AFDD: Hager vs. Hager

Three months on from all my moaning about Hager’s AFDD offering, let us explore the many things that have changed - all the updates, all the awards, all the questions answered, all Hager’s proactiveness to win back the doubters and naysayers such as myself!

…or you could save yourself an hour and skip the friggin’ thing because it’s largely a repeat of last October’s “Hager Hatchet Job” video with nothing new to report except what awards Hager have since bagged and how I’ve been forced to introduce T’s & C’s to protect myself from the very weapon they made that’s supposed to be on my side!
