I'm like most, I have an assortment of high quality tools and also HF tools. Snap-On.. older Craftstman.. DeWalt, Hitachi, you name it.. I'll admit it though, even though I've been burned on some HF tools.. I love the place.. :-D
My list of don't suck:
Flooring nailer.. I got it on sale for 129.. I bought it to put down 650 sq/ft of 3/4 oak flooring.. 2.25 inch wide oak flooring.. you can do the math if you want, but that's NARROW, thick oak flooring.. and 650 square foot of it.. I wish I had kept up with how many of those big staples I used... thousands... I was doing this all myself.. in the evenings and weekends after work.. NO way I could afford to rent a good floor nailer for that long.. I could have bought a good one many times over for the price to rent one.. but I also couldn't afford to buy a nice one.. so I bought the HF nailer.. first one worked ok.. but kept jamming.. I got 3 rows of flooring down and I was ready to throw it out the window.. took it back and got a free replacement.. that one finished the entire project and is still going strong..
The newer Pittsburg Pro deep well sockets.. excellent... they have a better finish than any sockets I've had in the past and have survived being beat on, used in my press when I couldn't find anything else to use and even sitting in the rain overnight without rusting..
1 inch drive impact socket set.. I don't even want to think about what a name brand set would have cost.. I've beat the crap out of these sockets and they still work/look perfect..
12 ton press.. works great.. it presses.. saved my can several times already with jobs that I'd be stuck without a press..
Motorcycle/ATV floor jack.. I modified it slightly by placing the lift arms on the outside instead of the inside.. not sure how to explain it, but to lift a Harley Davidson Dyna I had to move the arms farther out.. I used grade 8 bolts.. worked perfect and still works great..
1/2 inch impact wrench.. the one for around 70 bucks.. 450ft/lb I think.. always works.. no complaints..
3/8 drive composite handle ratchet.. black/grey.. works good..
