So, I don't really understand what's wrong with HF tools..

We've had a few HF power tools for a few months and there's been nothing wrong with them. The drill press drills, the miter saw saws, and the grinder grinds. They never broke, had any safety issues, or otherwise been a concern.

While they probably could work smoother (the miter saw just has a weird feel to me, after using a Ryobi last year), they work fine and we don't have any major issues with them.
