    Hft

    Harbor Freight Tools is a discount tool store in Federal Way. You can find anything from saws to mole chasers to French fry slicer machines. The inside of the store is clean, the outside had a lot to be desired, from paint to the parking lot. If you want some history, this was originally The Good Guys electronics store. Then it was the GenX Clothing Store. After GenX closed, it was a Halloween City seasonal store, before shortly after becoming HFT. Harbor Freight is mostly filled with cheap Chinese tools- "You get what you pay for" has never been more true. This store might be fine for smaller tools, but I'd avoid buying any machinery here. Batteries Plus Bulbs is located across from the main entrance in the Federal Way Plaza strip mall. BPB sells car batteries, light bulbs, and can repair your phone, stuff that HFT can't do. HFT has a prime location in Federal Way, on the large S320th St/Pacific Hwy S intersection, near The Commons Mall. Pros: * Large, Clean Store * Convenient Location * Restrooms Cons: * Cheap, Low-Quality Tools * Poor Quality Parking Lot * Poor Store Appearance (Paint, Landscaping)

    Cheap cheap china crap. Low prices but only expect to use it once or twice. After that it's trash.

    Horrible service, worst selection of parts in the area. Tired of wasting my time in here. Go to Tacoma instead.

    Work experience with their evening staff. Especially the shift manager. Won't be using Harbor Freight again.

    This place is great! Lots of cool stuff. I'm a kid in a candy store. Good staff and better than Sears.

    It had been a few years since we visited THS and we heard that they redid the interior and possibly…read morechanged management, so we decided to give it another chance. The cocktails all seem to be named after nautical terms, likely a nod to their island locale. I got the Buoy, which was a tequila-based cocktail with blackberry, Campari, and rosemary. It was quite refreshing. We split the smoked salmon chips and dip, because we both love smoked salmon and Old Bay. This was tasty, but I think a cream cheese dip requires a chip that's sturdier than a potato chip. I ordered the seared ahi and my spouse ordered the burger. We both enjoyed the seared ahi, though I wish it had more of the whipped tahini and harissa. We agreed that the burger was solid, but not the best restaurant burger we've had. We finished with the key lime pie and pot de crème. Recommend both (though maybe avoid the pot de crème if you don't like coffee)!

    The Hardware Store keeps getting better. The refreshed space and menu feel perfect--modern but…read morestill cozy in that classic Vashon way. Food was outstanding, hands down the best around. Every dish was spot-on, fresh, and full of flavor. Rosie was our server and she was awesome--super friendly and on top of everything. Even got to say hi to the chef, which was a nice touch. If you haven't been in a while, go now. We'll definitely be back soon. 5 stars!

    Went to Lowe's Federal Way to get a couple things needed today, including a router bit. Found…read moreeverything but the bit. Now comes that bad part. I asked 3 employees (3!) Where I could find them. 1 person sent me to gate hardware (huh?). Another person sent me to the computer cable section (a router that takes a bit is a power tool, not an internet connection device). The third didn't even know what a router bit is, and sent me to an aisle that doesn't even exist. So I want to know how low this place has gotten that nobody seems to know what a ROUTER is!?!?!? Do better, Lowes. I could have gone a few minutes more to McClendon's.

    I would give this business a zero but you can't write a review. The manager Robert is a lying…read moreexcrament. He talked to me weeks ago saying that he would arrange for a credit to help compensate me for them not delivering on the day they promised. They did not even call me and decided to deliver the following week I had a crew waiting got the delivery and because I was not called I had to pay for their time. I was promised a credit and Robert told me to call him if I had any problems. When I called he conveniently say I did not write any notes and don't remember your problem. Even though we talked for a hour. The man has no honor and if he worked for me he would be fired. Don't TRUST LOWES for anything. They give you the run around send you to multiple people. Then when they don't want to talk you get transferred to their survey to say how good they are doing. Worst Company and that manager is SLIM and a man with No dignity or backbone.
