The Harbor Freight and the Woodard Fab are one in the same. as far as the Pro Tool its nice but $599 is a little steep. I've had the Harbor freight goin on 10 years ( it has been and yours will need to be reinforced) about 3 years ago I got tired of trying to wrangle someone to spin the crank for me. So hit Ebay and snagged a 24 volt gear reduction motor for $35 a china 24 volt speed controller $10 a foot switch $18 and a H.D. toggle switch $6 (forward/reverse) and spent a weekend putting power to it. Since then I've bought a Hoosier pattern tipping set for it and had a buddy make me several sets of dies (that reminds me I need to call him about a couple more sets I need) I think the harbor freight unit will serve any home shop just fine (mine has) just remember it will have to be reinforced and all of the dies will need to be polished and the sharp edges taken off. Also I have rolled 1 inch wide 1/2 inch tall beads in 18 gauge with good results although that did make the motor struggle (LOL)
