Not sure what some of you are talking about, but there are several YT vids showing the 3/8 compact taking off lugs even on big trucks. That's good enough for me.
There just as good as the rest they can be used commercially just like snap on don't bullshit you're I use mine commercially I just don't drink the snapon cool aide
I'm happy with my Hercules impact driver and 1/2 High Torque impact wrench. Both have the 5a battery. However, this 1/2 compact impact wrench is not very strong. Tried it and returned it the next day when it struggled to take off lugs on some cars. I ended up purchasing the Dewalt DCF891 Mid Torque (800ft/lb) with the 5a Powerstack battery which is as strong as the feedback all around says. If it continues to perform this good, the Hercules High Torque will come out only for certain tasks
For the price, they can't be beaten. You can't expect something that's rated at 525 ft/lb to take a nut off that was put on by a wrench that is rated at 600. The one that was rated at 555 ft/lb DID take it off. WHAT MORE DO PEOPLE WANT?? The first set of lag screws was essentially a dead heat. The second, the tool with more rated torque won slightly. And you never actually tested to see if the wrench could physically take a nut off that was torqued to 555, so all the haters in the comments have no clue what either wrench can or cannot do.
I have the 1/2" one as well as the brushless 20v grinder. But only a 2.5 battery. I went there today to cop a 5AH battery and they had none. Straight up not a single one! I have the 1/4" impact and I'm going to use the 2.5 battery with that but the grinder and the 1/2' impact need that 5AH. The grinder is nice idk if you have one or are going to get one. I am itching to get a couple 5ah batteries. I've been using corded angle grinders for a long using a cordless one is going to be crazy nice.
Does the 3/8 impact wrench take off 90 flb lug nut . I saw negative review of 3/8 about breakaway lug nut on harbor freight website .but when I saw your video I ambsure I will take off 90flb lug nut.
I got the kobalt xtr and just sold off my 1/4 impact drill driver that was Hercules it had gotten water in it but later started working perfectly normal
I'm hopping in here because I was really hopeful that the hercules mid torque would compare to the milwakuee because I have the high torque 1/2 inch milwakuee and I've had to get it replaced twice in a year. The hercules wouldn't take off a single lug nut on 3 different cars at work today. Not worth it whatsoever I will be returning it today and buying the milwakuee.
@@toolsonabudget7763 I believe this one is the same by the same manufacture: ACDelco ARI20174-PM P20 Series 20V Cordless Li-ion 1/2” 369 ft-lbs. Heavy Duty Brushless Impact Wrench Tool Kit
@@Mike-yo7nb I cant lie they looked pretty decent and the price is good.... then you see people on here give them pretty good reviews so I'm like lets give it a try. Well these people are wrong because its garbage lol
new to your channel, absolutely love the review. thank you. i think it would be more accurate if you let the bolt cool down before doing the test, no? with the constant torquing and breaking away it warms it up making it easier to unscrew so it wouldnt be the same as breaking away a 250 torqued cold bolt.
Personally the Hercules 1/2 impact gun is not good. I used it at my shop to pull off lugs and it couldnt do it. These lugs were torqued to no more than 120ft lbs. I used both 2.5ah and 5.0ah. I was disappointed. I returned it and got a ridgid for $149 at home depot. It came with battery and charger! The Ridgid works flawless!
I agree that the Hercules 1/2 compact impact wrench is weak. I'm using their impact driver with 5a battery which is surprisingly strong when used with 1/2" impact sockets and adapters. As well as their 1/2 High Torque with 8a battery. Between these two tools so far, I have not felt the need to purchase any Mid Torque or 3/8 impact
These tools are just as good as the rest matter fact I got Milwaukee and I've had terrible luck with there batteries they are strait trash. I mean junk. I use mine daily working on cars they work in a commercial setting just as good as the rest.

I used to work at the shop where most drops are high end brand. But I would definitely buy this for home use, especially under $100.

@@bobobrazil1973 they definetly can be, but the reliability you get from bigger brands is what attracts so man commercial guys
I like the Herculese as compact impacts. They also have much bigger models too. Very happy with mine
from what I've seen from watching reviews is if you want the rated torques pick up the 8Ah or higher battery.
at the time of these reviews they did not have a 8ah battery
Thanks for the video. Good test and result. I'd like to suggest getting someone to handle the recording when you're handling the tools. Thanks

If you are in that platform, it would be a good choice for DIY, thanks for the video
thank you for waatching it im uploading a video where i took it apart
Great video man! Now I need to find one.
thanks man!
You can pick one up at harbor freight
I have the 1/2 Oct 2022 8amp battery. It's cool, but don't have no where near 555ft lbs of break away torque. Maybe 290lbs
Well what I recommend is take the 2 or 1 year warranty, you make the money 6-10x over, if it brakes replace not with new
they changed it now its 5 year warranty included in price
@@toolsonabudget7763 perfect, especially as a mobile tech. Working in different weather conditions, ain't got to worry about buying new one 🤣
Nice I haven’t seen these in my store yet
they just came out yesterday night
Does the 3/8 impact wrench take off 90 flb lug nut . I saw negative review of 3/8 about breakaway lug nut on harbor freight website .but when I saw your video I ambsure I will take off 90flb lug nut.
Nice

Hopefully you're not talking about the Hercules Ultra
why Hercules does not offer complete set (with charger an battery?) for 3/8 impact?
During their sales you can get a battery and charger and they give you the tool free
I am not professional but I have one question 3/8 should b fine for 100flb for lug nuts or tire rotaion and thnk you for sharing video
Yes if they are torqued to 100 this will do it bo problem
The Durofix 1/2 in impact wrench at Amazon can actually break 500 ftlbs as tested on TH-cam.
hmm i have to check it out lol

I work on cars for a living but small quick jobs out going mobile... I wonder if the 3/8 impact would work out for my needs.
i believe it would
No. This impact not that great.
@@Mike-yo7nb I kinda found that out the hard way... these things are terrible
@@BigTravGill same here! Returned after 10 minutes. They are terrible

Next time use the same impact socket on all guns
Right now those Hercules 20v 5.0ah batteries are still 2 for $89👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Damn thats a deal. The 1/2 inch impact is on sale for $55 right now for member 65 for non members

thank you and yes thats a good idea lol thanks will try that on the dewalt review im doing
The Drive test (the bolt into the wood) wasn't a fair test as the Hercules wrench had to drive the bolt at an angle.
GLOW STICKS! DANCE TIME! I WAS BOPPING ON THAT INTRO YO. WORD TO MOMMY!
3/8th use short repetitive trigger bursts.
Could u open one up maybe?
I did check out my videos
Please for your experience what is the best 3/8 drive cordless impact wrench 18v,thanxalot
right now for compact i think its the dewalt dcf903 its small and hits really hard and for mid torque its the milwaukee mid torque
You need to improve upon your camera technique. The constant movement of the camera was getting me dizzy.
These tools wouldn't get a bad rap if everyone used a lug wrench and impact together
Can anyone teach me the point of a 1/2" mid-torque impact? I'm trying to figure out what I should use it for.
The stronger ones like my milwaukee can pretty much do anything but on this hercules its pretty much pointless lol
If you're trying out the Hercules line, don't bother with the Mid Torque. I'm using the 1/2 High Torque with 8a battery
Personally the Hercules 1/2 impact gun is not good. I used it at my shop to pull off lugs and it couldnt do it. These lugs were torqued to no more than 120ft lbs. I used both 2.5ah and 5.0ah.

yeah i dont like them too much after using them for a while ill stick with my milwaukee
Rigid has the life time service agreement too
I have the Ridgid line there a little on the bulky side the battery is wide and can't fit tight spot

can you change a big truck tire with the Hercules impact wrench?
f150 maybe yes big rig no lol
you dont explain what you are doing?
Need to try using shallow impact sockets. Might make a difference
the deep ones hit harder more mass
There was a difference in sockets that he used needs to use the same for all tests
Did it come with a battery?
nope they sell them seperaterly
good lord man , mount the dam camera on something so you can just do what your here to show .
But can it remove wheel lug nut ( The 1/2" unit ) ?
Yeah
Dude, buy a 5 dollar tripod to hold that phone. I was getting sea sick watching your video.
change big truck tire

That’s what I was thinking. Some are impatient with a product if it doesn’t do the job in less than a second. Thanks for your comment.
Milwaukee big truck tire change
Lol at the title, not even close. And I’m not s mw fan.
what?
Big truck tire
Nigga what
