Actually I think HF has raised their quality standard significantly. Dad
bought a battery powered electric chainsaw that I fully expected to be junk
that is surprisingly good. We've mostly used it for close limbing on trees. Cut
the branch with clippers, then trim the stub right to the trunk with the saw
once all the limbs are gone, works a treat.
Based on that I'm seriously considering HF for my next cordless drill. My 12
year old Craftsman 19v is still going okay but I'm down to one battery and that
one is starting to get a little soft. They're only NiCd batteries, I wonder if
its worth trying to rebuild the bad one. I think its just got one bad cell,
it'll take charge but has no oomph. I haven't checked voltage but I bet its low.

yeah the cheapest trans jack I could find was around $75, and That is
more than I want to pay for what may well be a one use thing. I thought
HF had them for about $50, but they have raised prices to where I can
buy one locally for less. My guess is that HF has passed to the next
generation, and they are greedy. In the last year or two their prices
are often higher than elsewhere. It is no longer the purveyor of cheep
chinee chit.
