Much as I enjoy Icon charging 200 for the coolant vacuum refiller is a bit steep especially when I can get the snap on version for the same price. Also charging 600 for a coolant pressure tester. As much as I love the amount of adapters I can get just the adapters for less from CTA
@@FreshVintageGarage Harbor Freight would have a tough time giving credit to people with no credit history or people with bad credit like the tool trucks do!
@ they had a couple pairs there, they had one hanging on the wall with a $19.99 price tag and one on the table near those new long reach cutters. It’s something people are really anticipating since the snap on one is 75-90 bucks depending on whether you let the snap on guy sleep with your wife or not, 😂 jk jk. But It is definitely there. They are the slip joint long nose pliers with different cross hatching griping textures on different areas of the jaws of the plier.
You are absolutely correct! Harbor Freight has really upped their game to bring high performing tools and equipment at very good prices to the general public at their stores 💯
Is there anything Harbor Freight makes that's not a direct copy of someone else's product? Is there anything they designed from scratch that's unique to them?
@ShawnC8030 it's a dual 80 design with a split pawl a la koken 😂, the flex looking switch is a straight rip off from matco/apex. I'm assuming the dual 80 patent expired, makes sense since the 100 tooth is being promoted heavily. HF icon should have its on identity period, they love to trash snap-on yet they copy them almost exclusively 😂.
Hey fanboy. I worked for Toyota and they would buy competitor cars to tear apart to benchmark the competition. This is not new. Who cares. Go spend your money on expensive high mark up if you want.
Omg did you say the Mehhhm tool? They mean MEeeeeem tool set like a meme which is a funny picture or a trending joke. It’s the meme tool because it blew up on Reddit the small 1/4” hex bit driver kit they were putting out a new one with sockets and a driver handle as well as all the other things the original one came with: kinda like the facom but driver set.
Im definitely holdind out for some 3/8 icon G2 ratchets.
Can we get a pex expander tool in hercules? I'm however excited about the rear handle worm drive.
Yep getting the 3/8" and 1/2" icon digital torque wrenches
Same
Im curious if theyre going to add an oscilloscope to the t10 and or t8.
I asked icon diag this myself and they said that they do plan to
Per Harbor Freight they confirmed this is being discussed as a future product - thanks for watching and subscribing!
72-inch purple us general 💜
Thank you for the video awesome
Thanks for watching and checking out SEMA with us! If you could subscribe we'd really appreciate it 😊
Definitely buying one of each of all those ratchets
Does anyone know if the Hercules ratchets are going to be brushless?
I wanna hear more about this hercules 12v 90 degree die grinder

Seriously they could make a small tool truck, I so excited for all these new new icon things
Right?? If Harbor Freight actually had a Snap-On style tool truck I think they would do very well

Not sure how HF will be impacted by proposed tariff on imports , do you know
No one knows the answer to this yet
They need to hurry up and drop those snap on talon grip knock offs already. They said spring ‘24 and it’s now almost winter.
Yeah we know what you mean - we didn't see them as of yet at the Harbor Freight booth, but I'm sure they are coming soon 👍

Not the Harbor Freight they once were.

If your comprehension skills worked you would have heard it's a split pawl not a dual. Its an in-house design also patents are pending on it
@@ShawnC8030 100% chance that's not their own idea.
So, who cares if they copy a great design? If the products work well for a third the price, why not?

My bad here - I never actually heard of the meme tool from Harbor Freight but will look it up now 💯
R&D BS, but I love all the copycat Icon pliers!👍👍
You can go to the store and look at them….all the video on harbor freight, COME ON!
