Yea, I hit them up for stuff too. Yea, yea I know most of it is China made, but what isn't these days? BTW, what's a "sata"?

Going tonight to get the Master Ball joint kit.
It's great for seldom used tools, but i won't buy any of China's finest that might fail and get me killed.

It is an expensive paint gun, nice quality, but with most things now days you are paying for the name.....

get the first one i posted, it has a larger tip so it'll put out more paint and it works better with thicker paints. i know you aren't looking for perfection if it's on a jeep..... but it'll be less likely to clog from thick paint.

Yes, the name is gay. It's commonly referred too at my house as
"Piss Me Off Auto". Half the stuff ya buy doesn't seem to work.
Those cute little 5yr old Chinese workers can't build squat. :)

Their "POWER FIST" brand is crap, but I still keep buying the stuff because it's so darn cheap. They have lots of strange stuff that you would never use in your lifetime, but it's good to have anyway. They had OE rear shocks for my truck a few years ago for $5.00 each, brand new still in an faded original box.

I've got so much HFT stuff in my garage that sometimes I'm tempted to put up a HFT sign over the door.

Some things I've learned about shopping at HFT:

- If it ain't on sale, wait. It will be on sale eventually.
- Wal-Mart sometimes beats their price on stuff that is not on sale at HFT - IF Wal-Mart has the same item.
- For the BEST Deals, sign up for the email coupons.

I have lots of stuff from them too. Our first compressor we used at out cabinet shop running 5" orbital sanders lasted 5 years and it's not designed for constant use of 2 air sanders the 6hp blue one.. they went to a diff brand and we have it now hope it lasts about the same for 400 you can't beat it same basic thing is 700 elsewhere.

air chucks tire guages even a 2" clear water pump for my homemade water wagon on a car hauler with a 1500 gal tank we fill to 700 gallons.

cheap trailer lights electric winches jack stands


and if it's not on sale wait 2 weeks is what the manager told me and it will be.
