Homeowners Will Love These New Harbor Freight Tools

Every homeowner knows that having the right tools can mean the difference between a smooth DIY project and a frustrating weekend struggle. Whether you're tackling small home upgrades, staying on top of routine maintenance, or scrambling to fix an unexpected issue, the right equipment saves time, money, and energy. Not to mention how they can also prevent further procrastination on that home project you've been telling yourself you'd get to next week (or month, or year).

Many of the tools here were first unveiled at SEMA 2024, a trade-only event held annually by the Specialty Equipment Market Association. Beyond SEMA, we will cover other budget-friendly tools from Harbor Freight that make home projects easier — whether you're cutting, cleaning, charging, or repairing. From powerful impact tools to heavy-duty cleaning equipment and backup power solutions, these picks are built to handle whatever your home throws at you.

Regardless of where you live, power outages are something every homeowner should always be prepared for. Harbor Freight's new Predator Power Station (available at 350 and 2000 running watts) is the ideal solution: Compact yet powerful, it delivers 3,500 charge cycles for up to 10 years of use and pairs seamlessly with solar panels for renewable charging. Combine it with Harbor Freight's Predator 100W Folding Solar Panel, and you've got a lightweight, portable emergency setup. This duo effortlessly keeps your phones, power tools, and small appliances running during blackouts or outside projects when an outlet is not accessible.

Early customer reviews express appreciation for its "nice low pitch hum" that's "not annoying or offensive." Another customer has already tested the power station with the companion 100-watt solar panel and found that "the connection is very easy with no need to purchase a charge controller."

Every homeowner tackling challenging projects knows the frustration of trying to access bolts and fasteners in tight spaces. Even if you can reach them, manual impact wrenches and ratchets often prove ineffective due to a lack of leverage (no space to move around equals no leverage to be found). Enter the Bauer 20V Cordless Right-Angle Impact Wrench. Its compact, L-shaped design easily fits into tricky spots like under sinks, behind furniture, or deep inside engine compartments.

With 2250 RPM (revolutions per minute) and 50 foot-pounds of torque, this wrench quickly handles tough bolts. Its two-speed setting and ergonomic paddle switch reduces hand fatigue, making your DIY tasks easier and more comfortable. Early customer reviews range from the staid "works good in tight spots" to "JUST WOW!!!!" Whether you're assembling furniture, fixing appliances, or working on your car, this tool will quickly become your new best friend.

Poor lighting can turn even simple DIY projects into frustrating chores, and this can often lead to costly (and potentially harmful) mistakes. The Braun 800 Lumen Rechargeable LED Shop Work Light solves this problem instantly, lighting up dark and gloomy garages and basements, attics, and outdoor areas so you can work with clarity and precision. 

Featuring an adjustable 360-degree rotating head, a magnetic base, a hook mount, and nine hours of light at a time, this hands-free work light is built for versatility. It's perfect for plumbing repairs in tight spaces, working under the hood of your car, or tackling detailed woodworking projects where clear light makes all the difference. Beyond home repairs, this small and versatile LED light can also serve as a great emergency backup light during power outages and for use in nighttime security checks. 

Keeping your home's exterior clean is a challenge without the right equipment. Dirt, grime, and mildew build up over time, making surfaces look worn and neglected. Whether you're prepping for an exterior paint job, staining a deck, or trying to clean your patio like a pro, the Predator 4400 PSI Power Washer offers commercial-grade cleaning power. Its high pressure adjustability means you can deploy it's high-flow rate of 4.2 GPM (gallons per minute) to clear out wide driveways or tone it down to give your car a cleansing blast.

Designed for heavy-duty use, this power washer is perfect for homeowners who want to maintain their property with minimal effort and maximum results. Customers praise it for its quick and easy 10-minute assembly, long hose, and ease of wheeling around given the engine placement within the frame. If you're tired of scrubbing stubborn stains, this tool will make deep cleaning a breeze.

For serious DIYers and home renovators, the Hercules Jobsite Table Saw stands out. Powered by a 15-amp motor delivering up to 4,800 RPM, you're sure to get smooth, precise cuts through plywood, trim, and various materials. Whether crafting bookshelves, trimming fence planks, or cutting drywall, this table saw boosts your productivity.

Despite its name, a good table saw isn't just power; it's about safety, precision, and usability. The Hercules Jobsite Table Saw's rack-and-pinion fence system makes straight, repeatable cuts safer and easier. This means you can get the job done safely and accurately, even if you're tackling larger home renovation projects. While you can't predict every challenge during home renovations, investing in a reliable, easy-to-use table saw helps keep your workflow smooth. 

With over 600 five-star customer reviews, many tout positives like price, quality, and durability. If you need a versatile and reliable table saw at a reasonable price, the Hercules is well worth considering.

A lush, well-maintained yard doesn't have to mean hours of backbreaking work. Harbor Freight's Bauer 20V 1-Gallon Chemical Sprayer takes the hassle out of weed control, fertilizing, and general landscaping, so you can keep your outdoor space looking its best with minimal effort. (Despite the product name containing the word "chemical," this doesn't stop you from swapping out synthetics for natural weed control solutions.)

Unlike traditional pump sprayers, this battery-powered model delivers a steady, even spray at the push of a button. Whether you're misting delicate flowers, feeding your lawn, or tackling stubborn weeds, its adjustable spray settings give you total control. Plus, the built-in measuring cup makes mixing solutions quick and foolproof.

Lightweight, cordless, and easy to maneuver, this sprayer is designed for homeowners who want pro-level results without the high price tag — $49.99 as of this writing. Customer reviews state that the sprayer exceeded expectations and that it deserved an "A+." So no more neglecting those critical garden maintenance tasks.
