Cabinet will bleed dust if you dont seal it,
I used silicone while assembling and have a old tiny shop vac hooked up to the dust collector output.
I just shoved a rag to make up the difference in the hose sizes
put about a inch of water in the bottom of the vac and get to work
no dust bleed, works great
The gun that comes with it is so-so
a TP tools bun is much better and damn cheap

I never buy hb stuff. That is for backyard mechanics who do a job once. How many times do they use half moon wrenches? I need tools that I use every day that wont break. Plus the tolerances on stuff like Mac are closer meaning you don't round deteriorated nuts.
Its not about being made here or not (gearwrench is imported and fantastic). its about end product with me.Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|Comment

I used to say that, but now everything comes from China :curse: I got a dolly from OSH for $50, then found the exact dolly at HF and it was $25, when US brand names were quality and actually made in the USA I'd buy them in a hurry, craftsman isn't far from HF overall, some good products, I purchased a $220 brand name floor jack from Tool Warehouse.com, then I got 2 more slightly smaller jacks for $80 each from HF to aid in installing subframes and I swear they came off the same assembly line in china, even the same bolts came out of all 3 jacks, HF of 15-20 years ago was crap, but their quality has come way up, and big names have gone down, my $150 S-K ratcheting box wrenches aren't nearly as smooth as they should be, I'd pay the money in a heartbeat if I was confidant I got something for it, but more and more it's looking like the same product in a different box.
This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.Comment

FWIW there are some things on there that dont require high tolerances to be a good products. I have a lot of HF tools that have worked well for me, but i also have some SnapOn tools for when tolerance matters.
The calipers are not something to live or die by, but for small things where the precision is not going to ruin the project [i.e. dont use it to build set deck height] its a great product.
