Harbor Freight Catalog Went On a Diet

[hasco]

I just got my monthly HF Catalog in the mail and the page count is way down,More like a Booklet now. Maybe their doing away with the monthly catalog.Any Thoughts

Good, I hate junk mail. I get their catalog via email.

Printing and postage cost money, for a monthly catalog, that has basically the same thing in it, each issue.

Plus, who has time to sit an look at a catalog?

My 7 YO son loves it. He looks at tools in there for at least a couple of days.

If it is a full catalog, sometimes flipping through the pages if you are just browsing is more enjoyable than navigating through a website. As for HF's flyers, it gets boring with the number of repeating items.

68 pages

Have 4 others here 68, 68, 71 &72 pages respectively counting the front and rear covers



What I do notice is A LOT of different items...

Like this Quinn socket set

A step up with the ratchets over this

I flipped a few of the latter ones they actually had the same stamped sockets as the Pittsburgh Pro sets.

This catalog I received today is only 24 pages, Wonder if HF has reached their Pinnacle ?

Both are garbage. I got them for free and I think I paid too much.

It really harkens back to their mail order roots. It is a catalogue not a sales flyer which makes very little sense these days. Show me what’s new and what’s on sale instead of 95% the same stuff every single month.

Totally agree......sales are what get me going towards a store.

How long would that be, a 1/2 of one page? Lol

Seems they could take a page pun intended from the super evil truck brand's book. Just send out a flyer with your tools on special and people can go online or stores to see the rest.

Be careful with that one the next thing that you know he will be spending all his allowance money on tools.

Just got in the mail today. The one addressed to me is about 2x as thick as the one addressed to my son. Maybe because I’ve spent more money? ��
