I needed some fresh hand tools and small weighted items for the kids as we have our Pinewood Derby coming up, and Harbor Freight is the best bang for the buck! The service was good, I sent them to the back twice to find some items, but both times they came back with what I needed. Look, you know what you're getting into - it's typically not forever tools, but for the average hobbyist their tools are more than enough. :) read more

Harbor Freight Tools - Hardware Stores Near Me - Buena Park, California

I went there to see if they had gloves. The ones that had the lights in the fingertips. They were helpful with directing me to the area of gloves. Everybody I came across, was very friendly and asked if I needed help. I continue to look around the store. I found an extension cord I was looking for me. I got a bag to put tools in maybe somebody I crossed past might need something like this for Christmas. I like the fact that the store was very clean and organized. I also like that the staff members knew their merchandise. Definitely saw a lot of deals, but of course I can't afford everything these days. But I did have a good experience visiting the store read more

I go to a bunch of Harbor Freight and the people at the Costa Mesa know me by first name bases. You just gotta love having the ITC membership and the perks that come with it. Great value and even better selection to get you started in whatever task you desire! The cashier Jericho (homegirl idk how to spell her name rofl) was zooming through people and making magic happen. Alerting people of the sale and saving people some money, so she's a real one that cares for the people. Respect ! *wicked* got a greeting as I walked in the store and friendly adios as I left. She needs a raise management because she's killing it read more

Harbor Freight Tools - What a great day! Smooth and easy - Hardware Stores Near Me - Buena Park, California

I have been going to Harbor Tools for years. I own several businesses and we use most of their tools. For the second time I went into the store located at 8998 Knox Avenue, Buena Park, California and I was greeted by this associate, a most professional, ethical person. (I think her name is Jericho or Jeridon, not sure how it's spelled). Forgive me for the mispronunciation. But this person deserves to be based on what I observed at the store. Her dealing with other customers deserves to be CEO of that company. Unbelievable. What a person. I have several businesses and she is most welcome to run one of my shops based on what I witnessed. She's a gold mind for a business. Five stars all the way. Thank you Harbor Tools for hiring such a personal. read more

This was the first location I stopped at to find a platform cart with handle. Unfortunately they did not have the item. The man at the register (Ricardo) very wisely offered to check other stores for the cart. The closest one with it was in Lakewood. He even called the store from his personal cell phone to have the cart held for me. I purchased an anti fatigue rubber mat and roll of painters tape, both items cost me under $16. Many hand and power tools, dolly and hand trucks, tool storage systems, tarps, lighting for working in tight spots. The place for those DIY Project tools when you don't want to spend a lot of money. I may have been the only female in the store! read more

I needed some essentials for an upcoming move. And decided to drop in to Harbor Freight to grab some things. I was looking for those floor dolly's that help you move heavy items. And they had lots of them in store! They had bigger ones and smaller ones too. I grabbed two of the smaller ones. And I also needed some tarps to wrap things that I don't want to break. I found two tarps and added those to my cart. Score! Found all the things I needed! :) read more

This where I get most of my tools to work on my car. Jericho is a rare star that truly cares about customer experience. It's just a part of who she is. Thankful for her cheerful service always. read more

grade S service, helped me with everything i needed and patricia was so kind as to make sure i left the store with everything i was looking for and did a thorough stock check even after being under the impression that an item wasn't available though it was misplaced in their stock. Alondra working the front counter had even given me a call because at the moment i had left the store to go to the next HF but she gave me a call informing me they found it before i had left the parking lot, definitely some of the best hospitality i've seen a business has to offer, definite props to Alondra and Patricia as well to the rest of the team working the morning of November 24 read more

Just had the greatest return experience at Harbor Freight. I purchased a hedge trimmer last spring with the warranty. It worked great, and I trimmed some bushes. Put it back in the box. Put on shelf sat there a year, today I plug it in and it did not work. Took it back, no. receipt, cashier looked it up. He let me know that it was on sale for 5 dollars cheaper, so I actually got a 5 dollar credit to buy another 2 year warranty. read more

Great place to get tools for my workshop. It seems bigger in the inside and they have a fantastic selection/inventory (I.e. tool chests) compared to some of its smaller locations. The staff quite knowledgeable and will assist as possible. Don't miss out on the clearance section, because you can find a lot of goodies there too. Come prepared and bring coupons for a good deal! read more

Service was horrible especially the manager.They shouldn't be working there if they aren't able to help costumers out with the products

Oh I love me some Harbor freight tools! One time I was hired to make order of a sound room . At a bar lounge place that does events. You could make a system of organization no problem. The real challenge is getting everybody to follow it. I got everything I needed at Harbor freight. I love going in there. My friend sent me the ad that had the electric flyswatter's. I think about it all the time I'm an animal lover , but I can't stand flies ! I have like super sonic hearing and they really bothers me. Plus I don't appreciate things throwing up on my food. Does it make up that I leave plates of water outside for the bees because I love them . Starting to feel really guilty about this purchase. Straight lipped emoji face . Still my favorite store. Five star Harbor freight tools all the way! read more

Every time I go here, I get irritated by something new. Yesterday was the last time I'll visit here, and now I'm going to say something. The female who was working the register around lunch time could not care less about the customers. She had a man at her register who was taking a long time to check out, lots of questions, etc. Instead of calling for a backup cashier right away, she was fine with watching the line of people waiting to pay getting longer and longer. When her customer stepped away to go get a SKU number, she just turned away and did something else while she waited for him to return. And the line got even longer. I watched one frustrated person in line just set their items on the shelf and leave. After several more minutes, she did call for another cashier. Eventually, I was helped by a pleasant young man, bought my stuff, and got out of there. But I didn't appreciate that annoying waste of my lunchtime. I hope someone talks to her and sets her straight on what is important in retail. read more

They give you a coupon to hook you up but end- up you lose more what you get a coupon from them, please be careful what you pay for and you get what you pay for. read more

The employees there acted like I barely existed. They were too busy chatting it up with Mike, who is apparently one of their regulars, to even face my direction. Just really bad service read more

This is a typical Harbor Freight Tools which is a good thing. This location is as bright and clean as any other. The staff is friendly enough without being pushy or overly helpful. If you have never been to a Harbor Freight they have good quality tools at very reasonable prices. This is not a huge location but I was satisfied with this visit and I will come back again when I need something in the future. read more

I have passed this Harbor Freight many times going to La Michoacana right next door never looking in its direction. So what a surprise it was when my employer instructed me to pick up a few items from this location that I never knew existed. Once inside this place was busy with 3 workers manning the place. They all were friendly and worked efficiently. However, Jose was awesome I needed to pick up something from the back of the store and the whole process went so smoothly. If I wasn't working and buying something for myself I'd probably would have tipped. So I hope y'all suffice with a good review. read more

So happy they opened one by me! New facility well organized and staff are super friendly! Jose is great and treats you not like a customer but family! They've earned my business and I'll continue coming here for all my tool needs! read more

I only live .5 miles from the place. So I thought I could use my e-bike. Got there in just 4,5 min. To make this short , there is no place to secure my e-bike. So I went inside to ask if I can just park it inside. The people at the cashier's desk acted like I had a bomb or something and told me I can't take it inside. The two girls were rude. I will get their names next time I go there.. maybe posting it would teach them some manners. read more

I shop at Harbor freight s all over California and this one has to have the fastest checkout of all that I have been to.

So slow. Employees need training. They could make more money if the cash register workers were more proficient.

Been going there for a few months. Some things are okay and some are very cheaply made. You have to be aware of what you buy. I am on my third biker style rolling stool. the wheels are cheap and the threads that hold them to the legs are not well made. So far the store has exchanged the seats, but not sure they will again if this seat does not hold up. I would not buy this stool again. This seat is made in China and is typical of a product from China.......cheaply made. Other things I have bought there are holding up okay. One other thing I should probably mention. The staff there is very friendly, but they don't seem to have a lot of product knowledge. read more

it was my first time visiting this store to purchase a beginner to intermediate drill and drill bits and mike the store manager was there to help me almost as soon as i came in to guide me and explain with patience. thank you read more

Rude racist cashier . I Was waiting in line behind register 4, When the cashier finished with his current customer I walked to the front. I said hello to the cashier he ignores me. He then proceeds to tell me there's another customer before me. So I say "oh ok" me thinking I must have not seen the other guy, so I walked back to where I was standing. Then the cashier calls over a white customer from the other side of the store. this customer was behind line 8 and attends him before me. This man was at another register. Maybe like 3 or 4 registers away from the one I was on. This was a very uncomfortable thing. I guess this is how it is when you're brown and standing in line at Harbor Freight tools, they're gonna skip you for white customers. If you're brown or black you might be in for a little wait. Needless to say I'm never shopping at harbor freight again I'll take my business elsewhere. read more
