I have 2 of their torque wrenches (different sizes) When I first bought them I brought them in to work and had our cal lab check them. They were good. I've used them off and on for the past 2 years, I haven't re-checked them, but nothing has broken or come back apart. Just make sure to back them off to zero for storage.

Check out HFReviews.com

A lot of HF stuff is the same thing you get from Home Depot or Lowes, just a different packaging and label. Some of it is junk, but you just have to weigh the job you at using it for and the potential for damage against the cost should you get a bad one.

Something I never thought of...thanks

I'm a do-it-yourselfer...home, vehicle & boat so odds are I'll never max anything out like some of you guys but you never know.

This.

I bought a mouse sander for like $13 and i've gotten 4 years of heavy use out of it. I'd say thats a win. I like thier long metal bar clamps as well. They are like 1/4 of the price you would pay at lowes.
