Esco jacks are definitely not from HF. There is only a few things at HF worth buying. If a one off job ill never use the tool for again, HF all the way. If I plan on using it twice, ill buy something good. That said, there is a good thread on garagejournal about pass/fail items from HF. Their Daytona floor jacks are awesome. In fact snap on sued them because they are identical.

You can get a decent fan at that place

Esco stands are top notch

HF is hit or miss. Some things like the Daytona floor jack is the best deal on a quality jack you can find. They have a ton of throw away tools but they have some stuff that is fairly decent. The Icon line is pretty good if they have a coupon going. They are as good as Tekton or any other middle of the road wrench or socket. It's priced about the same as Tekton but they have 20% coupons every now and then.

One thing I do not like about the icon wrenches I have is they mar the heck out of a fastener.

Could you imagine taking Jobys tool budget to HF/Tekton/Gearwrench? It's 2 complete turbo builds

Since I'm changing the lenses on my side marker/blinkers, I thought just for fun I'd change the led's in a spare set of lights to red. I wonder if I'll get pulled over if I run these.

I own that exact Snap-On & would like to see this test after 5-10 years of use

I don’t Trust their tools enough to use in my line of work, as a few guy’s have different items & they’ve all had multiple issues

Regardless of warranty; not gonna hurt myself (or what I’m working on) because of a chit quality tool.

That is another good one they have.

The high end welders have really good reviews also.

They offer a paint gun that can go toe to toe with big names too.
