^ They have food for specific breeds? I didn't know that. Guess that's what you don't know when you have mutts for house-cats from the shelter your whole life. lol

There's a good Youtube vid out there about Harbor Freight stuff where the reviewer basically says, "If failure of a tool or device will injure or kill you, don't buy from HF. Otherwise, it's a good place to find deals." I totally agree. I have some LED shop lights from HF that were dirt cheap and work fine.

I have bought a lot of power tools, hand tools, carts...etc from there and had zero issues other than an oscillating tool that wasn't powerful enough. Upgraded to a bigger battery and put that in and it worked fine.

I don't mind spending extra money on nice power tools but if I am going to use things every now and then, I will go to HF. I have a mixture of Dewalt power tools and the HF brand, Bauer.

Be careful even then-- I had one of HFT's triangle jacks collapse on me while I was changing a tire on my wife's RDX. There are some things that work fine from HFT, but Chinesium triangle jacks aren't one of them.

It looks similar to the Jeremy Renner incident, right?

Thank you for the heads up flybigjet

Do you have a few jack stands you recommend then?


Thank you!

Thank you!
I got these on Amazon. MUCH happier with them. They're very solid in comparison to the previous HFT ones (the remaining three of which went into my trash immediately following the collapse under my wife's RDX.)

Good call! Those look better than the HF ones. I will look into them and prolly order them today and return the HF ones. Thank you for the input.

I agree that HFT is good for "once in a while tools", tarps, and other throwaway items.

BUT, for stuff that can injure/maim/kill me (yes, HFT triangle jacks, I'm looking at you!)-- I'll get something better.

(I'm pretty sure I had the jack stands on the right)

This is a kitchen knife, not designed as a weapon.
Not intended to be anything controversial.

But it appears to be a pretty nice knife that is currently on sale.
I believe it's mfg in the USA by Skallywag Tactical.

Thumbs up

After thorough research, I decided on PUFFY Adjustable Twin XL bedframes for our new mattresses.
these things are supremely well built and heavy AF!
In addition to the adjustments they also include separate backlit remote controls, massage, led foot lights and usb charging connections.
Highly recommend!
