Anyone who say's HF tools are good, have never used a quality tool. That's why Snapon says there is a difference. Because there is and your job will go smoother/faster and will come out better with a quality tool.

I don't think HF are "Great" tools but they serve me for what I use them for. Having worked in the metal fabrication business for 25 years I know good from bad and I agree: If your livelihood depends on it, get the quality tool. You won't be disappointed. My job doesn't depend on them anymore and not all my air tools are HF, but if I have to replace one of my $9 HF die grinders in the next year and it lasts me another 5 years etc, I'm fine with that. That's why I have several with different bits for each. Proper care is the secret for any air tool. even the best tools won't last long without daily oiling, or at least every time you use it if not everyday. I have my most frequently used air tools hanging in such a way as I can oil them all in a matter of seconds. I just squeeze the trigger on each and squirt my favorite tool oil in. I keep a cover over them when not in use to keep crud out because that's the worst enemy to air tools after lack of oil; Dirt
