I'm on my second powdercoating gun. Not sure why but it starts spewing out clumps of powder. i just exchanged it and the 2nd gun has been working great this past 1.5 months. We'll see.

I also have HF angle die grinder and stapler. I didnt spend more than $50 on both. Works like a champ. I also have their cherry picker. I understand the cylinder gets bad pretty quick but you can always buy a better cylinder somewhere else and stick it in there. The frame is great and feels as sturdy and damage proof as a craftsman.

I also purchase their glass bead products. Very good media and does the job I need done. I'm tempted in purchasing their blast cabinet but hell, I made mine already.

Don't buy at store price and dont buy online!!! You buy online, you pay the freight. You buy at store price you miss out on the deals. Just do your window shopping online. Find what you want online, print out the discounted price and take it to your local store. They will honor online prices (if it is in stock). I believe the stores carry rougly 80% of what's offered online. Nearly all the products online with discounts are found in stores. And getting online coupons are easy. Just sign up for email/snail mail coupon offers. I get quite a bit of traffic from them.

EDIT: oh ya, I also bought their $7 float charger for batteries. I've had the MR2 in hibernation since first week of November. It's been sitting on a float charger since and it's been keeping its charge....
