Is the Handyman Club of America still B.S. ?
Did anyone ever really get tools sent to them to test?
I know I was a member for a while, a while back, and I never got any, just
little drill gauges, and glue spreaders and the like.
I forget how the magazine is, is it worth $12.00 a year? How many issues are
there?
Is this a new thing the $12.00 a year, IIRC it was free before.
Thanks, Tony D.
Their membership cards are real good for spreading glue.

Is it still called Handyman Club of America?
I recall being asked to join as a Charter Member about 12 years ago and a
Charter Member again 11 years ago and a Charter Member again 10 years ago
and a Charter Member again 9 years ago and a Charter Member again 8 years
ago and a Charter Member again 7 years ago and a Charter Member again 6
years ago and a Charter Member again 5 years ago and a Charter Member again
4 years ago and a Charter Member again 4 years ago and a Charter Member
again 3 years ago and then they gave up on gettin me in as a Charter Member.
Still BS.

It was never offered to me as free.

The tools were junk.. don't remember all of them, but there was a mini
screwdriver set, a plastic drill gauge, some folding pliers and a flashlight...
All were harbor freight quality or worse and supposed values were like 5 or 6
times HF prices...
The good part is that she didn't fall for the "charter member" BS... where you
spend a LOT of money for a few cheap tools..

Goes back to about 94 or 95, whenever AOL unleashed a few million folks onto the
internet and screwed everything up.. *g*
We used to write primitive HTLM script to detect AOL users and deny access to
our pages..
