Looks like a scam to me. Sent the link to HF to get it validated if it is real

I was actually in Houston when I got the email. Almost went straight to HF until I caught the "fine print".

Notice the under $10 part? Not much of a savings.

Well, I don't know about most people but if someone tells me they are willing to give me $3 instead of the usual $2 they regularly offer me, I am going to say Thank You....not snipe that it isn't more. Yes, I know exactly what I am thankfully going to use this coupon to buy this afternoon!! :cool2:

Anybody else notice that Google play stopped the HF coupon app. Mine stopped working, google says it's because of copyright issues.

G is evil. Hate 'em. Avoid 'em as much as possible.

I could still get to the site itself and use the coupons the other day. More hoops, but no G.

Yep, you just follow the link, and then you side load the .apk that you'll download to your phone, you'll side load that .APK file and then is well in the world again.

The 20 percent off coupon has a lot of restrictions but it’s not limited to $10 which makes your possible savings a lot more than $3.

Sometimes 20% off is a better price than HF's advertised 'special' or the ITC price.

My experience, too. Rarely is a coupon better than 20% off the 'sale' price.

Solar powered battery maintainer from Harbor Freight.

Sucks or not... I do not know. I can tell you that the clamps were barely soldered and one wire came off as I was attempting to pin it out with a multimeter. So, I broke both wires off, tinned them, crimped them and soldered them back to the clamps properly.

Oddly, the voltage under my shop LED lighting is showing over 19 volts with no load. That's high compared to the 1.2 - 1.3 required charging volts per battery volt. 13.8V to 14.2V is optimal.

So I have this placed in the window of my Jeep while the Jeep is outside to make room for me to work on the resurrection of my 04 Grand Prix.

I'll let you know what my take is, but at $9.99 on coupon.... Can it be okay?
