If you can get a 2 year in-store exchange for like $50 more than that would be a positive. If it will out put to posted specs it would let some run roof AC when a Honda 2000i will not.
My beef with HF is going there makes me like a fat kid in a candy store.
As a person with tool and die background from long ago I love HF tools. I expect many slamming have not spent $3K at HF like I have over the past five years.
I am running the MH off a 12 gauge 50 ext cord from HF that works about as good running the roof AC as the 30 amp RV ext cord at a fraction of the cost and weight. For little $$$ I can remove about anything with all of the seldom used bits and wrenches we have.
With out wrench sets up to 2.5 inch I use a 2 pound hammer if needed to remove or replace without concern and so far never broke one. The large size of offset open end wrenches get used in tight places quite often.
I agree the professional charging $100 an hour shop rate can and should spend $5000 to get what I can get for $500 at HF. HF enables us to save $1000's in labor and the hassle finding and getting the stuff to a shop for repairs.
Those with some skills can and will find HF an asset. I teach the kids to grab HF wrenches vs our Crescent and Craftsman wrenches when using a hammer on them. :B
