I hated HF with a passion for years. But then over time every tool available seemed to also be made in China. I bought some hammer drills, the big heavy duty kind and they are good quality and were cheap. Also a heavy duty corded drill, seems to be as good as any. They won, we lost. I was totally willing to pay more for a USA made tool, but there seems to be very few for sale now. I suppose it employs some sales staff here, but I am more interested in employing the people making the tools on the factory floors.
