Harbor Freight Coupon Policy

One of the great things about shopping at harbor freight coupon code is the deals you can get from all the different types of coupons! Harbor Freight offers coupons on individual items, free item coupons and even 20% off single item coupons. But to get the best deals its really important to understand their coupon policies. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping at Harbor Freight.

You can only use 1 coupon per item. This means that you cannot use a coupon stating a specific item is a specific price and then also use a 20% off coupon for that same item. Figure out which of the 2 coupons is the best deal and use that one.

The Harbor Freight website states that all coupons must have a valid barcode and expiration date. In my experiences this is not true. When I shop at Harbor Freight I always just print a list of the coupon codes I know I will be using and hand that list to the cashier. I have never had an issue with my method but do know that the official coupon policy says you must have the barcode and expiration date.

You do NOT have to have a physical copy of the coupon. You are allowed to show the cashier the coupon on your phone (Screenshot from Harbor Freight home page)

Coupons cannot be bought, sold or transferred. We have ALL the Harbor Freight coupons right here on Struggleville.net so you need not worry about this. (By the way if you know anyone still paying for Harbor Freight coupons on eBay kindly enlighten them to this free source of coupons.)

If you find a coupon for an item within 30 days of purchasing the item you can bring in your receipt and the coupon to get a refund for the price difference

20% off coupons and free item coupons are limited to 1 per person per day.

DO’S AND DON’TS OF HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS

You’re guilty of this. That wonderful red Harbor Freight Tools coupon book somehow made its way into your mailbox once again—and as you thumb through its pages, your imagination goes wild. Visions of no longer using a breaker bar to undo lug nuts because you now have an impact gun and compressor run through your mind.

Two hours and $200 later, you walk out of Harbor Freight with full cart, a slightly lighter debit card and a smile, because you feel like the master of savings! But we’re here to tell you that not everything from Harbor Freight is gold.

While there is definitely a list of great values that keep our editorial staff shopping there, we feel it’s important to know what to spend your hard-earned cash on and what to leave on the shelf. Follow along with this list to get the most out of your own Harbor Freight Tools shopping spree...

1. Reciprocating Saws | DO

Everyone has heard of a Sawzall, but Harbor Freight has their own, more affordable, version of a reciprocating saw that we’ve used before, and it works just as well. Most situations that warrant this tool aren’t emergency situations, enabling us to leave it's longevity more up to fate.

2. Saw Blades | DON'T

This is an area you want to splurge a bit more. Do yourself a favor and stick to the higher-end brands, like Milwaukee for instance, for your reciprocating saw blades.

3. Magnetic Wall Hangers | DO

Many of Harbor Freight's most useful items make organizing your garage much easier and within a budget. Magnetic wall strips and trays make it easy to quickly stick a few tools and hardware to during a job, so you can spend more time working and less time looking for stuff.

4. Tool Boxes | DON'T

If you’re anything like us, you might open your tool box drawers 100 times in one weekend of wrenching. Harbor Freight’s tool boxes may look neat and resemble more expensive brands, but the devil is in the details. The drawer slides, locking mechanisms and overall quality just doesn’t really constitute the savings.

5. Tool Carts |DO

Harbor freight coupon code tool carts, however, are a good investment. These are usually worth the price, and make bigger projects in the garage easier to manage.
