Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | 99% of the stuff that I get from HF has been useable tools that are worth what I pay,and sometimes much more than what I pay. I have a shop full of tools I could not justify owning for once or twice a year use if I could not buy them for a HF price.
The Chicago Electric paddle switch grinders,12 V battery power grease guns,1/2 VS drill all have been worked hard and seem as good as anything else at 1/4 the $$
A rule of thumb I use to judge HF stuff from a catalog page is that if the price is ALMOST too good to be true,it may be true. If the price is really too good to be true (IE $9.95 grinder) then you should consider it made of leaverite,and leaverite there.
Watch every page of the sale flyers,they have price leader deals to get you to look at every page where a known good item is listed for near 1/2 price. An example is the very good 4-1/2 paddle switch grinders ,regular $29 which are identical in every way to a $60 Black & Decker,sell in those ocasional price leader ad's for $17. |
