But your coupon only works on a single item! So you are set!

You want a folding battery-powered LED work light with magnetic base and some of those thick Hardy-brand gloves, not that cheap shit.
Don’t forget to get all the sockets you could ever want, long/short-reach pliers, screw drivers, and some flare nut wrenches while you’re there.

I’ve got the 12 ton press, it’s been pretty useful. The jack comes out pretty easy if you need it too.
I was pissed they put the coupon on the cover of my issue though, now the cover has old nasty adhesive on it.

We actually just got that exact press at work last week! It's worked ok for us so far, we did upgrade the hardware it comes with though. People were complaining about it but I'd say it's a good value for an occasional use press.

I always forget the ad, but this is a data base that people upload them. It comes in handy.

Might still want the jack for heavy jobs like changing motor mounts, changing differentials, dropping transmissions etc

Oh, nice. I was just informed that my coupon is only good for one item, but I may pick this up as well.

My dad has that same press. We used it to swap out the control arm bushings on my El Camino. Worked pretty good!
I think I have ten of those 20% off coupons from HF in my house at any given time. What always ticks me off is when I find something I need (or just want) and realize the fine print on the coupon says it won’t work on the aforementioned thing. :(

They just apply it to your most expensive item. I’m gonna pick up on of those bars so I can change transmissions and clutches and stuff easier.

Those do look nice, but honestly I still would probably want a way to set up jack stands with it. I’m sure it has some built in, but I do not trust getting under cars.
I was also really impressed at how small they got the packaging down until I saw it one just one box of three.

These coupons are actually super common. They don’t have one on their website this week, but I think they had one last week for example. So if you have a store close to you, you can just wait until another comes up.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles
