It has a built in clutch. All powerful tools has it built in for Safety.

@@JohnnyRebLa ya! The instructions had no warning about that feature or curse 🤨

@@TheRuralMinnesotaGuy I couldn't believe I did that, I was sitting with it in my lap looking to see if I had the blade lined up right pulled the release and the blade skimmed right beside my head lined directly with my eyeball.

2 gallon is more capacity. This one you have to dump often

Yep! I updated the description in the video.

Reciprocating saws suck on branches and logs, because the blade goes back and forth and shakes the branch and log and a pruning saw goes in one direction. I have a video demonstrating this on one of my reciprocating saw reviews.

@@chrisginoc several days at least. Some people run it for 4+ weeks non-stop. Depends how shiny you want the rocks

@ my two boys got a hobby grade one and I swear that one takes months. Been tumbling since before Christmas 🙈

Nice!

You can polish your headlights perfectly with the correct speed!

Hammer drill has higher speeds and can drill faster, but this one has a lot of torque at lower speeds.

Thanks!

I used it when the power went out

Took me 4 years to get all them. I am 58 and few years ago I refreshed almost all my tools. 40 year tools and most were broke or did not work.

@TheRuralMinnesotaGuy I am 62 sometimes it's hard to go buy a tool when you got one that works okay. Thanks have a good weekend Michael

I just bought another Hercules tool yesterday that had been out for 2 years and only found one video on it. So I will be a video on that as well.

Some people do! Look at the comments 😉

@@peggyrussell1728 you can only use 18 gauge, otherwise the gun will jam. Sizes go from 3/4 to 2 inch

@@zzhh6837 Ah! Good tip! 👍

@@hackeenkonan9066 I would bring it back and exchange it. Hercules tools have a 5 year w

@@oldrust601 Nice! I use the nailer all the time, since it is so much easier then dragging out my compressor 😃

@@Bills_Bicycle_Rides you are correct. I updated the description on the video on the correction.

The cordless jig saws are nice for those quick tasks, but a corded one is great for larger projects.

@@wildbill23c I agree. Cordless is very convenient. I had a nice set of NiMH cordless Makita tools. For about a year, the drill and saw got a lot of use. Charge and go. My corded tools sort odf sat around gathering dust. But over time, they batteries just would not take and hold a charge. I found myself grabbing the corded more and more. All my corded were bought in 1980. My cordless 1997/98 time frame. I eventually donated the cordless and still use my old corded. One upgrade I made was my Craftsman AutoScroll from 1980. A little over a year ago I bought a Bosch jigsaw (t-shank) and donated the Craftsman (u-shank) which was still going strong. Utterly reliable but I do miss the convenience of cordless. I suppose the newer batteries are more forgiving? In any event, I enjoyed your video.

@@davidbacon-u6d The Li-Ion battery packs are much better than the old Ni-Cad stuff for sure, much better performance, and they don't lose a charge nearly as quick just from sitting. A lot more battery options out there too now, back with the Ni-Cad stuff you had 1 battery, that was it, now you have several different amp-hour options. Larger amp-hour for the higher demand tools like grinders, circular saws, etc. and lower amp-hour for things like drills and impact drivers, or anytime you gotta drive fasteners up over your head, or drill holes over your head where weight of the tools is more of a concern. Another plus with the Li-Ion batteries is you can typically get a fast charger that charges the batteries much quicker than the old Ni-Cad chargers. Some of the Li-Ion chargers can charge a battery in as little as 15 minutes. There are adapters out there too that allow you to use one brand of battery on other brand tools as well.

@@wildbill23c I may have to reconsider battery. Thanks for the insight!

@@davidbacon-u6d No problem. Lots of updates to the battery technology in recent years, giving a much better run time to a battery and the ability to charge faster.

@@bernitup6492 Thanks!

I have the Ryobi barrel grip jig saw, it works great, actually do prefer it better than the D-handle jig saws. It seems to me like the barrel grip ones are easier to control especially when cutting a lot of curves. I wish they would release a barrel grip model too, maybe....soon....but they'll have to make one in the Bauer line first, that seems to be how they're doing things....Bauer gets all the new stuff a long time before they even think about doing so in the Hercules line, I can't see why they do that, they should work on both lines simultaneously.

@@LivingTheDream77 The next thing I need to do with that car is replace the windshield wiper motor, but waiting till Spring when it is warmer

Good video.. You will spend the rest of your days working on that PT..

@@stilleatn4969 ya! I am going to give it away soon. No reason to keep it any longer since all my kids have moved out.

Between the Bauer line and Hercules line they've really stepped up in recent years. I have several Bauer tools, less Hercules stuff because they haven't been releasing Hercules tools like they have with the Bauer line. Also, gotta be careful when you go and grab a Hercules cordless tool, some Hercules cordless tools are 12V not 20V....example: Their Hercules ratchets are 12V....the Bauer ratchets are 20V. They have some good tools in both lines, just they've concentrated on the Bauer line more so a lot more tools available in the Bauer for some reason they've really slacked off with the Hercules line.

@@klwarhouse yep! That is correct. I put the correction in the description.

@TheRuralMinnesotaGuy Good to hear..... I just made an educated guess! 🤣 Anyways, thanks for the video. I'm going to compare this jig saw to my Ryobi Hp one tomorrow. So far ...... The Hercules looks like a winner!!

Ya! Just has a on and off.

@@RaveCoaster That one is metal only. This is the one for wood I did: th-cam.com/video/JARldW2D5Qw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZH7lskyUKLgv_m8A

@TheRuralMinnesotaGuy thank you!! Got that one instead.

@ Nice! That saw was my very first tool I bought from Harbor Freight and it was half the cost of the Dewalt.

@TheRuralMinnesotaGuy same! Our HF here has an open box. There was no problem. Everything worked, and we tested it. Got it for 30% off i just needed to buy the blades.

@@RaveCoaster I have got few deals on open boxes also. They are old displays when a new model comes in , so never been used.

@@jim3922 Ryobi is a solid brand! 👍

@@jim3922 I also didn't want to wait any longer and bought the HP one Ryobi. I'll have to compare them side by side to see if it's worth switching at this point.

Hercules is late to the game with all their releases....they spend all their time working on the Bauer line, and not enough time working on the Hercules line it seems....so many more tool options with Bauer. I have the Barrel grip jigsaw from Ryobi, it works great, if I recall its the HP version, might be the only version they have for a barrel grip jigsaw, but it works great that's what really matters.

@ Do you get worried you’ll forget to turn the switch off and put it into your leg or hand or something? Seems like a potential safety risk, but I haven’t used it. I’ve seen TH-camrs say it’s nice. I was hoping it’d get a discount this winter, but it didn’t. The area code guy says they have a nice new random orbit sander too.

The orbital switch, which I mispronounced in the video.
