However for us occasional wrenchers, HF can provide some effective tools for a budget price, if you shop selectively.
I recently bought their 110V electric impact wrench for less than 50 bucks, and right out of the box it performs great with rotating tires, brake jobs, etc. 270 ft lbs of torque and you don't need to go messing with an air compressor to get the job started. Yes it's big and heavy, but it gets the job done. I have yet to try the interference lug nuts on the F250, but I'll report back.
A full set of SAE impact sockets for 23 bucks and you're set.
I also bought their "rickety aluminum greenhouse" but if you screw it down to a set of stacked 2X6 risers to raise it 11" off the ground it gets rigid in a hurry.
Nitrile gloves FTW.

I've got one of their electric impacts and it's turned out to be quite handy. Got the steering wheel off my 116 in a hurry. I think I paid $20 on sale. Got one for my BIL at the same time. Makes changing out my snow tires quick work.
