Mini-haul

LOML were heading out the driveway for some shopping in Tallahassee on Saturday and stopped at the mailbox. There was one piece of junk mail but there was also a Harbor Freight store circular. There's an HF in the same area we were planning to do our shopping, so she started looking at the coupons and specials. Well, I don't need too much encouragement to do a little tool shopping. I didn't have an angle grinder; the one in the photo was $15. Also got a 10-pack of metal and masonry cutters using the 20% off coupon in the ad. I have three HVLP sprayers, but for $10 each, I now have two more! The highlight was, of course, the free flashlight!

Almost forgot. Also got a 100-pack of paint strainers for $4.

I've picked up the exact same items in the past few weeks

Haven't tried them yet though. But for $15 I've always wanted an angle grinder.

Bill those little grinders really come in handy for all sorts.

I am not too sure how many people think of this one but way back when i was putting the conduit from outside for my shop through the wall of the house which is brick, i purchased a small diamond blade for my little boy. It did a real neat job of the brick cut. Keep it in mind cause it can be used for a tile cut or two as well. The fibre discs can also be had in stone version but i dont think they would do as well on a tile.

As to those spray guns i dont see how one can go wrong at that price. Those are the kind that got me going for spraying.


Great haul. There certainly is a place for certain of the harbor freight tools.

Those grinders work well just wear a face shield I had one of the brand new harbor freight disks blow up in my face right after I put it on so it had not been damaged at all. Now I don't use their abrasive wheels too costly.

Yep, face shield was in place when I used it to cut a stepping stone.

Most of those angle grinders use nylon gears, so try not to put them under a lot of load, let the wheel do the work. Have a 4 1/2" with the diamond blades I used for the stone walls at the last house that has lasted a long time now. The first one I pushed the blade a little hard and stripped those gears pretty quickly.
