I have tools made by Milwaukee, Makita, McCulloch, Bosch, Estwing, and
Mitutoyo.
Those are very good tools.
I saw nothing of that quality in the Kent WA HF store a month ago.
Maybe my eyes were blinded by my disgust for what I DID see, and maybe
the good stuff is locked up.

While we were there, my brother bought a $200 grinder that looks just
like my $242 grinder from ENCO or J&L:

However, the HF grinder shook horribly and had to be exchanged.
He was given another grinder and 30 days to accept it or get his money back.
My advice to him is pay the extra money and get one from ENCO or J&L
