The 20% off coupon doesn't apply to some of their brands/products including the Predator engines, Earthquake impacts, Hercules, Lynxx batter powered tools and at least a dozen others.. Read the small print (with a magnifying glass if your eyes are like mine).

I've bought numerous tools ... some good and been disappointed a few times. Bought a 3/4 drive socket set 5 years ago that's been a great buy. Also bigger items include Bauer 20V drill (charger went out), 21 gallon upright compressor still going after 3 years, Earthquake 12V right angle battery powered ratchet, and assorted other hand tools,tarps, ratchet straps. I'm 98% satisfied with them all. I bought the 40V Lynxx pole saw and its freakin awesome.

HF usually has pretty good deals on tools you can't find elsewhere:

Depends on what tool really. I use their spray guns when I have some oddball color that I don't keep in a pressure pot. They hold up pretty good for $20. Spray fine for the application I'm using it for. I replace them about once a year. That being said. These aren't in use all day everyday. Probably about a gallon to gallon and a half a week tops.
I've used some of their other stuff. Hand tools seem alright. Air tools seem alright. Their little shop stool is solid. I don't think I've ever used a power tool of theirs. They're cheap enough that if it breaks, you don't lose much money.

I have two overhead electric winches I bought from them about 4 years ago. Welded them under the roof of our cleaning station at the ranch and use them pretty often from Oct-Feb. They haven't failed me yet.

If you are laying under any car with just a jack supporting it, you're (for a lack of better words) stupid

Atwood's is really good for work boots, and they run some great Carhartt deals. Sometimes cheaper on guns than anyone else, too.

Oh, here's a good one. My driveway is pretty long and I'm out here in the woods so I wouldn't want anyone sneaking up here to the house. I put a driveway alarm about 300' from the house. Been there 3 years and works like a charm and is an added layer of security out here in the wild, wild East Texas Pineywoods. Btw I take one of these when I'm staying at a public park (usually at Rayburn) and watch over the boat with it. $17 for 2.

I had to customize some wrenches for a particular job. I had no problem cutting and grinding on those cheap Harbor Freight wrenches. The finished product worked like a champ and the whole dang set was cheaper than a single Craftsman or Snap On wrench.
