- Welcome to episode 10 of #MakerBreak Season 2!
Today we take a look back at a full year with HART tools, tell you how they have held up, and what we thought of them!
Special thanks to @HARTTools for sponsoring this episode, and reminding us we can build anything we can imagine, if we #DoItWithHART - Навчання та стиль
This is such a great recap! We really appreciate all the feedback on our products, including the jigsaw! 😉
@William Lipinski wood 🪵 not would 😉
I just picked up the random orbit sander and thought I’d check to see how mine spins before using it. It spins but, there’s no orbit...it’s stationary. Should I return it or call the company?
@@BostonBorn Hi Kelly, I would recommend reaching out to our customer service team if you're having trouble with you're product. They will be able to help! That number is 1-800-776-5191 and their hours are Mon-Fri 9am-6pm EST.
@William Lipinski these tools aren’t for professionals they’re for homeowners. A typical diy person isn’t going to spend 200 dollars on a drill the use twice a year.
@@zackmann9364 get real man the hart tools are a third the durability of pro grade and 80% of the price of pro grade.
Lol I own a flooring company and when I started my company I was on a tight budget so I started buying hart tools from Walmart and a lot of my friends in the trade used to laugh at me but I honestly love them I haven’t had any issues I even use their pack out stack system , shout out to Hart ✌🏾 you guys have made me a lot of money
Amazing how tradesmen feel the need to have a brand name tool, it kills me to see how having a yellow,blue or red tool defines them. I agree that if you depend on them for your livelihood some cheaper tools aren’t worth it but there are countless tools from other manufacturers that will do the same task…and last for much cheaper cost. I use my tools hard, hard use them as not intended, drop and toss around with no concern for them and have ruined some but most hold up. Not defending Hart as i have no experience with them but my comment is for the haters to Hart and similar brands. I have a yellow drill driver that i have had issues with the chuck and motor smells like burnt electronics every time i use it where B&D drill driver has served for 6 trouble free years.
It’s more about the person who uses the tool than the tool brand. High end tools are no substitute for skill but, can be helpful. There are DIYers that are made fun of for owning high end tools because they are not using them to their full potential but, there is nothing wrong with DIYers owning and using high end tools too.
When theft is a risk which it almost always is in urban work environments, no one steals the cheaper tools, and if they do, so what? Too often I hear about an entire toolbox going missing with many thousands lost and no ability to get back to work quickly thereby doubling or tripling the cost of the loss. I use Ryobi just because that what I bought first 20 years ago, so was kind of trapped into that ecosystem, but I've never had a failure either. Glad to see Hart is making the grade. I just watched a review of their mechanics tools, and I was really surprised at how good they are too.
@MSK390-It’s not necessarily an ego thing, rather more a performance thing (or in the case of pickup trucks, a generational thing). I’m in the generation that watched the cordless market begin to develop. I can remember when a finish carpenters’s tools were a Yankee screwdriver and a Sioux angle drill. My Dad’s first driver was 7.2 volt that had no removable battery and didn’t last long. He bought two 3/8” cordless Black & Decker drills when they came out. The battery packs weren’t long-lasting on them. Then Makita hit the market with their 9.6v stick battery drill. That was my first cordless tool purchase. At one point, I had 5 or six batteries for it. After trying to install metal siding on a pole barn and the batteries not keeping up, I moved on to a a couple Hitachi 12v drills. Hitachi didn’t have the battery life at the time, so I tried a Porter-Cable 14.4v drill. It had the same problem, plus something broke in the front end. I went back to Makita for their 18v platform, but wore out the clutch driving concrete screws. Next I tried DeWalt and by this time, impact drivers were kitted with the drill/drivers. DeWalt gave me the best battery life ever and that’s why I’m deeply invested in their line.
they work fine, Milwaukee is great if you can afford it but if you can't Hart works great
I had some tools stolen from me at work and thought hey I'll just buy cheap tools and started with just the impact and drill, now I own almost everything battery operated from Hart, they have held up for more then a year in a brutal industrial atmosphere and hands down they are fantastic. Not only have they held up but they have been dependable the battery life really isn't bad on the big guys. I do industrial maintenance so I abuse mine every day. Your video is awesome guys.
Me to but I just started 500 in so far
Are they still holding up well?
@@aschjo they are still making me $$$
Once they break down, get Milwaukee Fuel but, disguise them as HART tools with a paint job.
As a Milwaukee guy, I’ve started picking up a few Hart tools here and there. They certainly are nicely made tools. For some reason, we are taught to buy the latest and greatest. This is why so many people are unhappy. I look forward to buying some more Hart tools.
Hart tools are made from the same manufacturer as Milwaukee
little disclosure, i am a team red person doing facilities maintenance. when Hart first came out i was super skeptical because it was a walmart tool brand and hyper tough gave walmart tools a bad name (just from word of mouth not personal experience) and i would not even consider even purchasing any tools from walmart. UNTIL this video. the integrity that these two bring are unquestionable and with the words they say about this line of products, it seriously has made me reconsider because they gave it a quality test run of a year of hard use. their feedback along with the customer service side that they informed us on gives me a good impression and also clarity into the quality of the tools and the overall business that is HART and their mindset of quality tools at an affordable price that brings to a much larger potential customer base with an easy cost of entry into a new tool platform. with that being said i will not hesitate to give them a try should i ever be in a pinch to try a new to me tool brand and will approach that line of tools with an open mind of in all likelyhood eventually trying a few of these tools out should the situation call for it. well done Hart you've changed my perspective. Bravo
My son is a diehard Milwaukee tool guy - as a homeowner who is over 60 I wanted a tool I could handle - started w a hedge trimmer - very scared I’d have to return but my confidence grew w every hart addition !
I like I can get a lighter weight yard tool !
I have the same vac, I call it "Hart-2D2". I added a muffler a, a fine dust filter and fine dust collection bag and works great inside the house and the garage.
Dude, we are going to TOTALLY steal that from you. HART2D2 it is!
I saw a tape measure in the middle of the road as I was pulling up to a red light. I decided to help keep my city clean and I quickly got out and grabbed it. It is a Hart 30' heavy duty model. I don't know how many times it was ran over but it looks very rough, chewed up all over. I still have it, it works perfectly and even the belt clip works fine.
While I know this was a sponsored video by Hart and therefore biased, I still appreciate your overview of the products. I am just starting out on furniture flipping and pallet projects, looking for affordable tools that are universal, lightweight,, and expandable. That said, these seem to fit the bill, and at $198.00 on sale for their 6-piece kit is a steal (even with being brushed). Looking forward to seeing all the new products Hart releases. Thanks for the video!
Just wanted to follow up on this post and say I did buy a full Hart setup and it does not disappoint. Highly recommend.
@@GabrielYeager My wife brought some home and I though "junk" but our drill has held up, we have a one of the blowers and hedge trimmers. I trust them enough and since they share the parent company with Milwaukee and Ryobi ..I'm good with them.
When that’s the only thing stopping me from buying the miter saw from heart is the simple fact it’s not a sliding miter saw as soon as they come out with that I’m buying it. Other than that, I own all tools and I love them. This was a great honest review.
I’m a tool nut I personally may never get hart but when my mom and sister look up power tools and see tons of options and ask what to get and I know what level they are at and hart is perfect to recommend and it’s easier to get to pick up more tools when there at Walmart instead of taking another trip to a hardware store
I just saw a vid comparing ryobi to hart and tbh they are the same thing and ryobi is cheaper. Do you like green or blue?
@@Jacob-jc2gr with the deals you can get with ryobi yes it can be cheaper but tool to tool hart is a little cheaper and yes they are very similar cause they are both under the same parent company and my mom hates green
@@emerarbuckle2626 I'm 10 months late but I love ryobi. Mainly because I can identify them right away around my shop cuz of thr green.
its just your ego. if you actually used these tools you would love them.
Love your honesty about the standard charger and the sander.
I love the Hart Tool Line. I am more of an auto enthusiast/ restoration and Hart has been good to me. I bought my line in 2019 and absolutely love it. I use my tools without mercy and Hart has held up better than my other tools such as Ryobi and a few others. I wish Hart would reach out to me to profile that part of their line for a channel that I am going to start. Well done!
You can probably email the hart tool reps
How’s the battery orbital sander?
They're made by the same manufacturer that makes Milwaukee. They're great I've had the brushless drill and impact doing solar installation for over a year with them and they are built tough. The impact has fallen off the roof many times and still works flawlessly.
the parent company, TTI, also makes Ryobi and Ridgid/AEG. Hoover and Dirt Devil too
They are the worst tools in the TTI range. Milwaukee are the best in their lineup. What are you even saying right now?
@@the.future.urchin don’t forget black & decker.
@@bestyoutubernonegraternumber1 TTI does not own Black & Decker lol
He is saying because they make Milwaukee that in theory hart should be just as good, it’s not that hard to comprehend.
I just purchased a Hart impact drill from Walmart yesterday. It does the job flawlessly. Wasn't sure about the color scheme but hey, I wasn't sure about my PS5 color scheme at first either but it's something you fall in love with and there's no going back.
If I were new to power tools or I’m in a bind, I would definitely consider Hart tools. However, I sprung for TTI’s high end offering which the Milwaukee Fuel line of M18 and M12 tools because I want the best performing and most robust tools and I love TTI. I’m glad that TTI currently has a tool brand for everyone’s budget.
17:16 was at my local grocery store and found this Hart Inflator with the 20V 4.0ah amp battery in a shopping cart one day, got a brand new Hart battery charger off EBay for only 25 dollars, charged the battery back up, put it back on the inflator, and now I keep it in the trunk of my car just in case.
What a great review! Can't wait to start my collection with these tools 😁
The same company that makes Milwaukee tools makes Hart tools so Hart would be really good quality because Milwaukee is really good quality Hart would actually be better than Craftsman today Craftsman has lost a lot of quality over the years whenever they started manufacturing their tools in China some brands have held up well being Chinese made but Craftsman didn’t unfortunately.
As far as your angle grinder, that is probably the most versatile tool I own. You put a grinding disc on, you can shave/grind anything.....put a cutting disc on, nothing can stop you! Put a flap disc on, and you can very gently or very "Hulk" like sand stuff! I own maybe 4 cutting discs, 4 grinding discs, and about 100 flap discs. Flap discs are the most underrated attachment a grinder can use. They work for any job. There's literally ALWAYS a reason to pull mine out!
I like the hart gloves with the impact pads on the knuckle part of the gloves good for mechanic work when u try to break a bolt loose or smacking your knuckles on engine parts
First episode I watched of you guys and the way you both work great together now I gotta see what else you guys have done
Wow. Great video. Thanks, guys. Practical information that we can use!
Hmm. You're both super likable and genuine. Appreciated.
The brushless ½ in. drill and impact with two 2ah batteries will be here tomorrow and two 4 ah batteries and 4 battery charger the day after. I see good testing and reviews for Hart so might as well give 'em a shot... especially considering I got a three year replacement plan for 23 dollars.
Great review and entertainment. Watched it all.
Thanks so much Skippi! So glad the review was useful to ya. Enjoy the new kit!
For black friday this year (2023), a Hart 4 piece tool set including 2 batteries, Drill, impact, reciprocating saw, led light, charger, carrying bag is going on sale for 98 dollars! After seeing your video, I'm going to definitely pick them up. I have a 15+ year old Makita drill and impact set that still works well, its going to be interesting to see how they compare. Currently I have the stainless steel hart shop vac that i use daily for HOURS on end at my detail shop, it is the best shop vac I've ever had. The suction is phenomenal, the features are great, and its been extremely reliable. I've had it for probably a year and a half by now, still works perfectly even after countless bumps. I much prefer it over my original shop vac. I also have the 270 Pc. mechanics set, which has been just as good as my craftsmen set. In fact, the hart set has a much nicer carrying box. I really like hart, i feel like they provide a VERY solid line for the price. They have a lot of upscale features, for bottom of the barrel pricing. And, truth be told, in my experience, reliability has been great. I don't like a tool that breaks a ton.
The best heated jacket I had, had the Battery in the front approximately halfway up. It was great, it never got in the way. You never sat on it :). I miss that jacket. ( it got stolen and to expensive to buy a new one). Live confidently and peacefully
Great shape for one year of use you guys seem to be super gentle on them. I don’t even have the brushless version and I have “beat the crap out of them”. No hiccups once I put a 4AH on. The others like to overheat quickly.
Honestly this was my first choice of tools, i was literally going to go buy this but I stopped at lowes of curiosity and one of there great deals pulled me into the craftsman line and I'm happy with them but at least I know hart can be a second choice if any goes wrong!
I always had craftsman but I always get different brand tools and use them all the time but mostly craftsman but hart looks good for home improvements and bit of mechanic work
I got the brushless drill/ 1/4 inch impact driver for $70 at Walmart about a month ago! And I love it
I have had the 40v brushless, self-propelled mower for a year now and it is fantastic. Perfect for my smallish hillside yard.
Great tool i have one for a while and it's still going on strong and haven't been let down yet ❤
I bought one of the 40v, 4ah weed whackers. I cut 3acres with a riding mower and this weed eater. Plenty of power, plenty of battery, light, very little vibration, etc. I also like the battery indicator. When my Dewalt drill takes a crap, I'm going to go with replace it with a Hart. For what they cost, they are worth trying.
Great DIY tools. Great video
Thanks 👍
I bought the Hart pack out 3 box set for $90. Still going great after 2 plus years
I bought the tire inflator/flashlight kit just to see how the Hart products were built. The main thing I wanted was the flashlight, but the tire inflator really surprised me. It works really well, I haven't turned my compressor on in a long time. I later bought the drill/impact driver kit and I've used the crap out of them remodeling our house. The impact driver is my favorite tool right now. I'm looking at the brushless 1/2" impact wrench for my next purchase as I do the work on our vehicles as well. Hart is a fine brand, comparable to ryobi it seems
Hey watched your this video and had a question for you guys. I have the hart mitre saw and have had a real hard time getting it to cut square. Was just wondering what you guys did to get it set up right. You mentioned in this video that you had to get it set up right. Was just wondering if you had any advice. I have adjusted the fence square with the blade. But when making cuts and checking the board i cut it dosent come out square. Was their another adjustment you guys made to help with that? Thanks
Hart was smart to hook up with TTI rather than some no name company overseas that handles ODM's. You can see a lot of Ryobi style cues in the line, and that's not a bad thing. I mean they already got brushless going. I mean outside of Lumber, Wal Mart can become a one stop shop for legit tool items while getting a gallon of milk and some socks, lol.
Even tho im more on the mechanic side of things, this helped me to see which other hart tools i could benefit the most from, so for that i thank you
They are awesome DIY and or good starter tools for the pro. Pros work to produce and against the clock so the higher end features are what pros pay for. I'm a professional in my trade(master automotive technician) and I find that SOME pros tend to be pre Madonna on certain things including tools.
I love how authentic you guys are heart hit the jackpot with getting you to sponsor them because you're so honest about it and you can tell I mean unless you are complete a skeptical goofball even a novice could tell that you're telling the truth and you articulate very well are very personable I subscribed at the end of the video right before I started writing this comment I appreciate you all keep doing what you do and good luck with your projects don't let anybody get you down Be Well & Have fun:):);) Your New Buddy Side C Socrates!!!
I was text to speeching on that original message and I know heart is h a r t p s cowabunga dudes later
The shopVac bt HART is absolutely amazing! It will suck up a Chinamans toupeé! I have used many different ones, but the HART one is awesome!
The brushless impact and drill kit is only $99 online can’t beat that price. Must buy for DIY I own it and happy. Recently bought the 12v HYPER TOUGH Kit $ 88 Online also happy with it..
MUST BY ANY OF THESE KITS
This video was amazing! I’m a new diyer and have started a small business. I’d love to get sponsored by HART! Only tools I use, very affordable and this video helped me decide if I should continue with them moving forward!
Great review and very thorough! I have Hart outdoor equipment (40v mower, trimmer and blower). This has led me to delve into their power tools for my upcoming Rv remodel. Earned a sub from me and HART has definitely earned my business based off the reviews here and my own experience with their other products. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing what y’all get into next!
I recently bought their weed eater. Truly impressed I’m a hard person to please. Come to find out Milwaukee makes HART for Walmart. Quality
*TTI makes them. They make a bunch of brands, including other value brands like Ryobi and Rigid.
I also just purchased their brushless weedeater...wow... very impressed...attachments from old weedeaters work amazing, polesaw surprised me...
Great review. I have had Hart tools, about 20, including lawn equipment, batteries and chargers,well as the 20VOLT RC truck. All my lawn tools are hung on a Hart wall mount tool track, for over a year. I too am hard on them and they still out perform my DeWalt. I can provide pics as proof if requested.
I'd be interested to see you compare dewalt and hart.
I am a beginning woodworker and a beginning technician for Polaris machines and I think I'm going to start with hart for my first tools.i am also a bus driver so the mini blower will be so easy to use on my bus amazing video imma go buy hart tools
I know this video was shot a while ago. But got to say, can’t believe you forgot what you can use the mini-blower for. You can blow the water off your motorcycle after washing it. It allows you to ride right after washing it, you can blow the water out of all the little acres where you cant dry it, like the motor fines, etc.
I first brought hart as a Father’s Day gift n he loves it.. I recently brought my own drill with the kit that comes with the drill bits extra batteries
Great video. I'm building my Hart collection. I just got the sander and glad to hear that it was just a bad tool.
Love the logo..hammer hitting a nail
Don't see a sawzall, can't have a tool line without that. Major mistake not having a sawzall in the tool lineup
I have one it runs and cuts great I’m wanting the grinder
Got the chop saw on clearance for $45. Was building a dog pen and got caught in a rain storm and forgot to move the chop saw and by the time I seen it, it has been plugged up for an hour in the rain. I waited a few weeks for it to dry out and then plugged it in and a year later is my go to for taking it on the job site. I did have to adjust the gate and the 0°but after that it's been spot on and has plenty of power also feels half the weight of the DeWalt. At half the price and clean cuts the work at different angles it'll be my new go to if I get another year or two
Just bought the kit that includes drill impact reciprocating saw and led light for $153.00 with the two year service plan from Walmart also came with two batteries quick charger and carrying bag
Made me a believer. I have been looking at their tools for a while and shied away from them because I needed to learn about the brand name. I will reach for them and start my kids with their new tool kits to get them started. Thank you for the review.
Just discovered the channel. Like Walmarts idea here.
Not attacking your credibility, I know you said some negatives, BUT, is this a review or an ad? Did you guys buy all this stuff or get it free?
No worries Joe! This is a review. However, HART sponsors our weekly maker show. They pay us to use their tools, whenever we can as we build stuff. So yeah, we're bias. But that's where our relationship ends. They do NOT get to see or approve any content on our channel. We're free to say whatever we want, and they're free to stop sponsoring our channel. They didn't ask us to review the tools. We made this episode because so many people asked us what we thought of the tools. We're probably using HART tools more than anyone else, seeing as we build projects with them every week. So I felt we had a unique opportunity to talk about the tools.
We tried to make it clear that they sponsor our show, because you should know that. With that said, yeah, we love the tools. They do a great job. Other brands might of done a great job too, but we used HART for a year and a half now, and they've done great! (besides the sander as we discussed) Last month HART had us host their New Product Showcase, so we got all of their new tools sent to us as well. There are a TON of new Brushless models, plus a new brad nailer, staple gun, air compressor (battery-powered!), and upgraded circular saw, and more. We'll be using those in future projects, and try to talk a bit about them as we go.
If you have any questions about any of the HART tools, I'd be happy to answer with my honest opinion. Just let me know! Thanks for watching, and for asking! - Rob
@@MakerBreak "We're free to say whatever they want..." Now that's what I call a Freudian slip!
@@bayadere8308 LOL yup. Fixed.
I ended up buying the inflator after watching this video. Clearly the marketing budget for Hart is working. Merry Christmas you two.
I just bought the circular saw and 4 Amp battery because my hammer and tape is so well built would love test every tool they have
Own multiple hart tools and love them.
Thanks for the informations.
@Maker Break. Thanks Rob and Sarah for your reviews and opinions. It looks like Hart will give Ryobi and Kobalt a run for the money.
Hope you, your staff, and your families stay safe and well.
...Not really...not in the customer service area!...that's exactly the problem with Hart..they may be just about on par with Ryobi and Kobalt...but Home Depot and Lowe's will take care of you if you have a problem...Walmart will NOT!....trust me, I know...just try for yourself...Lowe's and H.D. will make it right, Walmart associates(who know nothing about tools)will give you the Deer-In-The-Headlights look or the runaround...ditto with the customer service/return clerks and even the store managers...nope, run from these, you can do better...even Harbor Freight offers better customer service, and at least they ARE a tool store....
Hart is Ryobi!
Coming from someone who has used the heavy hitters like dewalt and Milwaukee and now own the Ryobi HP line up. Hart will not be giving Ryobi HP a run…maybe the older versions but I have been incredibly impressed with new ryobi stuff. The cross platform compatibility is insane.
I work construction...with dudes that say " nothing but yellow n black" lol..my hart tools perform just as good as the expensive ones. Love my hammer drill. Absolutely love the Hart brand
I have been fully invested in Milwaukee for years, so I am not changing that. However, the HART tools do seem to be a nice DIY brand. The hand tools also look to be a good buy as well.
Yeah we really didn’t get into that discussion at this point. We’ve been using many of their handtools but none of them enough that we felt we could discuss them. HART is currently sending us a bunch of mechanics tools that we do plan to use for several projects and will be sure to let you know what we think of those.
Same company makes Hart and milwaukee
@@jackcass3552 I was just about to say the same thing.
@@jackcass3552 more accurate to say same company owns both brands. TTI owns Milwaukee, Ryobi, and Hart, also licenses Ridgid power tool name in North America. Tools aren’t necessarily all made in same factories, much of that is contracted out. But they do tend to use the same contractors for most items.
@@geoffstrickler I'd it's made in china it's most likely made in the same factory. One assembly line is for Milwaukee, then the other is for other brand. Cost cutting measures goes into the other brands
I have a few HART tools and they work great. As a Walmart associate I shop at Walmart every week and will be getting a few more of the HART tools.
i love my hart tools going to expand throughout there year. i am hoping to have everything by march of next year
I have questions on the orbital sander. I have one but it doesn't seem to spin that fast, if at all. I know it's not going to sand as fast as my corded Porter Cable but this is leaving swirl marks when it jerks around. Does yours do this? I sent a video to Hart and they said it was fine and it's that slow so it doesn't leave swirl marks, but it still doesn't seem right. I have 30 years of woodworking in one way or another so I've used a few different sanders. But when a sander says orbital I would think it should spin. How well does yours spin and does it leave swirl marks?
When theft is a risk which it almost always is in urban work environments, no one steals the cheaper tools, and if they do, so what? Too often I hear about an entire toolbox going missing with many thousands lost and no ability to get back to work quickly thereby doubling or tripling the cost of the loss. I use Ryobi just because that's what I bought first 20 years ago, so was kind of trapped into that ecosystem, but I've never had a failure with weekend warrior use. Even the batteries still work except for the very first Nickel Cadmium battery which started my kit in the 90s. No lithium batteries have failed yet, and the older 2ah ones are well over 15 years old. Glad to see Hart is making the grade. I just watched a review of their mechanics tools, and I was really surprised at how good they are too.
"We used HART Tools for ONE YEAR." Sounds like a horror movie title.
Great video! You can put the angle grinder to use by sharpening some lawnmower blades 👍
Hey I like that idea. We'll have to try that.
I've bought several 20v hart tools including leaf blower, brushless variable speed and impact drills, mini shop vac, jigsaw, rotary tool, dust buster, flashlight, 4 port charger, fan, tire inflator and I have to agree the jigsaw is the outstanding performer, also love the inflator the rotary tool crapped out on me pretty quick, the fan seems to discharge batteries too much and renders them unchargeable, and overall my main issue with Hart are the batteries they are just too fickle something happens to them either they over heat or over discharge or something that makes the charger refuse to charge them and just stop working in the tools either I'll get red error light on charger or solid green fully charged light then won't work in any tools even tho multimeter says it's charged. I'm talking 6 out of 10 batteries crapped out on me in less than a year and I'm not a heavy duty user but and in the 5 or so yrs since I began purchasing Hart tools I've amassed 10 batteries and of the ten, 2 4ah, 2 2ah and 2 1.5ah batteries are junk useless they all take and keep a charge when charged off another battery but won't work in charger or tools.
I have Porter Cabel 20 volt lithium tools. I really am a believer in the PC brand, but they are not being carried by retailers with a few exceptions. I really don’t want to start a new tool system, but Hart is affordable, reviews are good, and they are coming out with multiple tools for use with their 20 volt platform. Hercules is another brand on my radar. I don’t need contractor grade tools because the work I do is not precision. Durability is the factor with me and I like the review on the 1 year usage. Really helps.
PC is exclusive with Tractor Supply Company and Hart is exclusive to Wal Mart.
They're no milwaukee but if you're just a basic DIY'er and dont go too hard. They're perfect.
I have the Milwaukee M18 suitcase vacuum, first model. I use it for cleaning up after I drill holes in metal network cabinets, cut holes in walls to install network jacks and such, and to vacuum out computers, servers, switches and other network gear. I don't know why, but I never think to empty it. Well, the other day, I noticed that the suction was way down on it, so I opened it up and it was packed! After emptying it and cleaning the filter, I think it's at least 5 pounds lighter and sucks way better.
Bwahahaha I’m glad we’re not alone. Thanks Timothy!
Heated jackets???? I can't lie I'm jealous! I have my own paint/auto body UA-cam channel and I think I will do a review of their reciprocating saw soon. Now off to Walmart to get one! Oh and as far as the color go's. I might give it a custom paint job! Thanks for the videos on the hart products I was debating what brand I should go with for new cordless tools and to see those jackets brought tears to my eyes. Lol.
I like the tape measure with all the numbers on it I'm not good at reading a tape measure I don't know but that tape measure came in handy for me....other then I'm good...wonder if hart will make rest of the power tools and impact wrenches brushless as well
I bought the drill and impact set brush moters loved it only problem I've had is a battery died after 6 months
Is anyone else having issues with the Hart 20v rinse sprayer? I just picked up a brushless 4 tool set on sale this week.
Yes hart tools have a place in the tool market. they have good toolss. I think Walmart marketing has some work to do to get to the where we think go to walmark and get x tool. On the plus side they have a ton of locations, later hours them other stores and their web site is better than most… The negatives they were late to the market and those of us are invested in other battery platforms and are not going to change. The other negative is that when I want to do a DIY project we go to the local big box hard to buy the supplies and since we are there we buy tools there also.
I agree with all of this. There are more Walmarts in the US then Lowes and Home Depot COMBINED. That's crazy. But the biggest issue as a DIYer, is the lack of materials at Walmart. I don't see them adding a small lumber section anytime soon, but that sure would be cool if they did!
I might actually look into some of the power tools from. Maybe not the drill/impact though. Like at 150 why not go a little better. But you get the whole kit for the sander or the circular saw for less than a hundred bucks. And if you don’t already have an entire arsenal of tools and not trying to make a living off of them sounds like a solid option. All I have from them is some screw drivers and a drill bit kit and a recip blade. All did what I needed around the house though.
If the charger is sequential, you're better off with two or three of those rinky "included" chargers on a jobsite assuming they charge at the same rate. For overnight charging, the big one is better because you don't have to think about it.
I actually like the look, the colors of them and if I was a new homeowner or beginner DIYer I'd consider them. I'm sure Home Depot isn't happy with them competing with Ryobi. I did just grab a 5 tier shelf by Hart 6 feet tall for $35 compared to $69 for Craftsman.
Trust me..Ryobi isn't gonna be affected by these cheap ass tools. I've looked at them and used them...low budget Walmart stuff, even lower than black and decker...these are for people who are strictly once in awhile homeowner types.
These tools actually ARE Ryobi/Ridgid tools. Hart is a TTi subsidiary. Look into how related Lowe’s, Wal-Mart, and Home Depot are. There’s a reason they’re usually all close by. This isn’t competition, it’s another option. I would say the Kobalt 24V stuff is an upgrade (especially the XTR line) but we don’t know how long Kobalt or Hart will last.
The pitch of this video was to inform the viewers on the long term ability and durability of these tools. Yet this whole video is preaching how wonderful the tools are. I understand the tools were given to you for free, and you want to show your appreciation to the brand. But the abundance of the word "amazing" and "incredible" makes it lack a genuine feel to the review. I purchased several of these tools and batteries for my mother to use around her house 6 months ago, and i have a much longer list of issues than what is mentioned in this video. Most of the complaints are due to the batteries, and several are reliability issues. For less money, the Ryobi brand from Home Depot, gives much better power and reliability. (I use Kobalt at home due to the yard equipment, Milwaukee for work and i give my apprentices Herculese and Dewalt) With that said, they are decent for a home owner. But for someone who is planning to do more than 10 large projects in a year, get a better tool line. Check out this torque review on the Hart impact wrench m.ua-cam.com/video/HWeguH-2UJA/v-deo.html
I love the look of hart tools. I love the color. It reminds me of makita when they had cool colors then went to the regarded tealish color
I believe Hart tools are owned by TTI. The same company that owns Milwaukee, Rigid, Ryobi. I like all of those brands. At work I use a Milwaukee, in the house we have Hart and they've been great.
Since its made by TTI who also makes the Ryobi, does the dust buster use the same filter?
Once I needed a cheap drill about a heart.Now I own a whole bunch of heart stuff now quite a few things
Very good review, I have seen the tool line, and was curious. I'm by no means a professional, so these seem to be a good option, as my tools that are old wear out, to replace with these. My only concern is, will Walmart continue to carry them? I know how they will carry stuff for a while and then, boom, they no longer have that brand. So that would be my main reservation, which is why I have not purchased any of them yet
Heart, Ryobi ,, and Milwaukee are All Made by the same company !!! They are owned by The TTI Company!!!
Man im in industrial maintenance and i use impacts and drills everyday i have had the brushed ones an upgraded to brushless have the wet dry vac as well my co workers have Milwaukee and dewalt even they brag on my HART tool HART for the win
Compelling review, thanks.
"They sent us everything you see" good to know I'm basically watching an advertisement 😂
That is completely normal both among YT tool channels and gun channels, they could never afford to constantly buy tools to compare. Hart is owned by TTI that owns Ryobi, Ridgid and Milwaukee. Hart is basically Ryobi underneath another label.
I've enjoyed your year of content using these tools, and like the full year later review. I looked at Hart when I started my power tool collection a year ago right as they launched, but ended up going with another brand because the Hart line wasn't quite filled out at launch (plus I also didn't like the stock charger either). Good to see they've expanded the line.
Since both Hart and Ryobi are made by TTI, I've read in a few places that the Hart tools might be older or step down Ryobi models in new Hart casings. Do you feel like that is the case or did TTI make Hart their own line with their own designs?
Good question Joshua. HART has its own development team. They said these are all new tools engineered just for HART. I have used a lot of Ryobi tools and never once have I felt like the HART tools were a step down in any way. Ryobi recently launched their new HP tools that are focused at “value pro“ and they are certainly more powerful than the HART, but they’re also more expensive. They’re really intended for trades people without a lot of cash. I completely understand why you may have skipped on HART as a brand new line. I am anxiously awaiting new tool releases from HART this year and can’t wait to see where this line goes. Fortunately HART agreed to sponsor us for our second season, so we have a lot more HART yet to come! Thanks for watching dude.

I have not try them, but I really like the color.
If I didn’t start out cheap with ryobi, I probably would have gotten hart. Both r probably the best bang for the buck.
My biggest gripe with battery tools is the batteries.
I only buy tools from one maker, so i only have one brand of batteries.
i carry a hart impact wrench in my car for changing tires i have it set up with a jack that i can operate with the impact tool and then take off the tire with the same impact tool.
This makes for fast tire changes and the batteries stay charged for months in my tire changing bag.
the only problem i have is it's hard to charge from a car or truck unless you have a inverter.
I have come from high-end Makita and DeWalt tools when I was a professional mechanic, but I don't wrench as much anymore. My last battery went bad on my Makita and I needed a replacement fast and cheap and bought the brushless kit. The drill was fine, if not loud, but the impact was..... Well, it's powerful but the trigger is HORRENDOUS. I felt like I had very little control, it was either barely spinning or full-send. Maybe I got a bad one, but, it's too late to return it and I ended up losing it in a move. I didn't even notice, ended up buying another drill cuz it worked better.
I got an early fathers day gift this year the impact driver 2 speed drill and Sawzall. Ok I don't know if this is normal. While using the drill and saw. If I'm really getting into it. It will just cut out on me but if I wait a second or it will start working again. And the clutch in the 2 speed drill when I set the dial to drill it will not lock in drill works fine in speed 2 I can drill a 3 inch screw into a PT 4x4 but not in speed 1.
On the circular saw, what I find on high end saws is a thick solid base, and the bevel control is metal. I see the base is thin, is the bevel and thickness pieces metal or plastic?
Both metal. They're solid enough. The base could be a bit thicker, but again, it's got the job done over and over so I can't complain. I just wish there was a cleaner way to adjust the depth besides loosening and tightening a nut.
Honestly I bought a hart drill just because it was fairly cheap and I needed a drill. I was actually surprised how good the drill was not the greatest but very good. Now I have a lot of hart tools. Just got a lawnmower today my gas one died on me last week. Hopefully it’s as good as the other tools.
And do I see a Diablo sand net disc on that sander?
I think maybe the volume limiter was kicking in. You were playing country. 😂
Just kidding guys. I've been buying Hart since they landed at WM. Both shop and garden tools. 20v and 40v and I haven't been disappointed yet.
It's good he dropped the tools we need to know how tough they are plus most guys don't carry their tools daintily. I saw these tools in walmart the other day and I'm curious but not sure about quality... Can they beat Dewalt, Craftsman, Milwaukee, etc?
Lol...no.
Comparing this brand to Dewalt or Milwaukee is like comparing Snap On tools to China cheap tools.
