Theyre great for in a pinch. Anytime I need electrical tape, caution tape, zip ties or screws, theyre my go to place!

Always best place to buy my tarps when doing projects

Most of my experiences have been positive they need better inventory management for out of stock products.

Polite and helpful staff . Love going there. . Always get more than I went for . Lol

The staff at the Altoona Harbor Freight store are very courteous and friendly. We have always had an employee ask us if we needed hell finding anything. They would always thank us for our business.

Love this place, do your research and check reviews, remember you have a limited time to return if you have issues.

First time at this one always seem to find helpful folks and variety of prices and items

Always leave with 15 things I didnt go in for, but they are 15 awesome things. Lol love this place

Me and my dad went to buy a Shop fan for our garage. It was about 130$ but works AMAZING. We also bought a Titanium Welder and it is AMAZING as well. The prices are very good for what u get. The quality is amazing as well! They even helped us load our stuff into our Jeep. Overall an amazing place!

Awesome pricing. I could spend about 1000 there pretty quick !

This is such an awesome store. Whether you are there for a specific item or you go in to look around, there is so much to Harbor Freight at a fraction of the cost as big box stores. There is usually a coupon that can be found in the mail for 20% off an item or for a free item with a purchase. Employees were very helpful when I was there. One helped find the right size tarp and the checkout employee was super nice. I highly recommend Harbor Freight.

They are very respectful salesmen. I have had an amazing experience at harbor freight. The salesman were very delightful to have to talk to. Salesman Brady was amazing and very helpful. This was a great time I had there and would love to come back again. Thank you for everything.

I go here often with my dad they have lots of tools, and everything youll ever need and have flyers and give coupons often.

They will talk to the he guys, more than a women. But the store is always clean and they say hello as soon as you walk in the door.

Great prices,large selection of tools. Could have used more cashiers.

Has just about everything you need to repair, build thing. It also has a great supply of tools.

Love the place they always have everything I need and it is very cost-efficient

Love shopping in herberfreight

Always a great deal, nice people work and always offer help if needed.

Large variety of products, very fairly priced. Not the top of the line items, but I have personally never had an issue.

Not the best stuff, But they have almost everything tool you would ever need

I love Harbor Freight! It is likeba candy store for the handy man!I love the coupons that are always in their fliers. I love the free items that they often have. They are not always top quality items but they are free.The workers are friendly and helpful.Now if they would just open one in the State College area.

When nobody else had what I wanted, they had what I wanted.

Great tools at a fraction of what the big hardware stores charge. Usually have good coupons to. My go to store.

Love this store

My husband just went into price a few things and they were a little too high on it.

Great buys always

Some tools are decent for the price. Some you get what you pay for.

My favorite tool store and the staff is always helpful.

Once again, they advertise something that I need. This time instead of wasting the drive off the mt to find out they dont have it, I called. Nope out of stock. But were getting a truck tomorrow. This is a story Ive heard time and time again. Bait and switch. And it works had I driven down Id have probably found something to but so as not to waist a trip. Very disappointed but not surprised.

Some of there stuff doesnt hold up to its manufacture claims

Our experience at Harbor Freight in Altoona, PA was excellent! Our salesman Conner was extremely helpful, courteous, polite, and went above and beyond a salesmens duty! I highly recommend everybody to shop there! Thanks Conner for all your help!!!

Awsome

Good variety of tools and accessories. Great service.

Love this place ...I was lost cause the moved things around ...But u can always find someone to help u!!!

Love this place

I always find what Im looking for

This isnt the best harbor freight as far as staffing, but the store itself is pretty much standard HF fair. This one does seem to run out of popular items (jacks, jack stands, welders) more often than Johnstown.

Love this store. The customer service is good and they are helpful whenever I have any questions about product.

Great selection of tools. Quality is pretty good. Prices are phenomenal!!

Like most Harbor Freights it has low prices on good tools. Yes there is a few bad apples, but that is also with the the big brick and mortar stores. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. I suggest signing up for their fliers so that you can get mega coupons. Like 25% off one item. Lowes and Home Depot doesnt do that.

Typical Harbor Freight Tools. Good Selection and prices, just make sure you use your coupons. I always just google the coupons and bring them up on my phone and the cashier scans them right from my phone. Be sure to check out the return and damaged area. Sometimes you can find some good deals

Baseline: The tools here are not top shelf, but that is okay. Usually you can find the tool you need for a job here at a lower price than the products sold at a big-name store. Sometimes there isnt much price difference, so you have to weigh your choices, do you want to save dollars, or do you want a high-quality ergonomic version of the same tool? Often, on a functional level, the more crude tools at Harbor Freight are just as capable of completing the job as a fancy tool from a fancy retailer.

Always good prices compared to other home stores for tools.

This is a great store that carries a wide variety of tools at affordable prices. Some of the tools may not be some of the highest quality, but they are great for those who will only use the tools a few times a year. The staff at this store is also very helpful and friendly.

Great tools at great prices. Good ValPac coupons for even better deals. Lots of odd things not available at the big boxes. Defiantly worth a visit.

Terrible. They dont have NEAR the stuff they used too......

Disappointed in the changes. No flyers inside store. Customer service not as friendly.

Nothing special. Typical Harbor freight, clean and good selection. You can buy some very inexpensive tools here( that are functional and good for emergencies),you get what you pay for. You can also get some very good tools at a discount price if you buy their more expensive brands, even then they are way less expensive than everyone else.

My husband and I love getting tools here. They are inexpensive and we always have a coupon for 20% off one item and they always have a free item with a purchase.

Good inexpensive store if you need basic stuff

Toys for big boys

The best ever

Helpful

The employees are always helpful. The only problem I have is with this one location. I have to wait until I make a trip out of town to stop at another store. Ive been trying to buy a couple power tools and they never have them in stock. If they have a display model you would think in 3 months they would get them in stock at some point. They said the items they get in are computer generated. I think they need to update their system. I guess I will have to make time to stop at another store to get what I want.

Great sales for tools you need and dont want to spend a lot of money.

Was charged more than the sign said

Clean store, and helpful staff.

Harbor Freight always has the tool you need on hand.

Good place to get weekend warrior tool. Good tools but no where even close to pro grade tools.

Best prices for lifetime warrantied tools.

Husband loves the place

Went to see if they had what I needed and they did. Staff is friendly and helpful

Fun store

Harbor Freight has good tools at great prices. I usually buy tools off them for quick jobs.

Affordable tools

Solid place to find what you need

Helpful & Friendly Staff! The only negative experience I ever had at the Altoona Store was the checkout line was really long and I dont know why they didnt open up another register too speed things up?

Bargain price tools

Tool up blacksmithing as a hobby. This is only tool store in the area that sold anvils. If you need one get the 55 pound one. Light enough to transport but strong enough to take the shock of the hammer.

Clean store, Friendly service they were remodeling when I was there so things werent quite as organized as usual. But I found what I was looking for at a good price.

A little different this time in, changed alot around. But still got some good buys

Love the specials and coupons!

WOW... I wish I could write 2 reviews. I went to Harbor Freight specifically to pick up casters for a large piece of furniture in my home. Upon arriving, I found the store to be clean and well-organized. It was fairly busy but the shelves were stocked and layed out in a manner that made it easy to find what you need. As I sauntered in a serpentine fashion through the aisles, I was asked on two occasions by two separate male employees if I was finding everything, and if there was anything that they could do for me. To this I replied yes, I believe Im doing fine. Thank you. The one gentleman in turn responded, No, thank YOU. This statement, for a brief moment, restored (to some extent) my faith in humanity.I found my casters and about 150 bucks worth of other items that I needed. I proceeded to the register to find two women behind it sorting money. As I deposited my items on the counter, I was not acknowledged in any way. About halfway through emptying my cart, I asked, who I assumed to be the one in charge, Is this register open? Are you going to be able to ring me out here? To which the response was a head nod and back to whatever conversation they were having (not work related).When they were done with the cash count or whatever they were doing, the younger girl looked at me and said Yourre gonna have to go over there, Im going to lunch. I responded by saying Thats why I asked if this register was open before I emptied my cart, to which she nodded at me. I dont think she was paying attention she said. The older woman then chimed in with No I wasnt paying attention.... huh... great.I packed everything into my cart and went to another register. A third girl. As I emptied my cart for the second time, the cashier never raised her eyes to acknowledge my existence. She just scanned my items while telling a story to the older cashier (who at this time was doing nothing but leaning on her register).The story was about her boyfriend (I think) and how he was having cavities filled at the dentist, two at a time over multiple dentist visits, because every single one of his teeth had cavities. She attributed this persons tooth rot to the fact that he hadnt had dental insurance in some time. I dont know about you, but dental insurance doesnt brush and floss your teeth on a daily basis or have any bearing on a persons personal hygiene regimen.Anywho, the story she was telling was repulsive and went on and on and on... only pausing to tell me my total. I paid with a card and she handed me my receipt and said Here. ........I stopped to see if she was going to say Thank You, or Come Again, or Have a nice day... Nothing. So I made it a point to say Thank you so much. She just dismissively turned and continued talking to the other girl about this person and his rotting teeth.I felt dismissed, I felt insulted, and I felt unappreciated. You wanna know why brick and mortar is going down the tubes? Its things like this. I feel bad for the gentlemen that have to try and compensate for the aloof and inept manner in which the rest of their employees deal with customers. Shame.

The employees are always helpful and willing to help you find things.

Good tools at great prices. Staff is very helpful!

Whats the deal with this place girl kept following me around telling me they are closing in ten minutes, ok I get it just get away from me, customer service sucks. I can find tools other places with far better quality.

Need something to pound, screw, saw, or any type of tool at a low price then this is the place to shop. Discounts offered all the time. Check out their Sunday adds in the paper, web site or get on their mailing list. Not the greatest but you get what you pay for. Good Luck.

Get a cart the employees tell you

I enjoy going to Harbor Freight, whichever they have good sales on and also just too walk around to see the latest items but, it could a little bit cleaner and organized too.

Love harbor freight

I always enjoy going here and I always spend way too much money just cant stop finding the good deals

Everything you need

The have coupons for free stuff when you buy stuff but they are always out of the free stuff

What can I say it’s Harbor freight. Every town needs one but the store is very friendly and very well-stocked.

Cheap tool but work

Everything I needed was there at a decent price.

Great place for cheap/good tools & consumables!

I love going there for tools and other things the sale prices are great .

Was proud of myself.found everything on my own

Cheap tools that I needed to get a job done. Didnt want to pay the high price for a tool I would use 1 or 2 times. Able to get the same tool here for a fraction of the cost. If you want quality tools Id buy name brand. For one time use tools this is the place I shop!

Always cheap and good service

Helpful employees

Have good deals at times but dont seem to have enough in stock

Decent selection and low prices. Helpful staff.

A great place to get hand tools, for home repair, mechanic use, carpentry. Lots of coupon sales. Outdoor novelties.

Good place for fair priced tools an even if some arent top quality.

Got what I needed fast - in and out!

Got what you need.

Bug selection. If your needing anything that has to do with home projects, car projects, or really anything this is the place to go.
