So have I, but I've also gotten some duds. It does seem that some
like to look down their noses at HF though.

Those are the looser-contractors who are loosing business to DIY
homeowners that buy a cheap tool from HF, do a job, toss the HF tool,
and still come out saving $$$ over the price of some knuckle
dragging, unreliable, alcoholic, overpriced contractor that may or may
not show up for the job.

(BTW, there are many, many, many competent, reliable and reasonability
priced contractors out there. But it only take one of the losers to
drive a DIYer to the HF tools and a bunch of $$$ saved.)

Sure, a lot of the HF tools only last a job or two, but a one time HF
tool is better than a one-time looser-contractor.

Well said. But it's "loser."

That's true; however, depending on how loose they are, a "looser"
contracter may well also be a loser.
