go to my local tool store or HF and buy Pittsburgh (sp?) or CK tools
which
are decent for the money. I wanted to waste my money, Sears would surely
be
the place to go. They seem to feel like HF is their direct competitor!


You mean HF is NOT their direct competitor ???? There is a reason
their tools (especially the power stuff) has been called "crapsman" for
a long time. Do a search on "Craftsman Routers" and see what kind
of comments you find !! ;-)

mikey

Their power tools are junk, but are the Pittsburgh wrenches and sockets
really comparable to Craftsman?
For a lot of tools and products I do agree that what you get at Sears or
Home Depot, especially from no name imported brands, has been HF quality or
less for a long time. Only difference is you pay retail prices for it.
