Harbor Freight on Black Friday - am I crazy?

[Brian]

So normally I avoid going out on Black Friday like the plague, but I'm looking to pick up a couple new tool cabinets while they're on sale this week. Anybody ever attempted visiting Harbor Freight on black Friday?

If I knew for sure they'd still have stock, I'd wait until Saturday - or at least later Friday afternoon, but now am seriously thinking about getting up early to save a few bucks.

Does Harbor Freight get hit by the huge frenzy that you see on TV like the Walmarts and Targets and toy stores, etc. do? Am I insane even to be considering it?

Not sure, but there is a new one at c470 and Yosemite

I checked the website to see if there was a "Buy Online...Pickup in Store" option. Didn't see it. But I have one of their big tool 72" tool chests. Definitely worth it to chance the crowds.

Well, that’s positive. No more driving into Aurora for cheap tools.

Right behind LoDo's, by On The Border.

I think you'd be alright if that was the primary destination for you on Friday morning. The afternoon may be worse there actually... I seriously doubt that's giong to be at the top of the list for most of the numbskulls out early Friday morning.

They have coupons for 15% off all tool storage right now.

Harbor freight is a store even non handy person likes to visit.

Some tools really sucks there, but majority of them are not bad at all.

I would also look at craftsman tool chest. Sometimes they get real good deals going on.

For working man's tools, there's better options. But for most of us shadetree hacks and amateur gunsmiffs, most of their stuff is just dandy. I have more HF tools and things than I could even begin to list. So much that I rarely find anything I need there that I don't already have.

No, it's right off County Line and Quebec. Surprisingly, not many people know about that one yet, so you may have a chance.
