When buying tools it really depends on what the intended use is. Another great 
place for hand tools is Pat's Tools in in El Cajon on El Cajon blvd by the BMW 
dealership. The are great for automotive and industrial tools.. Pat's tools 
also carries used tools as well.

They have a location in El Cajon, San Marcos, and Chula Vista (off 5 at
 L
Street, my personal fave). I get a lot of stuff for my biodiesel hobby.

I recommend buying walk-in because otherwise returns have to go through
the mails. Also, before going in, cut discount ads out of their catalog
 or
print them off the web site. The stores will honor any printed
 discounts,
which can be considerable.

IMHO their reputation for shoddiness is way overblown. If you're a pro,
buy pro tools by all means. But if you use a particular tool only
occasionally, HF is the way to go.
