If I was a store manager and people wanted to make youtube videos about all the cool stuff you could buy there, I'd be happy to have them do it! It's a freakin' free commercial for the store!
Right? I need to go get some paracord anyway, now I have a whole other list of stuff to grab. Those mechanic's picks, in particular. Those are a steal!
You've got to be careful with the HF "brass" brushes (as well.as other Chinesium "brass" brushes.) Sometimes they are brass-colored steel bristles. If you are counting on soft brass so, for example, you can attack rust spots without taking off the bluing and it's steel instead you might be doing some damage. Check those bristles with a magnet and if that "brass" sticks to the magnet it's really steel. A lot of "brass" fittings are really steel with brass coating. Many hinges, knobs, screws, and even those grommet kits can be steel imposters that will rust and stain your projects. Chinesium sneaky bastids.
HF should seriously get into tools specifically for firearms. They could probably deliver some cost-effective items and be real competitive to companies like Real Avid or Wheeler, etc.
@@actionjksnthey have a Quinn model but if you don’t want to go with that one I went with a neiko model I ordered that does well. Whichever one you go with make sure they have the certification tag inside showing how accurate it is. Think my specific one was within the range of 1-3 in lbs.
I used to think I needed to practice unlocking my bedside gun safe until 1 day I had a blinding flash of the obvious. Just open it when you climb in bed and close it in the morning. By the time they set off all the noise makers and get upstairs, I've already got a bead on them! Problem solved!
Best comment 😂 Although I'm surprised any employees were at that Harborfreight... I swear every employee is addicted to p0rn and hiding in the back, or they have a very successful organ harvesting scheme... I swear you could roll out half the store using carts, dollies, and moving equipment sold at the store before anyone may notice 😂 Although that sucks and I'm pretty sure theft (along with inflation) was a large part of the price increases and fewer unrestricted 20% off coupons 🙄 What kind of methhead is stealing items with the absolute lowest resale value?! (I guess the ones that get it away with it multiple times from the same store and location without getting caught 🤦♂️) I've been to maybe ten Harborfreights and only 2 actually have had great management and employees that keep everything stocked on the shelves while maintaining correct inventory to match their website... Most seem to have the absolute worst management I've ever witnessed. Also shout out to "Rural King" it's like a Harborfreight/Tractorsupply/auto parts store on steroids that also sells name brand tools in addition to HF priced products, plus free popcorn, coffee, AND guns, ammo, and some accessories... Snagged a 2 rifle AR height 42" heavy duty nylon padded soft case with 2 molle mag pouches, a permanent padded zipper compartment and a safariland 7TS holster for less than $100 😂 Sadly they are pretty rare to find, all on the east cost side, (west coast and middle flat county have their own equivalents with various names) basically a cluster up the map from central Florida to Ohio with a few random outliers... I wish my town had one, but we do have some cool family owned hardware stores that have a similar "we sell everything men want besides women" inventory 😂 One has a complete knitting/sewing/upholstery section next to the home furnishings if you already have the woman and need to distract her while you look at everything else 😉
Speaking as a gunsmith, the best thing I've found is the transfer punch set. Besides their intended use, they make great mandrels or pin stock, they're fairly soft and can be ground or turned to suit. This set is cheap, you can't buy the materials for the price. I always have at least 2 sets on hand.
Are you certified? Done any online classes or anything like that, or just learned hands on? I'm super interested in becoming a gunsmith and online classes (Sonoran desert institute) look cool but it's nothing but mixed results lmao. Not about to pay for a degree that won't do a damn thing for me if I can help it🤣
@@Bloodxbeast666never stop chasing your dreams. Learning a useful skill that helps insure self reliance is worth quite a bit whether or not it's profitable, can save you a little bit of money, or just an enjoyable hobby. Many many people spend untold fortunes on much more frivolous hobbies or entertainment. If you're tight on money, you might contact an older gunsmith and offer to work for him whatever few hours a week you can commit to in exchange for the knowledge you will pick up from him along with the best path to success in the trade. Read everything on the subject you can get your hands on. NEVER listen to negativity, from yourself or others. You can do it. They might not all comment, but I bet you have more than one stranger cheering for you!
... dude, a few years ago my wife got for me the ten gun safe you shown, she got the manager to get one for her. He came back saying that model on the floor was the only one they had, so he sold it to get half off - yeah one ninety nine! I love it, it has not only the electronic key pad to open it but also an emergency key to use if the battery dies ...
Good stuff. For shits and grins I picked up a couple of their 50 cal metal ammo cans a few years back. Did the whole test for leaking by submerging them in a bath tub, beating the crap out of them etc. They hold up really well and stay dry.
I literally just found out they opened up a Harbor Freight in my city less than a mile down the road from my job... I knew I was missing out but I didn't know I was missing out THIS much! Thanks for the video, doing the Lord's work out here. EZ subscribe! 🙏
Harbor Freight batteries actually came out 2nd in a test where a load was put on different brands of 2032s. Just behind duracell. I buy harbor freight batteries exclusively.
If u do buy the Bauer rotary tool I recommend the corded one. The cordless one likes to cut out at higher load so you have to work slow. Costs more too, but ig it's convenient
Outstanding! I literally have purchased 80% of the items you just presented in this video and will likely get a few more of them in the future. Great endorsement, even if the store "clerk" doesn't understand free marketing. Well done, man!
@@donaldoehl7690 Idk what you've bought but $20 air hammers going forever no oil and earthquake impact wrenches too, all across shops I've been in. Only seen 1 broken HF air tool, never oiled and it would've been fine but the cheap ass stealership shop didn't change the water filter in the air compressor, so it was rusted on the interior. The rust made the vanes on the turbine seize, other than that it was fine too Also it had sat, it was left behind. Used daily probably wouldn't have locked up
I bought those super cheap earmuffs. They were very ineffective until I modded them. I took them apart and put some really good high density foam inside and used some liquid rubber. I already had the stuff laying around so it didn't cost me anything and they work really well now. The knockoff pelican cases are very solid. I have a small one and a larger one. I've got coupons for the cheap little ammo boxes and got them for like $3 each. You can use one coupon for a bunch of the ammo boxes. Make sure that the rubber o-ring is in place correctly and it helps to glue it in place so it stays put. Every time you get something that has those silica packs in it throw them into the ammo boxes.
Great advice. We think alike. I went there a few years ago for cheap do-dads and came across the ammo cans. I walked out with alot of inexpensive shit that is still being used today. If you're starting out working on your own guns or machines, mistakes happen and stuff breaks. No loss with the cheaper tools.
The plastic ammo cans and the "dri box" with the removable tray are great. The dri box is great for cleaning kit components. Also I have one of the HF wooden machinist tool boxes which is great for keeping gunsmithing tools like punch sets, pics hex bits and things like magnetic levels or torque drivers, trigger pull gauges and so forth in.
The yellow ones make color less apparent, but accentuate any movement in your field of vision. that color also increases you time of vision in predawn or post sunset times. I know truck drivers who use them at low light times of day to make movement and objects more visible.
Ive had 4 for several years. $39 if i remember correctly and 15 for the 2 small ones. I keep a digital camera in one on patrol and my garmen in the other
I love your videos. Harbor Freight has some great values for perfectly good accessories. They should sponsor you not ask you to leave. I went there after I saw a video you made. You neglected to mention the loctite. It's $2.50 for blue or red, but they call it permanent (red) and the preferred semi permanent (blue). Half what it costs in the Big hardware store. Also tape is useful. Great job. The scissors at 99 cents is a great value too.
I use the clam shell gun safe for my CCW in my car and for flying. I purchased and used the punch set to do work on my M1A. Pics are good for the price. The plastic ammo cans are good for the price but can have a poor seal if stacked or pushed together.
There plastic ones also have weak handles. I found I cannot fill them with rolled coins, loose pistol rounds or lead ingots, because the handles break. The Flambeau ones are much better made.
I grabbed one of those big apache 9800 cases on black friday for $100 and a few of the metal ammo cans for $10, definitely some pretty solid stuff for the price.
The only problem with Apache cases is that pick apart foam. It comes apart into 1/2" cubes after a couple of months. Other than that they are strong and the weather seal works well.
Step 1 - Come to Big Dick Ballistics Step 2 - Complain about the language Find the anomaly in that. Keep up the good work. Do not censor yourself. Ever.
Finally someone that thinks like me. Save on gear at harbor freight and use the $$ on more firearms. It just makes sense. But you are probably pissing off NRA.
You walked right past the auto mechanics long reach clamps! Those things are great! Even when you're not doing gun related stuff. I have pulled obstructions out of drains, garbage disposals, a kids tooth once, endless uses!
I use that bag as a range bag as well. Cleaning kits, ammo, hearing/ear protection and whatever pistols I’m taking all go in. Makes a world of a difference grabbing a bag that’s pre-kitted than trying to remember everything then get to the range and realize you’ve forgotten ammo. This system is undefeated. Get back from range day and replace anything that needs it and throw the bag in the corner until next time.
I'm a cheap bastard. I've used a 15 year old HF muffs with some 3m plugs from home depot. The muffs are pretty low pro. Worked fine for 556 and 308. I dont see them at HF anymore.
Tidbit on hf ammo cans. There better built than Walmart steel ammo cans. For while I only bought the Walmart cans cause they were $4 cheaper than hf. I bought a hf ammo can and popped it open and immediately saw a quality difference especially with the lid hinges and lid gasket. Walmart cans gasket was rolled and wouldn't lay down flat or locked in like the hf ammo cans seals are. If your going for cheap but super quality ammo cans go for the hf cans. I own 16 cans total so far, yes fully loaded with magic boom jelly beans. The house I live in is old and has temp swing in it like mother nature with bpd on a bad day. Everytime I pop open a can it has that nice air suction sound like a fresh ammo crate opening.
I've been a deputy/ officer for 31 years! I don't work the street any more but i still carry a lot of the stuff you named in my unit ! I have the Hardy gloves( mechanic,leather work, welding) , the cloth tool bags, the flashlights( I have rechargeable but like to have a couple for battery back up), ammo cans, 4 pound sledge, bolt cutters and pry bar! I enjoyed your our video it was very informative!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Over the years I've bought almost all of this stuff. I still have a lot of it. I built an AR pistol kit using an Apache case. Lower with 7.5 inch 5.56, 300 Blk and 7.62x39 uppers, all in a handy case. They used to have a hydraulic press that was useful for bending AK flat receiver plates. All the tools for milling 80% AR receivers, I got there. It wasn't as well built as the expensive tools, but it worked, and was cheap enough to replace when needed.
I’d recommend anyone new to building to buy from hf. There’s nothing worse than getting all the top of the line stuff when getting into a hobby then finding out you actually don’t enjoy it as much as you thought you would and being stuck with a pile of expensive memorabilia. And the best part is it’s a lot of the cheaper stuff that still work if you decide to continue so you’ll only have to upgrade a few things
When you trust your hearing protection to harbor freight you deserve what you get. I said WHEN YOU TRUST YOUR HEARING PROTECTION TO HARBOR FREIGHT YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET!
Big D, I like your video. I have purchased several of the items you featured. That magnetic parts dish, for example is just one of those things that once you have one or more, you’ll ask yourself why you never got one sooner. I have bought some of the cooler looking ($3.99) safety glasses. I should check the ratings. Never paid attention to the ear pro, but…. I recently started teaching CCHL classes and will say that Harbor Freight Gun storage products are going to appeal to a lot more people who live pay check to pay check but still want to be part of the 2A community not to mention have the ability to defend themselves and family from the garbage the world is currently dragging in. Not to mention my own bottom line. So I appreciate your video and certainly hope that the revenues at the store where you were filming increase and the manager who kicked you out (and area manager) is aware that Big D sent ‘em.
@donaldoehl7690 in my experience the magnetism that happens to the small parts and tools isn’t an issue unless you’re dealing with something electronic.
just to add to... Z87 is a rating given for safety glasses. its called the drop ball test, they take the lens and drop a bearing through a pipe on it from about 5ft if the lens doesnt break its Z87 rated. If you want to step it up try and find some that are thicker polycarb lenses, ive seen them stop 22 rds. Im a retired ABOC certified Optician is why I know these things. But yeah the thicher the better for polycarb lenses, its the same stuff in a lot of bullet proof glass
They have all the tools you need to build/mill an ar lower or p80 Glock. Tools to stipple your pistol grips, punch sets,mallets,vices,all kinds of fun shit. Drones for moving target practice.
Yep he didn’t get a chance to dive deeper into the electronic stuff like dremels, engravers, heat guns, soldering irons etc. but it’s a lot more there for sure
Honestly one person can’t do this video. He just gave us like a starter kit but it’s way more he didn’t even get a chance to get into so do your video as a part 2 to his so to speak. Just pick up where he left off
Well, that manager is not a good manager , boss man, better think twice on who they hire lots of money there lost by kicking you out . because you just reached out and advertised for harbor freight to thousands of humans which brings revenue to Harbor freight., thanks buddy , 🤙
I support the police and thank you for what you do every day. That said I can't imagine why the manager would kick you out. I would rather thing she be thankful for the free advertisement. I should get some of those ammo cans. I have all my 9mm, 22lr, and 20 gauge crammed into my small gun safe and it's getting pretty full
Ty much sir. I should have asked permission first. Not a big deal. I was being kind of loud. It’s good to have your ammo stored separate from your boom sticks to maximize storage and in the event you get burglarized you don’t get your bangs taken with the ammo. That’s just my 2 cents.
I work HVAC and half my tools are free Harbor freight cause they work and if I break or loose a tool ? I just go get another cheap set at Harbor freight instead of being outta hundreds im only out of $30 . Can't loose shopping there.
The pick set is really god and universally handy. I always leave with a parts tray and pick set. I'm thinking about getting the smaller of the two shot polishers they sell. Still waiting for a store in San Mateo County so I don't have to cross a bridge to visit a store.
Just had a HF open about 4 miles away...and conveniently located near Tractor Supply (another great place to find good stuff at good prices).....Ill be going to the HF Soon ! thanks !
The best oart about HF is rhe "discounts". Never pay full price. I sont even shoo there often, but the weekly flyers always have deep discounts. And you can get additional subscriber coupons. I got that large rifle case on sale for $99. The small one was $16.99. The large metal ammo cans for $11.99 ea. Thiae were all flyer deals. Slap an extra 10-20% coupon on those of the stars align and its even better.
Great video! I wasn't aware that Harbor Freight sold firearm accessories. Funny part is, early in the video I was wondering if you cleared recording in the store with management- but uh oh. lol
It's a business that has their own cameras recording you and they are open to the public so there is no expectation of privacy. Funny that he had been walking around the store for how long and nobody said anything to him but when he gets to the front of the store they give him hassle.
@@bigdickballistics Picked up the ammo can and a pair of glasses too lol. The glasses weren't big enough to fit over my regular glasses, but the set of ears worked great! I have some range footage on my latest shorts of some 3D printed guns I finally go to fire when I went to the range.
Good info but language is unnecessary ! I get it I struggle with it myself ! Hope you do better on next video !

Can't beat em for the price. I got a harbor freight one block from.my house
Tried to thumbs up more than once. Apparently that's not an option. Awesome video
Ty!!!!!
Step 1 - Come to Big Dick Ballistics
Step 2 - Complain about the language
Find the anomaly in that.
Keep up the good work. Do not censor yourself. Ever.
Ty much! 🫡🇺🇸
Don't forget the cheap-ass spring clamps for quick attachment of targets.
Good one brother totally overlooked that, I have a dozen and use them often!🤙🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
Never trust electronic locks on safes. Ask anyone who had a Liberty Safe.
"You dont want hand cancer" 😂 No sir I do not want hand cancer.
👍🏻
Finally someone that thinks like me. Save on gear at harbor freight and use the $$ on more firearms.
It just makes sense.
But you are probably pissing off NRA.
Excellent video. I got some of my stuff at HF. My tool box, range bag and gun/mag box is a 3 piece RIGID stack-able tool caddy from Home Depot.
Have you seen the new flex brand at Lowe’s? Kinda pricey but pretty cool. But I’ll be honest, I’m a Ridgid fan too
It's pronounced Nine not "Noine".
You walked right past the auto mechanics long reach clamps! Those things are great! Even when you're not doing gun related stuff. I have pulled obstructions out of drains, garbage disposals, a kids tooth once, endless uses!
Their amp cans are great. I use them for ammo storage, cleaning kits and the tactical one for building tools
🤙🏻
I get their metal ammo cans. Also, got their rolling tool bag as my range bag. Pack everything up and roll it around. Makes going to the range easy.
Awesome!
I use that bag as a range bag as well. Cleaning kits, ammo, hearing/ear protection and whatever pistols I’m taking all go in. Makes a world of a difference grabbing a bag that’s pre-kitted than trying to remember everything then get to the range and realize you’ve forgotten ammo. This system is undefeated. Get back from range day and replace anything that needs it and throw the bag in the corner until next time.
Big D comments had me cracking up, not your average tool video haha you just got another sub
🤙🏻🇺🇸🤙🏻
Thanks, Enjoyed the info and humor. Been a HF customer for decades..
I'm a cheap bastard. I've used a 15 year old HF muffs with some 3m plugs from home depot. The muffs are pretty low pro. Worked fine for 556 and 308. I dont see them at HF anymore.
HF club membership comes with plenty of discounts/coupons.
I actually bought some of their ammo cans ad cleaning brushes. Place is great for everything else too.
100%!
Tidbit on hf ammo cans. There better built than Walmart steel ammo cans. For while I only bought the Walmart cans cause they were $4 cheaper than hf. I bought a hf ammo can and popped it open and immediately saw a quality difference especially with the lid hinges and lid gasket. Walmart cans gasket was rolled and wouldn't lay down flat or locked in like the hf ammo cans seals are. If your going for cheap but super quality ammo cans go for the hf cans. I own 16 cans total so far, yes fully loaded with magic boom jelly beans. The house I live in is old and has temp swing in it like mother nature with bpd on a bad day. Everytime I pop open a can it has that nice air suction sound like a fresh ammo crate opening.
I've been a deputy/ officer for 31 years! I don't work the street any more but i still carry a lot of the stuff you named in my unit ! I have the Hardy gloves( mechanic,leather work, welding) , the cloth tool bags, the flashlights( I have rechargeable but like to have a couple for battery back up), ammo cans, 4 pound sledge, bolt cutters and pry bar! I enjoyed your our video it was very informative!
Ty much brother! Stay safe!
This was a funny one,new sub here man,and I dropped a like!!! 👊👊👊👊
Ty much!🤙🏻🤙🏻
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Over the years I've bought almost all of this stuff. I still have a lot of it.
I built an AR pistol kit using an Apache case. Lower with 7.5 inch 5.56, 300 Blk and 7.62x39 uppers, all in a handy case. They used to have a hydraulic press that was useful for bending AK flat receiver plates. All the tools for milling 80% AR receivers, I got there. It wasn't as well built as the expensive tools, but it worked, and was cheap enough to replace when needed.
I’d recommend anyone new to building to buy from hf. There’s nothing worse than getting all the top of the line stuff when getting into a hobby then finding out you actually don’t enjoy it as much as you thought you would and being stuck with a pile of expensive memorabilia. And the best part is it’s a lot of the cheaper stuff that still work if you decide to continue so you’ll only have to upgrade a few things
3:17 amen to that one brother
🤙🏻
Can’t believe you promote harbor freight then they kick you out and slap an add for themselves on your video 😂
When you trust your hearing protection to harbor freight you deserve what you get.
I said WHEN YOU TRUST YOUR HEARING PROTECTION TO HARBOR FREIGHT YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET!
STOP YELLING AT ME DAD!
Hf sells 3m as well as other big brands 😂
I bought case tumblers and ultrasonic cleaners for my reloading.
I can’t believe I overlooked that! Yep I get my media there as well!
@@bigdickballistics
They kicked you out before you got to that aisle. Understandable . 😁
The rock tumbler makes a great ball mill, also. I use it with 14mm florists marbles from dollar tree.
just remember you get what you pay for....
You’re 100% right, for new shooters on a budget or cheap fucks this is a start, just one way of many!
Po' folks have guns, too.
They also had some legit work benches too for around $150-$250
I have been lubing all my firearms with Vaseline since 2006.
Walmart / 20z for $5
Big D, I like your video. I have purchased several of the items you featured. That magnetic parts dish, for example is just one of those things that once you have one or more, you’ll ask yourself why you never got one sooner. I have bought some of the cooler looking ($3.99) safety glasses. I should check the ratings. Never paid attention to the ear pro, but…. I recently started teaching CCHL classes and will say that Harbor Freight Gun storage products are going to appeal to a lot more people who live pay check to pay check but still want to be part of the 2A community not to mention have the ability to defend themselves and family from the garbage the world is currently dragging in. Not to mention my own bottom line. So I appreciate your video and certainly hope that the revenues at the store where you were filming increase and the manager who kicked you out (and area manager) is aware that Big D sent ‘em.
Ty! No worries I’ve been back there and no issues! Keep up the good work preserving the 2nd amendment!
Magnetic trays can magnetize parts & tools.
@donaldoehl7690 in my experience the magnetism that happens to the small parts and tools isn’t an issue unless you’re dealing with something electronic.
just to add to...
Z87 is a rating given for safety glasses. its called the drop ball test, they take the lens and drop a bearing through a pipe on it from about 5ft if the lens doesnt break its Z87 rated.
If you want to step it up try and find some that are thicker polycarb lenses, ive seen them stop 22 rds. Im a retired ABOC certified Optician is why I know these things. But yeah the thicher the better for polycarb lenses, its the same stuff in a lot of bullet proof glass
They have all the tools you need to build/mill an ar lower or p80 Glock. Tools to stipple your pistol grips, punch sets,mallets,vices,all kinds of fun shit. Drones for moving target practice.
Yep he didn’t get a chance to dive deeper into the electronic stuff like dremels, engravers, heat guns, soldering irons etc. but it’s a lot more there for sure
They also have a good knockoff FAT wrench. It's almost as much as the original, though. I think it's$80.
Their cheapo drill press does great on ÀR lowers
Get your gun accessories at harbor freight if you don't care about long term results.
Cheap tools can be useful but only when they are actually useful.
Sometimes you can only live in the moment
Lol, I have been planning a Harbor freight shopping video for gun stuff…….you beat me to it!
Great minds think alike! Do it either way!
Honestly one person can’t do this video. He just gave us like a starter kit but it’s way more he didn’t even get a chance to get into so do your video as a part 2 to his so to speak. Just pick up where he left off
good Video , Good ole Long Island Lingo . That's how we Talk, a lot of cry babies on here. Subscribed
Strong island ✊🏻
You would think that they would love the free publicity and give you a discount instead of kicking you out.
I’ve gone back multiple times already and they totally forgot who I was haha
@@bigdickballisticsDeep down she wanted you to
lol it’s never the owner always someone who acts like they own it that kicks people out
The middle finger to the $16.99 metal ammo can 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Guys you don’t need a metal can.
Well, that manager is not a good manager , boss man, better think twice on who they hire lots of money there lost by kicking you out . because you just reached out and advertised for harbor freight to thousands of humans which brings revenue to Harbor freight., thanks buddy , 🤙
Not breaking a sweat, Ty for the ❤️
It’s about time someone in LI has a gun information channel. I’m from Wantagh buddy good work.
Ty much!
“Taking a friend to the range for the first time that’s a cheap mfer”……that was hilarious.
Bro you're funny @ss sh!t!!! loved this video and I'm subscribed and locked in... 🔥🔥🔥
Love the humor man! Subscribed!
I bought that same set of 4 picks for $1200.. They're Snap-On.
Seems a little speedy. You could have gotten them for $1000.00 if you shopped!😅😂
This is excellent info. And, the best part is that you don't ramble on and on. You go straight into the interesting info. Thank you sir.
Ty much!
I support the police and thank you for what you do every day. That said I can't imagine why the manager would kick you out. I would rather thing she be thankful for the free advertisement. I should get some of those ammo cans. I have all my 9mm, 22lr, and 20 gauge crammed into my small gun safe and it's getting pretty full
Ty much sir. I should have asked permission first. Not a big deal. I was being kind of loud. It’s good to have your ammo stored separate from your boom sticks to maximize storage and in the event you get burglarized you don’t get your bangs taken with the ammo. That’s just my 2 cents.
you forgot about the rock tumbler and ultrasonic cleaner !!!
I work HVAC and half my tools are free Harbor freight cause they work and if I break or loose a tool ? I just go get another cheap set at Harbor freight instead of being outta hundreds im only out of $30 . Can't loose shopping there.
The pick set is really god and universally handy. I always leave with a parts tray and pick set. I'm thinking about getting the smaller of the two shot polishers they sell. Still waiting for a store in San Mateo County so I don't have to cross a bridge to visit a store.
also the 50cal cans can be bought for $12 when on sale. i pick up surplus ones when i can but most of the time can beat harbor freight cans
Just had a HF open about 4 miles away...and conveniently located near Tractor Supply (another great place to find good stuff at good prices).....Ill be going to the HF Soon ! thanks !
I got a Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply and a Rural King near me! Every time I leave the house the wife looks at me suspiciously 😆
Lol, that 12 inch comment caught me off guard.
🍆🍆🍆
Those cases are great! The pistol cases and the rifle boxes are great!
I love this, thanks for the update. Subscribe now
RESPECT!
FIRST VIDEO EVER,
GOOD SHIT. IM SUBBED NOW!
The best oart about HF is rhe "discounts". Never pay full price. I sont even shoo there often, but the weekly flyers always have deep discounts. And you can get additional subscriber coupons. I got that large rifle case on sale for $99. The small one was $16.99. The large metal ammo cans for $11.99 ea. Thiae were all flyer deals. Slap an extra 10-20% coupon on those of the stars align and its even better.
Bruh… I just subbed because of the name of your channel. 🤣💀
💯🇺🇸🍆
Thank you for enlisting in the big dick battalion!
@@bigdickballistics amen to that brother!
Fuckin BDB first time here so I SUBBED your channel. Thanks for the info.
Great video! I wasn't aware that Harbor Freight sold firearm accessories.
Funny part is, early in the video I was wondering if you cleared recording in the store with management- but uh oh. lol
I don't know why they would mind him filming in there. But people get weird when cameras come out.
It's a business that has their own cameras recording you and they are open to the public so there is no expectation of privacy. Funny that he had been walking around the store for how long and nobody said anything to him but when he gets to the front of the store they give him hassle.
I bought 35 sets of those picks for every operator in my department. They are the most valuable piece of kit we have at work
🤣
I bought the spotting scope. Save your money, binos are better.
0:50 😂 I had to subscribe 😂😂
🤙🏻
LAX Ammunition gives the ammo box with 500 rds.
I have that Union safe from HF. I absolutely love it. I’m going to start getting the tools I need from here on out from Harbor Freight
Right on
FIX BAYONETS 6:55 "Eyepro is as important"
5:46 I came back here to say I just picked up the Ranger ear muffs today during my lunch break! Thanks again for making this!
No prob!
@@bigdickballistics Picked up the ammo can and a pair of glasses too lol. The glasses weren't big enough to fit over my regular glasses, but the set of ears worked great! I have some range footage on my latest shorts of some 3D printed guns I finally go to fire when I went to the range.
I forgot the red dot batteries! Oh no I guess I’ll have to go back.
