Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[5030]

Anyone try the HF Shrinker/Stretcher set? I never trust their reviews but don't want to pay for the more expensive ones seeing it will get used infrequently. I see other brands on the jungle site with crap reviews so wouldn't be surprised if the HF ones were junk too.

Not me, maybe someone else has...

I see the Harbor Freight Foam Cannon gets good reviews. I have a Chemical Guys foam cannon but the bottle is difficult to fill and it don't hold that much. I may spring for theirs. I wash down all my equipment with it but I use Chem-X detergent wash. Not cheap but works very well.

25% off one item with the usual exclusions.

Like the new Doyle vise and it's getting rave reviews as well. Not cheap at $199 but appears to be a winner.

I just discovered a HF forum over on Reddit. It may have answers to questions we see here.

Just got a 25% off coupon. Am I missing something? This one doesn't have all the usual exclusions.

"Original card must be surrendered". Did this come by mail? Included with a purchase? Most important, how can we all get one?

This is rare, I've never heard of one with no exclusions.

Maybe it's time to buy the quiet shop compressor. The HF 20+ year old one I have is deafening, unpleasant to be near.

I received the same 25% coupon - a "We Miss You - Come On Back" promo. I got it via e-mail so I don't know what card is to be surrendered. If I go to use it, I will have the coupon image on my phone and see what they say. They have always accepted phone coupons for me in the past.

I should also mention that the e-mail coupon says "In-Store Only" as well as "Single Use Coupon" next to the bar code. So probably cannot be shared.

I got one of those via email a while back. I just brought my phone in and they scanned it with no problem / no questions.

Yes, it is single use. I was deciding between a moderately priced item (6 ton jack stands at $80) and a more expensive item that I didn't really need, but might have been nice (one of their quiet air compressors). I decided to be responsible and buy the jack stands. Two days later, the stands went on sale for 25% off.

No bar code for them to scan?
