Parade Magazine is a Sunday supplement to many newspapers across the
nation.
I almost never look at it because it has articles like "What every
woman was
wearing at the Cat Show," but for some reason I happened to glance
through
it today.

The magazine contained an ad for Harbor Freight, with 14 coupons.

None of the coupons interested me (rechargeable plumb-bob, push-button
light
switches, assorted reverse-thread nuts and bolts, etc.).

The ad DID have your standard 20% off coupon, but this is no big deal
inasmuch as we all now know where to get one on the web
http://www.harborfreight.com/20off-c...aff-17547.html

What the ad did have, however, is a coupon for a FREE FLASHLIGHT!
Yippee!

Don't throw out the Sunday paper.



That flash light is not worth the gas to drive and get it unless you
are
going there anyway.

And the freebee requires a minimum purchase - least in AZ.

It is a nice little flashlight (9-led 1-AA) and I have them in the
cars/trucks and the house. Being old and half blind, the do come in
handy...




They were out right free in Houston, TX. My 90 year old father saw the
ad and just had to have the FREE, "this time it was the flash light",
item. We drove 16 miles one way and got nothing else. Oh, and burned
at least $8 worth of gas.

Yea, but you made him happy.

You should check out the clamps, there is a geared clamp like the bessey
kliklamp. I went and bought one to try out.. it was $19... at least I
thought it was. Turns out it was $10 and with the 20% coupon wound up
being $8. I had my wife in the car with my dog and had her run in for
one... w/coupon. Should have bought more.
They are really good. I had to run the sander on the rubber pad to
remove the knobby pads... It depressed in pine.. took them off then the
damng thing is perfect. No marring softwood, but a hell of a lot of
pressure. That makes LV and HF both having the kliklamp knock offs. They
are both different, the LV is light duty, the HF is heavier duty with
more pressure. Nice mechanism too.

I used them tonight.. (both) very happy with both. They are nice
additions and I'll be adding more of both...plus a kliklamp or 2 also.


Checkout the binaries for pics of these great clamps.
