I have to say, that I have rarely seen anything that wasn't outright junk from Horrible Fraud, and darn little that was worth the price, no matter how cheap. (Then again, I tend to buy tools *once* - it's cheaper in the long run, with the possible exception of 'will only need this once, so I expect it to fail' type of stuff . . and that's iffy, since it has to actually make it through the single job . . .).
Heck, HF couldn't even come up with plates for a hydraulic press that would not break after a few uses when I made the mistake of trying them once. Claimed to be cast iron, but once broken, clearly just crap pot metal fraudulently marketed . . .
Just say 'No'!
To that end, while still variable, I have found stuff from Northern Tool much better, and they also carry some major brands . . . and some stuff that both they and HF rebrand and sell, Northern often has 3x the warranty, typically for the same (or lower) price!
