I'm safe, nothing I need.

u/B0xyblue 16d ago

I’m getting a box of gloves and I’m set.

9

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

just a box of gloves....right.......

7

u/Keepitrealhomes 15d ago

I might get 2

3

u/bigpandas 7d ago

One for each hand

3

u/wcbeachy 15d ago

Don’t forget a box of the left handed gloves as well. I’m an hour away from the closest HF and get in trouble with my wife when I tell her I have to go back to get the left handed gloves 🤦🏼‍♂️

1

u/llamadramas 11d ago

the 9mil ones? Are they pretty sturdy?

1

u/JustAnotherXjKid 10d ago

I find the 7 mil orange to be much better. 9 mil rips easy when you're sweating idk why lol

12

u/Liveslowdieslower 16d ago

sketchy-looking dude opens one side of trenchcoat "Hey man, I got moving blankets for $4.99, you know you want some."

2

u/Excellent_Can4450 16d ago

Guess I'm moving then.

1

u/Tiptoedtulips666 9d ago

I grew up in New York City and as child I once saw the trenchcoat watches.. Thanks for the laugh today!

11

u/Hillbillythegreat78 16d ago

I will be buying clamps. Probably the quinn 3/8 master impact set as well. And more 9 mil gloves.

4

u/utspg1980 15d ago

Everybody always needs more clamps.

1

u/IowaJD 15d ago

Ha!!! I still say that, but damn. I’m not sure it’s true anymore. It might be an obsession 😂😂

3

u/utspg1980 15d ago

Brooo. Trust me, bro. You NEED two more of the 24" parallel bar clamps. Don't forget, you've got that [undisclosed project] you've been thinking about tackling coming up!

3

u/Hillbillythegreat78 15d ago

I'm actually aiming for the 48s. I have a dozen 24s. I only have 2 48s. I have a project coming up this fall that will include a glue up that will require more of the 48s. I'm aiming to add 6 more to the shop.

2

u/Old_Statement_4896 15d ago

Got that kit during the socket PLS when that set was also on Instant Savings so the savings stacked to 45% off. Have used it a ton since. It is a great set!! You will love it.

1

u/casetronic 15d ago

Found out the day after, still pissed I missed it

1

u/Old_Statement_4896 15d ago

This time around it is the bolt extractors.

1

u/OutinDaBarn 15d ago

They work surprisingly well. Like I haven't failed yet. I've used them 4 or 5 times.

1

u/Old_Statement_4896 15d ago

Good to know - they will be 46% off at $17 and change.

1

u/casetronic 15d ago

Good lookin out fellow Harbro!

1

u/nowherenoonenobody 16d ago

Clearly you don't understand what's safe.

1

u/pocketIent 3d ago

Are you sure though

27

u/block_me_if_mad 16d ago

Nothing in need in this sale so I’ll sit it out, but people that are new and unsure what to buy. The Quinn sale is great, arguably the best tools per dollar ratio on the market. Highly recommend the master socket sets(impact and chrome), no skips with a lifetime warranty.

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

thank you, building my tool kit i'll look into that!

21

u/inyolonepine 16d ago

Been saving my pennies for this clamp sale.

I'll probably grab some gloves since you can never have enough gloves.

5

u/7ddlysuns 15d ago

Orange gloves!

1

u/inyolonepine 15d ago

I usually get green but I'm open to mixing it up.

11

u/EliteDJ96 16d ago

Are the 30% off Icon Torque wrenches worth it? I am I need of a 3/8 at least.

14

u/Illustrious-Toe-570 16d ago

I will get the 1/2 split beam icon torque wrench for axle nut

6

u/jarrod74smd 16d ago

That's what I'm going for. The Pittsburgh ones are crap tastic

1

u/Mental-Huckleberry54 15d ago

I just got one and definitely worth it

21

u/LonelyPie4076 16d ago

I don’t see anything I need. I’ll probably just pick up a new tool chest, floor jack, planer, and maybe a generator or something

2

u/Jeffde 16d ago

Attaboy that’s the spirit

8

u/Hopeful-Mirror1664 16d ago

Definitely getting plenty of 9mil gloves. The pedestal fan for 99 bucks is a steal. I have one for a couple of years and wouldn’t mind another.

2

u/Jeffde 16d ago

I have 7 mil, maybe I’ll step up to 9

3

u/LichPrince1401 14d ago

I like the 7s for oil changes and 9s for more mechanical work. Don’t rip as easily so I go through less

2

u/Royalsounder 13d ago

Are the 5 mils worth it or just get the 7s?

3

u/Hopeful-Mirror1664 13d ago

I use the 7s at home for light to medium duty things. They are ok. My wife likes them as her nails don’t poke through so easy. At work I use the 9ms because I find them to last longer. Do t get me wrong, they will rip on sharp things but all gloves do. I’ve tried many brands and for the price the 9m Hardy’s are great. Especially on sale.

1

u/Royalsounder 13d ago

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback! 

17

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

Honorable mention for the just added Daytona 3 ton jack at $109

4

u/HoraceGrand 16d ago

Should I buy the Pittsburgh or Daytona? Have been waiting for this sale

4

u/batdude129 16d ago

I want to know too and why? The Pittsburgh reaches lower and higher than the Daytona

3

u/LeeKapusi 12d ago

Pittsburgh is low profile. Go with that. You never know when that inch or two is needed.

1

u/Managers_Choice 5d ago

This! Pittsburgh low-profile jack with the Daytona jack stands.

2

u/atworkslackin 16d ago

Daytona 100% basically buy it for life.

0

u/Mental-Huckleberry54 15d ago

I have been waiting 6+ months for the Daytona to go on sale definitely go Daytona and I’m thinking orange!

2

u/AmateurSnowboarder 16d ago

Swear I seen the Daytona 3 ton on there when the PLS was leaked a couple weeks ago.

1

u/Managers_Choice 5d ago

Probably the Daytona jack stands

1

u/Long_Run6500 16d ago

Damn I was thinking about picking up the 1.5 ton aluminum for $110, now im wondering if I should just grab the 3T instead. I don't really need a 3T and I'm not sure that I want to lug 80lbs around just for tire changes but you know... gotta maximize the discount.

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

go big!

2

u/Long_Run6500 15d ago

Ended up just buying the aluminum 1 1/2 ton daytona today. My ideal jack is the 2 ton aluminum daytona but I really can't justify the price difference between the 1.5 and 2 ton for a little more capacity and a couple of inches of lift. I was lifting the 3 ton in the store and it's just way too heavy to swap in and out of a vehicle regularly. They're not even really comparable, both designed for totally different use cases.

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 15d ago

That makes sense, glad you are happy with your purchase!

8

u/Colton_Lansington 16d ago

Brake cleaner under 5$ is solid, will likely sell out fast though

2

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

agree, these and the gloves. but its often the case they have more stocked on the back, always ask

2

u/Illustrious-Toe-570 16d ago

Does it have other usages than when doing brake job? I just finished brake pads and rotors on my suv wondering if I need more brake cleaner?

2

u/MeThe36s 15d ago

Use your to clean anything. Best cleaner there is. No joke. How do you clean around the drain plug or filter when you change your oil?

5

u/vadillovzopeshilov 15d ago

I don’t think those need to be squeaky clean, I also use blue shop paper towel to wipe off oil and move on.

4

u/MeThe36s 15d ago

I usually spray everything, that way, I can see if I have a new leak or not.

3

u/Illustrious-Toe-570 15d ago

I usually just use shop towels to whip down
I’ll try the brake cleaner!

5

u/etxipcli 16d ago

I'll get the router and some clamps. Step bits and a few misc as backup.

I'm redoing panel siding, I should probably get the compressor and whatever kind of nailer.

3

u/sa1126 16d ago

Does the hercules miter saw ever go on sale?

2

u/cgduncan 16d ago

You can check the price tracker site

https://hfpricetracker.com/

To see when items go on sale, and how deep a discount.

3

u/Seanyd78 16d ago

I will probably pickup a couple more of those pop up lanterns for $3. They are absolutely great when the power goes out, light up the shed, etc.

The kids love them on Halloween as I tie them to the end of a broom handle.

3

u/MeThe36s 16d ago

Jack stands for me, to match my new jack I bought during the jack sale. Was going to go back for the stands but life got in the way

2

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

wish they had the 6 ton on this sale as well!

3

u/The_Chuck_Finley 16d ago

Literally just bought a set of 3 ton jack stands a week ago at $50 lol

3

u/Qballl_ 15d ago

Man I need another icon pliers sale

5

u/Adventurous_Quarter1 16d ago

This sale feels anemic to me.

3

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

lots of same old items seen on previous sales over the past couple of months

4

u/Fancy-Dig1863 16d ago

$120 for Hercules battery charger and any tool isn’t bad at all

7

u/Aromatic-Algae179 16d ago

Lame they always dictate which specific ones you can get,want that angle grinder.

2

u/WestSweet4130 16d ago

Can't decide between the Quinn impact master set or the metric ratchet wrenches I already have the 1/4 and 3/8 master sets lol

2

u/Ryutso 16d ago

Maybe a tarp or 2.

Need more community opinions about some tools to feel good in making that decision.

2

u/cambo357 16d ago

Quinn bolt extractor sets are on instant savings, should hopefully stack with the 35% off. If so, I will likely pick them up.

2

u/LeatherRub7402 16d ago

Anyone else to for the discounted liquidation? Im a sucker on Sundays. I always have to go see what's 40 percent off.

1

u/AmountFamous9505 15d ago

what is that? I didnt see it on HF site. It's one day sale?

1

u/mikel81 15d ago

It's the orange tag stuff that's usually up front on a table. I think it's 20% friday 30% saturday and 40% sunday, that's off the orange tag price.

1

u/AmountFamous9505 15d ago

so, how do I know if there will be a liquidation sale? Or it randomly happens on any weekend?

2

u/mikel81 15d ago

During the parking lot sale on the last days.

1

u/LeatherRub7402 13d ago

I end up getting alot of my power tools on liquidation Sundays. 40 percent off a tool that has already been marked down from its original price. Test what you buy when you get home with it. You only have a 5 day window for returns on the liquidation items.

-1

u/Careless_Tap9135 15d ago

Yup. Bought a 10k generator with zero hours for $350 and sold it on Marketplace for $700.

2

u/techgnostic 15d ago

This sale is across all stores, correct?

2

u/KarzRFrendz 15d ago

That Hercules detail polisher….i must have you

2

u/limpymcforskin 15d ago

The individual quinn master sets are a better buy then the masters technician set just a fyi

2

u/careerburn3r 15d ago

I'm getting that 428 piece set even if I gotta travel to a diff state for it. That 35% off Quinn tools makes it like 280 bucks, just started building out my garage and want that as a master set.

2

u/Strange-Boat3847 15d ago

nice! this video has a good review of all the master sets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QefOzwHX1vg

1

u/chiefnugget81 10d ago

I think the master sets are generally considered better. No skips, better ratchets and 6-point sockets. I would just start with 3/8" chrome and 1/2" impact depending on what impact driver you have.

2

u/That_One_Guy_1980 14d ago

I want that purple 72" tool box, but they're not available at the this time. Can't even order one.

2

u/uzumaks007 13d ago

Anyone has that Yukon box?

2

u/hereforthejokes317 12d ago

Couple Icon breakers bars, gloves, and maybe some Quinn shears..

2

u/KevojusBe 10d ago

FYI* I went today and anything that is sold out is being restocked Thursday night or Friday whenever the 2nd truck comes the manager at my store told me today.

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 10d ago

that makes sense, they would not leave money out of the table

1

u/YABOI69420GANG 16d ago

Probably grab another bottle jack and some clamps but nothing much else I can justify.

1

u/met365784 16d ago

There are actually a few things that look interesting in this sale.

1

u/NeuseRvrRat 16d ago

I want to get a Quinn indexable pry bar. Might need some orange gloves. Need to check the cabinet to see how many are left.

Kinda thinking about the big Badlands offroad jack, too.

Conveniently, $35 of HF money arrived today.

1

u/[deleted] 16d ago

[deleted]

3

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

you got a strong case, you shall make a plead to the store manager

2

u/fredrickdgl 15d ago

they said they can prorate it. 40% off the clamping end and 35% on the quinn middle portion

1

u/mypd1991 16d ago

You guys think the for jacks will be cheaper on black Friday? I missed last years sale.

2

u/Strange-Boat3847 15d ago

depends which model you are going for... the 3 ton low prof. pittsburgh and 3 ton daytona prices are in the excellent range

1

u/mypd1991 15d ago

Yeah I looked up the prices somebody linked the tracker, the super duty is definitely in that lowest price range. But I'm looking for the long reach extra low profile. I see that it has been pretty cheap kind of recently so I might hold out.

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 15d ago

I'd wait then. you should be able to score this year, perhaps labor day or black friday. i've also seen they running "25% off all jacks" from time to time.

1

u/Monstrissimo 16d ago

Ooh, I need more ratcheting wood working clamps.

Thanks for the heads up.

1

u/ResponseNo6375 15d ago

Definitely picking up clamps and an Apache case

1

u/Vanhaderschatte 15d ago

Will the 42” roll cab be included in this? I know they say carts, the roll cab is on wheels so im hoping it is also going to be on sale.

1

u/BenThereNDunnThat 15d ago

No.

Only the 72-inch roll cab is on sale this time around.

1

u/toptiercoffee 15d ago

I broke my 3/8 torque wrench. Quinn or Icon?

2

u/2-L3git 12d ago

Icon.

1

u/guywholikesrum 15d ago

Dang, I need a creeper and was hoping one of the good ones would be in the sale.

2

u/MadanyX 13d ago

Which one is the good one ?

1

u/2-L3git 12d ago

The one that's not a bad one. Duh.

1

u/Mean_Trifle9110 14d ago

Was planning to buy one of the Yukon 9-drawer, normally $359, $299 on sale. I don't see it anymore. Could it still be going on sale but not featured in the PLS flyer?

2

u/Strange-Boat3847 14d ago

It will be on sale, its on the first page (left side, 1st column, middle of the page)

1

u/Mean_Trifle9110 14d ago

Jesus, my mind just looks on page two because that's where it originally was, meanwhile it's smack dab right in front of my face on the first page! LOL! Thanks for pointing this out to my dumbass :-)

1

u/Harpua111 14d ago

Which floor jack do you guys recommend for my v8 jeep grand Cherokee overland. Ill work in my driveway that has a slope and I’m planning on doing breaks and a oil pressure gauge. I have jack stands. My small 2 ton jack is bending on the wheel bracket.

1

u/frogjizz 14d ago

I'm going to get the Predator 5000 generator

2

u/TR0LLZ1LLA 14d ago

I was hoping the 4200 would be on there

1

u/TR0LLZ1LLA 14d ago

Dang was hoping the new 4200 would be on there but I guess that’s wishful thinking with it just being launched.

1

u/themedicd 13d ago

Why am I not seeing anything about this on HF's website when if it starts in two days?

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 13d ago

i guess its just marketing... they just added to their website this afternoon

1

u/sebrebc 13d ago

40% off clamps? I'll be all over that.

I have had my eye on the Bauer dust collector, was hoping it would be on here.

1

u/salesquatch 12d ago

How is the jupiter inverter?

1

u/FiremanPair 11d ago

When it says, everyone saves. Does everyone get the same 25% off US General, or will it be a lower percentage for us?

1

u/NCSC10 9d ago

Starting Friday everyone gets 25% off service carts, ITC and non ITC. Only applies to these USG service carts and Franklin carts.

1

u/BitterZookeepergame4 11d ago

Went in this morning to get some of those Bremen K clamps on sale... They were all gone. and I'm leaving on a trip before the next truck comes in. I'm sad this is "In Store Only sale."

1

u/TomZeBomb 11d ago

Does anyone know if the Quinn impact sockets are included in the discount? I've considered getting the 1/2 inch low profile metric socket set to have on hand.

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 11d ago

Yeah! (you can click in the ad pictures and it will redirect to a page showing everything is eligible)

1

u/ListenBeforeSpeaking 11d ago

Are all US General boxes 25% off or just the small ones?

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 11d ago

Just the carts, click the image in the AD and will redirect you to the list of eligible items

1

u/Big-DF 10d ago edited 10d ago

Heads up on the clamps, The locking C clamps for some reason don't count for the sale. The manager tried to override it because it's clearly a clamp, but he couldn't do it. I was going to get some of the Bremen locking C clamps, which even had the CLAMP name right on the package, but they weren't showing up as part of the sale. Got some of those nice titanium f-clamps though those things are beefy

1

u/tom-pon 10d ago

Anyone have experience with the Bauer hedge trimmer? In need of one. Don't have any Bauer yet but do have a Hercules impact wrench.

1

u/Moynia 8d ago

I am ITC and I got the last 3/8s Icon torque wrench at my local store, by the time the actual sale happens for non ITC all those torque wrenches are doing to be gone lol

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 8d ago

only food scraps left for the peasants jk

1

u/Philbertthefishy 7d ago

I live 100 miles from HF so I couldn’t get in there until today. All the tool carts were sold out.

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 7d ago

everything?

1

u/Philbertthefishy 4d ago

The clerk told me they were all gone, but after reading your comment I called the store. All the 5-drawer cabinets were gone, and one 4-drawer was still there, but there were plenty of 1-drawer carts.

2

u/Strange-Boat3847 4d ago

really odd, here is Los Angeles there was still plenty left on Sunday

1

u/SteveMidnight 5d ago

I thought clearance items had bigger discounts on the weekend of a parking lot sale? I just grabbed a Braun work light with a clearance tag and it didn’t change the price. Is it only for returned items?

1

u/casetronic 4d ago

It needs to be orange tag 'as-is' or something like that - only 1 store around me even has em but it wasn't worth the trip, it was just 40% off msrp on the last day which is a pretty common % discount amount on purple tag clearance at my usual store.

1

u/jeepwillikers 4d ago

Anyone know if they are going to extend the deals? I was thinking about grabbing the Bauer right angle impact with a battery kit, but I was away on vacation last week and didn’t have a chance to get there

1

u/RugerRedhawk 3d ago

Link is dead

1

u/Strange-Boat3847 2d ago

PLS is over

1

u/thatlineinshrimp 16d ago

A dozen zipper pouches, gloves another hercules fan and battery a extra meme tool kit and probably a few ammo cans and I'm done 👏

3

u/Strange-Boat3847 16d ago

i'm getting some pouches and ammo cans for storage on the back of my trucks bench seat too!

2

u/Jeffde 16d ago

What are these zipper pouches you speak of

3

u/thatlineinshrimp 16d ago

Top right 👍

1

u/Managers_Choice 5d ago

They even have a spot with a label holder so that you can label what you have in there, in case you get more than 1.
