They're not really all that cheap anymore and the coupons are a joke.  They're fun to wander but I don't really bother with anything besides basic tools I should already own but don't.

Yeah, I kept putting off driving the 45 minutes to harbor freight to buy a new oscilating tool after the last one died.
It turned out the local walmart had an extremely similar (if not the same) one for a buck more.

It's a good place for the oddball specialty tools that are expensive elsewhere and you're only going to use once or twice.  (02 sensor wrenches and such)
You can also get big variety packs of cotter pins, O-rings, springs, etc for what you'd pay for only a few at the big box or auto parts stores.

Always read the online reviews before buying anything expensive or powered by electricity.
I really like their titanium nitride coated drill bits.  They last much longer than the bits from the big box stores.

On the flipside, I tried to use one of their $8 power drills to mix a 5 gallon bucket of paint and smoke rolled out of it immediately.

The Bigfoot Hand cart is awesome.
The folding aluminum ramps are awesome.
My uncle owns multiple aluminum race jacks and loves them.

I have so many of the free tape measures that I don't bother getting them anymore.

+1  I'd probably visit HF more often if they built them near me. No matter where I've lived, they never seem to be just down the street.

I think they are good for a few select items like others have pointed out.

-Moving Blankets
-Tarps
-Tie down straps
-Gigantic wrenches
-Oscillation tools
-Dremel knock offs


Also, the entire store smells like vulcanized rubber. That could be either a good or a bad thing for you.
