Hey, thanks for taking the time to review this tool for us! I need one of these for one specific job and rare occasional use. I'm always wary of Harbor Freight, Chicago Electric, etc. but can't justify spending $300 or more for a bandfile that will be used so rarely. After seeing your review, I feel confident the tool will work quite well for the 10-minute job I have for it.
Good review thanks. I go to Harbor Freight a lot and I need a sander for a small job. This sander may suit my needs. This sander is small and it cheap which puts it at the top of my list of sanders I am considering. I agree with ScubaSmith I don't want to pay a lot for a tool I may use infrequently. Harbor Freight is a great tool store full of super cheap Chinese tools. Of course, my first choice is not cheap Chinese tools, but Snap-on and other higher end tools cost a lot. If you don't know Harbor Freight and you like tools do yourself a favor and go there. Many shops buy tools for their shops there as they are so cheap who cares if they don't last as long if they only cost a quarter of what higher end tools cost.
Hmm. Rather than digging out a spot weld that any grinding or flap wheel could have, I bet the horde would have liked to see you do a job you find can't easily be done otherwise. I'm thinking tight, no clearance angles or something... I need to be convinced I need this thing!
Thank you for your comment. I will keep it in mind on a next video. The tool used in this video has done a lot of work up to this comment. I do recommend owning the filing sander style tool. Even if it's from Harbor Freight Eastwood Company or others. The nice thing about the Harbor Freight file sander is the price and it's held up quite well under rigorous use. The main convenience of the sander is it's pinpoint access two an item whereas a flat sander typically takes away too much area. This makes the tool convenience helpful during a restore of a vehicle.
@@cswinch1 alright you convinced me... by the way those belts are aluminum oxide and they aren't really capable to keep up on metal, you'll get more use out of zirc or even ceramic if your willing to pay for it.
