Harbor Freight — Local services in Bartow

Great place for picking up cheap tools. I wouldn’t recommend using any electrical multimeters from Harbor Freight or anything else that you are trusting your life with, but if you need an oddball tool that you don’t think you will use often enough to spend a lot of money on, then this is the place to find one at a good price. I also own a Jeep Wrangler that isn’t a mall crawler. I purchased the Apex 12000lb winch with the synthetic rope. You aren’t going to find a better winch at that price. Honestly their Badlands Apex winch is comparable to a Warn winch when comparing build quality. It is also one of the most aesthetically pleasing winches on the market. I have seen more expensive winches with less quality builds and more plastics. If you need a winch, the Badlands Apex winch is the only one you should have in your sights unless you like...

Been to MANY different stores... been very impressed lately with all the product upgrades... and lately purchased some very quality equipment from HF... would definitely recommend anyone that thinks Harbour Freight is still the same store as they were back in the day to re-visit. Much has been improved. Recently purchased the new Vulcan line Omni pro 220 and LOVE IT. As far as the Bartow store... it's my favorite. Always helpful.. no hassles.. clean.. good inventory. And they've always came thru. Staff...

For homeowner tools Harbor Freight is tough to beat. Although, their pricing has changed and gone up in recent years so it's still a good idea to comparison shop as the "big box" stores might surprise you. I recently purchased a 14" electric chain saw and a pole saw from here. Both worked great and I used them to cut down several cedar trees on my property that should've been gone years ago. Their fasteners for for my airtool nail guns (finish nails, staples, and brad nails) all work in my "other brand"...
