Love going here. I got the coolest gadget box for my crafts. It has 4 containers that latch and slide in like drawers. They have the divider tabs, and a cover to latch all 4 in securely. Also the top opens for more things and is about 2 deep with a handle. Worked so good I went back and got 2 more.

Good luck calling.... these guys never answer the phone. You have to call answer store to see if Oceanside store even has the tool in stock.

A couple months ago we bought a cargo rack for a cross-country move. When we opened the box, there was a piece that was missing, but the location we were at had no more racks in stock. We called over to Harbor freight in Oceanside and they said they had some. When we went over, Jessica and Lexi went over the top to not only find the missing pieces, but they actually helped us assemble it and attach it to the vehicle. This was excellent customer service and they were wonderful and kind the entire time. Five stars! Thank you so much Jessica and Lexi!

I love it here! They always have the best coupons and deals. Store is always well kept and organized. Staff is always very knowledgeable and friendly. Only thing us they had no S hooks, which I found to be an odd thing for them to not have considering they had everything else under the sun lol.

Horrid service by the Supervisor? Said when asked about power alternative for RV electric. Well you havent 5 minutes to figure it out. I dont know every product we sell. Well, you should, you are a Supervisor. Erin is his name and totally rude. See video HappykrapCamper or LadyAzure. Other customers were calling him a baby. Lol...he grabbed my basket and took off with it. Ok Mr. Man cheap tools and horrid manager i would fire or demote this guy. What and embarrassing moment.

Harbor freight always has great deals and knowledgable staff. The coupons always have me leaving with more than I intended but in a good way. The tools are usually not going to last super long but chances are I’m not going there for something to last into the next decade anyway.

Review №38

The prices here are awesome and low and you can use multiple coupons on one purchase by separating the transactions. They have a rewards program and often have parking lot sales! Lot of coupons for free stuff with no minimum purchase required! Have gotten all my tool sets here as well as they have great flashlights. The batteries could be better, they do have a restroom and huge parking lot. The hours could go later as they close at 8.

I don’t care what anyone says about Harbor Freight this is the perfect place to go if you are trying to get easy tools for working on projects or building a budget shop. I get most of my tools here and the deals are totally worth it. I haven’t had any problem with the quality of the tools and I have definitely put them through the ringer. Definitely worth a visit to try the quality for yourself.

Harbor Freight is my go-to for all tools, gloves, bungies and more. Love their sales. Their prices usually are less than a hardware store and the staff are helpful.

Review №45

The staff is always helpful and attentive to the customers. If the line is long they open another register. And they have a great return policy. Make sure you keep your receipt because they require that. Or better yet - Tell the cashier to email me the receipt and youll have it forever! Thats what I do. Free stuff with coupons. Great selection. They just need hot dogs!

Review №46

This is one of the nicer Harbor Frieghts there is! Its a little hard to find. But nice big parking lot. When you lose a coupon. They have an extra one for you! Thats customer service! Store is really clean. Looks like sometimes they can go out of stock on items. And surprised they dont carry any light bulbs. But because of the friendly staff. It makes it a pleasurable experience! Will always return!

Review №48

Major issue returning items purchased. Will not accept items being returned after 90 days even with a receipt just crazy. Will not return items without a receipt unless they deduct 20% from the price purchased again crazy. Definitely dont make me think again about further purchases from the store with such a hassle trying to return items. Price is good but if youre not allowed to return stuff its not worth paying cheap prices

I generally like this place a lot this location I will probably never visit again. My Harley broke down (shocker ) and I walked there about a mile just to get one tool that I needed that I had left at home and the most important thing to the employees was to let me know they were closing in 10 minutes other than that I barely could even get help to find a tool I needed so guess what they had to stay a little longer. FYI every other harbor freight I have reviewed got great marks.

Review №51

Great deals on tools, one stop shopping. not really many options for tool shopping these days. The hardware is cheesy sometimes, so be careful on critical applications, specifically hose clamps.

Great place for tools and other things too. I always end up spending more than I want to, but what I get makes it all well worth it. Not too expensive here, and sometimes great deals!

Review №53

We called this morning and talked to Auggie who told us they had many many “soda can crushers”. I asked for him to check, he said again that they had plenty and to come on down! We drove 47 mins from Temecula. We got to the Oceanside store, they had none.We spoke to the manager and she said twice that “she couldn’t make them in the back”.She gave us a printed coupon, that is available on-line for 20 percent off. Big deal. And again said she couldn’t make them in the back..Auggie was friendly, professional and apologetic. The manager was flippant, insulting with her remarks, and could have offered us a coupon for the 5.98 cent item.

Review №54

Great prices, big inventory, but very limited staff. If you know what you are looking for I recommend this place, if you need help from staff expect a long waiting time, however they are really nice but two person to a big store like this definitely not enough.

Review №57

As always Lea the cashier was friendly & helpful in locating the item we were looking for in the store.There have been other times though where I felt stocked by a store manager my whole time in the store. Only reason I could think why they were doing that, is because I always wear my man-purse (backpack).

This place is my second home but there is always one product they always advertise but this location never have in stock so thats the only reason they get a 4 star. The employees there are friendly and they store is clean and organized. They do a great job setting up for sales. This location was the reason I become an inside member.

Received a coupon for 25% off any one item in my email this morning.Went to harbor Freight to purchase a stand for the table saw I had purchased previously. Called before I went to make sure they had one in stock. I was told I could use the coupon.this was not true I had to pay full price for it I got a whopping $3 off a pickaxe.There coupons are worthless!!!!

Review №74

Absolutely the best tool store out there. They have amazing deals on tool and all sorts of accessories. They always have copuns available for almost everything they sell. This patcaler location has some of the friendliest staff and also very knowledgeable staff. Their tools are not the highest of quality but you get what you pay for. They also offer warranties on most everything they sell, that are honored at every store nation wide. So if you need good tools on a budget this is the store for you. I would also recommend snagging a coupon book from the front before you wander on through. You might save yourself a bit more money.

Im a retired long-time Fix-It guy, heavy equipment mechanic, home Rebuilder, Etc.As you might guess I dont mean anything as far as tools go...But, there are certain things that you need once in awhile in this place is close by. The staff is always been friendly and helpful.One has to love all the coupons they send out and all the free stuff you get for going and buy them the one-off item you happen to need.The only downside is that sometimes the front end can get backed up you know at the registers. But what are you going to do.

Inexpensive products but they will break with regular use. Their Pittsburgh products do seem to be higher quality than most of the others but Ive still seen a lot of breakable weak Chinese Steel in things like the base of their engine hoists, breaker bars and such. Inexpensive tools if you dont use them too often. Most of their Pittsburgh tools are supposed to have a lifetime warranty. My favorite electronics from there is a laser thermometer and a laser level that has degrees of an angle readout. They have a lot of inexpensive digital multimeters as well. They have been pretty reliable so far in the 3 years Ive been buying there.
