About Us
Who We Are
Harbor Freight is America’s #1 Tool Store with more than 1600 locations nationwide. Founded in 1977 by Eric Smidt, the company began as a small mail-order tool business in North Hollywood, California. Over 75 million customers have come to Harbor Freight for our unmatched assortment of quality tools at an unbeatable value, including automotive, air and power tools, storage, outdoor power equipment, generators, welding supplies, shop equipment, hand tools, and much more.
Whatever You Do,
Do It for Less
For over 45 years, our reputation has been built on providing quality tools at the lowest prices. How do we do it? It’s actually very simple. We work directly with the factories–the same factories that produce the tools for many of our competitors–and bypass the middleman so we don’t have to pay them an additional markup. We then pass those savings on to our customers in the form of lower prices. High quality, lower prices–that’s value. And it’s why we can say, “Whatever You Do, Do It for Less at Harbor Freight.”
The Right Tool for the
Job at the Right Value
We sell over 7500 quality tools and products, so you’re sure to find the right tool with the features you need at an unbeatable value.
