Last year I bought their $99 special 10" sliding compound miter say
thinking that if it was good enough to 2x4's it was worth the
money. I was very pleasantly surprised. A couple of cow-orkers
bought them too, one was pleased the other had issues with the
slider bearings being too stiff.
I bought a "6-n-1" 10Ga. framing nailer a couple of months ago.
The thing is *huge*. I'm not sure it was such a good purchase. You
pays your money and takes your chances.

Most people don't realize how important the accuracy of the
business end of a wrench is. A lot of times cheap wrenches have
crappy plating so they're off-size. I've seen some that were the
right size before plating. I don't think I'd buy any hand tools
from HF, particularly without seeing them. OTOH, HF is great for
things like chip brushes, gloves, and other throw-aways.
