tried to buy a hammer drill from HF -- called them up - $25 -- OK so I drove out there -- quite a ways too

went thru 4 jerk-off sales people who blew me off, then finally got 1 to help a1nd found the hammer drill - it was $35

a bit PO'd so I went home and bought a factory refurbed BRAND-NAME one thru Amazon. Warranty; free shipping, etc. -- it was $50 and will last; I can resell it since I really just need one job done that requires it.

And I do not have to worry about the danger of having a power tool blowing up in my face.

Last year I bought a factory refurbed chop saw for $75.
