At first glance I thought that was an AARP sticker on your box.

 

[PeoplesElbow]

I was going to say this too...
HF is great for more than just tools.

Cheapest place to buy Evaporust and I collect their wooden 3D puzzles.

Also use their old people stuff section for walkers, suction cup bath tub handles etc for my mom.

No body needs that many tools. Why . . . . . there outta be a law. Especially for those high capacity tools.

Surprised nobody notice the "high-powered air rifle" that guards my tool boxes.

It was camouflaged.

Why say anything? It's obviously missing its high-capacity magazine clip bump trigger.

Sometimes you gotta make a special too. HF stuff great for that.

Also, put a solar powered motion detecting light in the motorcycle shed like five years back. GReat for when I get back after dark.

I have two Diston saws I still use. I have to get them sharpened and set some day.

My grandfather worked for Diston in Philadelphia. He started out as a packer, but he worked his way into the office doing bookkeeping and finance. I am searching for Diston saws to give to my siblings. They are well made tools - at least the ones I have seen.

CALIFORNIA, Md. – Shasho Consulting, P.A. Commercial Real Estate announced on April 28, 2023, that Harbor Freight Tools is set to open a store in the Laurel Glen Shopping Center. The store will occupy a portion of the former Weis space located at 45315 Alton Lane.

Actually, they just have a blog where they post new businesses coming to the area. So, I'm not sure that they actually hand any hand in this, although since HF is renting the building, perhaps they handled the lease.

Harbor Freight has signed up to lease a portion of the former Weis space at the Laurel Glenn Shopping Center on Alton Lane in California, MD. No proposed opening date yet.

The information I provide is from sources I deem creditable. I make no warranty as to its accuracy as things are constantly changing. The opinions expressed on this page are mine only and do not represent anyone else.

But, he does have good info on his blog.

Thats awesome, even the newer ones that use plywood for the handles are good saws imho, but the hand saw snobs turn their noses up at them.

Yea, there are handsaw snobs that restore and collect Diston saws. The ones with the rosewood handles are the ones people want. I used mine to do a small rip cut in Ipe to fit around a pole when doing my deck. If you know anything about Ipe, its very very hard, called ironwood for a reason.

The new location is now on their website as Coming Soon. Looking to open the location by the end of August.

 

[Sneakers]

Good. Didn't want to drive all the way to Waldork just for a couple of multi-tool blades.

And 20HP Honda power washers.

It LOOKS like - TWO stores are going in, where the old Food Lion was. I mean, the exterior sure looks that way.

So - one Harbor Freight - what's the other?

Nail Salon, Liquor store, Chinese restaurant, or Mexican restaurant would be my giess

 

[Kyle]

Nail Salon-Liquor store-Chinese-Mexican restaurant-Gas Station Combination, would be my guess.

Can we get a combo? Getting the feet re-shod while eating tacos and sipping margaritas.
