not really recommended, IMO ..
anything from that company.
I'm surprised it's not $ 4from HF.
( OK..'once in a while' there are a few things that are very good for
the price ..some tools now and then.
Since it's Friday .Illl just say ..............I just quit going to

The low cost is not worth the hassle and disappointment, half the time
at least. )
