    That little triangle light is a lot brighter than I thought it would be. I have no idea how long it will hold up, but I have had one for nearly a year now and it still works. Though it doesn't get much use.

    I never use the free coupons.. sometimes I think I should when those triangle lights come with. Seem to be a far cry better light than the little LED flashlights are, and more useful in the design.

    I have been thinking about getting a couple more and keep 2 or three in both my Taco and the wife's car. They are smaller and work better than the folding reflective triangles, but they do take batteries with the triangles do not. Still undecided on getting more. But f they are free, and I happen to see a coupon, and there isn't some other free item I wan't more, then why not?

    I always get something free every time I go there. I give the stuff I don't want away. Kids love the flashlights.

    Free is cool when the free is worth the time. I live about 5 mins away from one so its not to much trouble but i usually dont get down there unless i really need something that happens to be on sale.

    I have an older Chicago angle grinder, I used it to grind some sliders down to bare metal last weekend, it worked great.

    Also the heat gun is nice.

    Get free flashlights and give them to kids with candy on Halloween.

    In my defence, I did say the HF trailer was " mostly done".

    But yes, didn't need those gash makers present.

    No worries. I'm having a lot of fun in the thread.

    Never knew there were so many of us HF junkies...and a few haters.

    Right, HF buyers be like :anonymous:

    The Walmart of tools. Definitely serves a purpose though and some of their deals can't be beat for decent stuff.

    My relationship with HF has been love/hate for over 35 years, ever since they were mail order only out of North Hollywood.

    Which is pretty good because the L/H relationship I had with my 1st wife only lasted 21...

    Go to Saginaw Craigslist.

    I'm trying to find out what the market will bear.
