Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.
*Excelente kit **MyBest.Tools** suficiente mente potente y ligero. la luz incorporada en el taladro es muy superior a versiones anteriores que se encuentra cerca del broquero.*
After the first 5 minutes of chatter I fast forwarded to see what the "Big Secret" was...it's no secret, it's a whole video of endless chatter....Thank God I did not watch the entire video but the start and ending!!
Thank you!
Agreed
Thank you! These guys need to go test out some computers or something and leave the tools to the men.
Thanks bro, skeptical of the click baity title, saw this comment and Knew for sure these guys are clowns
Exactly.
The secret is to cut a tab off the Hercules battery to fit it into a Dewalt. Just saved you 20 minutes.
And it's not even accurate
Savage thanks 😁😂🤣
Christ, what happened to my feed
pretty sure it doesn't work that way....plus even if it does fit it probably isn't safe...
Savage you the man! Thanks
Those two were the customers I dreaded when I worked at a hardware store.
Yup what a bunch of Tools. No pun intended. Kudos to HFT crew for being Professional with them. I know they wanted them out of that store ASAP
@@mikerecoil6283 a bunch of “men” who got 30min to be away from their wives so they used their time to pretend they were still in high-school.
@@JimSpence your description is spot on 😂
Don't worry they are paid big bucks to pose as actors!
@@JimSpence LOL. Exactly!!
I got a lot of respect for Stanley not abusing the warranty, “ I’m not going to return something I’m goin to intentionally destroy”. Good for you Stanley, that type of character is severely lacking these days.
john lincoln second
It's not like harbor freight is a mom and pop shop. It's the opposite in fact. It's the anti mom and pop and that's "the type of character severely lacking these days."
Support local businesses!
John Bronson yeah I’ll just head down to Fred’s where he make his own drills in house.
These days? Lol
You don't know he's not bringing that stuff back
I been in harbor freight a million times and Everytime I go I'm in awe. And as cheap as they are I still can't afford everything I want
Yep, there's always something more that we want !
ditto, me too
Welp, looks like you'll have to sell your body then....
@Robert's happenings they still give out free stuff at the food bank I hear.
@@Bigguy_33 oh wow that is a big mark up. Im thinking about purchasing their steam cleaner.
As someone who used to be a sales manager, I have nightmares about the times I've had to deal with a group customers like this.
The worst is when they do something they think is funny (and boy do customer groups that act like this think they're funny and clever) and their whole group laughs and generally acts obnoxious the entire time and you're standing there just wanting to die wondering what went wrong in your life while waiting for them to leave so you can just go to your lunch, but they'll keep talking and laughing between each other and being obnoxious thinking they're so funny and they don't care that you have other customers or tasks to attend to and that your short staffed, and you know none of the questions they're asking or stuff that they want to know really matters anyway because they know exactly what they're there for and exactly what they're going to buy, they only use your answers as a source for more material to be obnoxious about, while subtly trying to quiz you to see if you know the answers on the product.
I'm glad I'm not working retail at the moment.
This s***** part is none of them will ever realize and will be oblivious to the fact that they were actually kind of disrespectful and inconsiderate to the sales manager at certain points throughout the interaction.
The sales manager handled the entire thing like a champ and vanishes at the first opportunity.
I never worked retail and a lot of it seemed very obnoxious. I hope they asked permission to film before they ran in there and did all this.
Seriously. I’m sure Mr Dirt Monkey would love it if a group of customers wasted his time like this.
I like the salesman’s response to one question about which drill is better “I don’t know but it’s been tested on UA-cam a millions times” or something like that.
Agreed, being loud and saying unexpected things like destroying drills for thrills is hiw teenagers behave not grown adults
agree. just buy it, leave, and test it... but can't miss the opportunity for 1.4m views on this video.
@@thebluelunarmonkey They act like it was their first time in a store without their moms. There's something about groups of people that makes them act like fools, in ways they wouldn't if they were alone. And everyone thinks they're a damn comedian when they record video.
theses are the mins i wished i could get back in life
I couldn’t stand watching anymore more than a couple minutes. I just skipped to the comments. Thank you comments. 😀
Yeah I got sick and tired of them talking over the harbor freight employee within about 10 seconds.
Straight to the comments. Couldn't take anymore yapyapyapyapyapyap!!!!!!!
I didn’t learn anything from this video 🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️
I usually watch videos at 2x playback speed plus CC. Helps alot 😃
Painful…the male Karens 🤣
Their return policy is outstanding, especially with hand tools and truly "no questions asked". I had a ratcheting breaker bar where the ratchet stopped working. Showed it to the cashier and, even without a receipt since it was a Pittsburgh brand (Harbor Freight store brand) he told me just to grab another off the shelf and head on my way. Couldn't have been any easier. Very impressive!
Thanks for the comments Jack!
True but there tools break more then any brand, Do u really wanna have to keep making trips to HF in the middle of a project? Also Home Depot does returns just as quick & easy with Husky hand tools as I am sure others do as well
grizzy909, based on the wide range of ‘test to failure’ videos I’ve watched recently, Pittsburgh Pro tools are damned near as durable as the big name stuff like Snap-On, and Icon are virtually indistinguishable from a performance standpoint.
i had a ratcheting breaker bar snap into pieces but didnt know about the return policy, for some reason i kept the broken tool thinking maybe i can use the scrap metal then heard about the return policy about a year later. i thought screw it why not? brought it back and walked out the door with a new one no questions asked.
Yea, but youll spend enough in gas to have covered a decent tool... I watched a guy fracture his hand bearing down on a Pitts. 1/2 drive ratchet, literally after shitting on my "high dollar" Craftsman!
I bought one of those real cheap drills ($20)a few years ago. Not much torque even on the highest setting. They were $16 back then. Came with 1 battery and a charger. Good for drilling very soft metal or wood. On steel you could almost stop it if you bear down. Anyway came in handy on more than one occasion, especially installing a storm door. Great as a power screwdriver. The battery finally quit taking a charge. Since a replacement battery was more than a new set I just bought another drill motor with battery and charger on sale again. Ended up with 2 good drill motors with new battery and charger.
I had a guy in front of me once bring in literally a 20 year old electric saw that was broken and all he had to do is the the 13.99 protection fee and they let him get a brand new one. By far harbor freight has the best return policy next to Costco. Costco will take a broken 15 year old couch back and give you a new one as long as you have the receipt.
That's not making sense. They sell you a one or two year no questions asked exchange policy at time of sale for $13.99, 20 years is beyond the 15, or 27 months you can buy. What am I missing?
@@tubro007 you can extend the warranty as long as you want
@@phamilton0148 you can only get a 2 year or 1 year warranty. Sometimes the managers will let you bring back an item that isn't in warranty if you agree to buy the two year warranty, helps bring our numbers up. It all depends on the manager you talk to.
@@atlasramos5469 our store always allow people to extend it by buying another 1 or 2 year warranty when it expires or a bit before
@@phamilton0148 at my store we can't sell anything replacement plan unless they buy another one.
Honestly, I have owned a couple Chicago Electric and pneumatic power tools and they really do work and hold up!
In fact, I had a 4" angle grinder that I lent to my brother about 10 years ago, guess what, he still haves it and it works just fine!
ITS TIME HE RETURNED IT TO YOU !!!!
LOL
I used the Drillmaster for 5 years in my apartment. Worked great for every day tasks. Don't hate. Now I have a brushless combo drill.
Their replacement thing is great my son races go karts and one of the classes he runs is a stock predator class and when I bought his first motor the manager told me about the replacement and I told him what we were doing with it he said just drain the gas and oil and bring it back no questions asked and they have done it awesome little motors too
I bought the Vulcan 220 welder almost 2 years ago. The cashier talked me into getting the extended warranty. 22 months later the machine started malfunctioning. I returned it. No questions asked. Got a brand new one and another 2 yr warranty. Cant beat that.
I love Harbor Freight. Most of their stuff is great stuff for the home owner or the person who cant afford the name brand stuff.....like the guys filming this...
You just talk over the manager every time he tries to say something
I absolutely get the replacement plan every time I purchase a tool from HarborFreight, it’s a no brainer especially for the abuse that us construction guys and gals put our tools through.
Hercules 20v batteries, although they look similar, DO NOT work on the Dewalt 20v tools. They both have 5 pin output but do not have the correct temperature sense lead in the right pin position to work.
Sales manager, "It's been done on the internet already" lol. Could have spent the rest of the day doing something useful.
Have the Bauer impact and love it alot of power battery last along time, and we run 4in screws, metal tappers runs them like a champ, snap screws too. For the price and power its awesome
Harbor freight has a excellent return policy.
Years ago I bought a Chicago electric miter saw. I was siding a log cabin. Big thick siding boards needed to be cut.
I burn out a saw every day.
Every morning they replaced it for 6 days.
Eventually they refunded my money and politely asked me not to come back.
But the point is the exchanged it every time. No questions asked.
Did you get your monies worth?
You can cut out the plastic tab on those batteries and use them in a variety of brands. However, the battery cells inside are different so the cheaper batteries will use cheaper cells while brands like DeWalt and Milwaukee use Samsung and LG cells which are some of the best in the industry. Hopes this helps clarify the reason behind battery pricing (to an extent).
Yeah, I've learned that printed specifications on Chinese products are not to be trusted. It might be labeled 5 mAh when it's really only
my drillmaster drill battery has samsung 25r cells inside it, 4.99 each to replace if your not afraid to take the battery pack apart and do it.
@@zbow1974 Exactly, the major tool brands price their battery packs way too high. The name brand individual cells are like $5-10 a piece and there are 3 in a Milwaukee M12 2.0 Ah pack. That pack retails for $65, but only has ~$30 worth of batteries inside.
@Steve White Yeah, but only when purchasing on a consumer-level, you can get scammed like that. Harbor Freight or whoever manufacturers these packs would drop their cell supplier, if they found out they were acting shady, quicker than a mic.
I expected an actual test of the tools, not a sales pitch for Harbor Freight.
yes i fast forward through most of it but it didnt go anywhere
One of the cleanest stores that me and Mt husband has ever witnessed. Hands down very very impressed with the Harbor Freight store. Very well kept. Very professional staff.
"These are the Tools in Action guys. Who? The Tool in Action guys. Who?"
Damn that's a big Harbor Freight compared to my local one I go to.. 😎✌️
I know right i said the same thing
Double down on that. Mine's like 10 lbs of crap in an 2 lb bag.
I bought a 9 speed milling machine from harbor freight a little over a year ago,.. and lots of people said it wouldn't last long cause it was from harbor freight ! But harbor freight only sold it , they are a distributor only , the milling maching was made by central machinery inc. A well known company for their quality . I still have the mill and haven't had any trouble with it at all. Its extremely ridged and accurate ! I wouldn't trade it for a bridgeport ! and I mean that.
I still have and use my black and decker drill from 1978. Plug it in works every time
That's great Michael, thanks for viewing !
This “PLUG” you speak of?? 😜
Even electricity has changed since then lol
The Binford 3000 beats them all...& remember “If it doesn’t say Binford on it somebody else probably makes it”
"Binford tools is proud to present, Tim the Tool Man Taylor!"
I feel like a boomer for getting that joke
Ooh man, the memories “Oh oh oh,” (that was my best Tim Allen grunt laugh).
Thank you so much for this.
Shitty channel with click bait unsubbed long time ago
A while back, Snapon sued Harbor Freight over their Daytona floor jack. Harbor Freight then revealed the fact that their jack was built in the same factory in Taiwan, by the same people using the same materials. HF then counter sued and Snapon dropped the case.
Snap On's greediness led to Harbor Freight revealing just how high of a mark-up S.O. charges it's hard working customers. If S.O. did it with the floor jack, imagine what else they do it with, if not every tool they sell.
Extreme marketing at its finest. Snap on execs are on a beach front property some where
I don’t understand how anyone would pay snap-on prices. Your paying A LOT MORE for the “snap-on” name
PaganWizard ....I’ve found same jacks in Walmart, harbor freight and Napa, just their color and name brand put on. Yes, same manufacturer
I've broken way more SO stuff than I ever did Pittsburgh or Icon stuff. (Using things the proper way by the way)
The manager was a good guy and great attitude. Hope he still has a job after this video
I've had the $20 Drill Master for a few years now and it still works great. The NiCad batteries don't last as long as they used to, though. Totally worth it!
Mine went up in smoke. Will never buy one again. The chicago ones are good though.
I don't really need a cordless drill very often. When I do need one, the battery is always dead.
I have one of their cement mixers and one of their plate compactors. The compactor runs really well and works awesome for prepping for a small pad and it is nice and compact for stuff like prepping a walkway for pavers. The mixer works great mixing bags of concrete for tubes or small pads for genarators and stair landings and stuff. The predator engines run really well too, can't beat em for the money. I've even put them on snow blowers, just opened up the main jet a tiny bit to richen it up for the cold weather.
Thanks for sharing JG !
hey tim his name is Vince McMann. Ed McMan was Johnny Carson's co host.
McMahon....yeah these guys are dumb. I can't believe he has this many subscribers.
Either way, You spelled both of their names wrong. Learn to spell.
You know what 99% of people do know about H.F.? The drills come with batteries.
LOL! Yes, yes they do :)
"I wouldn't have a problem buying one of these drills." That means he didn't buy one.
Three guys walk in to a Harbor Freight and ask the cashier "Which is your best drill?" OMG!
I did some research before buying a Predator generator. I got the 3500. Anyways, I found out China has huge factories where one location makes Generators for a bunch of brands.
If 6 brands use the same engine, alternator and carb, those 6 different brands are built right next to each other to make component delivery more efficient.
Apparently, most products are built this way nowadays. One factory may make 8 or 10 different brands of drills. Those that share the most components are closest to each other. The factory figures out the most efficient way to assemble all the different brands.
If 2 brands look similar, I would assume they share most of their components and are assembled in the same factory.
No doubt, some brands have their own factory but most don't. Most brands simply have their own assembly line within a large factory. Custom brand components are delivered to that line and shared components are delivered to all lines/brands that use that component.
Duh.. you just now figured that out?
@@cravinbob I knew it, I just didn't know the extent of it. I didn't realize some of these copycat, off brand things were literally made in the same factory, with the same components, by the same people as the brands they are copying.
lol Somehow, I just pictured the big name brand item being made in one place, and another factory disassembling their product to figure out how to copy it. lol Nope, they just use different colored plastic, slap different stickers on it and assemble it on the next line, 20 feet away.
Harbor freight has good tools for the most part. Any reasonable person knows this.
99% of the people didn't watch this to the end!! 😂
18 minutes I’ll never get back.
WELL LOOKS LIKE AM GOING SAVE ME 17 AND WASTE BIT MORE OF YOURS WHILE YOU READ THIS THANKS & SOZ😁😁😁
comment section is either

No Princess auto in Quebec. All we have is Canadian tire.
power fister!
The $169 10.5 Amp Rotary Hammer is AWESOME!
I don't think there is a better value for that type of tool anywhere.
Ok, back in 2005 I bought a ELECTRIC offset dill. I had it for 47 days and had used it quite a few times on various projects. I went to use it on the 47th day and the switch went out. It being relatively cheap I went back to get another. Just so happened a employee walk up to see if I needed help and I explained my problem. The employee was the store manager and ask me how long I had had my drill. I told him 47 days and I sorta laughed it off. The manager said all ELECTRIC tools had a store warranty for 30 days. But, since she had seen me in the store on numerous occasions she would swap another offset drill for free. SO, you want to get to know the MANAGERS in person so perhaps they’ll do the same for you. ( Me and about a dozen guys were constantly purchasing tools at this particular store for about 6 months while working in town on company projects). Just saying
Stanley, you lucky bugger. I wish I had a Harbor Freight store near me. There's always online but nothing like touchy-feely.
Those types of warranties can be crazy good. It's worth evaluating the product you're buying and the cost at the time, but it can pay off HUGE. Back in the 90s when I worked at Radio Shack $10 would get you a 2 year replacement warranty on any item under 50 dollars. So if you were a kid buying 20 dollar earbuds, would you want to spend another 50% on a warranty? Hell yeah. We had a kid who would come in every week or so and swap out his earbuds because the wires would give out from whipping around while he did his runs. He easily got 30-50 pairs off that initial $30 cost :)
I use harbor freight generators, concrete breaker, rotary hammer, saw zalls. They get the job done, the warranties are awesome, and we can wreck em and return them for pennies. Also, they’re bits are good, but hilti or Milwaukee make longer lasting bits.
Thanks for sharing !
I've used Harbor Freight for years. I love the replacement purchase. And they honor it. No questions asked.
Agreed 👍
Me too. I just retired, from a career as basically an electronic field engineer. I needed wide range of tools but usually not heavy duty, and many seldom used but critical when needed. I often looked for sales, and bought a lot. Kept me going and allowed me to be a valued employee thru the years. Many tools I would not have bought at all, if not for buying here.
I work at harbor freight, never have turned down a return
Where at? I work at the new store in midland Texas
What if it had fuel in it? Lol
We're supposed to turn down returns until they drain the fuel but half of the cashier's don't even check 😂
@@TeamWagy for shame! never turned down a used pump return?
@@katieedmonds2212 nope I didn't turn them down, I told them who to call
You can’t beat the deals. And the amount of stuff they carry is impressive.
You are supporting the Chinese communist party when you buy from harbor freight
They act the same way I acted the first day I got my Costco membership. Walking around picking everything up saying "holy cow this is only $XX". Now I smile when I see others doing that.
That is so true. I joined costco recently and felt that way haha.
I go into Costco picking everything up saying "holy cow" I can get this cheaper at Harbor Freight.
I've had that $19 drill for almost 10 years now. Works great for almost everything I've needed it to do.
Why is it when watching these three I'm reminded of reading about teenage boy drivers. A teen boy with an average IQ drives ok - maybe. Add another teenager and the driver's IQ drops by half. Add a third and the driver's IQ is halved again...
They are probably very well paid actors?
“GMC and Chevy are made in the same plant “. They’re both made by GM...
They are also both crap made trucks. Only the v8s are worth getting. The rest of the truck is trash.
@@emanuelnamseth1469 pre 2007, after 2007 the stupid AFM system is in most gm v8s expensive to fix.
And both belong in a scrap yard. I would own no vehicle before I owned a chevy or gmc
Rotary Hammer for $100. Makes you wonder what the manufacturing cost of our favorite tool really is (Makita fanboy here).
Would probably make us very angry.
I have that Bauer rotary hammer. It is a beast. I drill 3/4 inch holes 100s at a time to put on pool safety covers. I also use it to break concrete to find pool leaks.
@@clayseale that would be a good video, on how you find pool leaks
About 33% of retail cost. Harbor freight operates on high revenue low margin stream similar to the Walmarts and Amazons of the worlds. So let's say it cost Harbor Freight $50 bucks to make that product and get it into the store, they still make money but they don't have a middle man like the other manufacturers so there's not that jump in price. So the typical manufacturers may make a product for $50, sell it for $100 then it gets sold to us at $150. Harbor Freight farms out the manufacturing like most everyone else, but that's where the price increase stops.
@Kimber 10MM we will never know till h e makes a video on it
I actually have a heavy duty Black & Decker in the battery on it is good for a couple weeks before I have to charge it I went to Lowe's and bought a DeWalt for $100 and I have to charge the battery on it about every 2 days so my Black and Decker was probably half the price and it's got more torque and I prefer to use it more it's a 14.4 Black & Decker
I snapped a craftsman and kobalt ratchets changing the struts on a grand caravan 1 month ago. Went to Harbor Freight, bought the 2for $9.98 ratchets, got the job done. Bought a corded drill for $9 bucks 7 yrs ago, after dropping it, and beating it up, STILL kicking.
Awesome Jose, thanks for the comments!
I have had about three of those drill master drills overthe years. Somehow they keep falling off the top of my ladder. I love them for a quick light job.
I honestly had a switch flip in my brain when you said 5ah for $50. Thats ludicrous and as a "fix it" contractor as opposed to a "build it" contractor, It makes perfect sense to me as long as they have a strong lineup of other tools as well.
This is hands down the greatest comment ever! The diff between a "fix it" contractor and a "Build it" contractor. NAILED IT! 👍
They have an incredible lineup of tools and it only keeps getting bigger. I will say the herc is better than the Bauer last longer more powerful but it seems the Bauer has an even bigger line. Probably cause that's what the average hike Diyer buys so they increase options for the highest seller not the best performer. Still have a lot of options in the herc and growing.
They don't! Very limited selection of battery operated tools. Especially compared to DeWalt or Milwaukee.
@@jamesf9610 cmon..incredible line of tools? If guys dont want contractor quality tools that's fine, HF fills that void..but its not a huge line
@@joeframer9642 Thank you for the feedback. thank you all for your feedback
They're trying so hard to get a "omg you're the dudes from UA-cam" reaction from the Harbor Frieght employee hahaha
OMFG!!! you guys focus like puppies with a squirrel nearby
middle schoolers at the store 🤣🤣🤣
I can say have more than several HF tools with the oldest being a parts washer that is over 25 years old and still going, my latest purchase being a 29gal 2hp 150 psi vertical air compressor in Dec of 2019 and at no time was I ever offered an in store replacement warranty.
Thanks for this information as I will definitely inquire with my next purchase.
20 minutes watching these guys shop. The first 10 minutes is worthless, I couldn’t watch the rest.
Ditto, thanks !! Luckily I did not waste more than a few minutes before realizing ;-)
A video test related to spotting guys who know nothing about anything besides pretending they do (maybe).
The only thing i got out of it was that u can ither use dewalt battery on their brand or viseversa
Regardless of the design, you can use any battery with most any other tool. Just buy either complete and ready to go 3d printed adapters online to use any battery with any other tool, or make one yourself from a deceased battery shell to fit in the tool itself and a 3d printed receptacle for the battery you are powering from. All 18v and 20v claimed tools are all 18v and use the same voltages. I have even made an adapter to use my milwaukee 18v batteries on an older 19.2 nicad porter cable tools and it works great even as the battery gets down to the bottom of its charge.
The charge and discharge parameters (Battery management Cards in the battery packs) for Li-ion battery packs are pretty much standard. Any DC motor that draws current from a battery doesn't care what the name on the battery case says. They're so very identical the tool doesn't care and the casing is just plastic packaging. Li-ion 18650 batteries are the key and common element inside. I removed a battery from it's original case, swapped it into another case and it charges and discharges no differently. I now have my second/backup battery replaced for my mower for half the price of the rare and almost unavailable and not manufactured battery pack. Kinda need it for my mutli-head unit; line trimmer, chain saw and hedge trimmer attachments, plus my lawn mower and leaf blower too. The quality of the Lithium Ion batteries used in some models may be a bit superior, but that's a premium/pricing issue only. The polarity of the connections are pretty standardized for connections to most chargers at a set voltage, 20 V is 20 Volts, 82 V is still 82 Volts.
But IF it were an APPLE product... OMG, it would be SO totally different that THEY would never be standardized or compatible with anything else and the premium would be a status symbol only... like most Apple products
My only regret in life is that I cannot give you more likes -without being dishonest with youtube accounts.-
group of piranhas surrounds the sales manager. lmao
Bauer is a clone of PowerPlus, a UK Brand of power tools. Pretty damn good stuff for the money perfect for a home gamer. I am no longer ashamed to buy tools from Harbor, their stuff has increased in quality a lot. I currently use the Pittsburg brand of tools for work as an auto tech.. just as good as the tool trucks
As a diy guy, Harbor Freight is awesome for that occasional tool you won’t use much but don’t want to pay a fortune for. With that being said, they have a ton of stuff for the person on a budget.
My step-father bought a Hercules impact gun
The thing stays charged even after taking off and back on multiple lug nuts! It's crazy good for the price! I'm a heavy industrial machine mechanic for the union, and I went to Harbor Freight and bought every single tool that I needed. Besides my ratchet wrenches they are from gearwrench.
Eastwood has some awesome ratchets. I got hooked
"Do you know much about these tools?"
He took that personally.
Hey we all know the real og tool man aka Tim the tool man lol.
I know _Tim_ the _Pool_ man.
Tim the Tool man referenced in a Harbor Freight video always reminds of the time at the tool store
"Hey Tim, needle nose pliers are on sale, buy a dozen get one free"
"Who needs a dozen pliers? But who can say no to that deal"
The guy with the Goatee and the black hoodie sounds like comedian John Caparulo!!!
🤣😁😂🤣😁😂🤣😁😂🤣😁
Larry, Moe, and Currley.
Intentionally damaging the tool and then to go get a replacement is a totally scum move. Just my opinion.
Glad you said no to the idea.
Keep your opinion to your self! 🤦
They are thieves !
Going to store to buy dramamine, and then I'll watch the last 17:30 of this video.
I bought a generator from harbor freight and people said it wouldn’t last 6 months and I have had it for 10 years and it works great
Your Harbor freight location is huge!

Harbor freight is my TOY's"R"US. My wife frowns because I always stop by to see whats new.
I have bought almost all of the Bauer line of cordless tools. Most of them I've had for 3 + years and have not had a single problem yet. Well worth buying.
Yes, no problem except for the thieves running rampant breaking into trucks and garages then stealing the tools.
My fav store for impact sockets and wrenches and my air compressor and so on and on lol
Harbor Freight's warranty really is awesome. If you buy a small air compressor for $50 with the warranty to try. Then you want a larger one you can bring back the mall one and put the price of the small one ($50) towards the bigger one. So if the bigger one is $100 you only pay $50 if you bring back the smaller ($50) one. Even if the smaller one is broken. It's crazy.
A bunch of Sally's going to HF to get tools. Bro get to the point and stop the click bait.
And who can remember buying mail order from their old catalogs and writing a check.. and waiting 3-4 weeks for whatever thing ordered to come in the mail
Harbor freight tools are the only ones I get!!! Forget any big box store for tools!
Saw your review of tools. I worked for a septic company 15 years.I used only Friskers shovels with fiberglass handles. Alway found electric was purpose of fiberglass. I broke 3 over the years digging and they replaced all
Once the salesman said "that's all been done on the internet already" i laughed, and clicked off the video
Why? There are videos on UA-cam proving their tools match up or out performance big brands like makita Dewalt etc
It's good to see the mentally challenged going out and experiencing the world. Sure they're in group, but look at the big ol' smiles on their faces over the simplest of things. Ignorance is bliss. God bless their caretakers for taking the time to take them out and enjoy themselves outside of their facility. Truly heart-warming.
I was working on a bathroom rebuild job use 24x24 marble tile We got the HF bridge tile saw and it was not cutting strait called HF corp HQ had to deal with typical call center rep but once I got the call transfered to they tech support in South carolina the Tech Guy was great
Good to hear Walt, thanks for watching !
So how many hours did you spend dealing with that when you could have been making money. A lot of times you think you're saving money but in the long run you're not.
@@DK-jd8bj We have been useing it 15 plus years now 90 min or less of My time was worth it
HF's building a second location here in Amarillo, not sure if the old one will close after the new one opens but it's pretty huge. HF is great if you don't have unreasonable expectations. The cheap $25 string trimmers work great for a while, but plastic gears have to give out after a while. It's good enough for one summer though. My 6" vise is made of cheap chinese iron, but it's as good as a 5" vice made out of quality iron, and a lot cheaper, it's worked great for 15 years. Some of harbor freight's products are actually pretty high quality too. I got a 42" roll around tool box for about $500 and it's as sturdy as my craftsman 42" roll around, maybe a little better. They do have some junk though, so just know to be careful and do your research.
Hell yeah. I just purchased the McGraw 21 gallon oil less air compressor and opted for the 1 year warranty. I'm happy with it!
I love the $20 dollar drill, it works great and I have 3 of them and have no problem.
Don't knock that $20 Drill Master I bought one 5yrs ago use it every day no problems
Same here and an impact driver both work great.
I replaced the drill because of a switch recall but the impact driver has been going strong for many years. Just have to remember to totally discharge the battery before re-charging it. I didn't do that and had to replace batteries. Also have the Bauer impact driver. That thing is a torque monster. Well worth the extra $$$.
The Drill Master will have to be my next purchase. Tried of paying $60- $80 for a stinking drill that won't continue working more than a few years.
Mine started smoking and quit working after 20 minutes of use
Still going with mine as well. I own a couple of Ryobi tools but most of my tools come from Harbor freight because the level of work I do with my tools doesn’t justify DeWalt, Milwaukee or Makita prices.
Harbor Freight has flipped the tool world affordability and pleasure of buying tools, - upside down!!! Harbor Freight is the bomb!
These videos would be so much more effective if you all could find a way to talk at the same time.
I have one of the $19.99 ones for around the house and it works fine. I think sometimes for like $25 you can get the light with it.
That shop guy dealt with these plebs well
You do know 'pleb' is a short form of plebeian which actually means 'one of the common people' If that crew are the common people, god help us
I had bought a Chicago electric low speed high torque drill, broke the chuck on three of them, and finished the job with the fourth. Still have it and it still works!
