Imho, can't beat their bar clamps, for the money.. You just have to know that
you're not paying quality prices and you can't expect quality stuff..



We needed a bunch of 6" C-clamps to clamp up two bending rails. We
had about half as many as we needed and called the big box guys. Each
store had 3 or 4 each. We stopped at HF and bought a fifteen 6"
(all they had) and three more 8". The 6" were $5.99 and the 8" were
$7.99. They worked fine and were almost half the price of the ones at
the big box stores.
I also like their canvas drop cloths. They sell a 10 oz canvas 9x12
for about $17 and they seem to hold up well.

I've never tried any of their power tools.
