For a while now, it seems the Harbor Freight stores are moving to the higher end products. I went in today and saw a tool box taller than I was! See it here: Icon Tool box
While I'm all for better products, I hope it's not the way the whole store will go. It's nice to get a deal on some lower valued items too like consumable things and stuff. After all, it's what got them this far!
They seem to be phasing out the 20% coupons on most things as well. It used to be that there were only a few names like Chicago Electric, Central Pneumatic, etc. Now I see names like Vulcan (all of the welding stuff now) and Daytona (jacks) Icon (toolboxes), Bauer, Hercules, etc. But if you look at the 20% coupons, they are NOT valid on these new names. Not just big things but even $10 dollar welding gloves. Everything. The days of Free items seems to be over too. All they offer for a long time now is the blue LED flashlight. Free items might be a thing of the past? Not that big of a deal, just mentioning it.
Time will tell how it goes I guess. I don't know about your stores but mine is very quiet lately. Not many cars in the lot or customers in the store...
