Act on these coupons I just got from Harbor Freight (low cost Chinese tool manufacturer):

I am sure she badly needs those awful heavy duty gloves. Or cheesy headlamp.

BTW, the above coupons are good for manly tools you might want to buy :). Just print it or show it on your phone to the cashier. Happy shopping! :D

Oh yeah, buy yourself a nice new power tool or set of wrenches, then give the headlamp/gloves/cloths to mom and/or wife. Sounds like the perfect way to spend Sunday (Mother's Day) in the doghouse. Without the the dog, who will be taking your place at the table, natch. :)

Harbor Freight is embroiled in a lawsuit because everything is always on sale and apparently for it to be a sale it must be regularly priced for 28 days out of 90. Somebody must have gotten a bad wrench and hooked up with a lawyer with too much time on his hands (or money in mind). I understand the need for truth ini advertising, but just how seriously is anybody going to take HF or some of the other mail-order catalog types? ("Was $200, slashed to $29.99, but wait, order now and we'll double your savings!")

HF is a minefield of hit and misses.

Indeed. I look for reviews and when it is 5 stars, then it is usually good. Anything else and you are taking chances.

In case you don't have the funds to make a qualifing purchase at HF, your local Wal Mart has the headlights by the bin full for sale at $.99.
That way you can thrill Mom/Wife with a gift and not spend a bundle.
