Introduction to Harbor Freight Tools and Workshop Plans

I gained a lot of respect and insight for Harbor Freight when I got to meet their engineering team at SEMA. If you guys ever have an opportunity to go to SEMA, stop by the Harbor Freight booth because the engineers that actually design, build, and test these tools are all standing around waiting there to answer your questions. So, you guys can actually talk to the people that build these tools first hand. And one of the things I discovered about Harbor Freight that a lot of people don't know or realize is that their engineering team is inside the United States. But on top of that, they also do all of the testing and refining of these tools inside of the United States. Now, the production is global. The main thing that Harbor Freight focuses on is cutting out the middle men. So, they're what they're able to do is produce tools that are equivalent to the top of the line tools that you see anywhere available, but then bring them to you for a much less expense just simply because they don't have so many middle men touching those tools that are doing absolutely nothing. So, they're basically building just as good as anybody else around that you can find, but not charging you for it. And here's the thing. Harbor Freight actually has specific tools aimed at specific levels. So, the Hercules that you're going to see us picking up inside of the video today, those are the top of the line, but they have mid-level and then they have lower-tiered tools, too. So, that you can find a tool that fits your price budget. But let's dive into today's video and you're going to see us getting a big shipment from Harbor Freight, and we'll show you what we picked up cuz we're just starting our own garage build. Let's get this one going.
