My brother got me a $100 harbor freight gift certificate and I'm trying to decide what to get with it. Theres not a lot I can get for under $100, and money is pretty tight, so thats a big factor too.

There's an 8 gallon 4hp 120 psi air compressor for $120, and a 600ft/lb mechanic's impact wrench for like $70 (on sale). But I'm not sure the 8-gallon tank would be big enough to get much use out of the wrench. There are also a few 10 gallon compressors for around $40 more.

The other option is a welder, but I can only afford a flux wire welder and I don't know if thats what I need for general dicking around with exhausts and whatnot. They have an oxy-acetylene kit too, but its $170 and I'm sure the gas and tanks are plenty more.

Help please :happysad:

 

wtf is harbor freight?
Is that a shipping company? Or like a Home Depot?

 

tools

 

double up on tools and stuff. Good to have extra.

They have tons of stuff... don't have to spend it all on one thing.

 

ooh... i just found this for $175 on sale from $3-something. How does this look?

# Welding current range: 25 to 87 amps
# Input: single phase 115 volts, 60 Hz
# Open voltage: 19 to 30
# Duty cycle: 20% @ 75 amps, 45% @ 50 amps
# Draws 21 amps @ 120 volts
# Weldable wires: 0.023'' to 0.035'' steel and stainless steel, 0.030'' to 0.035'' aluminum, 0.030'' flux-cored

 

I've pretty much got doubles (or more) for all my hand tools, so I'm looking for something a little different.

 

you can get an engine hoist for about that much from Harbor Freight.

 

I can borrow my friend's dad's pretty much whenever I want, so I don't really need one. Plus I don't have a lot of storage space.

 

just go to their store (if they have a walk in store) and sell it to one of the customers there for $75 cash h:

 

Sell it on ebay for 90 bucks then use the cash for a cheap hooker.
