I purchased a compressor from this store and a week later I got an email from Harbor Freight with 20% memorial day discount coupon. I checked the Harbor Freight policies online and it turned out I could still use the discount up to 30 days from the date of purchase. I went to the store and requested the discount but they said I have to bring the large and heavy compressor back to the store to get the discount. I told them I have the receipt, the credit card that I made the original purchase and my drivers license but they still refused. I got the impression that they just didn't want to give me the discount. In addition to being unhelpful they were also a bit rude. I didn't like the way they treated me so I left the store and directly went to Lowes to buy a similar compressor (and believe it or not with similar price) and the next thing in the morning I returned their compressor. I don't think I would ever return to their store to buy anything else.
Good tool store in a rough area of san jose where their shopping carts get stolen by the homeless as soon as they receive new ones. If you need help grabbing multiple items the workers are happy to help you get what you need and the amount as well, and if they dont have that amount they will gladly check another location for you and have them put it on hold. And if you dont like that the employees arnt wearing masks then maybe you should follow the covid 19 guidelines your self and stay home and shelter in place. They are not a food service place and the county is not mandating the use of masks at this time, so employees are not required to wear a mask by law it is their preference. And since you complained about it now the employees who suffer from Claustrophobia have to wear the mask all day and suffer from not being able to breathe and have panic attacks.
I came in to buy a big tool box today because they were having a sale for 4th of July weekend. Usually the toolbox are excluded from coupons, I think. I was definitely going to buy a tool box and had one model in mind. The new 34" service cart. The website said it was in stock in black. I didn't see it on the floor, so I asked an associate. She was very nice and said she didn't know but would get the manager for me. I showed the manager the model on my phone and asked if I could buy one. He said he couldn't sell it to me because it was his display model. I asked if I could see it and he said no, it's in the back in a big box. In the end, I was so frustrated I didn't buy any tool box or anything else. I just wasted a hour of my life. Harbor freight, I don't think this is the the person you want running your store.
The best place to find bargains on tools. This store is busy in the evening. The store is not busy in the morning. This store also gives good discounts. Also, there can be long lines at this store. The store is well stocked with tools. This store is also very clean. The store has a good assortment of merchandise. Magaly Guadalupe is a good employee for this store. She can help you find what you are looking for. Magaly is really helpful. Cindy can help a person find what they are looking for. Magaly will help you find needed items. The sales ad is really useful. Magaly can help find the tools you are looking for.
Great place for "disposable" tools, some sturdy tools, DIY stuff, and stuff you didn't know you needed until you see it there (i.e. watch repair tool kit, drones, every wrench you could ever imagine). For about $200 you can get your choice of solar panels; an inspection camera; a bumper winch; a portable cement mixer; or an actually pretty decent OBD2 diagnostic tool that reads OBD2 codes, ABS codes, SRS codes. Everything from a table saw so small you could make Barbie furniture out of popsicle sticks, to build-it-yourself trailers you can take to DMV and register. it's Toys-R-Us for DIY adults on a budget.
This harbor freight store doesn't have shopping carts for some reason, only shopping baskets. Makes buying bulky items difficult, was trying to buy ten watertight metal storage containers, settled for three because couldn't find a way to carry them up to cashier. Oh well, will swing by Blossom Hill store or Stevens Creek store on the way to work next week...too much trouble to get back into line multiple times. Nice store, close to home, wish I learned of it sooner. Staff is efficient, some customers look a little dodgy, but they could probably say same of me too.
Nicholas the manager wow very unprofessional on my return Came in with a sealed box sent from costumer service to inqure my refund He proceeded to open box then says its opend I can't take it what how I did all steps he asked to get my refund then because his ego says no .. Never will I spend my cash their until he gets fired for bad costumer service I pretty sure the employees he has under his wing have bad experience but are afraid to speak up Please corporate need to refund my cash I will go to my furthest extent to get my money i just want my dam money back
I like spending money here! Wellll...at least that's what it looks like. This is because I'll come in here for a thing or two. But when I'm at the register, the cashier asks, "Would you like a bag?" I bounce back with, "Why? I only have 2..." "I have 21 things?! What the pi$$?! Dangnammit. Whatever. I'll find ways to use it all. Put this miniature tape measure and these zip ties in there too." And yes, I left with more than the 1 thing I came in here for today.
This afternoon at this store there was only one clerk wearing a mask and the rest of the clerks and cashiers were NOT wearing masks or gloves! Shame on the management! The Cashiers at this store were also unprofessional and unfriendly. I will not recommended this store to anyone at all!AND WARN people that employees/Mgmt. at this store are NOT following the COVID-19 Safety Precautions and inform the SCC Health Department as well.
Great as always bought a 15.000 btu tank top heater today It was the only they in stock box looked open . Talked to manager gave 20% off .looked like the igniter did not work .got home turns out it has no igniter it was the shutoff valve plunger . Worked great butt it had a bad brass seat .called harbor freight and talked too Cindy she was great . Gave the closest store that had one in stock. Will go tomarow and get my new one
Great customer service. Been here a couple times and everyone is eager and willing to help . I highly recommend this harbor freight over all .I've been to the sunnyvale one I believe or Santa clara. They're good and very clean with the inventory and have lifetime warranty on almost every tool which are pretty good quality for the money compared to higher priced brands. Will definitely come here only for any tool needs etc
Fun place to shop. I only wish they had a phone number to call when you have a question a person of authority can help with. I purchased a work bench and I liked it so much that I wanted another but when I tried to purchase another 10 days later the price was almost $30.00 more. If I could speak to a person I’m sure they would let me have it at same price. Other than that, I like shopping for tools and equipment there.
I went there today to purchase tarps. The bill came to 31 then the girl said she forgot to charge me for something and the bill went up to 37. I used a 30% off of everything under 10. Got $14 off. I give them four stars because I see the checkout girl was like...meh... How hard is it to be pleasant for gosh sakes? Photo is of a magnet strip to hold kitchen knives ot tools. Mounts with screws on the wall.
Love Harbor Freight! The only issue most of them have is the lines at the cash register. They often get out of control. But besides that, they always have what I need and the quality vs. price is pretty darn good. You have to know what to buy and what to stay away from. Before you go in, be sure to grab a coupon. you can usually get 20% off, as much as 30% off with some coupons found on their website.
Oh I love this place. It's been fueling my projects big and small for years. It's also dangerous to get even close to it - every time that happens I ended up spending a lot more money than I planned for. It has every piece of tool I have ever imagined I needed, and then some. Now that I have my second property, another round of binge buying is about to start...
everything that you need that you cannot find at another store all-in-one there they are very helpful and trying to get what you need and close to homes not too far off of stories Road and King Road looking for an odd part 2 something try Harbor Freight they will have it for you if they don't they can order
TERRIBLE customer service. The young woman at the check out counter was VERY unprofessional. They are minimally helpful, you can tell they don't want to be there, and lied multiple times to the customer. Sad day for Harbor Freight, they used to be one of my favorite stores. I will not buy there again.
I give this store a 4 stars. Has all kinds of handy tools. I believe the products such as electrical machine arnt that great. There for a short time every now and then use. Not for daily use. Prices are great. Bought a pipe threader after 3 yrs of use, it broke today and worth for the money..
These guys are very helpful and the store is well organized. Deals on everything from tools to toys. The parking is sometimes crazy in the evenings, but worth the trouble for a good deal which you will find every day. Don't forget to join the inside track to get even more deals!
Unbelievable prices for tools and many other good. Things you did at the hardware stores for twice the price. It isn't top of the line but is decent quality for the price. This store has nice workers that were so helpful. Everything was in stock that I needed. No complaints.
Staff here is always super helpful for me. I have never had a bad experience here. I work on a lot of things; houses, cars, yards, etc. This tool selection for the price is awesome. Some of these tools are actually decent just do your homework. Don't pay for a popular name.
It's ok just had an injury using one of the tools I bought there tho, a small pry bar I was using the handle slid down n the end went nearly thru the palm of my hand....other then that good prices usually, just gotta keep in mind things are cheaper there for a reason
Customer service was very good and management was very helpful getting me the aluminum ramps I needed. The guy even carried the box to my van in the big parking lot. Also recommend the latex gloves in 7 mil. It's got a Jack in a box next to it as well.
Helpful employees and courteous. Also credit card machines automatically able to handle prepaid card amount and allowed me to paid the rest in cash. Other places cashier will have to do this manually since my prepaid card didn't cover the full amount.
Nice store, quite large and well stocked, friendly if harried help. I just popped if to do an exchange on my way somewhere else, the line for a sales clerk was a bit long, but soon they called two more from the back and then things moved right along.
Good quality tools for a very cheap price just don't mistreat the tools and they'll last for a long time....everything is made in China but if you go to Home Depot all of their stuff is made in China too so I save money to go to Harbor Freight
Worst experience ever at this location yesterday I witnessed a horrible manager named Nicholas curse at his employees and even at some customers completely unprofessional and rude the man has anger issues and has no place as a manger anywhere
Went to Story Road location in San Jose. After searching online and website confirmed the 26 inch General tool box was in stock, then calling in advance to have a visual confirmation, I went down to purchase a blue, 26 inch tool box. I was
I was just in and out of this place. Bought 7 of the black heavy duty hooks so I can hang 4 of my mountain bikes upside down in the garage. I needed 8 but 7 is all they had. Lots of good things in here make sure only buy what you need.
Their door has disbled access, more organized than their store branch in stevens creek. Always has a good deal for tools and equipments. I will recommend to people that needs to buy tools and equipments at reasonable prices.
Ok store, sometimes understocked. This evaporust stuff works good on rusted parts, but if you dont cover the container it will evaporate like water. 8 to 12hrs for bad rust. I used it on a set of seat brackets from 1969.
Great place for tools. Be sure to use a 20% off coupon. They can scan the coupon from your phone. People complain about the quality, but the price is right. I've never had any difficulty taking any thing back that broke.
Jairo was very unprofessional staring at my breast the whole time he was ringing me up! I felt his creepy eyes undressing me. Was so happy to get out of there. Use to be my favorite spot for DIY projects . ☹️ …
Amazing great customer service. Shelves stocked. Everything you could need and more. I feel like a kid in a candy store. I wish I could have all of their products. Decent quality for a great price. Plenty of parking.
They have a great variety of tools, paint brushes, work gloves, batteries, so many other things to list. The prices are lower than Walmart or other hardware stores, plus you get a 20% coupon with their advertisement.
Just bought a low profile 3 ton jack I'm going to have to return it because one of the wheels will not turn. Update they make the return easy but it is a pain having a box it up and bring it back when it weighs 75 lb
Sometimes the line can get long. I am guessing that there might be 3 or 4 people working at any given time because I don't think I have ever seen another register open, even when the line is 6 or even 8 people deep.
Enjoy passing by for cheap tools and replacement items. I stopped in one day because I had a roller that carries 200+ lb. have a broken wheel. Had plenty of parts. Prices sometimes lower than hardware stores.
They wouldn't honor a coupon from their own ad.
Parking space
Somewhat difficult to find parking
Parking options
Free parking lot
Parking
Hard to find parking that is close to the store.
Harbor Freight is man's best store you can tell my old man what is his favorite store in he will say Harbor Freight and he never forgets to get his free item and he gets upset if you don't get your free item
This place is great for decent quality and affordable tools and accessories. Additionally, I love to walk the aisles to get new project ideas and reasons to purchase that new dohicky I don't yet possess.
I own a body shop just went bought 400$ of tools to start and finish a job all tools are Pittsburgh i use Snap On, Mac Tools, Blue Point, Pittsburgh is just as good.! The price is even better.!
Quick shopping experience, friendly helpful staff, excellent return policy, and factory direct pricing ensure the job gets done, the tool works, and you saved some extra cash in the process
Walked around like a jackass with no help. Asked 2 separate employees where I could find something and got 2 answers. The item was in neither spot. Ended up walking out after wasting time.
Great experience with Josh , the Manager and Monica at checkout. Very helpful and patient in person and on the phone. Store is clean and organized too. Rare, impressive retail experience.
Good tools, the best prices, good response from store representatives, and the best is their coupons. They have some tools which I found no where else like, fish finder, ...
I needed a new nozzle for my garden hose and found one on sale at HF for $4 with their coupon AND I got a 6 piece screwdriver set for free again with their coupon, win-win!
Good tools half decent price range over all I can use a spot welder for all appliance fixer uppers that people throw away like metal arms on chairs bike frames knifes ext
This place has terrible customer service. Every time I have gone, the staff is rude and unprofessional. Also, overall unaware of the producs they carry, or what they do.
I have got to admit I was very surprised... They have so many things here.. I think this is my new to go place when it comes to tools... The prices are on believeable...
I wasn't able to find the specific tool I was looking for at any of the three Harbor Freight stores near me. I have bought many work a day tools here in the past though
love this place for diy projects that you don't want to spend a lot of money on tools that you only need for projects here and there, they have practically everything
Lots of Tools hand tools power tools various Industrial contractor mechanic home repair DIY. Never had a problem with a lifetime guarantee replacement on most tools.
Pretty horrible. Waited in line outside for 35 minutes only to be told that they don't sell propane bottles. What kind of hardware store doesn't sell propane?? Fail.
One of the top Bay area tool suppliers in person or online. Using my Harbor Freight Predator 212 CC chipper shredder for it's 4th seasons strong as the first day .
Great place to visit for all your home improvement and Automotive needs I would say this is as important as Home Depot I just wish they had more customer service
If you're looking for cheap tools and don't need the highest quality, Harbor Freight is the place to go. This store is stocked well, and the staff is helpful!
This is the closest to my place which is really helpful but in my today visit they disappoint by not even helping not once.. twice. Such a helpless store
Love that this is located in the Neighborhood! So many hard workers in need of good tools on many levels.. Great customer service and friendly employees
Abert and josh are awesome, they helped me find exactly what I needed and suggested locks to protect my toys. Best customer service I've had in years
About the only other place i can shop for odd tools that you wouldn't use for a long but do the job tarps an tie downs is the place to go in a hurry.
Went to Harbor Freight Tools to get a specific tool. Someone immediately helped me find the tool. Great service and excellent selection of products.
Smells like quality tools at ridiculously low prices. Only thing I won't buy there is American flags. Have an issue with them being made in China.
The five stars is for the service people, the store is large and they have almost everything you need and it can be hard to find what you want.
Alternative place to buy tools if u can't go to Home Depot to buy tools. Even though it's on the cheaper side, the tools are somewhat durable.
Harbor freight just like home depot. The tools and Mechanical tools, Handy man tools are cheap they have good brands. Shop around and see.
They got every thing it like walking in to a good dollor tree but for tools there not craftsmen but they will do the job for the price
The store is organized and clean. Prices are what you would expect. Workers are usually decent. Some items were all out of stock.
Pretty good prices for tools. I haven't really had any trouble with any of the tools that I've picked up there. So far so good.
Limited number of people allowed inside I was able to do a quick exchange on a defective product and buy some more new stuff
Wide variety of yools and other simple gadgets opens at 8am nice and early plenty of stuff in stock lots of every day deals
Like all harbor freights good place to go for inexpensive tools if you are not a commercial use. But no shopping carts
I like the price's but this store doesn't have certain items that the other locations do. Its a smaller store I think.
Whats to say?!? Harbor Freight has become synonymous with..... At least they have a great return and exchange policy.
Got to the store 15min before closing and was able to be helped and got rung up pretty fast staff was very friendly
I like Harbor freight and most of the store employees are very helpful. I only wish they had longer store hours!
Good selection of reasonable tools for most jobs. It might not be the famous big brand but it will do the job.
Smaller store but same selection and staff is very polite and helpful. I think they only have 1 shopping cart.
Was a great one I bought a lot like always when entering this place but one of my ho to for tools in general.
Probably 100% made in China but some good tools at good price but you have to do some research and comparison
Must have time to spend in line they have affordable products just not worth standing in line for a .50 brush
Absolutely live harbor freight but there prices are starting to get up they close to mainstream tools prices
Good place to get hand tools (hammers pry bar etc). Power tools are not good quality as the big box places.
Great prices and good service! The variety of inventory is pretty impressive for a discount hardware store
the tool I bought did not work, returned it 3 later, I was charged restocking fee. The tool did not work.
The cashier was professional and very polite. Theres a lot of tools and good set of sockets and wrenches!
Large selection of tool, work accessories and other home improvements goods. Prices are reasonably low.
Internet and HF computer said product was in stock, but was not. Two locations would not sell didplay.
Love the prices. Very good if you are into small home projects and need a low price tool for the job.
The store is very big and clean. The service was great and I love the smell of new tools. ️ …
Great place for cheap tools. If you plan to use them frequently or for work I would not recommend.
Couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but found an alternative. Parking wasn't an issue.
Good prices, quality is good for what I use em for. Store is well organized and clean …
Tools at a great price just check there hours of business they open kinda late for me anyway to
Staff were amazingly helpful, prices great. Mostly not high end tools, but good for small jobs.
Had to go to three different stores to get what I needed then east San Jose is. Packed ahhhhhhh
Good place to buy tools and other welding, pneumatic equipment or items at reasonable prices.
Inexpensive tools, parts, tarps. Nice working person environment. Friendly helpful employees.
hire someone that can help find a tool , goldy locks at the front counter dont got a clue ,
Huge selection been there at least 5 times this weekend and last week best prices in town
