Most of HF stuff is junk, but you can find a few useful things. Their molded rubber dead blow hammers are pretty good. The socket rail sets they sell are good too.

I agree, I use cheap ones for panel clamps and other welding. I dont wont to ruin my good ones with welding spatter.
As far as HF's and Northern tools other stuff. I have a few of thier blast cabinets and shop press. I use them pretty frequently, and never had a problem with them.
All my main hand tools are either S/K or Craftsman with a bunch of Snap-On ratchets thrown in.

Other than that I avoid any tools with Neon colored handles!
