My husband is out of town traveling for work. This week he is in Louisville, Kentucky. We spend many of our weekends when he is home making trips to Harbor Freight. It is one of his favorite stores. L O L So, of course, when he travels, he always looks for one in the area he is in. He found this one in Louisville and texted me immediately with a picture to show me how large it was! He said it's a good thing we don't live there because he would spend all his weekends in that store. The store is very well laid out and has a huge selection. It is larger and more spacious than many of the other Harbor Freight's we have been to. This makes the shopping experience much more enjoyable. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and always checked on him to see if he had any questions or needed help finding anything. If you are looking for specialty tools, or to replace your screwdriver set, this is the place to go! You'll find pretty much everything you need. read more

Harbor Freight Tools - The store is bright, and the aisles are wider than most! - Hardware Stores Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

This is the place to go for a tool that you need to use once or twice. Like a snap ring tool. The tools are inexpensive but they get the job done. This is where I get tarps. They are cheap and they do what I need them to do. The people working here no where everything is. Just ask them. Saves a lot of time hunting around. read more

For an older Harbor Freight in an older strip mall this place is pretty nice. I've been to this location several times and every time they have been busy. But they are always fully stocked, organized and clean. You name it, it's in there. I took a few pictures of stuff but that dosent even cover an 1/8 of what's inside. There are shopping carts at the entrance and I HIGHLY recommend you get one. I never do as I'm walking in and every time, I end up going and getting one after all. Through out the store are people restocking and I've found it useful to ask them where something is. Another useful thing I've found is a U-Tube channel called Den of Tools. It's a talking bear who keeps you up to date on Harbor Freight. Ads, sales, special items, good tools and even tools to shy away from. I normally don't promote U-Tube channels but this is a good one for this store or any Harbor Freight near you. read more

The "Payless" of tools! How is a tool store like a shoe store? It is all about price vs. quality. Harbor Freight's tools cost about 30-50% less than that of your Lowe's or Home Depot. While I understand that HF tools may not be of the same quality as that of your traditional tool store, but for a couple who are not mechanically inclined and have no desire to build a deck or re-shingle my roof, just how often do we want to use these tools? So a place like Harbor Freight is perfect for us. And that is not to say these tools are sub par or fall apart after a couple of uses. I'm just saying it is like comparing your Tevas to the Payless brand sandals: just how often do you want to hike across rough terrain and water features? One more HF benefit: the store is a very manageable size. I am still lost when I walk in here, but I can always find what I need quickly without walking aimlessly in the big box aisles. And my savings today: I found a tree saw/pruner combo for $25; Home Depot has a tree saw for $31 and a separate pruner for $40. I will enjoy using my HF tool 1 or 2 times a year. So if you need a tool and do not enjoy paying for a name brand, come check out HF first. read more

Harbor Freight has the unique ability to be a chain hardware store that feels like a local mom and pop place. I visited for the first time recently after seeing something in the ad that I needed. Also in the ad was a coupon for a free set of screwdrivers. I'm told that there is a different free item at different points throughout the year, little helpful tool stuff that is good to keep on hand. The store is tucked away in the back right corner of a shopping center. I had some trouble finding what I was looking for when I first walked in and tried to find it on my own, but the staff was very helpful once I asked them. I ended up grabbing a few more things than I had intended, but it was all useful stuff at a great price. I ended up making a second trip the same day after realizing that the coupon I had could be used on 7 items and not just the one I had purchased. I called the store to verify and returned with my receipt from earlier, which the employees honored for me to pick up 6 more. By my second trip the place was buzzing with a number of other people who were loading up on hardware and home improvement goodies, just like I was. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by sometime and see what all the buzz is about! read more

I'm a pretty well-trained DIYer. After spending 2 years remodeling my basement and other misc house improvement things with my Dad, I picked up a few skills. Plumbing, electrical, framing, concrete cutting/pouring, tiling, drywall, woodworking, ceilings and carpet.. you name it and I can tell you about it and (maybe) teach you to do it. But Yelp is not a dating site, so I'll move on. (But if it were; ladies -- I'm single and ready to mingle -PM me) When it comes to power tools and screwdrivers/wrench I'm a total brand snob (Ryobi and Craftsman/Husky). I think the extra money is well spent because the products are more powerful, more versatile and built to last. But -- the accessories are often expensive, and not worth the extra dough. So I buy the tools via Home Depot/Lowe's/Amazon (whoever has the better deal) but Harbor Freight is my go to for quality, no-name brand accessory things -- like grinding wheels, router bits, and saw blades. I also think they sell good quality tie-downs and anti-fatigue mats. Bonus -- if you sign up for their emails/mailing lists -- they (frequently) send coupons! This usually includes a 20% an item plus a small freebie (flashlight, screwdriver, batteries, magnetic tray). I wouldn't normally buy those items on their own -- but it's FREE. So I've got a nice collection of flashlights and often pass out the screwdrivers like party favors. Things about this store -- it's off Hikes Lane in the Buechel Neighborhood-- a half-mile-ish down Bardstown Rd away from the Highlands. The store is usually pretty active with shoppers -- and the check-out wait is usually 1-2 people deep. The store has always been well organized, consistently labeled with what's on sale, and they even have a table with the "freebies" close to the check out. Today's review was inspired by my cashier, Bria. She was sooo friendly and knowledgeable! I couldn't find a item and she quickly pointed me "Aisle 1; on the left". She helped me use all the possible coupon combinations for maximum savings and she wasn't annoyed to type in all the coupon codes or wait for me to search my emails for the savings. While assisting me she also greeted other folks, giving them directions to find items and had a great big smile on her face the entire interaction. I mentioned to the manager how awesome she was and her response was, "I know -- that's why I'm looking to promote her!" Yay! So -- go to HF for those accessories and freebies, and if you need help finding something, want to maximize your savings or just need a smile .. look for (future? ) Asst. Manager Bria. read more
