Bogging down on that concrete because you sank the bit past the end of the flutes. Rule of thumb, always leave 2*diameter of flutes exposed above the hole when drilling (so 3/8" bit = 3/4" of flutes above the hole). If you need to go deeper, get a longer big. Otherwise you're gonna put a bunch of unnecessary stress on the drill, bit and whatever work piece you're drilling into.
I bought the Hercules miter saw several years ago. I was very impressed with it. It was dead on right out of the box I didn't have to do a thing to it. It has a double shadow line on it, very accurate. I took it back & I regretted it. The only reason why I took it back is I moved & I wanted to place it up flush with the wall. I purchased a matabo from Lowes it took allot of messing with it to cut accurate. I would recommend any of the Hurcules line
I just got a Hercules brushless drill and brushless buffer and they are awesome! Well built tools, and with all the free batteries you get it’s unbeatable!
Im thinking of switching over from Milwaukee Fuel 18V which I only have the Impact & Drill combo. Never added to the collection because they are pricey! May sell them and start a new line of Hercules
Excellent video Clint! They‘re truly catching up to brands like Makita, DeWalt, and Milwaukee. Please compare the Hercules brushless vs M18 FUEL. Tool duel trilogy!
The length of warranty and most of all being able to walk into a HF store 7 days a week and do an on the spot warranty exchange is huge in my opinion. Thanks for the video Clint!
Ive been enjoying the Herc tools ive picked up so far, recently caught a deal at HF. I got two 5 AH batteries for $89, i have a wide variety of cordless brands i use black & decker, Milwaukee, skil, Hercules having a bunch of different chargers is a pain sometimes but the herc tools seem good qaulity so ill probably be picking up more in the future just based on bang for ur buck.
👏👏👏👏👏👏Clint your right about tightening up the drill bits. My new Brushless DeWalt cordless drill/driver, I put in the drill bit tighten it up, twist it one more time clockwise then the bit is locked in. Keep’m coming
Those screw type spade bits are great when you need to drill all the way thru a board, but they suck when you just need to go part way thru. When going part way thru the tips grab so good it's difficult to slow down without going further than you need. For partial holes use the spade bits without tapered screw type ends.
I'm finally going to be able to use my self feeding paddle bits. My old hercules drill and hammer drill can't make it through a pine 2x4 without bogging down and stopping even on speed 1.
Grew up at harbor freight with my father. So 20+ years.He’s always loved and done heavy duty work with HR tools.. now I get to enjoy it myself. It’s never the tool always the operator.
I love my hercules tools and I take care of them, but man I've seen some near decade old milwaukees paint splattered, grease covered, scarred up from falling off roofs, chucked into the back of trucks like they're empties and still work like the day they were bought and outperforming pretty much any tool on site.
Something I want to add, when you buy a tool and it had the warranty if it breaks and you take it back you can buy a nother warranty for the replacement tool so you shouldn't ever have to buy the same tool for full price ever again unless it breaks outside of warranty
It looks a lot like a Milwaukee I’ve actually found Milwaukee vise grip style pliers at harbor freight and it’s the same warranty on the drill as Milwaukee
If it bogs down and don’t go into protection, then there’s no protection like REDLink M18. Dewalt makita bosch had this issue 5-8yrs ago and started to smoke. Then they changed their design to be like M18
I got the brushed version of the impact and hammer drill before they came out with the brushless and got made fun of all through out construction school but I tell you what I loved those tools they were great and kept up just fine with the big boy Milwaukee and DeWalt tools
Yo Clint! HF really coming along. And, yes, just walk up to the counter if there's an issue. With, both, Milwaukee and Ryobi, I've had warranty work done and replaced but only with mailing back the original. At HF, it's on the spot, over the counter. No fuss, no muss.
I am happy to see Harbor Freight stepping up their game the Hammer Drill seems like it has what it takes to hang with the Big Boys but I am already heavily invested in DeWalt and Ridgid power tools but someday I may give Hercules a try nice review 👍
Clint, enjoy your reviews. I looked on Harbor Freight site and besides Warrior, Bauer and Hercules power tools, I see they have an Atlas brand. Are you familiar with this brand?
I have the new impact, several of the brushed tools and the mitre saw and stand. I would put them up against anything out there. Especially at the price and with the new warranty.
Milwaukee's service center process is a headache. Having a harbor freight nearby is a huge draw if they make the hercules line expansive enough in the next few years...
I watched a UA-cam dude that called the top manufacturers and some said that the click back was definitely a lock, I really wish I could remember who it was and if I recall dewalt and makita said it was and a rep from ryobi said he never heard of it on their brand
I'm not going to lie I'm very impressed with that hammer drill and I'm sorry $89 that's like one third price of my DeWalt and that rite there my friend is real nice like!
@@ToolReviewZone that's ridiculous... My In-law is getting into ice fishing and he just recently bought a Ice Auger and need a drill for it to attach to his Ice auger. I use my Ryobi for my Ice Auger and it works for me at 750 Torque. So if this is at 1,200 Torque for $69.99 that's just ridiculously good. I didn't even know Hercules got this crazy. His Ice Auger recommend a drill at least 750 Torque or over and that Hercules is definitely a over kill but a good over kill. I'm honestly impress...
It's fun to see there's definitely blood in the water after FLEX jumped in, and if this isn't proof the gongs of 'competition' have been rang, idk what is lol
Is this a moment of parity with cordless tools? Wonder if new battery tech and tech from Milwaukee / DeWalt / etc in the coming months or year will separate our usual favorites from interesting HF tools…???? Sorry for being so philosophical. Just curious and I don’t have inside info.
You are correct. HF licensed Bauer Power Tools to TTI as well as Hercules so they are indeed manufactured by them. They don't use similar parts to a Milwaukee but they are made under the same roof.
There is no reason to require a receipt for warranty. They have us all on file they no you bought it. It's chessy because they know most people won't be able to find the receipt. No receipt needed at auto zone and other stores.
Some of us actually have to run a 9-10" 3/8" hole through filled cinder block to install a power cord......bogging down to a crawl at 5-6" doesn't cut it. Specs match up as if it's a kobalt XTR, but the ergonomics/clutch settings don't match as the kobalt uses a two stage selector system. Only time I've had the kobalt bog down in concrete was when the battery ran out. New tool....does it have anti-kickback? That's a feature to make it more "pro" level. 1200in lbs of torque can really do a number on the wrists when the tool doesn't stop it when caught by something.
the drill bogged down because he went well past the flute. you shouldn't be drilling a 10" hole with a bit that has a 5" flute, you should be drilling a 10" hole with a bit that has a flute longer than 10".
I got one and it gets hotter than heck just drilling wood. Think I’ll exchange it. Anyone else seeing this drill getting super hot? Almost too hot to hold
I'd definitely try to make a living with it. 5 year warranty? If it breaks I'd exchange it out. You get your money's worth and then some. Put it through the ringer and then make claims, these are new tools built to higher standards.
@@tylerdurden7869 if you get the bundle deal that has the battery, drill and charger..all ya got to do is buy the bundle..then return the battery and charger and just keep the drill and get it for super cheap!
Competition forces other companies to step up. In the CPU/GPU market AMD stepped up and forced Nvidia and Intel to make better products to stay relevant. Hercules Will force the Milwaukee's Dewalt's of the tool market to step up their game or lose market share.
Ur math is not correct...by the time u buy your battery and charger it is not cheaper than dewalt...and after what harbor freight did with their lennox line i will never trust them again!!!
This video is a bit late . I watched there tear down video of the internals the gears are plastic . I think they compared it to a Milwaukee and DeWalt and Ryobi it was pretty much junk
This is going to be the biggest misconception with Gen 2 Hercules...or Gen 1 brushless. People are still going to think it's cheap plastic brushed junk. When these tie Milwaukee/Dewalt/Flex in benchmark tests and we get to see real world durability tests in the coming months, people will realise they are built to higher standards now and can hang with red and yellow.
@@44warden That helps, especially for a DIYer. But if you’re using them day in day out to earn a living and the tool craps out, it’s not only frustrating but running to store is costly in terms of productivity, time, and money. Just saying many of us would want to know the durability of the line before investing. Also, I’m curious as to how the warranty actually works. If you bring in a tool and get a replacement does that replacement tool have a warranty, and if so, how long?
You think harbor freight freight went pro? I would have to disagree all they do is go after copycat manufacturers of tools because they can't find their own original manufacturer of tools instead they steal from brands Snap On, Knipex and so many others.. I prefer the original designer of that tool that got it right the first time, not a copycat
I understand were your coming from and when I can I do the same. But hate to break it to you, but all the brands you just listed copy from each other. Design teams change a few things to get around patents, but thats it. A lot of brands have their products made in china ( i agree this sucks ), the sad truth is that these large mfg outsource to smaller mfg and once they have the process and tech, they start making products for the rip offs. You see this happening with high end machine tool bearings like nsk, literally side by side you cannot tell the difference, its got so bad the only way to tell is to scan the qr code and see if it was registered. Ive worked with chinese mfg in a different industry, and when shopping around we realized that the company we originally had samples made from was outsourcing to another company and marking it up 250%. We could tell because the tooling marks and other witness marks were identical. What Im getting at is these tools are likely made in the same factory as their competitors, to different specifications but very similar. The model in china undermines intellectual property but in return breeds mfg prowess.
it's a no brainer. Hercules is the brand to go with for pro tools now.

@@ToolReviewZone I enjoy all your videos Clint, keep up the awesome work,
Only one thing to say Clint keep on doing what you're doing keep us informed
I recently a 1/4 Bauer impact and am extremely impressed
Haven't tried them, buy appreciate the info

When going part way thru the tips grab so good it's difficult to slow down without going further than you need. For partial holes use the spade bits without tapered screw type ends.
I got this drill today, I gotta say I am very impressed so far. I would say this is a big upgrade from my DeWalt brushed drill.
I'm finally going to be able to use my self feeding paddle bits. My old hercules drill and hammer drill can't make it through a pine 2x4 without bogging down and stopping even on speed 1.
Thanks for testing out them spade bits. I was wondering about that design. Now I will buy a set
Grew up at harbor freight with my father. So 20+ years.He’s always loved and done heavy duty work with HR tools.. now I get to enjoy it myself. It’s never the tool always the operator.
That new impact driver also jumped to the front of the line.
I am team Milwaukee but that was PRETTY IMPRESSIVE Clint!!!!
I love my hercules tools and I take care of them, but man I've seen some near decade old milwaukees paint splattered, grease covered, scarred up from falling off roofs, chucked into the back of trucks like they're empties and still work like the day they were bought and outperforming pretty much any tool on site.
I won't be surprised they bring out a track saw and cordless router the way how things are going now a days in the tool industry.
I think a hercules metal cutting saw is in the works because bauer just launched a 5 3/8 saw and there's a a 5 7/8 saw blade with no saw yet.
Can confirm
@@ThePainkiller3666 Can confirm
They did 😮
I'm impressed with the spade bits. The diablosch type isn't all that since the side spikes dent very easily. Might try them out.
Thanks for bringing some moisture to the video, it's been real dry like in your videos lately!

I would say, watch the whole video and you will probably find the answer you are looking for 👊
@@ToolReviewZone hahaha just did and realized why 😅😅
🤣👊👊
The reason the concrete bit bogged is you reached the solid shank area. It could no longer clear debris from the flutes.
Definitely stepped up their game

Yeah brother man Dave. It's a pretty awesome warranty set up for sure
I'm impressed with the drill and especially how the bits worked. Can't wait to see it live. Thanks for the demo.
Been looking for a new hammer drill now I’m kinda leaning towards Hercules when it comes out
It's out now. I picked both the drill and impact a few days ago
They also have a new 21700 cell 4AH battery to go along with these new tools.

I love these small drills we're seeing lately. The new Dewalt, Kobalt, and this are super compact!
Does anyone know if Harbour Freight operates in Canada or is Hercules brand available?
Might be able to buy online and have it shipped, but there are no international Harbor Freight stores
If they stepped up their game sooner before I already bought everything Milwaukee I definitely would have considered it
