I've broken a lot of hf stuff, and have a lot of their stuff that has worked fine. I have broken their extensions an ratchets, but I was probably abusing them. No tighter than aluminum transfer case needs to be put together, I think you will be fine.

HF welder will do it, don't use their wire it sucks.
Ok what wire dis you buy and what thickness? Im new to welding and havnt learned all about the differences.

Also would their arc welder work better than the flux core?

Avoid any precise measuring tools from H.F.

Got that box at my shop. Had three yrs. Thing is awesome

I broke one 1/4" extention but it was my fault because what i was using it on should have used a 3/8-1/2" drive. Thats my only comolaint. But i also get the tools at a major discount compared to most so thats why i love em. $4 for a whole set of either metric or standard is cheap enough to break all the time for me. Im not paying 200+ for a company name.
