I have drill press that is 30 years old from HF. I another one that is 7 years old from HF. I have or have owned multiple products. I have some welding clamps...which while they aren't that good, they aren't really that bad. It has a long "tong" one in the set, which I use when I need to reach far under the table or part to clamp something. I have to make sure it clamps squarely and while it doesn't hold a lot of pressure due to the length, it's paid for itself many, many times over. I have a saw that I loaned a friend 10 years ago and he's still using it. I have had several grinders. Last one was stolen off my truck on a jobsite, and left me brand new DeWalt sitting beside it. I guess the bright orange was prettier than the industrial yellow. I had a couple of welding hoods a few years ago, and one lasted quite a while, but the other I had to return and exchange it for the one that lasted. My first plasma was a HF, italian built job. Still have it. I bought a cast steel anvil (100+lb) The biggest disappointment was a 200 amp MIG I bought from HF. It was a roll around unit, built in Russia. It had the best arc I had ever seen but the constant bird's nesting made me return it and get my ESAB.
