So most of the really expensive or already on-sale items are out. Still should be good for some deals. Drill press?

If you shopped at HF in the last month or so you got handed a paper coupon.

i need a new hobby/time waster for the new year. i'm finally going to bite the bullet on playing with solar energy. the 25% coupon works on the 45-watt solar kit and drops the price down to $119.99. shipping is $6.99 but there's 3% FatCash to offset the s/h, plus it'll cost me a few bucks to drive to pick it up.
now i need to find a deal on some 12v deep cycle batteries.

in the past, my local allowed sale items to be included but not coupon items. i wonder if this still applies?

lexx is right,
You can use this coupon on most Ad items, But you can not use this coupon on sale items.

If you had 8 hours of full sunlight everyday, 45 watts * 8 hrs = 360 watts / day would take you 3333 days (or about 10 years) to break even

Don't forget to use this coupon alone with one of the other coupons for a free flashlight, 6pc screwdriver set, multi-meter, etc., etc.

Do Home Depot's normally accept this as a competitors coupon?

I was able to use this coupon at HD. Said they should not take it as they look at HF as a discount store. But it worked out well. Thanks OP.

Sadly, My HD won't take HF coupons. They said they don't consider them to be a "competitor".

Harbor Freight, cheap tools...very cheap junk. Not the FW way. Buy some quality tools.

I disagree. I broke a Sears Craftsman impact socket pulling a large nut off my rear axle. I went to Harbor Freight in a pinch that same day and bought one of their pro-series impact sockets. The nut easily came off without any problem. The sidewalls on the HF socket are much thicker than the sidewalls of Craftsman socket. Definitely impressed with HF pro-series tools. And the incredible price difference is a no-brainer as to which to buy. And they have a lifetime warranty honored at any HF store, no questions asked.

Batteries are problematic, but for something as small as this I've heard someone can pick up deep cycle batteries with most of their capacity left from alarm companies for the core charge.

Hand tools have lifetime warranties. All of them felt identical to my craftsmen set. I wish they had HF where I lived back in the day when I bought my 247 Pc set..
1) I never use my SAE set since I have a german car.
2) It's loads cheaper with same warranty (Break it, bring it in).

I went to Home Depot and bought the Ridgid Drill and Impact combo for 199.99 gave them the Harbor Freight 25% coupon and walked out the door for 150.00 plus tax. Great Deal....and the Ridgid tools are guaranteed for life including the batteries (after registering with Ridgid)
