The check out guy asked if I wanted the $6 1-yr replacement warranty, and when I told him no he acted like I was just throwing my money away. He gave me all kinds of warnings about not to lending it out to anybody and said I shouldn't even bother taking it to work. I suggested that maybe I shouldn't be buying it in the first place if it's that crappy. But of course that's not what he meant. I understand that they are probably told to push the extended warranty, but to try and scare a customer that the product is so bad that he'd better get the warranty or be very sorry later seems a bit ridiculous. Plus this helmet is for home use and will get used maybe once a month. I still think Harbor Freight is a blast. Picked up the auto-darkening welding helmet this morning.

My local HF is having a Parking Lot sale this Oct 5-7th, and the pricing in that flyer is much less than those coupons above. Try $97.77 for the engine lift and $5.44 for the 1/4 air die grinder. Looks like these coupons aren't such a great deal from a few of the things I compared to my Parking Lot flyer. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95795 Those piston ring pliers are AWESOME! I got them for $5.99 the other day, work great... immediately replaced my more expensive name brand piston ring pliers that always let the ring twist a little. That is strange.
