Harbor Freight Tools

I stop here when I need rope, tarps, simple tools and other odds and ends.
I got several padded moving blankets and a handcart for about the same price u-​haul wanted just to rent the same items.
I have gotten a few power tools here for one time jobs that worked great for a great price. I’m not sure I would go as far as recommending a harbor freight power tool for constant or heavy duty use but all else should be fine.

This place is fantastic! Harbor Freight has saved me so much money vs buying top name brands that are sometimes 4x the cost! Most of the time if you forget to bring your coupon the cashiers will still give you the discount! I like how if they come out with a bad tool and you return it under warranty, they send the defective tool back to the manufacturers so they can make the necessary engineering improvements for future batches of tools. Remember when their 90 amp mig welder was orange and lasted about a month? Well the returns on those going through the roof resulted in the new black ones which I have had almost 4 years now and gone through dozens of spools of wire! Works like a boss!

I’m very happy we have a Harbor Freight close.
I have had great luck with a lot of there tools.
When I get a bad one and have my receipt there is never a problem getting a refund.
A lot of there stuff is cheap and would never hold up to every Day users.
There is so many times I need a tool just for one project, when that happens this is where I go for the tool.

I will say don’t buy anything air or electric powered here, it wont last and will not do the job its needed to do when it is working correctly. however hand tools, jacks, trailer parts and other odds and ends are of decent quality, hand tools are lifetime warranty so if it breaks go get a new one on harbor freight. I am a technician at a high end car dealership in the valley, I have tools that cost me into the thousands for single specialty tools that I need to do my job, my basic most used stuff throughout my day such as wrenches, impact sockets, pliers, screwdrivers, prybars and hammers are all from harbor freight. I have 90k plus invested in my tools. and the stuff that pays the bills is from harbor freight. other manufactures tools do have advantages over harbor freight tools but its not enough of an advantage to spend usually triple on them. customer service is terrible, never met an employee of this company that I liked while I was shopping in the store, but if you gonna spend 3 bucks on a full wrench set you cant really complain about them to much.

This place really is not that big but they never cease to amaze me. Every time I come here, I find exactly what I need — even odd sized and random parts and pieces always seem to be in stock.
It’s really nice not to have to go to a huge home improvement store to get what I need. I can come to Harbor Freight, run in, run out and get all of my home improvement projects done!
Honey-​do list. DONE! … For now…

You never know when you might need 32 different kinds of bungee cords, or cheap wrenches. It’s not your standard hardware place, but it can be fun to wander around in. At holiday and Fathers day times, it’s a good place to find an unusual gift. If you don’t need the best quality for a specific thing, they have decent deals.

If you are looking for cheap tools, this is THE place for it. It is somewhat hidden in a strip mall on the west side of Redwood Road along with other shops. They are nowhere near as big as a hardware chain store, probably about the size of a mid-​size grocery store.
The qualities of tools are not top notch, but they do the job for most small projects around the house. I ended up stocking up a full inventory of hand tools here that would cost me two to three times as much elsewhere. Power tool is a different story though, since they tend to have malfunctioning after a few uses, and I would avoid getting those here.
I believe Harbor Freight Tools has another location near 3400 S State St for the north valley folks. Service is a bit subpar here, so do not expect any.

The cheap prices make up for the surly cashiers.
