What would you purchase from Harbor Freight with 25% off?

[Poe34]

If you had a 25% off "no exclusions" coupon, what would you buy? The backhoe is currently "not available."

 

[cgrutt]

I just got one of those too sales must be down...

 

[mike93lx]

A tape measure

Both riser cabinets for my Icon box setup.

I've seen the women who work at HF. I'll pass.

 

[will335i]

Used one on the locker for my Icon setup and used one on an Omnipro welder.

 

[Mandres]

Probably a 44" us general box, or maybe the knee mill?

I used one for a generator before the last big storm. Wound up not needing it, so sold the generator on FB for a little more than I paid. Everybody went home happy that day.

The dirty bastards sent me the coupon this morning but it expires tomorrow. They must know that I am 3-1/2 hours from home. I just had a smallish surgery this morning and am stuck in Rochester at the Mayo Clinic until Friday, the day after it expires. I doubt I can get my wife to take me to a local HF if there is one.

Something costly that I don’t need or have time to use

 

[Hakeem]

The punch chisel set is pretty nice for $100, they’re made in the USA and look suspiciously similar to the Mayhew 150 punches …


Factor in the lifetime warranty and that’s a pretty good deal

These cabinets are a sleeper for $100



I love the wrinkle paint. Downsides are limited depth (7” interior) and no handles, the keys are the only thing to open/close them with.

Mine has come cute ones. Any port in a storm though.

I hear they go crazy for any guy who has his own car.

From what I understand they are Mayhew 150 punches. Rebranded for HF.

They don't care whose car it is.

25% off, no exclusions? I would buy the 15" sidebox for my toolbox. I don't need it for $279, but for $70 off I could surely want it!

Are they sending out such coupons? I've not received any such thing....

Your excitement is concerning.

It's a quote from the movie Office Space. Or a "big coincidence".

I got one in my email this morning, claiming to be from the store manager since it's been awhile since I've been in. I think it was two weeks ago that I bought the drill bits with the 6/32 - 1/4-20 taps. It expires tomorrow.

EDIT. I looked at it again, it's valid 6-14 through 6-20 but that doesn't change the fact I didn't get it until the 19th.

 

[kngelv]

I did not get one. I'd be all over the better of the two engine hoists they carry because I just bought a 4-post lift and could use it to help with assembly.

Check your junk mail for an email from HF manager. I thought it was spam, I am surprised I even opened it. Thanks for the suggestions! I am going to check out that hydraulic lift I think.

 

[zendriver]

Not clicking on that link in the junk email.

If is was real, seems I'd get a real email or text message.

 

[Komet]

HF will send you the 25% off anything coupon if you haven't bought anything from them for 8 months or something like that. At least that's what a cashier told me last time I used mine, and it was true I hadn't made a purchase in a while.

I got their latest large Bauer shop vac with the lawnmower rear wheels and the handle with it. It's been an absolute beast, very happy with it. The cart handle is a game changer.

13000 watts for $900 ( $960ish with tax ) runs unmodified on natural gas.

I have one phone number I use only for collecting 25% off coupons. I use a person I don't like's phone for my everyday purchases. Yes, that does make me a bad person.

 

[zendriver]

I did open mine up 25% off for 4 icon hand tool purchases.

 

[mark-NJ]

I don't get out much!

 

[Wamsutta]

This is the only thing I buy from Harbor Freight.

Dammitt!

I saw things in my Junk folder that I REALLY didn't need to see...

and that will likely disappoint you if you did ever use it

 

[nbpt100]

This is the only thing I buy from Harbor Freight.

You can get that at any hardware store. Is that what you tell your wife? Are you sure you are not sneaking a few purchases with the 20% off coupon? ha!!!

 

[zendriver]

Na, I’m a fan boy, but I have plenty of their stuff still in the box, just wait for that big chance to tackle that special project.

 

[Ultradog MN]

Ummm,
Nothing.
I live less than a mile from a HF but haven't been there in years.
I might stop by Dong Yang tho.
We buy our soy sauce there.

Well thanks for joining a convo specifically directed at HF products!

What?
You don't like soy sauce?
Why, I included a photo of a HF and everything...

I have two dollar stores and a "Chinese-Japanese" restaurant next door to mine. I think I would buy my sauce from the dollar store before risking it there!

My Dad collects guns, this might be the winner! Had no idea they even had high end gun cases.

High end is a bit of a stretch, but they aren't terrible.

I'd likely be in for a generator or a 56" base cab

Have you seen the chicks that work @HF? I don't think 25% off is good enough.
