Had never seen the Delta unit.
If the price was right -- I might have been lured into playing with it.
But -- if the Delta item ranks as "not too hot"
Which appears to be the concensus of the reviews (and could account for its being discontinued).
Then it sounds like my negative first impression of the HF item was right on target.
The HF item is about 1/4th the size and half the power of the Delta product - plus the 1/4" shank limitation.
Speaking of price-- I didn't see a price for the Delta unit on Amazon's site.
Do you have to register with them or something to see prices?
Yes -- I am one of those strange dinosaurs that still prefers buying in actual stores. |
