Parade Magazine - HF
 

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...

And even then, they'd have to pay me to take any more away from them.
I got two "free" and they both crapped out in situation where it was a
royal PITA to go and get one that worked. Never again.

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.

Could it possibly be operator error?

Anything is possible? :-)
However, with one button to push, it is highly unlikely.

Add to the equation my experience that any "rubber covered push-switch"
in the Harbor Freight arsenal suffers the same design/quality flaw, and
logic leads me to believe the hoof thunder I hear is horses, not unicorns.

Don't make fun of those little flashlights.
I have a bunch of them, they are handy to have around and for free, I
get plenty.. there was a long time I could not get them. They were
always out of them.

I've got about a dozen of them and have had only one go bad (bad switch?).

No Sunday paper needed:

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.

I agree. I sawed off the business end of three of them and am fashioning the
results - along with a 4.5vdc wall-wart - into an under-counter light for
the kitchen.

I've just got to install an outlet connected to the overhead lighting and
I'm all set.

(I salvaged the supplied batteries. That's a $2.00 saving right there...)
