I've bought tools such as a multitool and sanders there. I've also bought wrenches, screwdrivers, tape measures, etc. Never had any problems with anything.

My take on HF is that if you are doing a single project and will never need the tool again then by all means save some coin and buy their stuff.
If you plan on using it a lot, just do yourself a favor and buy quality name brand tools. The difference in quality and longevity is always worth the cost.

I've been running a Chicago Electric orbital sander and belt sander through the ringer the past 2 years and they haven't skipped a beat.
I also have a bunch of the screw tight 12" and 36" clamps that work great for the projects I work on.
Like the poster above I have about 15 free blue tarps, bungy cords, and magnetic flashlights from coupons.

The recip and tile saws tend to get good reviews on use and durability of all their electric tools.

Anything non electrical is fine. I buy and use their air tools and wrenches, sockets, etc. watch for sales, super coupons, etc., and rack up. The free item is usually. Heap but you can always use the free, flashlight, screwdriver set, magnetic cup!

I get the overall point and I'm not trying to torque stuff to OEM specs to within .0000001 but I'd like to closer than "yeah that feels right"
I have a ton of work experience when it comes to critical torquing. What I have learned is that there are many variables that affect the accuracy of a torquing procedure. Condition of the threads, the type of lubricant used, how the lubricant is applied, it goes on and on. So if, let's say a 1/2" drive, HF torque wrench is accurate to within 10 ft/lbs, you're close enough for the girls I go out with. Most people won't get that close with a $300 wrench if they don't understand and address the other variables.
