Ahh YES!!! I too have been disappointed by HF... By the shear joy and excitement of
breaking in (pun intended) my new double flaring tool...
... First use on a (what else) Brake line...
I have always been leary of buying anything electrical from them so that was a non issue..Thankfully... grinding disc's & sand paper is a safe bet...
I did get my beam trolley from them for my PHD, shown in picture, But the Airhose retracting reel (hard to see in pic) came from Northern...No complaints yet...
