and they are 10 times better. It is the place to go, bought us a Predator Generator from them lately and a bunch of the tool boxes 
for doing mechanics. Can store and entire shop in 4 tool boxes, one of each color, red, black, green and yellow.

Not the big tools mind you, but sure makes the shop much more open and free.

I find HF discs to wear at a much faster rate than other brands.  In the end, the number of discs used eliminates the savings.

What people have to keep in mind with HF tools is that the quality control is not all that great, but that is how the cost is kept down.  As a result, the longevity can be suspect, and there may need to be adjustments out of the box.  For example, I have a hand held electric planer from there which won't cut square if the blade is properly seated per the instructions, which is exactly the way it came out of the box.  For my purposes it didn't matter, so I didn't bother to correct it at that point in time.  If it is something you are going to use everyday, you can't expect it to last long.  But it can easily tie you over while you save the money to invest in a higher quality product.  If it is something you are only intending to use once or twice, it easily be a better deal than a rental.
