HF in NJ

[Buddy Matlosz]

Two Harbor Freight stores opening soon in NJ. One is in Brick Township:

The other is in Vineland:

Grand opening in Brick is May 3, don't know about Vineland. I got a flyer in the mail with a 10% coupon, which also applies to sale prices.

WOO HOO!!

That's *not* close to NY city

[Buddy Matlosz]

Here's a list of all their store locations:

There are six in NY, but unfortunately (for you, at least), they're all upstate.

Yes. I got the same info. I don't think a 5 hr drive would make things cost effective. Now, visiting my son in Cambridge, MA does get me very close to the Rockler store there ...

[Edwin Pawlowski]

I'm sorry to hear that. What a shame that good retail space is going to be wasted on third and fourth rate merchandise.

I'd think NYC would have some great WW stores. Maybe a little pricey, but...

Thanks for mentioning that. I have never been in a Rocklers, but will be in Cambridge this summer.

Are there any other woodworker supply stores near central NJ? I used to go to WoodWorkers Warehouse, until they went bankrupt. Now I am limited to Lowes, HomeDepot, and an occasional machine tool shop.

Thanks, X_HOBBES

Have you checked the Woodcraft or Western Tool web sites? I'd be really surprised if there isn't a Woodcraft in that area. Western Tool has reopened some WWW stores in MA, and CT, possibly elsewhere. Maybe they've done something in NJ.

There's also Garrett Wade and

in NYC if you're looking for an over the counter source of hand tools.

I've heard of a place in Mountainside or maybe Union/Springfield... Force tools maybe?

Are you THE X_HOBBES I used to know from Art A?

Now why would FUBU be reading posts on a woodworking newsgroup??? New interests??? No more Ziareeka collections? I thought you only wrote to hacker publications! *Hehehe*

Yes, this is X_HOBBES from the BC Tech Lab. =-)

Central NJ is tough. A good power tool source is Force Machinery in Union on Route 22 westbound lane. No WWWarehouse any more. Closest specialty store is Woodcraft in Allentown PA right off I-78, and the Harbour Freight in Allentown, although I would not call HF "specialty" by any means. The Woodcraft guys in Allentown are always amazed I drive an hour to visit and shop there. I've been to Garrett Wade in NYC on the Avenue of the Americas, its ok, but limited; you're better off with the catalog unless you're in the area, small showroom. I've always thought about doing a Woodcraft franchise, but the cost to get started is steep, I'm told.

Dufu.... DUFU... FUBU is an urban apparel company I think...

Check out my links below... That is what I do these days. I gave up on corporate America man... You need to drill LOTS of holes anytime soon? eMail me privately going forward. No need to bore all these folks with our useless ramblings...

Hacker??? You must have me confused with another person.

As far as Ziareeka goes... I've downgraded my car audio to a tape player... So no... Looking for a new car rather than a new radio.

There can be only one! Still building that canoe table?

The Woodcraft Supply in Wilmington, DE is another good choice. Its about

1.5 hours from Monmouth Cty. The advantage there is NO SALES TAX. Depending on what you buy it could definitely be worth the trip for that alone.
