Light Up for Earth Day
Greetings, Earth people. As I'm sure you've gathered from reminders ad nauseum, it's Earth Day. It's enough to make you miss those posture-oppressing Earth Shoes and splashing on some Coty Wild Musk. Let's just be thankful there isn't a steady stream of Earth Day carols (This Land Is Your Land... I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing... Also Sprach Zarathustra...) saturating the airwaves. But, in the spirit of Earth Day, I want to tell you about this nifty gizmo available at Harbor Freight, that will make the Earth, your inner-hippie, and your HOA much happier.
Self-Igniting Propane Torch
For surgical, non-chemical obliteration of noxious weeds, I submit to you the Harbor Freight Propane Torch With Push Button Igniter, SKU #91037. Propane is nature's own weed killer and this self-igniting torch is perfect for decimating an entire alien race. Outfitted with a long 6-ft, 8-in. hose (350 PSI) and a wand finished with a flow valve and turbo-blast trigger, this is all you need to burn weeds and stumps, soften asphalt and melt ice. The intensity of the flame is such that a couple of passes over weeds leaves little surface debris, and looks almost "swept" clean. It's also a great tool for spot-edging in the garden, preheating metal for welding, melting aluminum, taking out killer bee nests and fire ant hills, and starting the BBQ, smoker or campfire, The torch is fitted with a Piezo electric ignition for safe, matchless starts, and comes with two open-end wrenches for easy hook up to a standard-size propane tank. At only $29.99, this multipurpose wonder is a great deal! Check out the customer reviews and you'll see I'm not just blowing smoke up your terra firma.
Propane Torch
If the turbo-blast component or self-igniting feature (not to mention the additional ten bucks) seem like more than you need, consider Harbor Freight's other Propane Torch, SKU #91033, selling for $19.99. As with the other torch, this baby burns weeds, melts snow & ice, removes paint from non-flammable surfaces and more! Again, no need to use chemicals or back-breaking shoveling and pulling-- and the weeds won't grow back. Generating temperatures over 3,000 degrees F, this a great propane torch for jobs around the home that require a small, powerful flame. Go from pouring the coals to meat on the grill in less than 5 minutes--no paper or lighter fluid or nursing a fire to life! Remove vinyl flooring, trim the edges of your putting green, shrink wrap your boat, improvise a steel forge with it, use it on a metal spinner, incinerate brush and more.
Either product will thrill your green thumb and/or inner-kid to no end, and will pay for itself in no time! In fact, you'll have no problem recruiting friends to come help you save the planet. Don't forget to clip your Harbor Freight 20% Off coupon before making your purchase!

The All-Purpose 4-Gallon Backpack Sprayer
The summer's almost over, but you wouldn't know it, stepping outside. As the heat persists, so do bugs, thirsty gardens, weeds, dirt-splattered recreati0nal toys, dusty windows, etc.-- all perfect reasons to keep a One Stop Gardens 4-Gallon Backpack Sprayer in the garage.
As attested by Harbor Freight customers, the durable 4-gallon backpack sprayer works great in the garden, spraying water, fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide, soil conditioner, kelp solutions and weed killer. Others use it for washing their boats, motorcycles and ATVs when hoses are not available. One customer said the backpack sprayer was perfect for carrying cleaner for washing their windows.
As deer hunters are fully aware, the game have already started hitting the crops, preparing for the winter ahead. Many hunters anticipate the season by creating food plots-- cover crops planted for the express purpose of attracting and holding the deer (soybean and clover are both favorites)-- which means they need to keep the area clear of weeds, grass and other noxious growth. The 4-Gallon Backpack Sprayer is perfect for transporting and spreading the weed & grass killer to the area.
Needless to say, the list of uses for the backpack sprayer ends with the imagination. You can use it to spray down dusty campsites, balconies, high-sitting wasp nests, sandy kids at the beach, out-of-reach sheds, fence lines, and so much more! And, at such a low price, there's no excuse not to get one!
Tools to Help Your Garden Grow
So you want to start a garden, eh? You’ve waited years for that moment where you have the space in your yard to do it. Or maybe you’ve just volunteered for a community garden but you haven't a garden tool to your name? Well Harbor Freight Tools is here to help!
The Harbor Freight Tools Garden Gnomes are here to help your garden grow (ok, not really, but you can buy them for only $7.99 and they make your garden super cute.)
Garden tools can be broken down into two basic categories: tools for working the soil / planting and tools for maintaining your plants.
Soil and Planting Tools:
Round-point shovel - this shovel is made for loosening and moving soil and digging planting holes
Manure fork - the name is a bit daunting but historically speaking manure was fertilizer and something was needed to move this around. This tool is also useful for aerating your compost pile
Garden rake - this is great fro breaking up smaller clumps of dirt and working soil amendment / fertilizer into the top of a garden bed
Garden Maintenance Tools:
Bypass pruner - you need at least one good bypass pruner for routine plant maintenance such as deadheading roses, shaping shrubs, or cutting off that annoying branch growing in exactly the wrong spot. It’s nice to have to them in several sizes for larger or smaller jobs, but an 8-inch pruner should suffice most of the time
Snips - these are necessary for reaching into tight spaces to snip off tiny twigs
Loppers - these are used for removing branches
Pruning saws - when branches are too big for loppers you'll need a pruning saw to take them down
Garden sprayer - the best way to disseminate plant food or pest control (organic of chemical)
Gloves - of course! Don't forget these. You'll need to protect your hands from thorns and insects an other things that might be lurking in the soil
As you continue to work on your garden, you'll get a feel for these tools and may find other nifty gadgets that will help you out. But for now you've got a good starter kit to get you going and all at the ridiculously low prices that you can only find at Harbor Freight Tools.

Get Your Fire Started!
Whether you're a camper, survivalist, or just someone who likes to be prepared for emergencies, a magnesium fire starter makes a worthy addition to your toolbox or camping bag. Fire-starting is one of the basic activities performed during camping and emergency situations, necessary for cooking, heating and lighting.
a magnesium fire starter makes a worthy addition to your toolbox or camping bag
While modern day devices like electric-igniters and butane lighters are convenient, they are prone to failure. The trigger switches on electric fire-starters can break, butane lighters can easily crack and even waterproof matches can break. This is where a magnesium fire starter comes into play.
This waterproof fire starter serves as its own tinder and can produce a flame under damp conditions. The tinder lasts an incredibly long time. As a compact fire starter, it takes up practically no room at all, leaving plenty of space in your camping bag for other worthy essentials, like this 12 LED hand crank lantern.
In survival situations, you'll want this simple, compact accessory with you at all times to get a fire going even in damp weather. The fire it generates is extremely hot and will ignite even damp kindling. It comes complete with its own striker which creates sparks when struck against the firesteel.
When it comes to finding a portable and reliable method for starting fires, Harbor Freight has you covered. Our simple fire starter requires no electricity, no messy fuel refills, and no special waterproofing.
A magnesium fire starter is a must-have for all emergency preparedness kits, survival kits, and camping bags. If you're the type who always needs a “plan b”, this will be a great tool for you!
