It is tough to gauge current quality with people's experience in the
past. As the suppliers for the tools change, some of them the quality
goes up, some the quality goes down. I general, I have had decent luck
with HF stuff. It is actually much better than some of the traveling
tent sales. I have spent big bucks at HF in the past: I have 2 HF
generators, one a 7000 watt, one a 600 watt, a bandsaw, and the 12x36
metal lathe. All work great.
