I have been known to visit Harbor Freight often. I graze up and down the aisle. I know Harbor Freight is not like Craftsman or the big names, but it works for me and my projects.
Anyway, Today was one of their parking lot sales. I went to buy a simple soft plastic cover for the jaws of my vice.
As usual I found a lot more stuff.
To get to the point. They had a large portable generator that was marked down so low that I just could not walk away.
Now the silly part is that I just gave a smaller 4KW generator away last month. I really have no use for this generator except to put it in my give away pile or use it if the "Big One" hits the west coast.
I guess I should reveal the details of why i could not pass it up. The same generator on the floor in the box was $599. The store manager sold me this one for $200. I went ahead and got a wheel conversion set and a battery, (it is battery start instead of a pull cord). Even with the extras it was under $300.
The back story is that a local contractor bought it, used it for a few hours and then returned it. I cannot believe that but I guess it happens.
The first person with a good story about why they need it can PM or email me. If I still have it in the fall when the boondockers get back I will go find a deserving person to give it to.
