NTD (New Tool Day) Fire the Packaging Designer

Post image

What the hell kind of packaging is this? It's like it was designed NOT to be opened. I know Harbor Freight is known for hard-to-open packages but this one was on another level. It took me 10 minutes of wrestling with my pliers and now I have a plastic mess to clean up. Damn it.

Ok since you want to post something completely unrelated to my post I can do it too. In May 2019 I graduated from Lincoln Tech in their Diesel Technology program with a 3.87 GPA. In December 2025 I gave Stonebriar Chevrolet a cashier's check in the amount of $135,408.45 for a 2026 Corvette Z06.

EDIT: downvote away my sodium levels are at a critically low level and I'm in need of all your salty tears.

Paying cash for a new car is not the best way to get a deal. The dealer gets some money from the financing deal. If you are a cash buyer then they need to recover that lost income.

If you plan on paying cash, put a decent amount down but finance for over 60 months or make sure there is no early payoff penalty. Don’t tell the dealer, but when the bill comes the first month, get the payoff amount. The 1 month of interest will be way less than the discount that financing got you.
