    I love this place! It's like taking a trip in the Way Back machine. When you first walk in you witness an old school general store. All sorts of stuff for the house and stuff you never knew you needed for the house line the walls and shelves. Need a shovel? Got it. How abut some rat traps? Got it. Looking for a bear trap? they got that too. there's even a small area of military surplus clothing and gear if you want to outfit yourself for the impending zombie attack. You could get lost in the rows of stuff for hours checking out everything. To the right side of the building, you will be treated to a museum. Not one of those artsy fartsy nose in the air type museum, but one that looks like it should be on the side of a road in the middle of nowhere. Tons of local memorabilia and local Covington history fill this room. If you like American Pickers, you will become moist when walking into this area. Check out the pictures I posted for some examples. You can even check out the famous petrified rat. It's just to the left as you walk through the doorway into the museum area. If you never visited the historic area of Covington before, make sure you put this place on your itinerary, No admission for the museum or the general store. The employees will let you sight see as much as you want. There's premium parking out front on the street or in the ox-lot behind the store.

    I am an amateur woodworker and DIYer and have only lately moved into the area. I've never dealt…read morewith Harbor Freight before and quite frankly have never looked one up due to a general reputation that I perceived as "low quality." However, I had occasion to visit the Covington location a couple of times looking for odds and ends for projects and was pleasantly surprised. They have a wide assortment of good quality, hard to find, items not commonly available in the larger big box stores, at great prices. Interestingly, l found that the most impressive thing about this location was its staff. They all seem to have great knowledge of their inventory and an impressive understanding of what you genuinely need. They are also very generous with their advice. I am now a Harbor Freight member and as such save a lot more at their frequent sales and on advertised specials. Now if you visit expecting to find a lot of high end power tools and such you will be disappointed, but for your everyday needs Harbor Freight is highly recommended.

    I found the store had a lot to offer, I've bought several tomes( of course wondering if at the end…read moreof the day would I be better off buying higher. End ). Well I tried quite a few products and it did not disappoint and the money I saved, wow! I'm glad I gave Harbor freight a chance. This week I'll be purchasing the paint sprayer and a gas 2600PSI PRESSURE WASHER. Don't waste your time or money in an electrical power washer. Go gas !! The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant . Go for it. I'm glad I did.
