  1. Im a professional machine tool mechanic. I have a ton of Proto, SnapOn, Craftsman etc etc. When I have to buy a tool that I may not have on the truck while Im on the road, HF gets my money. HF has improved their QA a BUNCH and I have no issues buying a tier 2 or tier 3 tool from HF. Tier 1 tools are better than they were 10 yrs ago... but.. its pushing ones luck if one buys a Tier 1 tool for an industrial use. They are "ok" for one or two uses by a home owner shrug.. but.. I avoid buying Tier 1 like the plague because I use them in an industrial environment.. Stuff like air tools, soldering gear, etc etc are wobblers between the good and the less good. Take care of them.. they last a long time and work well. Pnenumatic tools, work well. Power tools, work well. Ive burned up more than a few of the cheap angle grinders in the past 20 yrs purchased at HF...so now I simply buy the good Tier 2/3 tools and never worry about them. Yes.. I have high end stuff.. generally at home in my shop. I go into a lot of places that the employees will clean out a tool box while Im on a bathroom break...so HF (and yard sale) tools is what I generally work with. If I have to do something special.. use a 10" proto impact socket on an IR 1" impact driver.. Ill load it up from home, and at the end of the project... take it back home. HF has been a money and time saver for me. Big thumbs up!
