Harbor Freight Tools

This location definitely needs more cashiers; one does not cut it. Especially, when it takes 30 minutes to make a transaction!

I like that I have a Harbor Freight as an option. There are quite a few items that you will pay significantly less for compared to Lowes or Home Depot. Yes, some of the tools are not of top caliber quality, but they certainly get the job done, no question about that. They carry some random items too – I picked up a pretty handy watch repair kit which works great when you need to resize a band.
Keep an eye out for the «value pack» mailer coupons and you’ll usually find the typical free item with purchase coupon and one for 20% off any one item. If you wish to receive their ads, they will ask for your info in store and you’ll get your coupons that way. Don’t expect to walk in the store and cut one out of the weekly ad because it won’t be there ;)

Harbor Freight –Valencia, CA.
FAST, Friendly & very Clean store. But, Jay & Ruberto were the best in helping us locate the Roller tool box, holding it while I took my family out to dinner.
Making it back minutes before closing Jay & Ruberto helped in loading it into my truck.
I live in Glendale but would make the trip just for the friendly service I got at this store over other’s that I have been in.

I still rather go to Home Depot or Lowes, but it seems that Harbor Freight Tools always has the one thing that every other retailer doesn’t and at a better price than online, which is why I keep coming back.
You can almost always catch a sneaky 20% off in the emails they send out or the coupon papers available when you first walk in.
Staff is almost non-​existent when it comes to being available on the floor; other than the cash registers. The manager also hides behind his totally non-​recognizable (being sarcastic), giant two-​way mirror. I literally chuckle to my self every time I see it. It’s stupid.
One of the workers have actually encouraged me to write this review today, and it was a rather uncomfortable and negative experience. A lady came up in the middle of my transaction and kindly asked if the specific flood light she was holding was recommended and would generally hold up well. NICK, said he didn’t recommend it at all. She asked if he had any recommendations on similar flood lights, and he literally laughed at her and said he’s never even seen nor used those lights. Not only I, but looking at the facial expressions of the people behind me, we all were uncomfortable. NICK even wrote her off like she was a piece of shit in front of everyone in the middle of her response and continued on with my transaction asking if my day was going well. It was going very well until I saw the poor lady just walk away with her cart without answers.
Look, if you can’t answer the questions a customer is asking, call a manager over or ask an associate rather than literally laughing at the customer and continuing the «Wannabe cool guy ego». It’s not hard at all.
I felt extremely compelled to turn around and help the woman, since she clearly looked like she didn’t know what she was doing, and was most likely buying for her husband/​Christmas.
I didn’t (shame on me) because I felt like I would have said something that would have escalated into an argument with Nick, and I don’t argue with ignorance. He has no manners, and never has every time I see him in the store (been coming here since opening).
Don’t work retail if you are constantly feeling bothered by customers. «badaboom».

Average parking, but it’s in the same shopping center as the 99 cent store, so it can get crowded. It’s a small to medium size store that had limited hardware items. They have a house brand (Pittsburgh) that are average to below average quality. They also have a «pro» brand that costs a little more and are a little better quality. If you need a tool to fix something once or twice, this is the place to go… They probably won’t last very long. Just remember the old saying about «buyer beware»… Applies here. They have weekly ads in the newspaper and magazines and coupons, etc. they usually offer a free item with any purchase. Like a free little flashlight or scissors, tarp, screwdrivers, etc. sometimes a percentage off coupon too.

Good old Harbor Freight made it out here! Great store for those odds and ends or tools you need for a single project! This is the cleanest HF I’ve been in – much nicer than the he one in North Hollywood. Aisle signs were in English and Spanish, which I didn’t like, because it excludes the variety of other languages people might speak.

Great place for people who like to DIY or just tinker and learn some basic repairs around the house. With HFT you can grab some decent tools and get going on your project.
Most of the tools are pretty good and the prices are even better. Some can be of cheaper quality and motors can burn out sooner than higher quality tools — but hey you get what you pay for. And for most people just doing minor repairs or quick weekend warrior backyard projects, the tools are great.
The staff is friendly and helpful, although I wish there were a few more registers open when the line backs up. I don’t know how many times I’m behind a person who is doing a return and then buying a new item with the coupons. Just open another register for those of us who are ready to pay. ;)
This location seems good sized and well stocked. Aisles are clean and organized so browsing and finding things are a breeze. Gotta love the coupons too. You can always find a 20% off plus get a free gift!

Pretty good store at this area, lots of chose, so nice workers… Sometimes really good deals !!!

Pretty good deals on Chinese imported tools. You can pick up a small compressor or generator for around $ 70! Can’t beat that. They have a bunch of power tools that can be very handy for the do-​it-​yourself types or hobbyist. Was tempted to pick up some gismos for the garage but I’ll wait until I absolutely need them.

First visit here and I gotta say that I’m impressed! The staff is friendly. The prices are awesome! Will be using them instead of Home Depot or lowes!

Buyer beware ! Keep your receipt because they won’t take anything back or let you exchange it without it even if it’s broken ! We bought a faulty battery charger and they would not exchange it because we did not have the receipt. I might go back and get a furniture dolly they had for cheap.

This is where you go to buy any tool you can imagine for a very affordable price. They have power tools, hand tools, machine shop equipment, and various tools for your typical DIY’er or the professional.
Some people express concern that their power tools, made by Chicago Electric, are poor quality, but I have yet to experience any issues with them.
Make sure you join their email list because they will send you amazing discount coupons regularly. For example, I have been eyeing a 15 gallon air compressor that usually costs $ 230. I received an email for a 3 day sale where I could buy it for $ 130! They always have amazing blow out sales so be sure to get on the list.
They have a great 90 day return policy with receipt which is great. Also, they offer a lifetime warranty on all of their power tools.
The store is organized and clean. Lines can get long on Sale days, but they have enough cashiers to move customers along quick enough. Most of the cashiers that I’ve seen are happy, are sure to greet you and ask if I was able to find everything I needed.
This will always be my first stop to buy tools prior to Home Depot or Lowes.

If you need to buy tools to give to someone as part of a ‘gag gift’ or for your 9 year old boys first tool kit, this is the place. I was amazed at the large collection of visibly cheap Chinese made tools.
You don’t have to buy snap on or other brand names to get good tools. Other stores carry decent private label tools that will fulfill the needs of most homeowners. Personally, I prefer to invest a bit more because tools should last a lifetime.
That being said, the product here appears to be mostly junk. If you are looking to save some money, check the web for some great deals on tools. Employees at the store were clueless and could not answer the most basic questions. Finally found out from a manager that most of what they carry is their own private label garbage tools.

best employees, customer service and very fast and I highly recommended getting the ITC Membership 29.99 it pays for itself and its amazing. COme here cheap and pretty decent

Why in the world am I giving HFT a full five stars? Because I can get the job done with minimal cost thanks to Harbor Freight.
Tool elitists don’t belong here. People who care about finishing their automotive, home improvement or construction work come here because the tools are good enough.
Do I care that my wrench is chrome finished and has a brand name stamped on it? Heck no. I care that I can rebuild my cylinder head and I’m back on the road. The HFT torque wrench is just as accurate as my Snap-​On, yes it’s true.
You’ll find good enough tools and good customer service at fantastic prices.
