Saw a HF tool on TOH last night

Granted, it was used by a contactor and not Tom "Festool gave me lots of cool stuff" Silva, but it was odd to see a Central Electric (or something similar) Rotozip knock off in a very distinct HF orage on the show.

It even had H.F. written on it in marker. Probably just a coincidence and it is someone's initials, but that's what I noticed first.

I think I need a new hobby if 1) I noticed such a thing and 2) My first thought was to make this post.

Joe, your statement was powerful!

But, most important, you've got keen eyesight and a really great sense of humor to boot.

That made my day, and I thank you for posting!

The building trades suffered something fierce in this economy so its not surprising to see that happening on TOH, i am guessing that advertising is down.. It's interesting what woodworkers notice, isnt it

HF being someones initials? Don't be ridiculous!

Tom "Festool gave me lots of cool stuff" Silva

The Silvas buy their Festools from Bob Marino's in New Jersey.

I saw that same episode too!....it was a Chicago brand ( HF tool) being used by a contractor on the jobsite.

Pretty sure it was buffalo tools brand. I got one at HF a while back when I did some drywall work at my house.

Must be something wrong with me though, I didn't think to share my observations with anybody.
Guess I'm only half the woodworker you are.

Ha, I highly doubt that. More likely, your life is twice as interesting as mine!
