Thanks, Peter.
I kinda wanted to lay my hands on one before buying but they are apparently
a new item for HF and as I said the supply apparently didn't last long.
When I visited the store yesterday the clerk said contractors grabbed them
up so I thought maybe they are worth the price at least. I've purchased HF
stuff in the past realizing the quality can leave something to be desired
but when I don't use some of these tools often I like the savings. So far
not much response on this item though. I hope to hear from people who have
used these or the Fastcap but if not may go ahead and take a chance and
order four.
Thanks again,
Jer
