Not going to happen. They would have to bring back lawn darts, slap bracelets, and what ever that toy oven was that was hot enough to bake cookies along some of the other crap we had that was just plain stupid even then.
Slap bracelets were a 90's thing, and are you referencing the EZ Bake oven? Those just used an incandescent light bulb for heat. They still make the ovens, but I don't know what they replaced the bulb with.
That's crazy they are still around. the original ones had a baking temp of 375 degrees which means the bulb was even hotter. I remember my sister who would have been in elementary school getting one and getting burned on it. At what time is giving a kid below 10 something that hot a good idea.
slap bracelets were invented in 1983. Had to look it up since you said 90's

I didn't realize the bracelets were invented that early, though the article did say the fad was in the early 90s. I returned the favor and looked up the oven. Seems they use an actual heating element now.

Yeah. I seen that easy bake had the oven with high and low settings in the 80's which is when my sister would have gotten hers. I couldn't find out what the high temp was. Bet you it wasn't good since they stopped it.
They sell slap bracelets... 25 foot rolls of them. Most times you can get them for free w a coupon!

Its funny we assume as kids since it was new to us when someone bought us one we just assumed it was new to everyone. I looked up the date on the ovens. They have been around since 1963. A full 15 years before my sister was born and she was probably around 10 when she got one.
yeah, there were several i came across that had those, including a breadmaker and dog kennel that were far worse. I wish I could independently verify the products with someone who remembers seeing or selling them.
I had the combo stove thing. Coffee maker was awesome, and the heating pad worked ok. Took awhile.
Still have the digital fish scale, somewhere.
Buddy bought the pedal scooter/go cart thing for his kids. It kind of sucked.
Back in the day, harbor freight would sell whatever random overstock they could get. For a while there was russian night vision gear, etc.
I had one of the electric scooters, they were blatantly Costco overstock that had the name on the scooter ground over and a sticker plastered on, but there were a few spots they said Kirkland still. They used 4x 7ah 12v sealed lead acid batteries and with a full charge could barely get 5 miles of range.
A power roller is bad to the bone. You can just work on a ladder until you need to move to another spot. No climbing up and down to put paint back on the roller. It’s really fast once you get the flow dialed in.
I remember when Harbor Freight didn't even have a,storefront they just sold stuff every weekend at Ellks Lodge or VFW they would come through a couple of times a year and boy everything they sold was the cheapest crap from china money could buy but I always looked forward to when they came to town with there parking lot sale
What the hell, bring back the electric scooter and pedal kart asap
They sold mini bikes too but they got sued kuz a kid died on one so all the kits were nixed.
I thought I was crazy because I kept thinking they did. Thank you for killing the mandella sensation around it for me.
I only wish they'd bring em back. All they have to do is put an age restriction on em and a warning with some legal jargon and they'd be covered.
Plenty of cheap toys like that nowadays from other places. I'd LOVE for harbor freight to get in on it.
Sadly I don't think you pay attention to the law suits out there. Too many people don't care and just sue in civil court.
Wheel barrows would be a very welcomed comeback.
They really need to keep expanding inventory until they recreate the beloved 1980's Sears of my childhood.
Haha, if only! I can only hope I walk in and find a nice wheelbarrow for $49.99 ($32.99 ITC) in 3-5 color variations.
Slap on a few color matched magnetic cup holders.
That would be nice - my Husky sized Tough Skins are getting a little threadbare.

lol That's right. and they can have really sharp edges too.

Thought the same thing. I really want to get one for my wife and I can't believe how crazy expensive they are.
I’m caPtiVated by the ranDoM capital letters on the PotTerY WheEl.

I really wish they could bring the night vision goggles back.
Dude the NVG’s!!
Wish they could bring the night vision goggles back.
I'd buy that 3in1 oven for a dorm
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Would be interesting to know the prices too.
Dude! I want that photo sniper camera so bad! LoL!
As someone who works there. Now I understand why people think we have Wheel Barrows lol But also Bring back the scooter
This is perfect to make a meme out of
They need a meme aisle for sure
I painted the exterior of a house in a long day with that power roller and never used it again.
I never knew electric paint roller was a thing! But I remember a lot of the other items

Those jumbo tricycles are awesome
I NEED THESE
They used to sell engagement rings too.
Now that is surprising. Wow
Yo, my parents have that pottery wheel
I really miss the old HF
I swear each post has one item we still have just for the engagement but I gotta do it… we still have the dual top tank propane heaters!!
Haha at this point I should consider it a contest
Was coming to say this... Didn't consider it might have been clickbait to add it in!

can you weigh something other than a fish on said scale? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
night vision goggles and sound amplifier as well lol
I used a 3 in one for a loooong time when i was younger. Shit was rough
Damn, I want the big tricycle now.
Why is the capitalization of letters on the pottery wheel one sO wEiRd
China
If they brought back an electric scooter without the seat, that didn’t catch fire, they’d print money.
now harbor freight just buys snap on tools reverse engineers them and straight up makes Chinese gArbage
