my jack has never let me down and never needed maintenance, my impact socket set works perfectly, my breaker bar does it's job, my 3lb sledge is great, their zipties do the job, and my impact wrench has never hiccup'd.

We've had 2 HF jacks for ~3 years and aside from one of them needing a bleed about a year ago they've been great. Now the airdrill... that's another story... but perhaps that was Mike's faulty usage.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Of the 1,000 pairs of disposable gloves I've bought from them they all did their job. Their Hydrolic table still holds my engine up when I drop it out of the car, their transmission jack still jacks up the trans, the recip saw I got for $15 2 years ago still recips, the 10pk cutoff wheels I get for $5 cut through metal, the 15" chop saw still chops steel, the 4' utility trailer I got still hauls shit, my welder still welds, should I go on?
get your head out of your ass and open your eyes, just b/c something is cheap doesn't mean it is shit, does some of their stuff break? Yea, of course it does, would I have 1/2 the tools I do now if it wern't for them? Probably not.
If anybody remembers my trailer story, then you know where I'm coming from. The metal was substandard cheap shit, and didn't last a 3rd trip and almost caused a huge accident on the road. The impact wrench I bought from them also didn't work at all.

I have not had any problems with the HF products I have purchased.
I have purchased a 4 x 8 utility trailer, impact gun, and torque wrench, all of which have not let me down in few years I have had them.
They do have cheap and lower quality products though, in which I guess I was lucky to not get the lemons.
