"Oh yea baby!" was my reaction when I was shown that there is a Harbour Freight Tools in the Beaumont area. I've been working around here for about a year and a half and did not know such thing.
Welcome to the Walmart of the tools stores. Here is an excellent place to find those tools that are cheap in price as well as craftmanship but that is not a bad thing. Why get those kind of tools here do you ask? Well if you worked in the construction business you will most likely understand that you need those "cheap" tools to lend to your co workers that like to not give things back, you've lost only $5 and not $15, get it? Got it? Good!
There are lots of "gadget" tools that will keep you amazed and wondering why those were not invented earlier or why you have not seen them anywhere else. They have everything from those electronic fly swatters ($5 here, $12 at other places), your staple tools aka wrenches, sockets, screw drivers etc, varment traps, compressors, small electric hand tools, jewelry cleaners, wheels, welders and women.... yes, they shop here too.
Customer service is pretty much helpful and friendly. If they notice the lines getting backed up a quick intercom call will squash the situation in minutes via stand in's hustling from the back to man the other two cash registers.
Parking is plenty, it sits in the same parking lot as a pawn shop so if you can't find what you need over there, you should be able to find it here.
Note, if you ever see the word "Pittsburgh" on someone's tools, you pretty much know where they bought it.
If you are a married woman and want a place to drop off your man for a few hours while you do whatever you need to do.......well this is the place, he won't miss you while he's in here, just saying. read more
