HF and their products' quality--or lack thereof--come up as a topic every now 
and then.  I think they're good for tools 
you use once in a lifetime or the occasional quality product at a decent price. 
 However, the last two internet orders 
I've placed had serious issues.  In both cases they charged me for, and 
shipped, something not even close to what I 
ordered.  The last time I ordered a power steering pump pulley puller set and 
they sent a sheet metal screw assortment!  
The items are, obviously, completely different and the part numbers weren't 
even close (and the wrong items shipped were 
quite a bit less expensive than what I ordered).

Anybody else having similar problems?  It seems like they're using blind 
monkeys to pull their stuff for shipment.  In 
both cases a call to customer service straightened things out, and they had me 
keep the wrong items--whether I 
needed/wanted them or not--but I wonder if they were to send me a compressor or 
welder instead of the box of O-rings I 
ordered if they'd be so generous.
