so today my brother tells me they just put in a harbor freight store a few miles away from my house so me and my dad go to check it out.

lets just say its a damn good thing there isnt one in tallahassee or i would be broke as hell. anything and everything you ever wanted in you garage dirt cheap. i got a pulley puller for my car for 5 bucks, they had a torque wrench set (1/4, 3/8, 1/2) for 25 bucks (told my brother to get it for me for christmas). everything

their catalog has tons of shit in it but its way different when its all right there in front of you

i had to force myself to leave so i didnt all my money on stuff just cause it was a good deal

there's one in mobile that i go to often. just be careful with the stuff you get. a lot of it won't last too long. the power tools anyways. i bought a 4.5" angle grinder from them and used it like 5 times. the bearings are already going out. i bought one of those half inch torque clicker wrenches. first time i used it was to put my oil pan on. had it set at 18 lbs like i'm supposed to. worked fine on all but one bolt, where it didn't click. broke one of the long skinny bolts on the rear of the pan. most of their hand tools are great though. i bought 5 6" clamps the other day for like 10 bucks. they do have some awesome deals. if anybody needs anything let me know over like christmas break. i'm sure i'll make a run over there.

but ive used their torque wrenches many times (cam and heads) and had no problems at all
