The last tool I bought from HF was an engine stand when I was doing my '39. Of the choices they had at the time, I went cheap and got the one that was essentially a tricycle. (I know what you're thinking ... I know that NOW ) Moving the engine around, one of the castors tripped on a washer and a newly rebuilt (rebabbited and everything -- many $$ in that engine) and freshly painted 216 toppled over onto the floor. I grabbed it as it went to try and save it, but it pulled me over with it. Luckly the engine hit the floor first and I hit the engine. Ended up with a broken flange for the bell housing (where one of the mounting bolts was). Other than that, not too much was damaged on it or me. But I know how fortunate I was. Learned my lesson about going cheap on tools and have never bought another thing from them since.
