Leaked & New Tools from Harbor Freight! (Quinn, Bauer, Hercules, Icon and Doyle) 

Why the hate for 12 point.

@@MrZacharyMc not haten just think that 12 point should be in specialty runs for engine building not in every set. I say this because if you knew how many stripped fasteners I have encountered under the hood of a car .

@@kcfyrproof4919 stick to the 66 piece set

If they where really smart, they'd give doubles of all the 10mm and keep the Allen keys.

I completely agree, I have been hoping for single sockets for a long time. Especially to fill in the gaps in some of their other kits and sets.

They do sell single sockets at our HF , I'm pretty sure they are Pittsburgh to .

@@maximt61 the ratchets seem to be Pittsburg with different colors on the handles, the socket resemble Pittsburg sockets also, but somehow look higher quality?

It makes no sense because if you break one, they'll open a whole new set to get you a replacement, but they won't stock singles. I'm sure they've done the math and are probably making enough overhead that taking a few bucks off and putting the incomplete set on Open Box is more than worth it to keep a customer.

What's the item number

you think that cost them 10 bucks... lol

I have quite a few from assembling s*** furniture. Lol Shameful thing is, most of them are the same size. Lol

More like knock of 10 cents lol

@@quonsetthehutt3105 +5 cents for the plastic allen key holders

I like getting them so if you have to you can mutilate them and not feel bad. Shave em thinner on the grinder, heat them and bend them into the shape you need

Why do they skip sizes? I've been given a few answers although I don't agree with any of them, for me if it skips any size whatsoever it's an assortment, not a set.

Are the sockets 6 point or 12 point

And come with a lifetime warranty.

coupons dont exist anymore

I’d guess that if the 400+ piece set was $1.25 people would ask about coupons, HF has created an environment for it, lol.

@@DieselRamcharger you got one for 4th of July.

@@everythingfan9726 ....and everything in the store STILL costs 25% more than it did.

@@JimmyMakingitwork lol. yes they did.

Looks like loose tools you'd provide your own storage

It does look interesting. I always avoided the old one because people said it was underpowered. The new Bauer is 4.3 amps and 35 pounds vs 3.5 and 27.

It's the same stuff as the pittpurgh pro with a lil color coding

They officially went out on shelves this week. $349.99 is the price

I've seen comments where if you take a socket from a set in for warranty, an employee will take it out of another set. That set which was pilfered then ends up in the sale/clearance section.

It looks like the 3 drawer kind like husky, kobalt and all the others use.

Poor Clarence. I hope it doesn't crush him.

Especially at coupon price.

Have had a 1/4" tourqe wrench click style in my box for years and recently needed it only to find it clicks in one direction only, very disappointing. Ended up with a beam type to set up bearing preload using inch pounds. Obviously a click type wouldn't work for this but one direction only? Wtf?

me too. I'm a wood shop guy and just got a new shop with a lift. Im get into the mechanics of my truck and this seems like a good option.

No stairway to heaven

Tekton is awsome too...

It's the Chicago Electric 68988

That was my user name back in the day when I frequented Grateful Dead boards. People still address me as Quinn or MQ to this day.

Great Star makes the ratchets/sockets for Kobalt (just go look at the Duratech 90 tooth ratchet for example).

I’m curious about it as well, maybe they’ll send him one. Looks pretty chunky compared to Ryobi

@@ryanthomas9685 I bought it already for an upcoming project. It does feel a little unwieldy, but it's the first nailer I've ever owned so I have no point of reference. The nail depth control was intuitive. Took me a minute to figure out how to load it, but I was able to do so without referring to the manual ( I got extra man points that day). I did shoot a few brads in a 2*2. Seemed to recycle fast enough. Durability and other concerns might be better addressed by someone who has owned and/or used other nailers.

i know 2 people with those new craftsman and they've both had issues... let me guess, the direction switch..

Great compared to kobalt's tool set quinn still isn't premium tool brand warranty ..

@@cduran562onfire Better than Stanley.

dude don't get that thing. it'll work, don't get me wrong. i went with a more portable option. i've always changed tires on everything i own unless getting a new set or something. often times it'll be a second hand set and i put them on myself. you should look at something similar to the esco 70160. i bought the knock off on ebay lol. that just breaks beads but that's the hardest part i think. personally, i'm fine using other basic tools to actually remove the tire from the rim. they do sell spoons for that but the cheap $10 harbor freight pry bar set also works if you do mind nicking the paint. my brother actually has that tire changer and barrowed my bead breaker when he bent the bead breaker on it. 35" tires is a bit much to ask of it. he was surprised by how well the esco knock off worked. i've used it on 6" mower tires on the front of my mower and so far up to 16" tires on my 3/4 ton truck. it's not been strained but the mower tires were kind of a tight squeeze. if you just need a mower tire broken down though you can probably poor some gas on the bead and give it a few to soak in and knock it loose with a big hammer and a crowbar. then just pry it off.. more advise, it's got slime in it, get it cleaned good before putting a tube in it. it'll shoot out the dry rot while popping the bead back with air if you don't. ask me how i know lol.

@@blueovalfan23 Well I did purchase the HF Mini Tire Changer. So far it has worked as advertised. I don't do a lot of small tire changing but like to be able to do things for myself.

"We don't talk about how we do the bear" -- from the descrxiption

Apex makes the majority of Husky mechanics tools. Apex's SATA line is basically identical to the stuff they make for Husky. They also get some tools from Great Star (usually xmas stuff like those black ratcheting wrenches they had a few years ago). But the vast majority is from Apex. Not sure where bear is getting Apex makes Kobalt though. Most of the Kobalt mechanics tools are made by Great Star (huge Chinese OEM). If you look at GS' Duratech line, it is basically the same stuff they are selling to Lowes for Kobalt. Apex might supply some stuff to Lowes but for mechanics tools, the main supplier is GS. Kind of the opposite of HD. Great Star was also recently making sets for SEARS Craftsman (not to be confused with SBD Craftsman, other than name they are completely unrelated) as well. Not sure if they still are (Sears has a habit of not paying their bills lately, go figure). They are Work Pro (a Great Star brand) sets that they just re-badged Craftsman for Sears.

They make a lot of Husky, Kobalt, Masterforce and others.
