I love HF.

As long as you use them for the right purpose they are awesome. HF is for buying those odd tools and whatnot or other tools that you may only need to use a couple times ever. They are meant to be your primary set of tools. Buy something at least on the decent level (craftsman) for your everyday stuff.

HF is great as long as you know what you are buying isn't going to last and you will never be disappointed. Why spend a bunch of money on something when you know you are going to use it only a handful of times.

I actually have a HF credit card so I am always getting gift certificates in the mail. So in essences I get all my HF stuff for free. Can't beat that.

 

Do you have to carry a balance of any size to get those gift certifs? What's their advertised % rate, both introductory and postintroductory?

 

my third HF angle grinder just died. i guess its time to buy quality...

 

HF Tools for the most part are junk. I do however like some of them. I own one of central machineries drill presses, I've got a handheld grinder, a bead roller, and a few other things from them that are good. Try these people on ebay for CHEAP prices. Most of it is returned or scrathed or missing parts or something. I've bought alot from them. They are only about 30 min. from me.
