When getting into a new project or hobby, I tend to go to HF for the tools first. The tools are inexpensive, and I’m probably going to be dropping the hobby or thing soon after my hyperfixation dies off. So, that means I didn’t spend a lot of money on this thing that I’m not going to keep going on. If the tool dies, and I’m still into it, it’s not just hyperfixation and I can get a better tool, but now I understand what I’m looking for. Sometimes, the tool from HF is just fine for the long term, and honestly this happens more than you’d think. I have some drills that aren’t the best, but get things done for near a decade, and some yellow, teal, and reds that have died within 6 months.
My wife bought me a HF (Port Cable) pancake air compressor for a father’s day. It wasn’t the best, but it was from her and what she could buy without pinging the account in a way that alerted me. It’s just now starting to die off and it’s nearly 12 years old.
