Nope, not a hoax.

I've been a member of the Handyman Club for 16 yrs. now and really enjoy the info in their magazine.

They also send you little things like tape measures, Handyman Club patches, and small levels in hopes of keeping you in the club each year. It's fun to get this stuff.

I too am a Handyman Club member...a "Lifetime" member...been one for years. It is my experience with this "club" that they want you to buy product from them. Early on, I had bought some items: First a leather coat that was "included" in my "Lifetime" membership fee. China. Then an cordless drill that failed at it's first use (replaced for free). China. Thirdly, a "zip" tool. China. And lastly a wood/glass display chest. China. I started asking and never received a reply to the question; Where is it made? I quit asking and I no longer buy their product. They do knot like me. Now I see in their literature that a Lifetime Membership may be limited to a certain amount of years. I am sure that one of these days, I will no longer be a "Lifetime" member. I wood rather have quality tools then the er...shtuff they sell, or the "freebies" that they send out with every new offer of product.
