BOLTR: Harbor Freight vs. Milwaukee | Sander/Polisher

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- I tear into the Earthquake sander, it's very similar to the Milwaukee. The internals are different, but a lot of construction details are the same. Per your request, I made a "No Dumb Here" Tea Shart. Please enjoyment, double happiness! teespring.com/...
It's only "robust conversations" that are of concern.

Damn AVE watches Rossman..
@@nunyabidniz3865 what he demonstrates is the reason all those brands glue there shit together. He shows the crap that is in there before people spend their hard earned legal tender.
"As always... I hope you learned something."
Magtrometer explosions are also concerning...... :)
AvE - the only youtuber who cares about our eardrums and is courteous enough to turn down the sound levels when running a power tool. An audiologists worst enemy.
I pick up my day laborers outside the harbor freight, they are cheaper then the ones outside of the home depot
Homeless make good laborers?
Yeh, but they quit working after 3hrs instead of 18 like I need.
But they're both made in the same country
Ano Than*, not then.

Don't you think we didn't catch that Steve1989 reference, AVE.
"Leave this guy out on a tray. Nice."
Well it's the second or third video he already did that refrence on, and that was after he just had the tray in one video, and the comment section being spammed with that reference, so of course he knows we catch it
Yeah I like old Steve.
Love that channel. Some of the most chill and calming videos on youtube. It's like therapy watching him
THANK you, I thought I was losing my mind!
Harbour freight has gotten more people into repairs, diy cars etc, than any other beloved brand ever has because of their low prices. I can respect that.
Sometimes you just need a specialty, single use tool.
Totally true. They do have some acceptable products. Regardless of brand though I'd say to do your research on quality of your desired product and buy mid ground if you can afford it and actually intend to use it more than one a year.
🙋♂️
AvE you're literally one of the only channels I can just watch and not get bored of, my attention span is very short, as I'm sure you're aware of, and you're videos literally just capture me for the entire time, even if I need to be asleep. Honestly a trip up to your hometown and even just an hour around you would literally be a dream come true for me. Don't mean to get all sappy and straight-forward about it but dude, you're honestly a role model in my life. Just... don't stop what you're doing.
That handheld mini chainsaw still gives me the giggles xD
What do you hold a big chainsaw with?

It's a super fun little tool too. I only bought one because I saw it in videos on TH-cam like this but its ended up being used a lot more than I expected it would.
The lady loves it for her gardening/yardwork too.
The “TIME!” does it for me 😂
@@HitLeftistsWithHammers your letting her PLAY with the wrong tool! FOOL!!
UPDATE - The Hazard Freight has sort of discontinued the Earthquake 12 Volt Polisher/Sander. It rebranded the device as a Hercules 12 Volt Polisher/Sander. All the accessories are otherwise the same, too. Earthquake is only going to be sold as pneumatic tools.
TOOLS EXPLAINED
DRILL PRESS : A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL : Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh*t'
DROP SAW : A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS : Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER : An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW : One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS : Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH : Used almost entirely for lighting on fire various flammable objects in your shop. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race..
TABLE SAW : A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK : Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.
BAND SAW : A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST : A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
10MM SOCKET : The most important size socket of any socket set. It's always in the last place you left it, no one seems to remember where that is. Often one of the reasons a 30 minute job takes longer than an hour.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER : Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER : A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.
PRY BAR : A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER : A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER : Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
UTILITY KNIFE : Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
ADJUSTABLE WRENCH: aka "Another hammer", aka "the Swedish Nut Lathe", aka "Crescent Wrench". Commonly used as a one size fits all wrench, usually results in rounding off nut heads before the use of pliers. Will randomly adjust size between bolts, resulting in busted buckles, curse words, and multiple threats to any inanimate objects within the immediate vicinity.
I'm glad I decided to read the comments.
0:19 Loving the Steve references 😃
"Mniice" - but we need the M'kay!!!
noice!!
Cool
I know... I lost my shit on the last video when he was let's get this on to a tray...
I'll be coming back at ya with something new, or old. Alright, siya
Hahaha I started laughing as well
Reverse can come in real handy with wire brushes and abrasive discs when you’re close to an edge and the tool wants to f*** right off. Also when trying to aim the grinding dust away from a clean area and into your buddies eyes. Bit of a moot point though with the threaded interface rather than a collet...

This reminds me of the fashion industry.
Brand names going to independent factories and them building to their design for 3 days a week. The other 4 days the same factory produces "Low quality" fakes.
Wondering if the Einhell brand is from same factory , it looks lot like Milwaukee
Its sold in Finland www.netrauta.fi/akkuporakone-te-cd-12-li-12v-laturi-ja-2-akkua
Best tool reviews on the planet. I find myself mentioning these every time I talk about cordless tools, ratchets, or general shop shenanigans. Really want to see a review of the Milwaukee inch impact from a real source.
Mag well? Demonetized!
Not to mention the GSG pistol box in the background at 6:22!!
I LOL'd!!
Yay a recycler after my own heart throb. I love how you put everything into the recycle bag.
They say that if you say "robust conversation!" 3 times fast in front of an iMac, Charlie Brown will come for ya.
Oh the love for a fellow employee. His sander unscrewing itself all day. Love It!
Reverse is for the Southern Hemisphere. Aluminum oxide grains work in reverse there.

11:47 You should put it back together real quick and give it to Dewclaw as a valentines day gift
Been feeling down lately. Start the video and almost piss myself laughing with the mini chainsaw. THEN, I go and learn some things about the HF, like all their tools are NOT crap! Thanks AvE.
My favourite words:
Gentleman welcome back to the shop, today a treat especial!
Essential craftsman mentioned you in a video thought I’d come check your channel out. Hello from Saskatchewan.
sometimes its like listening to a different language I love this channel
I love your videos man. You crack me up, and are more straight forward and informative than anybody else on TH-cam. Thank you
"Lets get this out onto a tray... Nice!" Steve is a legend; I cannot begin to count how many TH-camrs from all walks of life remember to say reference him whenever a tray in evolved.
i love how all my favorite youtubers reference each other, abe, stevemre and louis rossman. so fun
Both are made in China anyway but it beats running a two or five hp air compressor to power a .08 hp pneumatic tool !
Very good point.
I don't think you understand how compressors work. The compressor motor is not directly driving the tool. The tool is powered by the air receiver. It's an energy storage device. What the tool consumes is what it consumes. What you have compressing the air be it a 500 watt or 500 hp motor is irrelevant. Compressor horsepower is only going to change how fast air receiver is brought back up to pressure.
@@otm646 you're right, but pneumatic power is very inefficient. From AirBestPractices:
"To operate a 1-horsepower compressed air motor, approximately 7 horsepower of electrical power requirement is put into the air compressor. Even more power is needed when the pressure is higher than a typical pressure of 90 psi."
I'm an American, so bear with me, but those batteries are the shortest 650mm I've ever seen. :-P
American here too, and I also caught that. I guess I did use metric in the Corps though. I ran a 155mm howitzer battery (6 guns). That's roughly a 6" round.
@@VanquisherUSMC I'm guessing he meant 65mm, but bumblefucked it.
Imagine handing a present to your friend, and he opens it with a mini chainsaw and screams time at the end of it
Pro tip for all shops.
Scatter many different things with different shapes and from different materials all over the floors and benches.
In case a clip or c-ring flies off, hold your breath, stay still and listen carefully. Look around, identify what could cause which sound and go through each "pling" and "plong".
No possibility to loose anything again if you layout your mess carefully enough
Julian Weinert this is so stupid that it’s genius😂 if it’s stupid and it works it’s not stupid eh?
I've also noticed buying wire wheels for 4" grinders, I went to home desperation with the company card an paid a whopping 17 bucks a piece. Then when we needed more I tried Harbor Freight and they were 4 bucks each. When I got back to shop upon looming at each wheel they were identical. The Milwaukee had exact same markings/numbers etc as the "cheapo". They were exact same wheels. Well I guess the Milwaukee had a better packaging....prettier if'n that matters
"They just bung up the worx "....
That's the new AVE coffee mug
Was that 'nice' on the tray a nod to Steve1989 ?? If so I'm amazed
It was, and it makes me laugh too. 😂👍♥️
Me too 😁
i thought i recognized that tray lol NIce
This motor is not grainy at all, a really nice motor. Let me try this lathe here, real quick. Delicious.
Yea. He also did a 'Nice' with a tray last video too.
Kinda like rewiring a friends car horn so the positive lead from the horn is spliced to the positive lead from the brake lights, the result should be recorded.
I agree AvE, balls are better in pairs. Even if they are in the babydoll's purse! 😁
Are u from past? 6 days?
Var Ve Yok you must be new here. He’s a patron
Nope. I knew. Just messing.
@@varveyok533 No I'm just slow! 😊
Hey AvE, the stickers came in yesterday. put the braille one on the laser cutter. had a good laugh. boss slightly confused. stays there. well worth it.
My favorite Canadian is back!!
0:25 seconds in and my dude shows a desi gudawhara tray.
Quite the set of fanny polishers you got there. For those days when Charmin wont cut the mustard.
I have both the Milwaukee as well as the earthquake xt 12 volt and the Milwaukee I have noticed is a ton better but they both work
the baby chainsaw still running strong, always a welcome sight
I'm especially fond of Prudence, the safety goat. Thanks for not using a sheep, for obvious reasons...
Ooooh fukyeaaah. I love this stuff. Back to the good old days. Cracks me up.
The 200lb Gorilla had a lil trouble getting in the case! 🤣
200?
John Cunningham u have to watch AVE to know
Gotta be at least 250
John Cunningham he called himself a 200lb gorilla on several occasions
@@jhsplaya But he's lost weight according to his diet suggestions. Now maybe he's a large monkey.
Love when I find one of your tool reviews of something I'm interested in buying. It's like Christmas morning maybe better than buying the damn tool ha
I can't believe I never thought to use the pokey bit of my calipers as a depth gauge, all these years spent using fasteners and a sharpie... like a sucker.
jokkerb I lost my tire tread depth gauge at work but discovered I can use the “pokey bit” of my digital caliper for more accurate inspections
LOL does your brain work?
Always learning from videos and will always watch your videos love the content Ave 😀
Im just here for the bad language😂
this may be the longest unboxing ive ever seen... AWESOME.
19:27 18mm around 650mm long thats some loooooooonnngggg cells ya got there AvE
Oops, got em😁
For those that want to decode that number - 18650
18mm diameter
65mm length
0 - cylinder
@@sagetx dont come over here with your sensible rational head on now 😂
The forward / reverse option could be for extra style points when burnishing
robert rochacz or if you go overseas wherein they drive on the wrong side!
Hmm sorry I dont quite get it, how does reverse direction help burnishing again? Thanks
"TIME." It honestly still gets funnier with every video.
That mini chainsaw is the most awesome, useless, tool ever. I wish we could get them from the usual scumbags here in the states.
Jack of Many Trades they were on amazon back when ave made a vid on it. I just checked again and they’re not there anymore fml
@@PatrickS9595 Maybe order from Amazon.de, the german version? Or some tool import joint. Is it battery driven? You'll probably be able to get those without issue here.
@@PatrickS9595 3 left according to my Amazon. May not be exactly the same bosch model but none the less in stock.
amazon.de is a good source for stuff like that.
4:44 It's like watching the black bears on garbage day.
"I call the other guy Singer" as in Singer Sewing Machine...
On a serious topic, chances of Milfuckie batteries being used in the Earthquake? I've got enough Milfuckie M12s to supply the entire Royal Canadian Knob Polishing Brigade and it would be nice if I don't have to get equal amounts in the Earth Quake brand.
Greg Gagne
Look on the net for an adapter
I noticed both tools have triangular-ish battery slots but one pointed forward, the other aft.
Packs might fit backwards if the polarity checks out.
Adapters are Cheep...
@@bansheemania1692 If someone has made one let me know. I did a pretty extensive search yesterday from the usual scumbags and nobody has done a Earthquake 12v to Milwaukee M12 adapter. Times I wish I had a 3d printer...
@@bansheemania1692 Could you post a link, or search terms? I'm not finding anything.
I am glad to see the return of your mini chainsaw package opener.
TPR is Thermoplastic Rubber, which is pretty much just vulcanized rubber particles suspended in a thermoplastic. Its mostly recyclable and easier to work with than straight thermosets, and can be used in a conventional plastic injection machine
Lets get this out on a tray, Nice! Great Homage!
I have no idea what just happened but I'm tuning in for more................
Harbor Freight is getting better and better.
I died when you said “who thinks I’m going to put this back together right”-the gear box 😂😂😂
Love the comments about Louis right to repair 👍👍👍👍👍
Love that episode of Star Trek. The trouble with tribbles. 😝
Funny that I got an evil grin the moment it went into reverse... Thinking the exact same thing...
Me too man. Hahaha I feel like a leopard waiting for prey now!
Who else here actually had that happen to em?🤣
@AvE I did get a "Retina-Remover 9000" yesterday and as I thought, it's at least 7000 better than the 2000!
Have a thumbs up and glad to support your channel
0:25 I love when my favorite TH-cam vijayo makers make subtle references to each other. MRE Steve is the Bob Ross of TH-cam :D
Oh, hello there! I'm a fan)
I’m pretty sure Steve would eat that Snap On off the tray. It’s way more fresh than he’s used to though so maybe a little MRE hot sauce...

Most satisfying unboxing ever
You bring me laughter in 2020. thanks 👍
“Try not to get blowup on your face.” Lol!!😂
Drill a hole about 6" from the top of trash can. Then it will let air out.

That's good advice. Thanks.
So much easier than poking holes in the bag -
@@PapaWheelie1 sometimes the hole in a bag turns into a rip. But to each their own.

Boltr's are why I subscribed and they continue to deliver the goods. I mean the machining is cool too but...don't ever stop doing boltr's.
Thats the proper way to open the box, I need to try that.
One of these days yer gonna hit a battery with that mini chainsaw and shits gonna be on fire yo..
Hopefully recorded for our pleasure... 😂
*thanks for keeping the audio neat while noisen arround!!
That's one of the little touches that makes this channel great. Uncle B takes pride in the editing to prevent blown eardrums.
Blow molded cases are good on a service truck because it allows them to stack without falling and quick access
Louis Rossman is hysterical. He tells you not to buy the thing that he makes money to repair.
I love your channel and learn a lot more from you than many of the other ones, and I loved your Tom Sachs name drop! As a huge fan of his and a guy who has made a lot of art for other artists, when you need a special tool for one project, it's good to know what a guy can get away with! You are actually dang funny too! still trying to learn your lingo...

Frankly you deserve likes just for mentioning Louis Rossman, and even before that I was thinking "Random? Random."

God bless your work. Hahaha. That ending "It might pack a bag" where do you come up with this stuff?? Good vid man. Being involved in the firearms manufacturing industry I quickly learned very few make their own stuff and proceeded to find out, like in thirs video, it translates to most things we consume
That was a graceful unboxing
I'm glad you take these things apart so I don't have to.
the led's for battery life on the earthquake are the same as what some of the miwaukee fuel m12's use on the tool also.
I keep watching AVE because he has a wit and vocabulary just like my grandpap (he’s been gone a few years now) Funny story: Pap fed his dog alpo for years, “40 cents a can and he loves the shit.” Pap would say. One day Dad brought him a case of real fancy “savory beef“ dog food. Pap asked how much it cost, and when dad told him pap said “You can put a saddle on a cow and teach it how to Trot, but all fucking dog food is horse meat boy.”
I appreciate that jump cut while you were digging in the bin. I like to imagine you were digging through it for about an hour in between the cuts
