Need Harbor Freight Help

Weldangrind · 03-08-2010, 05:40 PM

Within the last couple of months, one member (can't remember who) posted about an upcoming sale at Harbor Freight in March. The sale item was a 6.5hp horizontal shaft engine for $79.00.

I searched, but I can't find it here or at www.harborfreighttools.com. Can anybody remember where it was posted?

Looks like they went up a bunch!

Not sure if you'll be paying shipping on that W&G but i notice Princess Auto has a 6.5hp on sale for $119 http://www.princessauto.com/engines/...tal-gas-engine

Thanks for the PA info, waynev. I found that engine at PA, but I'm going to be in Oregon soon, so I thought I'd grab one at that price from HF.

I found it online: http://parkinglot.harborfreightusa.c...m/info/home.do

That sale on those engines is this friday march 12, saturday march 13 and sunday march 14.

I plan to have my wife snag me one first thing friday morning.

What are you going to do with that? Put it in your minivan for a little more power?

Weldangrind · 03-08-2010, 06:36 PM

If you're gonna grab one, make sure to use the HF 20% off coupon, because it's good for sale items. I found mine in a March 2010 Car Craft magazine. I also found them online at http://www.harborfreight.com/hftusa/...mages/20_c.jpg

Boo. :roll:

I haven't made a firm decision yet, but I have a few ideas. I'll be sure to post up my madness as it unfolds.

So how does some buy from the parking lot sale?

Just show up at your local Harbor Freight store, with enough cash; however, for the really good items, it certainly helps to show up early!

You can search for the nearest Harbor Freight store by visiting the web link below.

Harbor Freight has several locations; check out www.harborfreighttools.com and click on the Retail Stores link to find one in your area.

I have good cheap fun in there.

OK, but that is a long way from me. But now I understand. Thanks
