A tip on Harbor Freight, what the catalog says is not necessarly
the lowest price. They send many catalogs out at the same time and they
all have different prices. The best thing to do is to hold onto your
catalogs and look for the cheapest price. After you think you have found
it call customer service amd ask them for the best price, sometimes it
will be 50% less! One other thing don't forget that they always offer a
free gift , I think it is a leather bag now. You find out what the gift is
by checking out their web page.
