For the person who uses tools occasionally rather than in a trade, HF tools are fine.
Most of what one can find for tools these days are made in low cost labor countries such as China.
The familiar name brands that sound like quality are likely made in such countries.
Are the HF tools as good as the big name brands?
Maybe they are and maybe they aren't but for my infrequent use they are satisfactory.
I too am glad that the space is getting filled and as a HF customer this is very convenient.
The new hardware store on Union Ave. in Laconia and Tractor Supply might not enjoy this as much as I will.
