It's a pretty handy place to have when you don't want a tool you can hand down to your kids, you just need a tool right now.
Don’t underestimate Baer or Hercules cordless tools. I have a drill, impact, chainsaw, and a pole saw, and they’ve been great.
There’s no such thing anymore.

I'm finding in the last few years the quality level of many HF tools is as good as pretty much anything else on the market.
I bought a small Fortress compressor and it's one of the nicest, most quiet air compressors I've ever had. And it holds pressure forever! Same goes for some of their cordless power tools.
I also have an Omni 3 in 1 welder that is damn good quality.
But, they also have the cheap stuff. There's a need and a market for both levels of quality.
Unfortunately, I have to go to McAlester or Shawnee for the nearest store. Each of them is an hour away.

I dunno--some tools cost so danged much that they'll be the only thing you have left to hand down to your kids...
The US General roll around tool boxes are seriously nice and well made. I want one badly, but I can't justify selling my full Kennedy set to buy one. 
This is a buy. I have 3 of them and they have proved to be equally as good and/or better than any other of the Mgf winches!
We are days away from a new store opening in Choctaw America !

For the most part I've always bought tools there that just don't make sense buying if you aren't a pro using them every day. Bearing pullers, ball joint presses and stuff like that. Big pneumatic press. I feel like that stuff is a good value for the non pro.
I hope they stay with that model and don't start upscaling too much.

I agree, but cost has little to do with quality or longevity in today’s products.
