Current Harbor Freight Catalogs

is their web store, is their B&M web site. They also have just to make things confusing.

doesn't show prices.

[Jon Danniken]

Aye, I have noticed that as a well, but fortunately they show up more frequently. There was a 25% one a year or so ago, which I used it to get my

4x6 bandsaw for $150. That one was well-appreciated.

Also just about every magazine, like Wood, PM, PS etc have a HF add in the back with a 15 or 20% coupon in them also.

Can't remember exactly, but 'tweren't much; I think $5? What the hell; at that price, still a steal.

Last week I bought a mouse pad at Best Buy for 99¢.

They asked if I wanted the extended warranty.

I asked them if I looked like David Nebenzahl.

[Oren]

I always read extended warranties for mouse pads. The clerk can allow me to read them, as I hold up the cashier line.

Ouch!

[Stormin Mormon]

That's bizarre. I get coupons regularly. And frequently, too.

[Stormin Mormon]

HF has a 5.95 per order (might be more, now) per order fee. Free shipping over $50. So, they will free freight your heavy item.

[Stormin Mormon]

Me, three! The sawzalls go on sale for twenty bucks. I've been tempted to buy one as a spare, but the one I have I use so seldom. Can always buy one later. I've got spares of so many items, already.

[Stormin Mormon]

That's priceless. Thanks for the laugh.

[Stormin Mormon]

So many exclusions. Hardly worth the $19.95 warranty.

I picked up one of the cheapo electric ones for when a task would kill all my batteries too fast. Blade takes some fiddling to get placed right and has to be locked in with a hex wrench. Hey, it worked good for cutting some bush roots below ground.

Hrmphh. I never get any coupons either. [catalogs on occassion- mostly from the online store, not local fliers]

I frequent the local store-- I've ordered online. I've filled out the form and given them an email address that works.

I was sure it was regional-- but you're only a couple hours west of me, so who knows. [I'm near Albany & if I recall correctly, you're in Rochester. .. NY, right?]

I don't see where those coupons save any more than their regular sale catalogs.

[Jon Danniken]

Regular price for the orange angle grinder (91223) is $29.99. Sale price is $19.99. Coupon price is $17.99.

That is one example of many.

If it isn't on sale, the 15%/20% coupons make it (or anything else not on sale) available at a discounted price.

Shop smart, or spend more; it's your choice.

I got the swivel head sheet metal shear for a project. You have to loosen the allen wrench screw to turn the head, but that's OK. Like you say, it gets "a" job done. Well worth the money.

Their sawzall blades are cheap enough, you can burn them out, cutting roots, and not get too worried.

OK, I guess I deserved that.

In my defense, , I should say that I don't suggest that anyone else buy these extended warranties. I bought mine in a moment of weakness: I hadn't bought any HF power tools for a long time. It looked like a great deal (I always tell people: $20 for a sawzall? How could I

*not* buy one?), but I blame the FUD that I'd heard about these tools for my wanting to hedge my bet against the tool wearing out.

Had I to do it over again, I wouldn't waste money on such a warranty.

[Oren]

Me neither. I would invest in Wheat pennies.
