Go to place for inexpensive tools. This is a great place to pick up different tools. Always check for coupons before you go so that you can get 20% off and a free gift.You can find coupons online.

I needed to get some tools for everyday use but nothing for heavy duty usage. And they had what I was looking for at an affordable price.

I love tools and this is the place to get what you need when you need it quick and at a good price. The staff were very friendly and knew where anything I asked for was located

Its misleading to show a price and then find out that you have to be a member. No Woo-hoo for that shopping experience. Back to Home Depot.

Harbor Freight can be very addictive to the handymen of the world. The costs are irresistible. But keep in mind you get what you pay for. The low cost items should be viewed as disposable or one use items. Some of there power tools are low on power and be sure to get the extended warranty on them. However, the industrial items, hand tools and accessories have proven more than adequate for the job.

Harbor freight is forever 5 stars in my book. If you need some inexpensive tools to get your project going or need to do some light to intermediate jobs on a regular basis then Harbor freight tools will get you where you need to go. If you are a professional and need professional tools to perform heavy duty work on a day to day basis...then maybe do some homework and know that harbor freight tools arent necessarily designed for that purpose, although some people may find they get the job done. I like theyre automotive paint sprayers

Associates are VERY friendly and helpful, even taking time to check for coupons and/or ITC pricing. They didnt hold up other customers while helping us or we would have not let them take that much time with us.The prices are almost always lower than other places with equal quality items. The ITC is a great bargain for anyone interested, we renewed today and saved half the membership price today.

05/04 1:50 p.m. I called about a Drain Cleaner being damaged wanting to know a number to call because i know i cant’t bring it back to the store and a very rude, unpolite, and unbothered about custumer service lady (VALENCIA, supposedly a supervisor) answered, she was talking to me like like if i was a bother to her, when i asked her why she was being so rude, she hung up the phone, i called several times trying to get somebody responsible and polite to answer the phone and she kept hanging up. I mean we paid $400+ for this machine, am trying to get info here) Til a gentleman answered, he was alot of help he explained to me everything i had to do. I really hope somebody consideres getting rid of this so called supervisor, my husband buys his tools at this store and everytime we go in everybody is helpful and nice except this SORE called Valencia, bad for the store.

So this store can really intimidate us ladies because most of us are not a handy man. However when I visited this store to look for a drill and a sander to do a home decor DIY project, the staff her was very helpful. The gentleman even gave me a 5 min training lesson. If you are new to using tools, they are willing to help you.

The store sales team was very pleasant and seemed eager to help with any questions I had. However, I will never be back to this location because the store had secret shoppers that they employed to try and monitor customers to prevent shoplifting. There where at least 6 in the store and they made it VERY OBVIOUS that they where watching me as I shopped. Even though I spent $260, I still felt as though I was a criminal as I was shopping. It was not pleasant being watched and followed by so many people. I have been to many places that employed secret shoppers for this purpose and I have NEVER been followed or watched or made to feel as uncomfortable as I was made to feel at this store.

I love meandering through all their tools and cabinets, and taking advantage of the freebies from their catalog! Their prices are very good and the quality of their cabinets is second to none at a fraction of the price.

Harbor freight tools in Homewood is much cleaner than its previous location. Since the move the store is a lot cleaner and it seems as if the staff have become friendlier as well. They usually have what Im looking for but COVID has really dwindled their resupply of several items.

I always enjoy shopping at Harbor Freight, its like a trip to the candy store. Not always the best quality but usually the best bang for your buck. The abundance of coupons that are always available makes the bargains even better. One caveat, shop early for the great deals because they often run out before the sale ends. I also tried to get a free flashlight with my coupon but for 3 Sundays in a row there were none in stock.

Always have loved coming to harbor freight, Im like a kid in a toy store. I know not everything here is top shelf, but this place is second to none on prices. Ive yet to take the plunge on purchasing any power tools, but one of these days I will. The pneumatic tools, particularly, have piqued my curiosity. They look massively powerful, ruggedly built, and the power output specifications are through the roof-if theyre accurate. So, even if you dont want power/hand tools from harbor freight, the drill bits, socket sets, sand pads, and grinding disc are all, at the very least, worth the visit. Whether youre a skilled laborer, or just working for the enjoyment of it; this place is worth a visit.

I love this store. It has so many interesting tools to look at. If you are a home owner who likes to perform preventative maintenance on your home or tinker in the garage, this is your place. The tools arent Snap on or DeWalt, but they will usually suffice. Ive had a pancake compressor from here for 10 yrs! It still works fine.

Review №77

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and lots of useful tools.They are very pleasant when trying to do returns or exchanges too. Makes things easier so you can get back to work quickly!Biggest complaints: Items are generally not sold individually. If you need one socket, they have sets. Same for other tools, like pliers and screwdrivers.However, they do sell power tools and batteries separately. Same for the components a tool needs to be used, such as sandpaper for a sander. Not surprising, but it can be frustrating.Good store. I would recommend it to friends.

Review №78

There are a few things worth buying here. Had good luck with the dust collector system. I prefer better quality tools. But if its something youll only use once,try it. Some of the metal in the tools bend very easily. Sandpaper is ok. Be sure to use the coupons in the sale flyer.

I like Harbor Freight for tools that arent going to be used in an industrial setting. I have bought tools here that have been excellent, have been powerful and have lasted a long time. I have bought other tools that have not done so well. The good news is that their prices are extremely low for what you are getting. In some cases paying a low price for a tool you dont expect to last forever might be beneficial. I do have some tools from here that have been put through rigorous work for over ten years and are still going strong.

I have been using Harbor Freight Tools for 10 years and they are still my favorite place to go to buy good tools at the lowest price. In their advertizments, I constantly see 20% discount coupons to their low priced tools. Today, at Harbor Freight Tools, bought a cement mixer and used s 20% discount coupon which made the price go down a lot.

These people are awesome and will help you save money and get what you need. Harbor Freight is decent on most items while some are throw aways. Use once, throw away bc it probably won’t work again. Lol. Made in China. Isn’t everything now days?!? 🤔
