      I'm very pleased with my Hercules. I go through an impact every year on the year and I've been on teams red and yellow. I am not missing any power with the Herc and in a year when it surely breaks, I'll just get a new one for free. So for me it's basically buy one get 4 free.

    I like your demo, apparently (by watching other videos), I’m the only one who doesn’t use my impact driver & spade bits. I use my drill. When driving lags I use my impact wrench for them. I use my impact driver for driving screws. But I know that everyone has there own preferences. I know that Harbor Freight is stepping up their game buy the quality of Hercules power tools. Now if HF would do a kit with tool, battery & charger.

    Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" th-cam.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

    I bought a Hercules just to test it out, and so far I’ve been very impressed. I own Milwaukee and Makita and I enjoy using the makita more, but that being said the Hercules is very nice. You can tell it doesn’t have the best motor out of the 2 and gets hotter faster, but for a tool I’m gonna use as a beater and a backup I don’t mind. It works great!

    A lot of people talk trash about harbor freight but the Bauer brushless power tools are pretty good for the price if you work on stuff around the house. Hercules has come a long way with adding brushless. They are really great tools.

      I like the underdog, Hercules, but I recently purchased several FLEX tools...they are INCREDIBLE! This is what I got and what I paid:
      6.5" Inline Circular Saw, 5.0 Ah battery, charger: $189
      Reciprocating Saw, 5.0 Ah battery, charger: $189
      Hammer Drill w/Turbo and Impact Driver Kit, 2.5 Ah battery, 5.0 Ah battery, charger: $259
      1.6 gallon Vacuum, Tool Only: FREE!
      Five FLEX tools, 4 batteries and 3 chargers, worked out to an average cost per tool (including batteries and chargers) of about $137!!! Amazing deals as I happened to be at my local Lowe's at the right time, when these spot sales were happening. The 2 saws are typically $249 and the Drill/Driver kit is normally $359; the vacuum (Tool only) is $119 but it was free with the already reduced Drill/Driver kit!
      I think the Hercules Impact Driver is closer to $180 when you get the battery and charger, as well (70/70/40). In my case, the average cost of my FLEX tools were more than $40 less than the cost of the Hercules tools plus FLEX has a Lifetime Warranty.
      I think I saw a video recently where the FLEX battery was powering a Milwaukee tool...there is an adapter you can get for this...if you have Milwaukee and want to transition to FLEX, the adapter is a great idea.
