Found this at my school and though it was very weird that back in 1999 HF use to sell Bosch , Milwaukee, ryobi,dewalt,dremel ,delta, ingersoll rand,sk,channel lock,irwin vise grips, porter cable ,Honda,Yamaha enjoy the pictures
Wow……we didn’t get HF around here until 2005 or so, but I can honestly say I had no idea they ever sold good tools. Thanks for posting this. That was really interesting to see!

I know it hasn’t been that long ago but it’s funny the prices seem to still be the same.

Adjusting for inflation they are actually less expensive. Compare that to the price of coke/pepsi is 1999.
It would be so awesome if they still offered all this stuff. Not only would I actually go to HF more than once or twice a year, but I’d stay a lot broke-er than I do now ?
Good find man, didn’t experience my first HF store until 2007, never knew what they were about anyways
wow I wonder why they stopped carrying all those brands
Would love for HF to still be selling top brands
Wow, I had no idea they sold name brands back in the day!

Profit margins probably were not as a good as selling cheap oem tools from China
I think 99 that might have been pre TTI Ryobi too.
