Just purchased a Hercules 1/2" Compact Impact. Harbor Frieght had a special deal: Tool with 5 amp hour battery and fast charger for $106.99 out the door
Good deal!
Just got a 3/8” set today. What a great deal! Probably pick up the 1/2” tomorrow
@@joeb3647 nice!
Just noticed I grabbed an impact driver 😢 and not the 3/8” impact wrench. Probably keep it and go get the 3/8” . Box was in wrong spot and I wasn’t paying attention
@joeb3647 more than likely you can take it back and swap it. Harbor Freight is cool like that.
I was looking at milaukee but with how great these tools have performed on the torque test channel I had to at least give them a try.
Thanks for watching!
Power tools are a real game changer, i got no complaints with any of my hercules tools either.
Thanks for watching!
HF is dishing out some outstanding tools with the Hercules line. Thanks for the update Brother.
Thank you for watching!
Great review and much needed on a new brand like thiis. Thanks for your honest review and impression after a year of good hard use.
@PatriotPaulUSA thank you! I have a 2 and 1/2 year follow up too. It was another requested video. You can find the link to my reviews in the video description if youd like.
Really good video, and important information. I also have had quite a lot of failures of Milwaukee electronics in my M18 tools, with very light commercial use. There are people referring to the Hercules as budget tools, but they are not a budget tool. They are not inexpensive, and their reliability appears to be higher than Milwaukee.
I totally agree with you. Im really happy with the ones I have. Theres still a couple I want to add to my collection too.
I agree. Milwaukee's are powerful but man they break a lot
thanks brother!
Thanks for watching!
Harbor Freight rules!
just signed up for the 1 yr. membership.
my new hobby is gonna be collecting tools!
After my Father passed back in 19', Ive been the man of the house and have had to amass quite a collection of tools.
My Dad had the basics. 60 gal air compressor. impact. basic hand tools.
He had a collection of Bosch battery tools.
I stuck with Bosch cuz we had batteries.
I will continue to stick with Bosch as i have grown accustomed to the brand.
however, in the future, i will try my hand at saving money and will buy Hercules tools to get a collection going. I will only buy with coupons as well! My Bosch tools will be my main go to at home, but the Hercules seems to be the ones i will take with me on travel jobs. working with friends etc...
at home im working remodeling a mobile home.
just got a 2011 ford fusion to restore.
planty of other hobbies that will require MANY MORE TOOLS!!!
Sounds like you stay pretty busy! Ive definately saved a lot of money with the Hercules line up. I also have a 2 1/2 year follow up. You can find the link to my reviews in the video description.
Thanks for watching!
My hercules 1/4 impact finally started showing signs of decline after 6 years. Just picked up my new one today. Love this line!
Thats much longer than any of my Milwakees lasted! And dont even get me started on how many batteries and chargers I wouldve went through too.
Hercules is a great product with a great price tag!
@MegaMilesBen my 2.5 ah batteries are still going strong! I've left these out in the rain a few times too. Can't wait to use the 5ah battery I just got. Heck my 2.5ah lasts longer than my 4ah ridgid lineup
@koltonhill4925 Ive got 2 of the 5ah and 3 of the 2.5. Havent replaced a single one or a charger yet.
@MegaMilesBen man that's awesome. I wish I would've bought a whole line of Hercules instead of ridgid. My ridgid tools have been kind of crappy.
@koltonhill4925 as you replace them, switch over. Thats what Ive been doing. Ive just got the sawzall to go and Ill have all mine switched.
Also, the new 1/4 impact driver is more powerful than the old mid torque impact, and it's smaller.
Nice!
Their cordless circular saws and oscillating multi tool is fantastic also
I recently got the cordless brushless grinder. I thought Id be happier with it. It stops spinning now and then like its overheated or something. It also blows through batteries so quick.
@@MegaMilesBen yeah angle grinder is one of those things that's staying corded for now
All angle grinders and vacuums blow through batteries like crazy
Thank You
Thanks for watching!
I’m tiptoeing into the Hercules line. Abandoned my Ryobi tool bag I got as a gift years ago, but 1 at a time and swapping in Herc tools. Not sure what to do about impact wrench and Drill, those two I have in Ridgid and are nice… but I hate having multiple batteries.
For my shop, Ive switched all my power tools, except 2, over to hercules. Ill be switching my grinder and sawzall next.
I took my milwakee and other ones home for my garage, theyre retired lol.
Im extremely happy with the hercules line up. Havent had to replace anything yet. With my milwaukee, the gun started grinding, I went through 2 chargers and I think 5 batteries in the first year - year and a half.
Get battery adapters
Was thinking bout getting a Milwaukee electric ratchet but think imma get a hercules since i have the 1/2 inch one already
I think youll be happy with your decision.
I have a review of it too when I first got it. You can find it in this videos description if you want to see.
im inbetween the smaller size of the compact or the new ultra torque. i can afford either but dont want to waste $189 on the ultra torque if i dont need it. i mostly just do brake jobs/struts, smaller repairs on me and my wifes vehicles. is the size of the compact best for the job or should i just go ultra torque and have the peace of mind it'll get the job done?
If youre only getting one, Id recommend the utra torque. The regular gun wont bust free some lugs or strut bolts if over torqued. They make a great team togther.
If your ok with busting out a breaker bar now and then, the regular gun would do you just fine.
The ultra is a lot bigger though so keep that in mind too. You cant get it into smaller spaces.
