Went in looking for house numbers but they didn't have any. They do however have a large selection of tools and other handy person stuff. I also saw a lot of garden stuff and decor. Some nice string lights. I walked out with nothing today but I did buy my snake a few months ago here. We often have our shower /sink clog due to our hair and no longer have a pay a plumber. Saving money is always good!! read more

I went to harbor freight April 12, 2026 located in Hays Kansas at 2918 Vine St suite 140. My son and I had taken a tool in, in hopes of having it replaced. It was a warrior step drill bit. The sales manager told us that because it was a free gift during a sale on 3/22/26 that it had no value and store policy did not permit an exchange(not exact wording). We explained that it was the first time using the drill bit and it was being used to pre drill roofing metal. I explained that once the bit pierced the metal the end of the bit literally shattered sending shrapnel flying causing damage to our qounset hut leaving a hole in it. I told him that you can clearly see that it was from defective materials. He looked at the broken tool and said hmm ive never seen that before. He basically said it didn't matter. He asked questions as though he did not believe what we were telling him. I asked for the stores legal information as it had caused damage when it shattered. He said that there was an incident report form that we could fill out. It took him several minutes to return to the register with the form. It was long enough my son and I had contemplated just leaving. When he returned to the register he asked a couple of questions and I inquired if the form could be brought home and returned or had to be filled out right then. "He" stated that he had to fill the form out. I told him that I had ice cream in my truck and I would have to do it later. I then asked how long I have to fill out the form. The form is 5 pages front and back so ten pages total. "He" said the sooner the better. He made the statement that "people use and abuse items and bring them back hoping to get new ones". Now whether he meant to insinuate that was what happened in our case or not my son and I took it as him of accusing us of doing that very practice. To sum this long story up I have a damaged out building(a steel building with a hole in it, a shattered drill bit that you can clearly see issues with the materials used to make it. The edge of the break was not sheered or torn but shattered. The metal was/is rusted and textured like sand paper. While the drill bit it's self didn't have a lifetime warranty many of the tools I have bought over the years have had one. When using this store I have found that a lifetime warranty no questions asked policy means being accused of intentionally damaging tools or even having to argue that a tool has a lifetime warranty when the package clearly states that it does. This is not the first time I've had issues with this store but it will most certainly be the last. read more

I used to buy from them but now they have made returns harder and with cheap Chinese tools I need to have a bit of ease that the item will work! They have lost my business, no more trash tools read more

Harbor freight- you just lost a customer forever. I purchased a Bauer air inflator in the summer and the trigger already broke. The store refused to exchange the product. I will never return read more

I always tried to put up positive reviews, but Harbor Freight in Ventura Ca needs to do better. I have been going to this store for years. Every time I come in this store there is one person at the register and long line of customer no employees on the floor to help you. After redoing the store a few different times to make it look better no one as made the customer service better. I know the employees are not the problem, it the people at the top. So if you go into Harbor Freight expect to have one person on the register and no one on the floor. Please hire more people Harbor Freight. More time is just as valuable as yours. read more

Joe in this store is AWESOME!!!!! He always goes out of his way to help me each time I am in the store. I stopped going to Lowes and Home Depot because of the excellent service I receive in this store. Thx Joe!!!! Helene Keddington read more

Hands down in 30 years of doing business with Harbor Freight this Store is by far the worst location I have ever been to. "Jeff" was not only offensive and rude, he was obnoxious. The items we purchased were not capable of doing the job they claim to have the competency to perform. We purchased 2 mixers, small one's anticipating a half sack of grout in each mixer. When installed the motors we're set to an average belt tension and the cheap little motor could not turn an empty drum. Backed off on tension and still the motor failed. Long story short "Jeff basically said it was unusual but transferred me to a cashier who said they would refund the purchase. When my crew arrived they were not well received and made to wait while "Jeff" took these toy mixers into a closed area. After some time Jeff produced a working mixer. Unfortunately, the belt tension would not allow the from to carry any weight and struggled to turn the empty drum. But, to "Jeff" these were now working units. And he insisted and proceeded to demand a restocking fee of 15%. ".Jeff" needs to respect his customers, we agreed to store credit in lieu of restocking fee to keep the peace...he agreed but only if we bought another larger version of the came garbage. Otherwise, no store credit. "Jeff" will learn about Credit Card Charge backs soon and all he needed to do is compromise with customers whom which their company spent approximately $500,000.00 in merchandise in 2019. "Jeff not smart enough to know that customers drive his business. Not saying I am done with Harbor Freight, but "Jeff is not getting a dime out of me and AMEX WILL CHARGE BACK HIS RIDICULOUS SELF IMPOSED POLICY. Thanks "Jeff" we will be spreading the word like wildfire. You lost more than you would have gained. Don't buy the garbage belt drive concrete or grout mixers, they are pure junk. David read more

I came to return hedge trimmers half an hour after the store closes on Sundays. When I approached the front door, Richard, sales associate saw me and opened the door when I asked if I could still return the item tonight. He did issue a return so that I wouldn't have to make a special trip. For me who is eighty years old such gesture of kindness is more than just appreciated. Harbor Freight store in Ventura on Victoria is always courteous and very professional. I buy and like great majority of their tools. read more

Are you into tools and like the smell of them? Then head over here. Conveniently located off Victoria, right next to the. $.99 store. Small store but packed with EVERY tool your garage is need for or you may just really want. The prices are less expensive than other big brand stores but may not be as great of quality. Checkers are nice and efficient, they're on a checking out mission and move the line quickly so it's a really fast check out. An additional bonus? We get their emails and mailers so we have a little stash of freebies that come in handy when filling stockings, who knew kids and old alike get so excited for mini flashlights? Haha. Plus they have their parking lot sale worth checking out ( about twice a year?). Gift cards available. read more

Great place for inexpensive tools and supplies. You get what you pay for, but sometimes you don't need the very best. My go-to for things I need in the moment such as zip ties, heat shrink, and other little things that are 10x more at regular hardware stores. read more

Harbor Freight staff and management are extremely professional. I had the pleasure of doing a large order of over 12k for our shop and worked primarily with the manager named Joe. He was truly an expert manager and his general demeanor was extremely professional and helpful. The overall store was extremely clean and well put together. If your looking for decent tool and an affordable price this is definitely the place to go. Well done to the staff in Ventura. read more

I called for a battery charger and they put me on hold and then line was disconnected so I rushed from Oxnard to Ventura and I was one minute late with money in hand and they wouldn't make an exception considering that the associate left me hanging read more

Always get in and out fast, checkers are nice. The coupons are the best and you can never have enough free mini flashlights. Went there a couple of days ago and a big redhead bearded guy named Taylor, I think was super helpful. Definitely reccomend as a quick inexpensive solution for tools and other household goods. read more

Good place to buy inexpensive tools and accessories like gloves and ropes. Some of the items they have are not of the highest quality so you have to pick and chose what you are willing to compromise the quality for the low prices. I'm not willing to pay $35 for gloves at green thumb so I buy them there for $1.99. They last for a few uses but for that price you can get a few pair. I always cut the 20% coupon that's in the local paper and they give you a cheap gift like a flashlight or measuring tape. The measuring tape is actually kind of nice. The flashlight not so much. read more

See all

This Harbor Freight location is well maintained, clean and from my experience has a pretty helpful staff. I'm always amazed that when I ask where something is they always seem to know with pinpoint accuracy. Most all of the tools are made over seas, so you get what you pay for. Good tools for the average consumer, I like that I receive 20% off coupons in the mail for a single item even if it's on sale. I've used several of these. If you need one for something you're buying just Google "harbor freight coupon" and you can use one a day on a item of your choice. read more

Don't believe the website inventory. We drove all the way to Ventura because the website showed inventory. They had a floor model, but wouldn't sell it. We had to drive all the way to Valencia to get what we wanted. We finally got what we bought home, and the parts don't fit together. Cobbing it together- you shouldn't have to drill out steel because parts won't fit! read more

So-my husband was in there earlier today. The cashier was on the work phone the whole time. He barely talked to my husband. My husband asked if they gave a Veterans discount. The cashier seemed put out that my husband asked-said no and stayed on the phone. My hubby probably won't be back. read more

We come to Harbor Freight for everything from tarp clasps to generators to tool boxes. There is plenty of parking, but this place is always busy so you may have to park a bit further away than you like . They send coupons in the mail which can be very helpful. read more

Early this was first customer at 8am,waited till the store opened when i could of went next door to Walmart cheaper but since im a loyal customer and i appreciate regular care received and thats why i go back as i walked in there a female staff looked me up and down very disrespectful then called back up then had another staff on me the whole time im shopping there following me every single move which was very uncomfortable, i headed toward her to ask about the catalogue for membership discounts, she handed me an old copy with prices even higher than the shelf and asked her maybe it was a mistake, she responded in a very sarcastic disrespectful way again then turned around and start laughing with the other who i found out was her manager, then when i'm done and about to pay the way i was treated was humiliating disrespectful trashy didn't honor non of my coupon and said that they were for next coming holiday people in line were laughing and looking at me very funny like i was some dumb person, it was one of the worst experiences i ever had shopping anywhere, i consider my self one of the best costumers you guys have as i do own every single item you guys sell and some of them still in packages never opened but purchased atleast 6 months ago, and it will be my pleasure to send you pictures of my garage as its fully equipped with your items. i think to be judged and labeled by the way you dressed or look is very disrespectful, uneducated, racist and ignorant. i hope Harbor Freight isn't one of those business that hire and train employees to give that picture or even allow this kinda behavior in there plat form, the girls name was Ms Damaris, i was treated so bad that i ended up walking away without asking for my free item that included with your purchase, its not that i need free from anybody but its a nice way to represent and advertise your business when one of my friends ask "where did you get that flashlight man" and your respond "HARBOR FREIGHT you should check them out they cool stuff for great prices". i come from along history of retail business and one of the best and strongest ways of advertising is a word of mouth and recommendations. i really hope you guys take care of this issue and maybe spend more time on training managers to not allow this kind of behavior specially when their standing right there, you guys feel free to check me out thru my member shit and see my history as i spend a lot of money with you and never complain or return broken or defected items i experienced just to not deal with the headache. read more

It is what it is cheap tools at a cheap price. Probably the most inept checkers I've ever experienced no sense of urgency at all. There can be only one line open to the back of the store and still there's rush with those people. read more

Staff that know what their talking about and a huge selection of reasonably priced tools.

I have been in a lot of harbor freight stores and this is the worst for customer service. With four people in line they close registers. Do not go to the store unless you have unlimited time to stand in line. read more

HFT is a great store. A lot of the power tools stack up with better brands. They have a great warranty policy and I have never been disappointed. I have bought a lot of hand tools from the store. I use the coupons and shop it monthly. Some of the items I have owned for over 20 years. The big store in Camarillo is a dream. read more

Never had a bad experience at this Harbor Freight! Knowledgable staff that always goes the extra mile. Just around the corner from my home & business...which is a huge plus, but I'd still go there either way. I like that they have decent coupons too. read more

We decided to use a tool cabinet for spices and found that HF was the only outfit with one that fit in the spot. We called the Ventura store to make sure it was in stock and brought it home to find that we could not unlock the 2 top drawers. I called the phone number in the owners manual, and a sincere and straightforward guy asked for the version number on the manual. We could not solve the problem over the phone so we trundled it back to the store and asked to speak to the manager. We asked that if the drawers could not be unlocked, that we wanted to exchange it for one that worked. The manager Jeff was patient, confirmed that the lock did not work, and brought out another one. It has working drawers and is now the coolest spice cabinet ever. Also freed up space in other kitchen drawers. read more

I like the selection at this store, but the customer service stinks! There is no sense of urgency at the checkouts. It's seems they are more attentive to the customers on the phone instead of the ones standing right in front of them. I see lots of staff walking around the store. Why can't they open another check stand or take the phone calls? read more

The lines are always too long. Good selection but management is to cheap to hire cashiers:( read more

Great tools and supplies. Especially disposable tools or ones you use and dispose of them. The process of paying for your purchase can range from normal to absolute horror story. I will never go there again on weekend mornings, especially Sunday. The clerk was completely lost doing an exchange and the assisting manager completely dropped the ball. She took around 45 minutes to process an exchange of items and in so doing kept the 10 yard long line of customers waiting, instead of taking the exchange customer to another vacant checkout line and letting the clueless clerk process the simple purchases the rest of us had. Never on Sunday, and probably not Saturday. read more

It's not always true that"you get what you pay for." Here at Harbor Freight you find less that genuine quality and Pay less than what you would expect at Lowe's or Home Depot or Sears. So if You don't mind waiting with 5 or 6 people in front of you, and you can easily find time time to return the junky ball valve or electric drill that smoked and would not work the very first time used, perhaps you 'll keep giving them another try.After more than 6 years of giving them one more try because they are cheap and have often a lot to choose from I have had enough. Those of us near 70 know that all tools can't be "Snap on quality"But we also believe company's should hire enough people at the registers. They never have enough help on hand .I found a hose for 19.95 and a hose with the same specs (medium duty) at Wal- Mart for $ 14.00. They talk about great return poliicy but who wants to spend time returning weak quality made not working goods for more weak quality made perhaps troublesome goods.?If you need a one time tool yeah maybe . Stick to cast iron pry bars and 4 pound sledges.TIP-Veterans with VA ID or veteran on drivers license get 10% off most everything at home Depot and Lowe's and also ace hardware. read more
