Update: I will retain the original post with URL information as of the date it was posted below. Please refer to the QUICK SUMMARY section to view the MOST CURRENT HARBOR FREIGHT COUPONS!
Note: There are currently a total of 88 active coupons as of the time I posted this in the links below. Plus information on how to obtain each week's coupons yourself.
Everyone knows that each week Harbor Freight Tools sends out multiple coupons to their email subscribers.
Each email contains a link back to their site to view the coupons if the user can't view them in HTML email.
Inevitably, each week a new post is made to Fat Wallet with the latest coupons, and inevitably people post followup asking where the latest coupons are if the originals are now expired (since their coupons have a 6 day life typically).
This post is meant as a summary of how their coupon links work, a list of their current sales for this second week of October 2007, and how to find the coupons yourself, AND to provide a single spot to update the list weekly, ala the Clearance threads for many stores. This will keep the number of similar posts down and locate all your Harbor Freight information in 1 thread.
Onto the links:
Here are the current links that are active TODAY, Thursday, October 11, 2007. I will also place these in the Quick Summary so that other members can update them each week to the current ones for the members that don't know how to manually edit URLs.
Group 1: These links are the ones directly sent to most email subscribers.
This is their Monday through Saturday ad. It becomes active LATE on Monday evenings or on Tuesday mornings. Week to week, the only thing that changes is the week number of the year, in this case, it's currently '41', the 41st week.

This link is the same, just without the header and sidebar panes:

This is their Thursday through Tuesday ad. It becomes active LATE on Thursday evenings or on Friday mornings. Same rues as the above. Notice the only difference here is "B" vs "A" in the filename.

Group 1b: Sometimes during an "email coupon blitz" they will also offer additional pages of coupons that come out every other day during a week. This happens about 2 times a year. You can search for them by simply changing "RetailA.html" to "RetailC.html" down to "RetailF.html" or so.
Group 2: For each of the above pages, there is a link on the bottom that sends you to "Need more coupons?" The actual URL contains the end date of the week (always a Sunday). In this case it shows 1014:
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/html/wkend1014/usa_cpnsave.html
Group 2b: Sometimes they will have the following week's coupons available while the current ones are still active (different than the overlapping midweek ones). I do NOT know if their system will have these coupons enabled before the usual start date (1 week before they expire), but for example, this week you can already acccess next week's coupons:
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/html/wkend1021/usa_cpnsave.html
Note: The link on their pages is defined as this basic link below, but resolves to the specific week they want to show as active like one of the two above links once you click on it. Use this link to get to the for sure 'active' one, but use the links above to see the specific week's one.

Group 3: It seems there is another level of coupons they use that some people receive and others don't. These may be used more of a short-term offer (such as 3 or 5 days, not a full week like the others above). This is an example of one that ran for 3 days last week. Again, it is indexed by the week of the year number. Simply change 40 to 41 to get the current page each week, if one exists at all. None exist for this week as this is posted.

Hope that helps... There were over 88 active coupons in the above links. That should satisfy most HFT shoppers for this week!
