Holiday Deals Lineup: TV Mount, Inverter Generator, and Workshop Gear Worth Watching

Introduction

A major holiday deals event at Harbor Freight has seen a late shakeup, with two of the most anticipated offers reportedly swapped out for different products. Based on the updated lineup, a heavily discounted welding cabinet and a hydraulic bottle jack appear to be replaced by an Armstrong full motion TV wall mount and a Predator 3500 watt super quiet inverter generator.

The good news: the rest of the list appears unchanged, and some of the replacements are strong deals in their own right. Here is a closer look at what changed, what is still available, and who each item actually makes sense for.

The Swap: Armstrong Full Motion TV Wall Mount

The first replacement takes the slot originally expected to go to a single welding cart or cabinet, including the high-end Vulcan cabinet at 40% off. Instead, the deal rotates to the Armstrong full motion TV wall mount, reportedly dropping from around $40 to $20.

That is a genuinely good price. At $40 this is already a solid wall mount, and at $20 it becomes an easy recommendation for anyone setting up a living room, bedroom, or even an RV interior. One owner runs a similar mount in both the living area and family room of an RV, with both units through-bolted to a shared wall, and reports it works great. If you need a wall mount, this is hard to pass up at the sale price.

The Upgrade Pick: Predator 3500 Watt Super Quiet Inverter Generator

The second change replaces the Pittsburgh hydraulic bottle jack with the Predator 3500 watt super quiet inverter generator, reportedly priced at $580 during the event. That is pre-pandemic pricing on a quiet inverter generator loaded with features, which makes it one of the more notable deals on the list.

For real-world context, one unit was handed to full-time RVers for a long-term test. It performed well in the short term and is still running strong, running the essentials in a large fifth wheel rather than the entire rig, including the air conditioner. Worth noting: that AC runs smoother with a soft start kit added, which is a sensible upgrade for most RV setups running off a generator. If you want a quiet generator with the bells and whistles, this deal is worth watching.

The Deal That May Be Gone: Pittsburgh Hydraulic Bottle Jack

The Pittsburgh hydraulic bottle jack at $60 was the second casualty of the update, and it may sting for shoppers planning structural or heavy lifting work. It was on one buyer’s shopping list specifically for lifting a corner of a house to do a little leveling, which gives a sense of the kind of loads this category is meant for.

If the swap is confirmed, anyone who had been counting on the $60 jack price may want to check in-store availability early. Deals like this are typically in-store only, so the stock question matters as much as the discount.

The Lost Deal: Vulcan Welding Cabinet

The most disappointing loss for workshop shoppers is the reported 40% off a welding cart or cabinet, which included the high-end Vulcan cabinet. That was one of the more exciting items on the original list, and losing it to a TV wall mount is a noticeable downgrade for anyone shopping for the shop rather than the living room. Unless the original deal returns, welding-focused buyers may need to wait for a future promotion.

What Else Is Still on the List

The upside is that nothing else on the list has reportedly changed. A few of the standouts:

• The Predator engine drops back down to $90, a price that has not been seen in a long time.
• A single wrench at 40% off, including torque wrenches and plier wrenches.
• Roughly 54% off on lights, plus discounts on tarps, a grinder at 40% off, and a winch.
• 40% off the Brun light.
• A headline deal: a 56-inch roll cap at $600, one many shoppers have been waiting for.

Remember these deals are all in-store, so plan a trip rather than expecting online pricing.

Buying Advice

If you have been holding out for a quiet inverter generator, the reported $580 price on the Predator 3500 watt unit is the standout of this update and the easiest call for RV owners or anyone needing backup power for essentials. If you have a TV to hang, the Armstrong mount at a reported $20 is nearly an impulse buy. Shoppers who wanted the welding cabinet or the $60 bottle jack should temper expectations and check their local store, since the lineup appears to have shifted due to stock or promotional priorities rather than anything being wrong with the products themselves.

Conclusion

This update looks less like a bait and switch and more like a stock or promotion shuffle. Two deals disappear, two solid replacements arrive, and the rest of the list holds steady, including the $90 Predator engine and the $600 56-inch roll cap many shoppers have been waiting for. If your shopping list leans toward power and workshop gear, call your local store before making the trip; if it leans toward generators or TV mounting, this lineup may have quietly gotten better for you.
