The type of tool is a great idea and it works. I bought the HF model
over the high priced brands and I'm glad I did. It has gone missing
and only little tears for the $25 tool versus big tears for a $200
version.

I thought the HF version was serviceable. I bought it for a
particular job and it accomplished it. My question though, would have
the Fein, Boxch, or other brand have done it easier or faster or not
have vibrated my hand as much?

I've not decided yet, but when I need the tool again I may replace it
with a different brand. Or not. Depends on how much it is needed.

I've got both the HF version and a Bosch. I've "donated" the HF to my
local model railroad club, so use it once in a great while. The Bosch is
much quieter and much calmer. With the HF version, I feel like I need
hearing protection while with the Bosch there's no need. The Bosch also
vibrates much less at the tool body and has soft-start so it doesn't jerk
on.

As a plus, the Bosch has a holder for the hex wrench on the cord. Nice
to be able to find it when you need it.

There's a noticable quality difference, and I feel it's worth the 4-5x
difference.
