American Craftsman Windows: you wouldn't believe how junky they are

But I'm gonna try to convince you of it anyway.  Consider the hopper window:

• plastic handle, and only 1 of them
• handle doesn't get incrementally tighter as you crank it into it's well
• no overlapping of the sash & the frame, so wind just pours through these babys
• they can't hit their measurement numbers
• what's worse they only build to the nearest 1/4"

Go with any other manufacturer, and I guarantee you that you'll get a better product.  I installed 5 hoppers in my basement, and really regret not trying any other hopper vendor.  It seriously could only get better.
