Handy, but it doesn't show the coupon book I just got from them ("SAVE
OVER $1350 with SUPER COUPONS!"). (This is for their "after
Thanksgiving" sale, 11/27-29.)

You've got to fill out a form to get on their mailing list. I'm sure their
web site has such a form and the retail stores can fix you up. I suspect you
can go to one of the "Black Friday" web sites and find the coupons, too.
With their latest catalog you can save (examples):

60% - 10" pneumatic tire ($3.99)
50% - Welder's leather apron and gloves ($9.99)
40% - Electric chain saw sharpener ($29.99)
70% - 3.5" LED flashlight, 2 pack ($2.99)
45% - Pack of latex gloves ($4.39)
65% - 80-piece rotary tool set ($6.99)
50% - 1 lb Rubber Mallet (99¢)
80% - Wire brush (39¢)
29% - Bench brush ($1.89)
50% - Industrial ear muffs ($1.99)
52% - Orbital hand sander ($8.49)
35% - 4x12' Canvas drop cloth ($6.49)
52% - Industrial C-Clamp ($2.29)
75% - Digital 7-function multimeter ($1.99)
60% - Non-contact pocket thermometer ($7.99)
40% - Security color/IR camera ($29.99) I've got one. Hooks up to $16.00
video card for the computer to continuously record stuff. Works in the dark.

And dozens of other dohickeys.

How does HF compare to Cummins Tools? Cummins used to set up 1 day
truck load sales in my area a couple times a year but they don't
anymore. The closest HF is about 48 miles from me but I suppose it
would be worth it if I'm buying something heavy. (I will need an engine
stand soon) I just signed up to recieve ads from HF via mail and email.
From what I have seen, Cummins and HF seem to be about the same
quality (or lack of), what do others think?

Yeah, they and a bunch of others swarm around are all essentially
interchangeable. Altho at least one went belly-up a couple years ago or
so--don't recall if it was Cummins or another, nor do I know whether it
was just a ploy to reorganize under a new monikor.

The one advantage of HF is that they have been there and are at least
reasonably good at fulfilling cases of DOA and similar absolute
disasters whereas the traveling medicine shows are just that.

I drop in on one now and then but I can't recall when I last saw
anything that was either inexpensive enough I thought it was an actual
value or if was looking for some specific whatever that the sample of
the whatever they had was decent-enough I'd take it home...

I'd guess all these outfits use the same general set of manufacturers
simply branding stuff for them w/ minor differences in cases, etc. In
some cases you can see that they're the same tool w/ a different switch
or other trivial detail that makes them just slightly off of being
identical.

I buy stuff from them all the time and get their catalogs every month
and never got any coupons.

You have to sign up at the harborfreightusa.com site. Note the "usa" at the
end of the URL; it's a different department.

You'll get email coupons (a lot of 15% and 20% lately), plus the coupons in
the mail. I have heard it might take awhile (maybe in the past?) before you
start getting them; I've been signed up for a few years now, and it's like
clockwork for me.

Pretty sure I'm on their mailing list because I bought a power tool

name & address. But as others point out, you can just sign up for their
mailing list. They're happy to send you the junk mail.

You can do that. However, as I pointed out elsewhere, you'll also get

Aye, I have noticed that as a well, but fortunately they show up more

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

Hrmphh. I never get any coupons either. [catalogs on occassion-

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

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

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.

Jon

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, harrumph, 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.

Pretty sure I'm on their mailing list because I bought a power tool

You bought an extra warranty for a $20. HF Sawzall? How much?

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.

OK, I guess I deserved that.

In my defense, harrumph, 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.

Me neither. I would invest in Wheat pennies.

So, do you know if those are worth anything (meaning more than 1¢ each)?
Just wondering because I have a bunch of them. Don't really care, since
I just like the way they look, but I'm curious.

The joy they can bring to a curious kid is priceless. Unless BU
condition, probably not worth much to a collector. Somewhere, I have the
1/4 populated blue penny folders my Grandpa gave me when I was a wee
lad. I think the folders only run through 1970 or so. One of these days,
I will go through my most recent penny jug and populate as many of the
holes as I can. Too bad my previous penny jugs, with older pennies in
them, got stolen. I save every wheat-back I notice in my hand.
