Went to HF Today.....

[jeffk14]

Don't have a HF store really close to me, but I was in Kennesaw, GA today on other business, so I stopped by the one there. Went in armed with TWO 20%-off (original, not reprinted) coupons and my "Inside Track Club" card & sales paper. New coupon restrictions were clearly displayed. I was looking for a couple of the 1/4" drive, 99-cent socket rails, but they only had ONE in stock.
Anyway, finally ended up burning one of the "20%-off & free flashlight" coupons on the Earthquake Impact wrench that I've heard nothing but good things about. Regularly $99.99, on sale for $89.99, so I got it for $71.99 + tax with coupon. For 2:00 P.M. on a Friday afternoon, the place was very busy.

I too bargain hunt for the better Harbor Freight items. The Fargo ND store is the one that I shop at. I've never been there when it wasn't full of people.

Too bad 'bout the new coupon restrictions.

I picked up a 3 ton "Racing" jack yesterday, it lifts my Ranger pickup with ease. The price was 40% off, so I couldn't complain. It's the nicest jack I've ever had. Then I dropped by a pawn shop and picked up a 2 ton jack for 17$ and it works better than any of the others I've had at home for years.

Picked up the last two 1/2" (Taiwan) ratchets the had in the store. These are the ones in the clam shell packaging. All of the others have the black tab that holds the ratchet to the display.

I lived in Kennesaw for many years, been to that HF many times. You should of made a trip down the road to Northern Tool in Marietta, it's worth a visit.

Retired my old Bluepoint and use the Earthquake 1/2" now. Same power in a lighter wrench.

I have a friend who has run a transmission shop since 1953. When I was visiting one day, he was telling me about how he had bought several of them and loved them.

the harbor freight in this area looks like a flea market. the place is usually trashed.

Manager at the Orange, Ca store I go to runs a tight ship. The minute somebody can come off a register they are either on a broom or restocking and straightening out shelves. Everyone that walks in the door is greeted, and gets offered the insiders club before they leave.

I haven't seen a bad Earthquake review yet.

The coupon restriction flyers were pulled from my HF. There were a few of us that complained about adding restrictions after the coupons were printed and distributed.

I bought a motorcycle jack for my brother using the 20% coupon. Initially they refused to honor the coupon stating the new policy. After the manager came over I asked him to show me on the coupon where floor jacks were excluded. He quoted the flyers. I asked him if they mailed flyers to every HF customer stating the changes. He gave me a weird look, and said Okay, just for you.

I said, no, you can't give one person a deal and not another. It plainly states on the coupon what the restrictions are, making the flyers meaningless. Two weeks later all the flyers were down.

Yes they are great tough impacts, lots of torque, made in taiwan too not china.

[Suprman]

for the people in GA, which store is better? i live right between the kennesaw and lilburn store and was thinking of going to one tomorrow to check it out

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

I haven't been to the one in Kennesaw. The new one in Athens is larger, better organized and has a much better selection than the one in Lilburn...
