Tab, the cheapie HF guns can actually be pretty good from what I hear. I am of the school that you get what you pay for. I have done this stuff for a living for over 25 years and have found that a good tool will save your butt. But on the forums and people I have seen in the shops, there is something to say about the HF guns.
First off, EVERY SINGLE TOOL at HF is a copy. Out side of gun powder a few thousand years ago, China has not had a wave of developing tools and equipment. What they do is take a long standing product and copy it. Sooooo, the HF gun is a good copy of a Sata NR95 (as I remember it is the NR95). Sata makes some of the finest, best selling guns in the world. I have had people swear by the HF copy. So for forty or fifty bucks, it's worth a try.
