Default Re: Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

I used to get at least three emails a week from HF, with coupons. They abruptly quit in the middle of December. I find it a quiet distraction to try to hunt down their inexpensive bargains in the store - like an Easter egg hunt.

Is anyone else still getting their coupon emails?

Eye yei yei, my dad got me another HF gift for Christmas. Even though I have 3 lifts, I frequently still use a creeper to get under things. My old creeper has literally worn out it's wheels and wheel bearings to the point that I have to drag it around with it's wheels aimed the wrong way and not even turning. So my dad got me this HF creeper that has the top part adjust up for head and neck support (I think I like that part) and has flames printed on the plastic padding (I don't roll around that fast; really). Anyway, does anyone else have this HF creeper? Will the wheels last? Will the flame pattern plastic covering over the padding last?

I really don't care how stupid it looks if it will last a few years before the plastic cracks and the wheels quit rolling and turning. Is this "hot rod" creeper okay?

I think this is the one I got http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=91258 I don't have the trays on the sides though.

I think this is the one I got Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices I don't have the trays on the sides though.
If that is the one that you got why worry how long it lasts. According to what I saw on the link you provided it said lifetime warranty. If you get on it now and try it will it move around like you want it to. If it does then you should be good to go

Still get the emails/coupons about once a week, they usually arrive right after I've bought something from them...

The 20% off total purchase email/coupons stopped right after Christmas.

I get e-mails, but I don't get any coupons. What list do I have to be on to get the coupons?

There's a Signup/preferences tab in the upper right corner of that coupon page I described. Here's the link again:

HF coupons through 1/7

If you are talking about the 15% or 20% discount coupons, recently they were at the top of these email pages. I haven't seen one in a HF postal flyer for a while.
