Some of their stuff appears to come from the same offshore factories. Some looks different.

RichG, are you looking at something in particular or just their general catalog?

I'd say the english wheel part number WFEW2 for $595 is the same as HF. Cheaper at at HF.

I have a Woodward Fab bead roller, purchased thru Summit (had free shipping and coupon) came with the Woodward decal on it. Like most chinamart tools, it needed treaking out of the box before I used it, but after that I'm happy with it. I've seen their display at shows, I'd consider buying another tool from them.

I've got 2 bench shears from woodward fab and they both work great, the english wheel has a better wheel and anvils than the harbour freight unit. bead roller is the same as hf. seems like they have a mix of good and cheap tools
