If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Harbor Freight after Thanksgiving sale

That's actually a good price for the IR thermometer. I bought one last summer and it seems to work well.

I follow the HF sales fliers closely and too many times they advertise as being on sale this week/month but in reallity it's the same old price.
 
Thats $5 cheaper then Ive ever seen them and also $5 less then I paid for one
 
I plan on making a visit tomorrow. want to look at the motorcycle lift table too
 
lift and thermo

lift and thermo

Hi,

Ive bought both items from HF in the last year or so, I paid about 27 with coupons for the thermo, and about three hundred with coupon for the lift. I like both items, but you need to put an alkaline battery in that thermo, not a heavy duty like I had, and the battery has a fairly short life as well. Without a strong battery, readings will not be correct or very sporadic. Thats a good item to have a spare batt for every time you use it.

I like my lift, but one of them came back to the HF showroom, with a failed hydraulic cyl, they blew it out for two hundred bux, needing the cylinder, but by that time, I had mine already. I will say,if you leave the lift jacked up with weight on it, it will leak a bit overnight, that crossbar must be in place and the cyl must have pressure off as it says in the instructions. This said, I caution against buying sophisticated stuff at HF, I think youll find its the very lowest quality stuff, meant for gentle use only, which is fine. Ive had to take a lot of stuff back to HF, after its failed, or is such poor quality in initial use that I couldnt trust it. I have a battery charger to take back right now, it failed after three uses, am not going to get another one of those. I first thought that the batt charger was one of the old fashioned kind, that just provided a source of twelve volts, its not, it has that circuit in it, where the charged item must have a certain level of voltage in it already for it to charge further. Since I wanted a charger that I could do rust electrolyses with, that wont help me.

I have had decent luck with the battery maintainers from there though, I have three and they all seem to work fine. For five bux, they are in my price range. Keep the shiny side up.
