$22.50/year is pretty close to '$22.' What does it cost for Amazon Prime if not a discounted welfare recipient (and why I refuse to pay their retail), Costco, Sam's, etc.?
Not sure you can compare ITC to Prime.. totally different things. If it wasnt for buying a toolbox I dont think I would get my $30/year value out of ITC, but then again I have most the tools I need, and only buy a few random items a year. If you plan on buying a decent amount of tools throughout a year, its likely much more worthwhile.
Actually, now that I look at my receipt. They rang me up for the 15% ITC discount on both the tool chests I bought.. but never charged me for the ITC membership.. so Guess I didn't end up buying it after all, and still got the discount.
Also if you want ITC keep an eye out. Normally once a year they offer a deal where you get a gift card when you sign up. I had ITC last year, rarely used it, but they gave me a gift card for signing up which made it near break even for me.
I have a similar one from Little Giant and hate it. It's 3x heavier than a basic stepladder and the small rungs are uncomfortable to stand on. It sucks as an extension ladder, flopping around like a wet noodle.
Think about how you would use it and buy the right ladder for the job.

Yep.... We have a Werner and the only time I use it is for stairs or steps. Too heavy, uncomfortable narrow rungs, a pain to use as an extension ladder if bushes or anything is in the way and most of the time, I eventually get a finger pinched. But, it is nice on steps for like changing a light bulb, or one of those 50,000 hour LED lights that lasts about 10,000.
Jut wanted to add my voice to the many others who are saying never again. Used to spend a lot at HF but avoid going there at all anymore. Been at least a year since I have been there. Used to be there every week. Hope they suffer.
I've been needing a new ladder, but am hesitant on buying a ladder from HF. Anyone used the ladder below? Is it worth it to wait for a different deal on a different multi-position ladder?

The point was, if they come out with better perks for membership that make it worthwhile, I may come back and participate. We already get a pretty good deal from HF. I don't pay for Prime and still buy plenty from Amazon. I don't pay for Walmart's program and like Amazon, have no problem buying the minimum for free shipping.
Here, very few hand tools are from HF, but we did buy a heavy transmission jack, concrete mixer, hydraulic lift table, drywall hoists, tool boxes, 20 ton press, etc. that were all deals at the time. I have used a load of their wet sandpaper, wool bonnets, etc. as an auto body hobbyist that have been almost as good as 3M at a fraction of the cost and we are a 3M dealer.
PS: Missed your edit, but sounds like you got a deal. It is nice to get a win once in awhile.
The Trump tariffs combined with Covid-19 and the related supply chain issues destroyed their business plan.
I stopped by last week for some acid brushes and a couple other items and they were out of stock on all but one of the items. Their disposable gloves are still over $15 / box, making it not worth buying from them.
We'll see if they can recover.
I've been buying the disposable gloves from Costco (if your local warehouse sells them). They are better quality and you get 150 for $13
I stopped going to HF and for disposable tools actually found some good stuff at the local dollarstore. Like screwdrivers and stuff for use in the garden or basic stuff around the house.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a battery maintainer for a AGM car battery?
Check out CTEK. They are included with some of the high end cars. I have the Multi US 7002 model which I use for occasional charging of a dead lead acid battery, but it says it works for maintenance and on AGM batteries too.

I am looking at the MXS 5.0 and it's in my Amazon cart. Just curious to see if there is anything with similar capability for less.
I'm looking for a budget cordless drill for around-the-house tasks. Which one from HF is generally recommended?
3/8 drill with battery and charger[harborfreight.com] for $28 before coupon discount is about as cheap as you are going to find anywhere "for a budget cordless drill for around-the-house tasks." With an adjustable clutch, it will drive screws and drill, but with 200 in lbs, it does not have a lot of power.

Man...check Facebook marketplace. There are always tons of cheap ladders, good brands that people need to clear out.

The Icon tools are nice and theres often a 20% off coupon. I'm waiting the next coupon to pick up this 13 pc colored coded ball end hex key set [harborfreight.com]
The color coding is neat but you can get Bondhus Made in USA metric AND English sets combined for the same price
