Having a good laugh at this thread, complaining about cheap tools sold at cheap prices , thats sort of the point of HF. Anyways, I have a a few HF items and both are still working three years later, ive gotten my moneys worth from them I feel, but , when I do buy stuff from HF, which isnt very often, I dont expect what I bought to last very long, if I did, then I am fool for expecting that, and should of bought a higher quality made Chinese made tools like Crastman.
