Harbor Freight steps up

[Tom Dunlap]

HF is an easy target for potshots

They are donating N95s, nitrile gloves and other PPE to 24 hour emergency hospitals

This is an example of good corporate citizenship

Keep the potshots out of this thread. Remember, I’m one of the people who has a velvet glove over an iron fist

FWIW they still had some 9 mil gloves in stock yesterday. 9 mil is more expensive than most of their offerings ($12.99 for 50 gloves) but that’s probably why they were still in stock.

I saw that earlier, when I was on their site looking for something completely unrelated. It’s great to see a company doing something like that!

To be fair, we have not shut down totally yet and I honestly am pretty afraid of what that involves. We still have fruit tree pruning and airspading scheduled all week. Fishing is probably just as reckless an activity. I am not going to be able to handle a shutdown very well I think

Good on them.

Anyone tried their latex-coated nylon (polyester?) gloves? I picked up a pair for like $3 for climbing...

I climb in the black Hardy gloves from HF. They hold up pretty well and are certainly cheap enough that it doesn't matter if they do.

Another plug for the black Hardy gloves from HF. I wear them for climbing, and for yard work when the coating gets worn a bit. They're great for swinging an ax or a mattock, shoveling and raking.

The ones I've bought recently seem to be holding up better than the ones I bought several months ago, too.
