I buy as little stuff from HF as I can. Why? Because China is actively working against the West to destroy everything we've worked so long for. They don't want peace, they want dominance. They don't want competition, they want control. And there are no laws to prevent them from lying, killing, cheating, stealing, etc. to do it.They don't have the ethical/moral background to even conceptualize laws to restrict themselves. They've taken the trillion of US dollars that we've sent them through outsourcing and instead of being grateful, they threaten us constantly. They spy on us constantly. They hack our phone networks, they put backdoors in their subsidized security cameras and routers, cell phones, and other technology to spy on us. China knows more about us than we do. I buy older American, Japanese, or European made tools, or even some brand new ones. HF's prices have shot up so much over the years that the advantage to HF pricing is not as significant. Knipex pliers or Icon? Well Knipex 8605250 are $58 and Icon are $39.99. That's significant sure, and we know HF has sales. But is it worth $20 a couple times a month to sell myself, my family, my grandkids, my country, etc. to China? Nah, it's not.
I've whittled down my ownership of Chinese products to a few hand tools, my power tools, my cell phone, and my computer. Almost everything else is European, Japanese, or American, with clothes being made in various countries (but never China). It was way easier than I thought it would be, and wasn't very expensive. People are just too lazy to look out for their own future.
