Tom- I hate HF junk BUT if I lived where you do and could buy the tools you
have at the prices youve mentioned- well I would think of myself as being
prudent while having a few of the tools they sell that arent as bad as the
majority and be elated at the bargains I or my son had found. Keep buying the
bargains and the decent tools, if I lived near you we would be there together.
Happt LDW.
