    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    This has been my experience as well. If the item is on sale, you can still use the 20% off coupon, but you cannot use multiple coupons for the same item. The verbage on the coupon itself seems to indicate that they could refuse a coupon for an item that's "on sale", but that seems to be the...

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    The $169 coupon that was posted is probably going to be your best bet. The coupon is good until mid-December, so if you can wait that long, you might as well... and see if it does go down to $149 on Black Friday.

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    I wheel my cart close to where I need my tools, so it's not too much effort to put them back each time. I will say, however, that if I know I'll need it again right away I will sometimes leave it out.

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    So, you think that price is a good indicator of the quality of an oil filter? Fram Extra Guard costs more than Purolator Classic, so it must be better? :headscrat

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    I can't remember the last time I paid more than $3 for an oil filter for our cars. I usually stock up when either Quaker State or Purolator Classic are on sale. Back when WM carried SuperTech, I could get them regularly priced for less than $3.

    Craftsman Industrial Full Polish Wrenches

    I always find it entertaining when someone rants about grammar and spelling, but yet has typos in said rant. ;)

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Ok. I honestly have never tried. I read the small print and figured that they wouldn't honor it. Next time I'm over there, I'll try it.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Were you able to use the 20% off coupon on that sale price? The fine print for that coupon seems to indicate that it is only good on regular priced items.

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    I was at WM over the weekend and checked out the oil filters. The "cheapo orange fram filter" runs about $5 at WM for my vehicles. Across the aisle, I noticed that the Purolator Classic for my vehicles is a buck or two cheaper. :dunno:

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    You're probably right. Plus, those same reported problems were from decades ago. There's a very good chance that the problems were related to a manufacturing defect that was corrected long ago. It's not like something like that doesn't happen from time-to-time (e.g. Audi, Toyota). I just...

    safety glass/goggle for eyeglass wearer.

    Who cares if they look goofy... they're for safety. In any case, when wearing my glasses, I use one of two kinds... the lab style ones and the first one posted by Cameronl. Most of the time, I wear contacts and just wear regular safety glasses.

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    I never said that they were expensive, but they were still more expensive than Walmart's brand SuperTech (now discontinued) and Purolator Premium Plus on sale (both under $3 each). The equivalent Fram oil filter for my vehicles is priced almost double that. I do agree to some degree that...

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    Exactly. I don't know why people would use Fram oil filters when there are less expensive ones available that are better quality. Heck, even the SuperTech filters that Walmart use to sell were better (and cheaper).

    Wifey Needs Help Please!!

    I think a laptop (or tablet) would be a great idea. I use mine very often when working in the garage for looking up microfiche or parts diagrams. If you do get a laptop, make sure to get a keyboard cover to keep debris from getting stuck between the keys.

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    The magnets seem to be glued pretty securely into the rails, and it doesn't seem like I'll be able to get them out without damaging the magnets. I stopped by HF today and purchased a couple sets of the rectangular magnets. They stick to the rails very well and none of the wrenches are sliding...

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    Thanks for the advice. I don't plan on putting a whole lot onto the lid... just a handful of open-ended wrenches and a couple of adjustable ones (basically the ones I use the most).

    What's everyone using to store hex bits?

    I think so... sounds like you're basically using it as a tray. I'm looking for something that'll keep the bits a bit more organized though. Thanks for the suggestion.

    HF 5 drawer copy-cat?

    It may be identical to the HF one, but it's not priced the same... they have it listed for $329.99 on their website. :headscrat Actually, from what I've read (haven't seen this one in person), there are a couple differences: 1. Wheels are four swivel casters 2. Textured black paint vs. glossy...
