St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted October 24, 2012 Hello everyone I thought I would mention that Harbor Freight Tools is having a sale on their 60" hardwood work bench with 4 drawers and a vise on the end for $129.95 this is a really great deal for a very well built work bench I have had mine for several years now and it has served me well from building guitars and guns now on to leather work. they also have a nice rotary punch that looks to be very well made for $6.95 and has a lifetime warranty my old punch was getting a lot of wear so I picked one of these up today It is just as nice if not better than the one I got a while back that I spent almost triple what I paid for this one. anyway if I wear it out quick I will go back to HFT and get a new one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CustomDoug Report post Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) That bench is showing $159 when I check the website, rather than $129. Regardless, that's a good deal! I'm going to head over there tomorrow and pick up one of those rotary punches.. I've been needing one forever. Will get that $7.50 air die grinder too while I'm there. I need the die grinder for mechanical things but I wonder if it could be used with a dremel burnisher bit instead of a dremel rotary type tool? Or maybe it would be too fast.. Thanks for the heads up. Edited October 25, 2012 by CustomDoug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted October 25, 2012 Doug that price reduction is in one of their sales fliers just get one when you go in and it will have the work bench in the flier on sale they also have some larger punches you might want to grab while you are there. http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html they also have a really nice sewing awl if you use an awl for installing the stitching I like using them on canvas and other heavy fabricks but nothing replaces the good ol saddle stitch on leather. anyway they also have a set of modeling tools I want to pick up too that looks like they would work well for tooling projects.

RoosterShooter Report post Posted October 28, 2012 The nearest Harbor Freight to me is 45 minutes away, in good traffic. Is there any way I can get the sales fliers in my email, or somewhere online? If I could see what's on sale ... it might be worth the $40 in gas to go over there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) you can sign up for their sales fliers on their website, you can also buy on line from HFT Also when you visit Harbor freight tools and buy merchandise they will put you into their system and you will get monthly sales fliers automatically harborfreight also has what they call the insidetrack club where you can save a whole lot more than just regular customer worth the money if you shop there a lot like I do. I save on the average at least $200.00 per year with the inside track club. pretty much works like the tandy or SLC wholesale club.
