    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.

      I'm very pleased with my Hercules. I go through an impact every year on the year and I've been on teams red and yellow. I am not missing any power with the Herc and in a year when it surely breaks, I'll just get a new one for free. So for me it's basically buy one get 4 free.

    I like your demo, apparently (by watching other videos), I’m the only one who doesn’t use my impact driver & spade bits. I use my drill. When driving lags I use my impact wrench for them. I use my impact driver for driving screws. But I know that everyone has there own preferences. I know that Harbor Freight is stepping up their game buy the quality of Hercules power tools. Now if HF would do a kit with tool, battery & charger.

    I bought a Hercules just to test it out, and so far I’ve been very impressed. I own Milwaukee and Makita and I enjoy using the makita more, but that being said the Hercules is very nice. You can tell it doesn’t have the best motor out of the 2 and gets hotter faster, but for a tool I’m gonna use as a beater and a backup I don’t mind. It works great!

      I like the underdog, Hercules, but I recently purchased several FLEX tools...they are INCREDIBLE! This is what I got and what I paid:
      6.5" Inline Circular Saw, 5.0 Ah battery, charger: $189
      Reciprocating Saw, 5.0 Ah battery, charger: $189
      Hammer Drill w/Turbo and Impact Driver Kit, 2.5 Ah battery, 5.0 Ah battery, charger: $259
      1.6 gallon Vacuum, Tool Only: FREE!
      Five FLEX tools, 4 batteries and 3 chargers, worked out to an average cost per tool (including batteries and chargers) of about $137!!! Amazing deals as I happened to be at my local Lowe's at the right time, when these spot sales were happening. The 2 saws are typically $249 and the Drill/Driver kit is normally $359; the vacuum (Tool only) is $119 but it was free with the already reduced Drill/Driver kit!
      I think the Hercules Impact Driver is closer to $180 when you get the battery and charger, as well (70/70/40). In my case, the average cost of my FLEX tools were more than $40 less than the cost of the Hercules tools plus FLEX has a Lifetime Warranty.
      I think I saw a video recently where the FLEX battery was powering a Milwaukee tool...there is an adapter you can get for this...if you have Milwaukee and want to transition to FLEX, the adapter is a great idea.
