No doubt. The effect of worn tooling should never be spotted by eye, even at close inspection. Ideally, tool wear is picked up by micrometers or even more sophisticated/accurate equipment before it even gets outside tolerances. You generally start seeing a statistical drift away from normal. That you can plainly see the wear from many feet away is preposterous and, IMO, obvious criminal negligence if someone were to get hurt.
I get that this is HF, and they won't control their products like high-end engineering/manufacturing companies might. But you have to at east check critical safety components.
What faith can one have that their sockets or impact tools have the right hardness and won't splinter upon impact and take an eye out? Whatever little faith I had in HF is totally gone now.
