, and other light weight stuff. It's going in the garage so I'd rather it not collapse and fall/drop everything on the car.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I got 2 of them, they hold up decent for light stuff.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I tried doing a search within this thread to see if anyone has tried the engraver but didn't come up with anything.

Anyone?

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I bought one last year, kinda hardto screw up a piece of foam.

I also use the floor fatigue mats to lay on.

Anybody have the 11 Gallon Portable air tank? http://www.harborfreight.com/11-gall...ank-65595.html debating if this would be useful to be filled and pump tractor tires out on the field when necessary

I've just been using a 1/2 sheet of tyvek insulation for the mech. pad. Cheap, comfy, and easy to wipe clean.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

Are you asking about the ones currently for sale (the electric, or the battery models). I couldn't answer about those.

A long time ago, they sold a pneumatic model that has a cult level following today.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I've had good luck with it. The toolboxes on the bottom shelf are loaded with about 50 lbs of tools each. It feels cheap but seems to hold the weight. I only wish it was deeper.

the black 4-drawer service cart w/ ball bearing drawers - PASS had it for a few months in the shop and it holds up fine. Only thing I wish was better was the drawer linders; they sometimes slide and get scrunched up. but no biggie.

pittsburg sockets - PASS. i've been using my 1/4 in metric and standards for a while now and they are fine. many have seen the working end of my matco 12v 1/4 in impact and hold up great.

pittsburg torx bits - PASS. even had some on an air impact, work fine.

anyone have any opinions on the long pittsburg SAE and metric wrenches? what about the impact 3/8 and 1/2 in swivel sockets? just kinda curious. it looks like they changed the design since last time i looked at them.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I have the Pittsburgh long wrenchs in sae and metricThey have held up great so far.My only complaint is the metric set has no 13 16 18 mm wrenches.As for the impact sockets I dunno I have been thinking about getting those.I am curious to see what everyone else has to say about them.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

Mind blown. I have never thought to stack my jackstands. Brilliant. Thank you!:bowdown:

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I actually just picked up a set of the 1/2 swivel sockets today, i'll be sure to come back here after I use them a few times. I also have long wrenches, i've had them for a few years, they work just fine.

Anyone use the 3/8" Earthquake?

http://www.harborfreight.com/38-prof...nch-68425.html

I've seen reviews about the "old" ones, so i'm assuming this is a new version. The reviews on the HF site seem good, but you can never tell with those.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

cool; i look forward to hearing about them. they make certain jobs so much easier but i don't know if i'd ever use them enough to justify the $400+ the trucks charge for them. and that's for the 3/8 drive!

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I got the idea from how they come packaged from the factory.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

I agree with jayoldschool, great idea for stacking those jack stands. The only concern I'd have is if you lost one of the posts because they weren't together.

The C Clamps = Fail

They don't take any abuse at all. My Epsteins C-clamps take all sorts of abuse but I wanted to test these harbor freight clamps.

6 ton Steel Jackstands = Pass

I've had these stands for almost 7 years now and I've had everything from Honda Civics to Duallys on them.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
 

What exactly were you using them on?

I've used them to straighten out warped 2x8 without issue. How many more did you break or is this a one and done type of thing?
