myself included sometimes misses the power of the iterative process

by that i mean and refer to making and selling things and improving
on past designs and past mistakes and making the quality go up

i avoided hf for years and years as the stuff used to be dangerous

but over time and by feedback from customers they have improved
upon the quality

due to their business model they gone slower than some
it is also due to the regulatory body that can enforce safety

compare tools to cars to airplanes to jet engines to rocket engines
for example

look at an old car and that straight steering column point right at
the driver

not trying to sell hf stuff but some of it is completely suitable for
the job and the price removes a lot of the risk and far as i know
they let you return stuff i usually will not bother unless it is a
high priced tool
