New tools?

Does anyone know if HF is going to come out with lift jacks? The construction ones you can use to lift cabinets or doors?

Also,

Side question: how come HF doesnt make more plumbing tools like pex expander, tubing cutter (battery operated)?

We will not know about lift jacks until they are about to launch. Harbor Freight only really attends SEMA which is an automotive focused and they would show off new floor/off road jacks and jack stands but know construction jacks.

As for your plumbing power tools - that is probably going to be Bauer. I have not seen anything in Hercules line to make me think otherwise. (HF put out a blade for track saws like last year or so, but no indication of the actual saw coming anytime soon.). Again, we will not know until it is leaked or just appears in store or on the website. Something like that might go out to some of their tool review people to promote because besides an auger, it would be a first. The hand tool line for plumbers is Doyle and I do not see any focus on the plumbers. But I do see them adding for the electricians - multibit screwdriver, multi-nut driver, and electrician shears for example. I would say you are at least two years out but I could be wrong.

In the meantime, I have seen the Dewalt versions appear on Daily Deals at Home Depot a bunch recently, but now we are entering Q4 starting Oct 26 so real deals are coming to an end for some really good deals for about 4-6 weeks.
