| We were in Newark, Ohio yesterday and saw that a new HF store had opened up in a building where there used to be a big appliance store. HF is actually in Heath, Ohio on Rt. 79. Maybe will stop in to look around the next time we are in town. |

They have lots of junk and some good stuff. Sign up for their free monthly catalog and watch their coupons in magazines and local papers. Their hand tools are a lot less expensive than anywhere else and they carry a lifetime warranty plus they are adding upgraded lines also. Never had a problem with any of their wrenches. Their Badland wenches are good also, seem to be a good as Warn at about half the price. Since I am in the area of our local store a good bit I make good use of their 20% off coupons and freebie coupons. Had a very attractive and nice female manager there but she transferred to their new store in Anderson,SC. Now I will have somewhere to pass the time while my wife is up there clothes shopping. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

I bought a 7500 watt generator for right at $500. 2-3 years ago... Sets in the garage.. I get it out every 4 months, put a quart of gas in it and it starts on 1-2 pulls.. Run 10 minutes and then drain the tank......Only used a couple times in the field.... Suppose to be house backup for blackouts...CHEAP and QUALITY. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Steve I had one of those for home back up till the whole house genny got installed. That thing really kicked butt. I had a lock out switch on the service panel and a plug in the garage that the genny hooked to. I also run one of the 6hp motors on the garden tiller. Can't be beat.

Them little guys make GOOD MOTORS !... I bought a gas powered post hole digger last year for under $200. ... that little motor starts on ONE PULL after setting in the garage for 3-4 months... SOMEBODY did their homework on them motors ! ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Those are great little post hole diggers! If you hang the auger on something HOLD ON! something is going to spin and it might be you. The only bad thing is that they call for a 25:1 fuel mix and everything else I have runs on 50:1. Their motors are Hondas in disguise at less than half the price. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |
