Subject line quoted from their latest ad. ROTFLMAO

To each their own, Leo.

I have dozens of their handtools which honor that sentiment. When I
needed something which had to last and was used heavily daily, I
bought a Bosch Impactor. But HF's little power tools (and a hell of a
lot of hand tools) have a big space in my shop and work truck. I use
them all happily for a long time. Hell, I don't use a hammer that much
("screw it" is my motto) but I much prefer the $2.49 20oz HF
waffle-faced framer to a $60 Vaughn.

They still stock some real pieces of **** there at the HF stores, but
all it takes is one _look_ to tell that, so one easily avoids them.

I still have the pack of right-angle drill bits I got about 30 years
ago, on my first trip into HF in Escondido, CA. I think they're half
lead, half weak steel. The first one I tried using bent 90 degrees,
right in the middle, instead of breaking. I've never laughed so hard.
I keep it for the warm memories. g

You're being unfair. That's what they meant by "right-angle drill bits."
They were being completely truthful.
