i have been eying that for a few months, any experience with them?

heavyzee · #3 (**permalink**) 10-03-2008, 03:19 AM

i have a trailer from there and some of their tools,
the trailer is awesome, it folds up and has been great, the can tools leave something to desired, altho some have been great, so its kind of a shot in the wind, but if you have a local store, they have a good return policy

Yeah.. I had a friend pick up the "MC tyre changer" from there.. as he lives down the street from Harbor Frieght...
After I had I open the Package(s)... I pretty much Closed them right back up

and returned them myself!

Its hit or miss. If you are in the market for something you are only gonna use a short amount of times I would go with them. Regarding the chock, I dunno mang I would have to go look at it myself. I would prolly end up beefing it up a little myself to have some extra confidence in it...

The principal is the same and if you assemble it with nylock nuts it will proabably do it's job indefinitely

Harbor Freight sure picked a ugly ass mc for the ad

We need a tester C'mon Mark step-up

Thanks for the post HZ...now I'm thinking about driving to north MPLS. in traffic to get one.

Harbor's stuff can be hit or miss, its funny you mention the trailer, Ive got a buddy who had one and it wasnt all that "solid", but I hear good things from others. The thing about the baxley, Ive had one for a few years and its rock solid, even left it out in the rain for a few months

,and they're good to deal with.

Thanx for that link, may use one as a extra and see how it works!

Been using my MC tire changer from Harbor Freight for nearly 5 years. Added $5 worth of Plasti Dip in some strategic places and no complaints, works great. It's paid for itself ($80) about 20 times over by now.

I bought this one: Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

Works great, just had to put some rubber feet on the bottom since I didn't want to bolt it to the garage floor. Used a coupon and got it for around $30

I don't like the way it could apply pressure to the rotors!

I love my sport chock, but these look worth trying.

The one Zee posted is junk and flexes when not bolted down, dont waste your money or time.

i bought one of their folding trailers, works just fine, no issues at all, only drawback, no ramp, made one from a 2x12, but going to buy an aluminum ramp before hitting the track next time.
