ITC was only required if you wanted to use the discount Wednesday or Thursday. It’s now open for everyone to use…
Didn't really have plans to get anything. Went in today and found an open box ICON flex torque wrench. Turns out the register let me use the 10% coupon on top of the open box discount. $116 out the door. I've been needing a decent flex torque wrench - would have come in handy earlier when I did the struts on the van. This will do fine for my needs.
Looks like they just dropped some coupons. Is this the first time in a while? I've kind of been out of the loop and didn't even know they stopped until a few weeks ago.

Those all appear to just be their new "Instant Saving" deals, not really a coupon per say. Over the 4th weekend they did an actual 10% coupon. Three trips to the store and 3 toolboxes inbound. Actually, 2 are at the store now, buried behind about 20 more so I can't pick them up until Saturday.
The website and app update the Instant Savings deals frequently.

Anyone notice that no more product reviews have less than 4 stars average? Someone did something dirty and now it's harder to tell what *****.
Amazon reviews are **** nowadays too, but no need to race to the bottom.

I have not seen these, and I don't see them on HFQDB. mind posting them up?
Edit: they're on HFQDB, just gotta scroll down a little bit: https://www.hfqpdb.com/newest_coupons
Good coupons but only for select items, no?

Only 20% off coupons I'm seeing are for grinders and sockets/ratchets, not the old 20% off everything that isn't specifically excluded. Am I missing something?
I don't think so, got the same e-mail everyone else did and it's on their website.

I'd like to use that 10% off towards a box, but it's bad timing

Sadly nothing that's on sale is anything I need right now. But it's good to see that they're bringing a few coupons back.
Thanks for locating them
Certain categories of items
They are not the 20% off anything coupons this time, but percent off certain categories.

I decided to bite the bullet and get the good Daytona while it was on sale. I really like the new sunburst metallic orange color, but my local HF only had the yellow in stock. I asked for a raincheck, but the manager said there are "limited quantities" so no raincheck would be issued. My coupon does NOT note this limitation. I asked for the regional manager's contact information, but all the store would do is take my email and claim he will contact me tomorrow. I used to love this store, but their customer service is horrible - they simply don't care. I said it on a previous thread and will say it here again... the Harbor Freight of today reminds me of Sears 15 or 20 years ago. Like Sears of that era, there is just no reason to go into a HF anymore.
I ended up getting the candy red one myself. Maybe that or another store will swap it out. Seems to me that some of them are really hit or miss with staff.

I stopped in the local HF this afternoon for some work gloves; there was a heated argument going on in front of the doors between a frustrated old codger and the manager about the "new" coupon restrictions. He was also bitching about how he didn't get their flyers in the mail anymore.

The store manager reached out to me and admitted he made a mistake. Due to the absence of the limited quantities notation he mistakenly thought was present, he is going to issue a raincheck AND add an additional 10% discount. I am somewhat heartened, but still feel that HF in general is going down a very slippery slope. Now to wait until that sunburst orange color comes back in stock...
so you are getting that jack at 20% off
i found mine at a store that online said they had none. went to my local store just to see the colors, and they had the orange one i liked.
i probably would have drove to the other store just to get one that color. you may have been able to buy one in the color you didnt like just and return/exchange it with their 90 day return policy.

That discount is what the manager said, based upon his mistake when I was in the store trying to get a raincheck. I no longer believe online stock counts from any store's website. Besides I was unwilling to drive all over the place just to get a certain color. I'll wait till it comes in.so you are getting that jack at 20% off

And if people were smart they would avoid Harbor Freight until they get back to their old ways.

I am wanting to get a 2000 watt generator and hopefully they do a no exclusions coupon for labor day. I know all of next week for ITC members has LABOR DAY sale but not for this generator listed.
I had some time to kill before getting a haircut so I decided to stop by a near Harbor Freight. I decided to look at the “specials” for labor day before getting out of my truck (kinda wanting a 56” box) and saw they have the 72” box listed on the specials at what used to be the REGULAR price. WTF
I put my truck in gear and didn’t even go in.

Well the toolboxes are one of the few good purchases left there IMO. I opened a Harbor Freight credit card just to get 10% off of my 44" box. I then paid off the card. Those smart with credit cards (I never use them) can find better coupon and/or money off deals, but it was easiest for me to open an HF card that I'll most likely never use again.

Harbor Freight is a private family company, so we won't ever know the true details, but it seems like they've been doing fine moving upmarket. I got tired of waiting myself for the price to come down on the 3000W Predator generator, so I bought it, without coupon, because it was still $1000 less than the equivalent Yamaha/Honda, and I'm not spending double for the brand name. The price has gone up another $70 since I bought it even, and are still selling out between shipments.
Their US General boxes and Daytona jacks have become "well known brands" in their own right, and also seem to be selling well enough.
So long story short, I don't think you'll ever get back the store of bottom of the barrel garbage with a few gems mixed in, they've been investing in their product line and it definitely shows in price, but also quality.

Anyone seen any coupons for the 20 ton shop press? Meaning to get one for years and didn't realize they jumped quite a bit in price.

Well it seems prices on everything are going up, houses, lumber, fuel, used autos, so stuff going up in price at Harbor Freight doesn't seem that bad to me. Not a cause for celebration for sure, but not out of step with the current world. At the risk of being labeled a HF fan boy...they are still significantly cheaper on almost everything than say Northern tool is. It is however, time for those of us that need some new tool for a particular project to stop automatically going to HF to get it...time to shop around for sure especially if you don't need it TODAY.

What makes you think they're doing well other than getting rid of coupons and raising prices? Oh and don't forget starting their "club" that you have to pay to join.
Yeah I don't think the prices are going anywhere right now either. Too many lemmings that are willing to "just **** it up" and overpay at Harbor Freight. The toolboxes, except for the Icon brand, are some of the last good values left in the store. I don't think Harbor Freight will stick around forever with this current business model. It's too easy to get tools elsewhere - Ace (talk about overpriced!), Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon, eBay, etc. That's easy for me to say though and all I have is a hunch.
I don't think you're an HF fan boy because you probably willingly overpay everywhere.

I could see if I was a Snap-on fan boy why you would type that, but I'm curious where you think I should shop if if I wasn't one that willingly would overpay everywhere. I'm not getting huffy, nor am I offended, I'm just wanting to learn from you where to go to get more for my money in tools.
Exclusively Ebay and Craig's List?I'm not saying that I haven't upon occasion (due to lazyness, or fatigue, or they got me by the short hairs) willingly overpaid, but as a rule I really try to avoid it.

You missed it, two weeks ago there was one floating around that applied to all US General stuff.
There was also a 10% no exclusions earlier this year I believe (April?), I'm guessing you won't see another until Black Friday.

I am hoping for a new exclusions coupon again this year as I want a couple floor jacks and wouldn't mind saving another 10% or more.
