I make my living with tools and I have some Milwaukee in my truck along with Makita, Bosch and Porter Cable; all excellent.
I have 2 HF tools (the 4" angle grinder and the 3/8 drill) in my garage simply because I didn't want to spend the money for nice, but duplicate tools. It gets to be a hassle to go to the truck and unlock the box each time I want a grinder or drill motor.
So far, I'm impressed with what the HF tools can do. They get hotter sooner, but as a home hobbyist or secondary tool, I'd have to give them a decent recommedation. (And I really dislike buying stuff from China).
I also have a Milwaukee 7" grinder that stays home. When you need the big one, this is it. Use it all day if you want to.
