I don't think you're in the minority on this one. I had a hard time figuring it out a few weeks ago, I have a pic of the coupon, but not the free light coupon. I think this will backfire on HF unless they make it much easier to follow. If I get rejected for a coupon, I'll pass on buying. HF has raised it's prices on a number of things, the 20~25% coupons are a must now.

Hey Bear, one thing you forgot to mention is that if you purchase a HF product at regular price and the coupon comes about within 30 days of that purchase you can take your receipt and coupon back to the store and receive that cost savings in ways of cash back or in store credit. I learned that from one of the sales associates. I also tried it out with my Yukon rolling tool cabinet which i picked up on preorder for $299, with taxes it came out to $358, signed up for inside track club which they gave it to me for free (didn't question why or how, I just rolled with it) ...one week later the $30 off any Yukon coupon came out, took my receipt back with coupon BAAMM!!!... received my cost savings in hand.. Just thought I'd share..

Good call on the corded tools. They’re old technology, the secrets are out on how to make ‘em, and they just work. They’re simple, no frills tools, but their recip saw and angle grinders are impossible to beat for the price. Sure, if you use it every day, get a higher quality one, but for weekend warriors and diyers, they’re a solid choice. Heck, the angle grinder I paid $14 for as a one use throwaway still works perfect 5 years later.

The best tool harbor freight sells is the high position motorcycle lift. Rated at 1100 pounds and lifts nearly 30 inches high. I use them for small engines,welding tables,lifting heavy items into pickup beds. I recently loaded and unloaded a refrigerator by myself into a dodge RAM. They went up in price, but two of them take the place of a lift table for a huge bike. I figure a bike you are twisting wrenches on is too much a strain after maybe 500 pounds, so buy two and stretch a platform between them for safety . Use good judgement

Red: I am ALWAYS super nice at HF, to everyone. To say they are nice, over the top helpful is accurate, always. Several; times I have called to see if something is in stock, explain that I am an hour drive away (I am), every time they pull it and hold it with my name on it, even without me asking !! Recently I printed out 4-page 'coupon page' on 1 double sided. Knew the bar code would be too small to read or scan I wrote the coupon bar code next to the items I intended to buy. Woman at counter almost jumped over counter to hug me! Next time I was in she 'remembered' me, made a comment and somehow I got the 20% coupon off of all 7 items I purchased. Yes, it PAYS to be nice. But I am not nice, respectful or polite, cooperative for that reason, it's because that's how I want to be treated myself. I guess it's a pay-it-forward that works, naturally.

I grabbed a replacement for my neighbor, and also grabbed one for myself. That was over 15 years ago. Still have my 1" ratchet with socket set, extenders, and breaker bar.

I purchased an extra blade not knowing that there was a blade in the box, which didn't come with a new one. It was a pleasant surprise. The only things that were missing from the box were the plastic screw on cap for the bevel control and the wrench to change the blade. There was also some scratches on the plastic, wood shaving on the tool, but everything worked fine. It was a great deal.

When I was an apprentice mechanic, I was never ashamed of having Taiwan tools. Yes, they were at times frustrating when they broke. An old school mechanic told me, " The tool does not make the mechanic, the mechanic makes the tool" The moral of the story is, buy the cheap stuff at first to get your experience. Replace the broken cheap stuff (each piece 1x1) with good stuff off the tool truck . The reason is you can take that cheap stuff back and the individual tool WILL BREAK AGAIN. If you replace the broken (1tool) with 1 quality tool it ended that issue. BONUS, when you get the experience to be able to afford the high quality stuff, you will always need the 2nd one that you bought because the cheap broke.(for no one knows why)

If I want to return an item simply because I changed my mind, I always make sure to tell the clerk that "there was nothing wrong with it; I didn't even open it. I just decided to do something else." (Plus of course, if I'd bought several different sizes/types of an item and then chosen the best one for my specific needs, I always make sure to keep the remaining items very clean, pack them back up very neatly, etc., so that the store can simply put them back on the shelf just as they are.) That way I never get charged a restocking fee. Probably the restocking fee would not apply if the item was defective, either? I mean, if you got the item home and it either broke under normal circumstances or didn't work as it was supposed to, you should be entitled to a full refund?

I've returned several pumps/sprayers - it is a very easy process with HF.

Off topic and late. But working on a gas powered compressor today. The Briggs&Stratton on it quite. Had Honda needed gas tank and muffler. Just wanted to see and yep. The u.s.a Milwaukee made fit China Honda. Same parts just different branding. Really. Think I'm going to go get a predator now just because

Another location for coupons, though a limited quantity, is in print magazines. Often times the prices in the print magazine were better than the coupon book shipped to home or in the store.

Issue with hand tool warranty. Brought a broken socket back only to find out that I have to return the whole set of sockets. Also I have a Chicago Electric cordless circular saw that was discontinued. Found this out when I went to buy a battery for tool. I was very surprised that the was no longer supported. I was not very happy with HF, and inclined not to purchase their tools.

Lifetime warranty thing. My dad used to work for Console Energy and worked on equipment. They used ONLY craftsman tools which had lifetime warranty. If a tool broke or anything the company would just throw it in a pile and say "Have at it" to they workers. He would take tools in to Sears and get a new one for free and keep it. It was a "write-off " for the company. There was stuff in our garage that I know he never even used (sockets bigger than my leg, etc). Not all his tools were from there but it helped his collection. If you couldn't find something to work in his garage it probably didn't exist.

I ALWAYS buy the 2 year "warranty" on power tools from Harbor Freight. It's cheap insurance in case you get the 1 out of 100000 bad ones. Last fall, a friend bought the big Predator V-twin engine (22hp?) to re-power his garden tractor. We installed it and ran the break in over the winter. Unfortunately, it blew up 1/2 way through tilling his garden this past spring. Luckily, he took my advice and bought the 2 year plan on it. We drained the gas and oil and our closest store exchanged it, no questions asked. He did have to buy another plan on the exchange but he's ok with that. He also understands the whole 1 out of 100000 bad one thing and the exchange engine hasn't given him a hint of trouble. He's even talking about buying another one to re-power his golf cart over the coming winter.

I hate how the only free coupon for a while gas been the light. I have too many l, I used to use the battery ones all the time for my kiddos electronic toys and what not. The magnet bar and tarps were awesome also even though theyre all cheap but its still not something i would have just bought

Dad bought the biggest heaviest vise from them. Attached it to his bench. Went to work. Five minutes later the body shattered into 6 pieces. One to never take back anything ever in his life. He spent fours hours trying to fix it like a puzzle. Two days later I found it tossed on the metal pile

One would be stunned, STUNNED, by the runtime of a corded saw in California only if there are no PSP shutoffs when using it. A cordless saw gets much better run time under these situations.

To anyone watching now, not all Harbor freights will further discount the “as is” items! I work at a store in western NY that strictly will not lower the price of “as is” merchandise and employees will get in trouble if they attempt to do so.

Thank you. I'm at Harbor Freight about once a week. I absolutely love that store. I didn't know about the friends and family coupon. But my biggest discounts have been from catching the marked down/open box stuff and being nice and friendly with the manager.

Perhaps just maybe they could add something to the membership benefits. Maybe they can add when you become a member your receipts in the computer so the idea of keeping a receipt specially, when they’re disappearing, whatever lake need a receipt for it’s on Madison computer track that would be an awesome benefit and possibly possibly I might even a little extra for that feature it’s always so different. I want to Ashland and have them in a bag and other things not as pristine as the day that you purchased. Just a thought.

20% restocking fee for items that don't work should not apply. I purchased a 5 gal air tank and it would not accept air. Followed instructions & it just didn't work. HF tried to charge me 20% restocking for a defective item I couldn't use. Challenged them to try and add air and they wouldn't. I spoke to a manager and he finally waived it. I honestly could not use it. Also at time of purchase I was not made aware of 20% restocking fee. Tag was missing on shelf but stated on receipt after it was bought.
