 Topic: New Harbor Freight Store
Posted: 25 Apr 2019 at 4:28pm |

I wonder how they decide where they put them. I sent them an email asking them to put one in a local town. Town has 10000 people and nearest HF store is at least 1 hour away. I think 1/2 of the old Walmart is still for rent. Tractor supply rents 1/2 of it. Heck after 44 years of owning my own business's I'd be interested in running it for them.

Free tools from returns is a benny. I hear they toss a lot of returns. I'd love to dumpster dive mine but it is locked up.
You could start a parts supply from them dumpster tosses. People always complain of no parts in the product comments section online.

I been a thinking about this thisafternoon. This is a college town. I'd need some experienced help setting up the computer system. As much trouble as that young shameless has had with his i think he outta have lots of experience with them. And I'd need some experienced feller to help me hiring some of these gals to work there. He seems ta have a lotto experience with the gals at TSC. I'm a betting he could pick out a 1/2 dozen good ones to help. I might even toss a couple of corn dogs on the grill in leiu of payment.

Nephew works HF, started as stock boy as ALL do, store front manager runs Ten stores, travels a lot, nephew gets to go and clean up the ill stores where the help doesn't, his group manager will not give him a recommend for his own stores as he cannot find anyone to replace him for his own cleanup work.

No, but you need an interpreter to understand the English translation printed on the box.

one tool I got from them that is a life saver is a hydraulic platform lift.. This is a table about 20 x 36 inches with a hydraulic jack under it.. They got a 500# lift for $170. and a 1000# lift for $260. I bought the bigger unit. It collapses down to about 9 inches off the ground and raises to about 36 inches.. Has 5 inch rubber wheels to roll around the shop.. I use it to slide parts out of the truck bed and roll them over to the work bench.. Used it yesterday to slide a big 3 point adaptor plate for a Bob Cat on it, raise it up to 36 inches and weld repair it for a day... Nice unit.

Hmmmm... I'll definitely have to stop by there. I've been in the market for somethin' like that to pick up some heavier items to set on the work bench like these cast iron Kohlers for example. The ole' back is gettin' to old n' weak to lift that stuff anymore! Happen to see one in one of the Napa "Real Deals" circulars, but it was a heck of a lot more than $170. bucks. That wasn't a "Real Deal" there to me compared to this price....

Sounds like your talking on their motorcycle lift table - handles 1000 lbs - have 2 of them in shop - odd I have a bike on each and end up still working on the floor on another bike
