I will advise against buying drill bits from HF, as well as parachutes and that tiny little table saw that looks like all it could do is cut off a finger.
Harbor Freight will soon be in St. Mary's County

Yeah, the drill bits dull and break really easily.
Have to look for the parachutes....

I browsed through there an hour ago to check it out and it wasn’t too busy
I bit the bullet and renewed my Inside Track Club membership. I figure I'll wait a while for the newness to wear off before fighting the masses.

Are we putting odds down on the time it takes for someone to be caught walking out of the store with unpaid merchandise? I'll give it 2 weeks.

Just remember, not in one trip at midnight, and use cash.

Employee told me something was stolen on first day
We ought to start lopping off hands. That'll slow down the repeat offenders.

Busy, but not like I expected. But I thought today was Saturday...
Got what I needed, waiting for some other items to go on sale, which is pretty often. I had a 25% off coupon so got a $400 planer for $100 off.
Talked to one of the floor guys, mentioned I hadn't seen any store opening coupons, just the normal stuff. He said the opening this week was soft, and to look for store-specific coupons for the grand opening mid-September.

I'm undecided on getting a battery operated die grinder. They have a special going on. Buy a charger and 5ah battery for $119, get a free tool. I could get by with the AC model for $79. I have to clean up a hard to reach area on the block to seat the new water pump.

Let us know how the planer works for you. It's something I always wanted to get, but just never really did enough wood work to justify spending money on a good one.

You haven't taken a sledge hammer to it yet?

I never did either, but I need to replace the trim (doors, windows, floor...) in the entire upstairs and the newly refinished family room. Easier to have one handy rather than beg/borrow/contract.
No, but after seeing how large both grinders were, I chose neither and decided to take my chances with razor blades and sandpaper. We'll see how good of a job I did this PM when I refill and test it.

Went yesterday and bought a new compressor for my shop. I'll fire it up today and see how it goes. Probably the nicest HF I've ever been in. Greeted at the door by a knowledgeable young lady. She was able to help me out. Three guys rolled the compressor out and loaded it for me.

Yea, lots of extra help, all friendly. Thought I recognized one or two from the Waldorf store. Pretty sure the number of staff will drop after the opening.
The planer I got was kind of bulky and heavy, so they brought it out for me too. I had a cart with other things in it, so took that to the truck first. Didn't feel like walking the cart back, then back to the truck to drive to the front of the store for the pickup, so I threw the cart in the back of the truck. Pull up in front of the store and one of the guys gives me the evil eye, muttered something under his breath. Guess he didn't approve...
