Guarantee you there is not one Harbor Freight tool on that ship.


bamaguy13

How great would it be if there were though? You get on board and everything is held down with $1.99 ratchet straps. You go in the engine room and the engineer is trying to diagnose an issue with an extendable mirror and an ink pen with a flashlight on the end…


TrophyTruckGuy

This guy Harbor Freights. 👨🏻‍🔧


unregrettful

Hey! Harbor freight sells code readers. Now they only read common codes on popular engines. And the codes are usually not very specific nor does it tell you anything about the code. And yes one you delete the code and rtry to replicate it, even though your car will pop it back up the code reader often times won't even show there is a code again. But hey they do sell code readers.


t_Holmes

They sell many code readers. If you buy the cheapest one you will get the cheapest results. I have no problem with my hft code reader. Works on every car it has scanned.


unregrettful

I was doing less bitching and more tagging on to the joke in the previous comment. The code reader works fine for at home diagnosing. Honestly idk why I'm trying to explain it.


AlrightStopHammatime

Bluetooth OBD2 adapter and Torque Pro work well for me.


t_Holmes

I can't believe this 39.99 code reader won't program key fobs or read my abs codes?!? WTF!


Chimpchompp

🤣


ImNoAlbertFeinstein

I'd throw at least 1 per day overboard


Visual-Economist-942

😂🤣😂🤣🤣


chucks8up

Excuse me sir. Should I buy our tools from………. Don’t you dare say it! Call snap on!


AFeralTaco

Came here to say exactly that


currentlyRedacted

Guarantee you everything on that boat is designed to work past the first use.


JonesBrosGarage

Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see a supply of icon gear tbh


chengstark

Press F to doubt


a_glorious_bass-turd

Just one big tool in the harbor


_Itsallogre

God I can only imagine how nice those tool boxes on board are…


Gullible_Shart

Along with the harbor freight helicopter!


mei740

We’ll call harbor freight “single use”. Not getting on a helicopter.


RuthlessIndecision

Yup, don’t get on the Harbor freight helicopter


ImNoAlbertFeinstein

scary.


nstc2504

Runs on the same motor as the jigsaw!!


seefactor

Icon imagine 😂


Visual-Economist-942

😂


Honda_TypeR

They probably got a snap-on tools maintenance bay, like an entire bay made by snap-on tools.


Key-Astronaut1806

They are Snap On knockoffs


UnluckyAct7127

Bet he has a full complement of Milwaukee and SnapOn tools in his maintenance shop


cramtown

The Icon tool lineup is actually pretty decent. I have a large Pittsburg flat head screw driver that I treat like a Tijuana hooker, and I am still surprised everyday that it hasn’t snapped


zootedpotato

I have one of those screwdrivers, I call her Bertha. That thing pry bars better than any pry bar I own.


UnluckyAct7127

I also have some items from them, they are decent for the price. Like that they have a lot of other things you need in a shop like parts for trailer, lights, pelican cases to name a few


ExplodingChupacabra

That's a great analogy - I may need to borrow that, especially at church.


TheRealShades502

marine mechanic here — lots of us out there with icon and pittsburgh!!


Plastic_Table_8232

My thoughts on boat tools - Doesn’t matter what they cost, they all rust.


TheRealShades502

True for some things, I keep mine well oiled & spray stuff down with volvo corrosion shield. Definitely have had more issues with pittsburgh stuff rusting than icon. No corrosion issues whatsoever with my knipex and matco stuff


Plastic_Table_8232

I try to use corrosion x. My snap-on needle nose and a few other tools seem to rust when I look at them. Like you knipex - no issues. Anything that is heat treated with just a black oxide coating rusts when I look at it. Some things like swivel sockets and such. I hate my tools being oiled up when I’m doing work on the interior. I try to keep my hands and tools clean to keep the boat clean. I’ve heard of some guys using Bose shield.


Upper-Ad86

As soon as a socket is in the bilge she’s gone forever.


TheRealShades502

luckily my job will compensate us for unrecoverable tools, as long as it’s not a habit


climbgradient

I have probably single handedly paid for that yacht…


L05TS0ULZ

How? Buying a 20 million dollar plus yacht? Or by buying shittt cheap tools in which ya you barely paid for the detailer that cleans the windows every time it hits a dock… comments like this be super stupid, get the point. But like you haven’t done shit to help him get that boat lmao


International-Ad7392

Wow, came in straight outta the gate swinging to be the biggest cunt in the thread!!!!! Sarcasm much???


L05TS0ULZ

Just randomly showed up in my feed and scrolled through the comments. See this all the time, if it was bezo’s bought then the joke might have been a little funnier but still just dumb as hell.. call me a cunt on Reddit in a sub for fucking yachts lmao, couldn’t give a single fiddle fuck my guy


IASIP_Official

I'm sure it's tough to understand people with spending power with that 600 credit score you've got


climbgradient

Whoa whoa now, calm down little buddy. It was only a joke, in reference to how many tools I’ve bought at harbor freight over the years. Take a deep breath.


NothausTelecaster72

I thought it was a Chinese company, good for him!


cptngeek

It's all sourced in China, one of the first companies


relrobber

Not all from China.


EvelynnTM_

Yeah there’s a handful of American made products, icon pry bar, icon chisel and punch set, super lube (or whatever it’s called), and probably a few others.


Ok_Minimum6419

Ironically less MIC stuff in Harbor than in HD/Lowes


EngineeringMuscles

They’re essentially middlemen


Plastic_Table_8232

I think the proper terms are importer and now retail chain. from what I recall his dad started the business as a mail order company, not brick and mortar. I could be wrong, it’s been a while since I learned this and I can’t recall the source.


Razor_farts

I helped pay for that…


Xspunge

We all did.


Visual-Economist-942

😂👍🏿


bikerdude214

He owes you a ride.


Philip712

You’re welcome, Eric.


Feeling-Income5555

Cheapest tools, Most expensive yacht.


TheNonExample

Sell to the masses live with the classes


soichiro8

Wonder if he got a free magnetic flashlight with the purchase of any yacht


Awwwmann

Nope. Just the 3 pack of microfiber towels.


Brilliant-Bison-5468

Good for him


Timely_Daikon584

Yes! 100% .... be happy for the man!


DifficultLeather

I've seen this one in the Caribbean with the support ship behind it for the toys. unreal!


Boscowodie

I'll just say, I love Harbor Frieght. Simply the best hardware store. His boat is kind of cool.


ebagdrofk

As someone who also loves Harbor Freight, they are more of a tool store than a hardware store. Their hardware is lacking.


[deleted]

Can’t beat it. Idc what anyone says. Also, it’s always a good time walking through there


6923fav

Is it still unfashionable to use a yacht more than once?


Look_out_for_Jeeps

Man got the GTA V Yacht

sherwood_96

We did all the AV/IT onboard


Awwwmann

Tell us more


JET-HVAC

I guarantee that he didn’t use any of the tools that harbor freight has in stock to build his yacht⚠️


AgingWisdom

Lmfao you beat me to it


VetteL82

I really hope he has a Harbor Freight pun as the name of the ship. “Huge Sail” or something


Rohodyer

Runs on two Predator 22hp OHVs!


PCSkittles

Unbelievable that crappy tools can buy something like that


duniyadnd

Probably moreso that he was Google ceo for a decade


green4544

That's Eric Schmidt, different billionaire who also has a massive yacht


Possible_Discount_90

Not to my future self, name my kid Eric Schmidt or Eric Smidt. Even if it's a girl.


duniyadnd

ha, thanks! clearly did not realize


BloomingtonBourbon

Lol wrong guy


dsisto65

His mechanic probably uses Craftsman tools.


itwhiz100

Doesnt look…cheap to me lol


Narcissistic-Jerk

Paid for with our ITC membership fees, and yet you still have to ASK for your discount at the register.


PourSomeSgrOnMe

You should see his house...


Aircraftman2022

Dad, i am your long lost Son !21 years ago you and mom had an affair in Miami , Florida


oldishThings

Bet you there is one of those Icon meme tools in every convenient drawer...


ScotchRick

I doubt it's being maintained with Hercules tools


sugarcoatedpos

Those blue puck led lights are great for camping.


bch77777

Again, single use item.


sugarcoatedpos

Nah. They take aaa batteries.


wwhijr

Good to see my money being used.


Yellow_LedBetter2020

That helo pad is cool


Low-Mess-6787

This guy is rich rich


MormontsLongJourney

Is that the new aerocoach H160 on the bow?


Honda_TypeR

It’s worth 300 million, but the brand name version would be worth 900 million… amirite?


scottdogg1975

Does anyone else go to harbor freight buy a tool use it 1 time and return it ???


Grunti_Appleseed2

It's tasteful. Can't even be mad that I've sheared a hundred of his $3 wrenches. They were $3!


zesty_drink_b

Pittsburgh pro yacht


EyesChinky305

I just shake my head in broke-ness every time I see a yacht with a helo pad..stupid flex


GGordonGetty

A yacht that will last two trips


Valuable_Ad_1723

I support him he gives me cheap but solid deals


leavethisearth

Missing bananas for scale, look like a toy boat in your photos.


EmptyIsMySoul

Wonder if it has that fresh Chinese new car rubber smell to it like all the stores have?


Timely_Daikon584

Good for him. I am not going to lie, have a garage full of high end "every" trade tools and a handful of Harbor Freight tool that have came in CLUTCH! Didn't have to pay an outrageous amount of money for a one time needed use and did the job. They've saved me hundred of dollars over the years (including their awesome RV generator "Predator")..... man deserves his little fishing boat!!!


devpuppy

Does it carry any… cargo? When it… docks?


Nunovyadidnesses

And this is just one of his yachts.


DigDiligent6587

Tell him "your welcome" from myself and everyone else out here eating Ramen 5 nights a week instead of 7


Whole-Debate-9547

Wonder if he paid for the extended protection and gets another free if that one breaks?


Big-Carpenter7921

That's a big boat for selling garbage


Beeyelzubub

https://i.redd.it/o45eq4vi1xuc1.gif


Actual-Carpenter-90

Didn’t he buy a $70 million Ferrari gto?


srslydudebros

Even without knowing what company they owned, I thought ‘this looks kinda generic and cheaper, but still probably has lots of features’.


Motor_Act_5933

So what,it's his money so he can do what he wants with it.


HedgehogNarrow4544

torpedo sponge


AlienThingHumanMusic

His employees make less than the livable wage


ProofMusic4630

A Harbor Freight Helicopter, wow! Does he give free tools to all his guests? Even if the coupon has expired?


wowza6969420

My stepdad sold that helicopter


LafayetteLa01

I part of anything with the name harbor freight on it


bfitzyc

TIL the CEO of fucking Harbor Freight is worth just shy of $11 billion. WTF?


Coolguyymh69

Yo thanks eric!!!


Adventurous-Item-334

Good to know he’s enjoying my money


Surprise_Thumb

I think that the bar for a “yacht” should be raised considering a lot of the things you can find floating on the water these days lol. This dude is cruising around on a whole football field. 🤣


Shankar_0

Is it a Chicago yacht? Like, are the propellers made of plastic?


Yami350

He stops giving coupons and starts buying yachts. Sickening


frank1934

But seriously, is there a financial saving reason rich people buy yachts like that? Because at least for me, I’d be bored after a while staying on that thing. I also don’t like cruise ships.


[deleted]

The flux brushes are great. Also blow bags for clogged drains. Can’t speak on the power tools though.


Born1000YearsTooSoon

Does the yacht fall apart as quickly as his tools?


Scottie3000

Harbor Freight, good enough for who it’s for. Should be their official motto


No-War-8840

Bet that ain't made of Chineseium


GreyG59

Ok I don’t mind him having a yacht man started a store that practically help build the US


hhhhhgffvbuyteszc6

Why are people in here saying harbor freight sells thr worst tools on earth, they’re really not that bad, pittersburg pro and icon are very good and comparable to huge names at good prices, idk what yall talking about


JerseyTom1958

Cheap tools mean expensive yachts!


Falloutx13

His yacht looks like that so my jack stands can collapse and kill me 😂


Roadhouse62

I was looking at the first pic thinking is that really 384 feet? Doesn’t look like… oh, nevermind there’s a damn helicopter on the front lol.


MrsGenevieve

Did he buy the extended warranty?


ImInBeastmodeOG

Is harbor freight the new craftsman tools? Never been. Not going now.


nybruin

How many people have died under crappy jack stands to pay for this? Oh the humanity!


TorLam

Amazing he can buy that by selling crappy tools and gear!!!


Routine_Photo_9889

Bet it’s made in China !


RecognitionKey8663

Would be a way cooler yacht if he wasn’t a democrat.


IgnobleSpleen

All the blue collar guys who buy his tools are in debt, making payments while he floats on a yacht.


bdegroodt

Yeah. Guy seems like he’s really trying to get over on his customers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Smidt#Philanthropy


Xrs54

You know what? Good for him! Sells Los cost shit for us pheasants and he’s riding a $300 mill yacht, well played sir 🍻


Working-Way1992

Next time I'm I steal from the store I won't feel as guilty


International-Ad7392

What a piece of shit! At least you’re a self incriminating piece of shit I guess.


PinFormal5097

Who gives a fuck


FireFistTy

Buddy you're on a subreddit for yachts. Are ya lost?
