For anyone who is considering these tools. I highly suggest trying them, pick one you will use all the time and give it a shot. They aren't expensive for a power tool line. I own the 3/8 impact 12v, the 12v screw gun, and the 12v drill. I use the screw gun and impact on a daily basis for nearly 4 years as a dealer technician. I own snap on power tools as well. I would honestly say for what I use both the snap on 3/8 and Hercules 3/8 for. They are of the same quality for a new tech in the field or a DIYer. They are fantastic entry tools into any field to get on your feet and start earning money. These tool have paid for them selves time over time already.
I been using this drills for over two year everyday And very impressed for the money I paid this drills pay for itself and still have more years to go .
Im phazing out my old 18v Dewalt due to battery cost. Going all Hercules. Have all impacts, half a dozen large amd small batts, 1/2" drill and a heat gun. So far so good. Going to get a couple saws and a blower next.
How's that working out for u? I've never been happier with a tool purchase I have the ultra torque impact, the brushed compact impact, and brushless hammer drill and they all kick ass
nice collection. I have the 1/2 impact no problem I use harbor freight Pittsburg impact sockets and the tackle impact sockets on it no problems. I know for a fact my brother has problems with his Milwaukee and with craftsman sockets.
Great collection, looks similar to mine, I actually love this brand I've been building my collection for about 5 years now, everything but my 12v stuff I've had more than a year my drill and impact 5 years now and they have never let me down and I use it almost daily I don't notice a huge difference between the power of other tool brands but the batteries I love. Me and my father in law did a comparison of a new Dewalt impact and my old hercules impact along with my 5 year old battery and he went through almost 2 batteries before I went through 1. Anyone looking into this brand give it a try I love it and it definitely gets the job done witch is all that matters at the end of the day. And preference just buy what you like. I only bought into it cause I wanted to be different and did not want to go with crowd ended up loving the brand
The tools themselves are great but its the batteries ive been most impressed with their build quality is rugged & solid and they last for friggin ever ive left my 5ah in the rain over the weekend dried it off w a t shirt and ran it like nothing happened still use it to this daybw no issues
@@toolsonabudget7763 right now I’m debating over that electric ratchet and the durofix electric ratchet, love the triggers on both and they aren’t that expensive with a battery and charger but the downside on the durofix is that it has a bulky head, and the downside on the Hercules is that my local HF doesn’t have it in stock 🥲😂
I’d like to see Harbor Freight stick to one battery platform for all their tools. A few years ago I spend more time that i care to admit, selecting a platform to invest in. I choose Makita because of their expansive line. Recently I’ve expanded into Ryobi but got a battery adapter to work with my Makita batts. If Freight did one big line that covers everything, they’ve got a winner.
@@toolsonabudget7763 Yeah, but if they're all in house brands, they could still have varying levels of tools, with the same batteries. They just do it so they can sell more batteries and such, and in the case of some of the tools, seemingly sell the same tool in different colors with different batteries (and a higher price on the Herc) as both a Bauer, and a Hercules (I.E their recip saws). Just have like Bauer and Bauer PRO or something and run one battery platform.
@@JBPlaysGames1 i mean everyone does it lol milwaukee ryobi and ridgid are all the same but batteries dont interchange. Also craftsman and dewalt use same parts but dont interchange
@@toolsonabudget7763 Yes but those are all sold almost everywhere, so its a bit of a different animal but I see your point. Where as TTI makes all those different brands and sells them to stores. I think they should do something along those lines too, but this being the fact that its literally HF having those tools made specifically for them, they could do something like that rather than have all these different brands. At least with those other brands they have low end tools, and high end tools, where as at HF if you wanna get nicer tools for some stuff and cheaper tools for other stuff you need two totally different battery platforms. You see what I mean? Like I can buy M18 Fuel tools for stuff I will use a lot, and maybe stuff I wont use as much I can buy cheaper M18 brushed stuff. Where as with HF, I would have to buy into the Bauer or Warrior battery platforms if I wanted a cheaper lower end alternative.
@@JBPlaysGames1i understand u lol it might be because its hf's first attemt to get into the real power tool market maybe they will fix it in the future as u see the earthquake is already getting phased out
got some 20V drills because after some discounts the tools, batteries, and charger ended up being less than other options, less than their bauer brand would have been even that is the lower end stuff. was thinking about maybe getting a sawzall or angle grinder, would have preferred angle grinder since it would be more useful for me, but for some reason the hercules cutting tools are really expensive and since I don't cut things that often I opted to just not buy anything
I believe that you mentioned this in the review, but, will the 3/8" impact wrench 20V work for lug nuts? I'm specifically looking to get one for changing/rotating tires and want something that'll break the lugs loose. (I torque everything to 100ft-lbs). I was hoping to get the 1/2" impact wrench, but it's nearly impossible to find one in a store near me (or even within a hour driving distance).
I have the hammer drill and it's amazing. Because I had the battery I picked up the heat gun. The cordless heat gun is garbage. You can't lock it on, it only works with the trigger pulled, so you have to hold it while it heats up. The corded went on sale right after I bought it, so I swapped it out. The corded is great, night and day better.
@@toolsonabudget7763 I love the fan, it is small enough to fit under the hood of a vehicle , and the adjustable speed knob is a great feature, instead of high and low.the ratchet has been great also , I chose the 1/4” since the bolts that size would not be that tight for it, and helps with the bolts that are harder to reach.
Today I just bought the half inch drive brushless impact it was on sale for $89 about the charger and a battery the big battery 5 amp hour in I haven't really used it too much yet but it seems like it works really good versus my old rigid brushed impact it broke yesterday went to go replace it it was way too much money so we'll try and your review is very good did a good job kiss me hoping that these tools will last I'm a mechanic and their quarter the price
I have a 1/2" Hercules impact, sometimes it will not work and the led light flashes. Every had that problem? Didn't find anything in the manual about it.
Ryobi tools put up better specs, stats, build quality, and cost the same when they are on sale. Also, great warranty that doesn't even require the receipt. They also have about 8 times the variety of tools than anything from Hercules. No reason to go buy this stuff from Hazard Fraud.
I agree i thought buying into the hercules system but once I added up everything i wanted to start out with it was better to just go with set from big box store
The new brushless 20v stuff has really grabbed my attention now, especially on the $50 sale with a 5 year warranty. They're doing 2 brushless tools for $99.99 and the 8 amp high output 21700 cell battery is part of that. Really pretty unbeatable.
I have harbor freights Bauer 1/2 inch and 3/8s impacts waiting on Bauer to come out with cordless ratchet and I'll buy one they may not be ask good as Milwaukee or DeWalt but they don't have the big price tag and these two impacts are good for what I do
I love the Hercules brand and their warranty… I just started investing in Packout….(Car payment) but they out great tool boxes… and I have more HF products than I know… if you know what you’re doing, then you know what to buy?…. Right?
I prefer Skil for budget tier they have higher touch of class to it despite the low price point and extra features others don’t have at all. I like the half inch brushless impact though may give it a try it’s 70 with a 5 ah battery right now. The chargers should be ten bucks not 45
i work at a transmission shop, we rebuild a lot, we have all Milwaukee but my boss did buy the 3/8 impact and impact screw-gun to see. the batteries don't last has long and their not quit as powerful as the Milwaukee's, but they haven't broke in over a year of super high use. they are perfect for the after work, weekend warrior types that play in their shops. u can get Milwaukee super cheap on sale all the time, just be patient, u cant beat a Milwaukee bang for the buck, u cant.
Used hercules in the shipyard when I was in a budget didn’t get a warranty and was kinda eh on em but they still run after 2.5 years of pure abuse and would recommend them upgraded to Milwaukee but my buddy got em and still used them and he is still suprised that they hold up

I just replace my hog rings to hold sockets on. It's just the rubber o ring underneath that gets worn
I just got the1/2 inch hercules drill 1200 inch.lbs of torque it's a monster so much power I used a few times and I'm very happy with my purchase.

The thing I like about those electric ratchets is the trigger and the small head on them, I feel like other brands make the heads too bulky
That y i like them too also my milwaukee trigger gets stuck on sensor wires alot lol

They do multiple lines so they can have entries at different price points kinda how home depot does ryobi ridgid and milwaukee

if they are torqued below 250 ft lbs then yes lol mine does most sometimes u will get one that is really tight

I love corded tools for a reason.
i love cordless because of my work but do enjoy corded ones as well
@puppy dog yes i will link u a few
@puppy dog what type of car do u have? u might need a bigger alternator
I got in the Hercules line for the 12 volt 3” sander polisher. It works good for little sanding jobs.
Have you gotten your hands on the one handed recip saw?
You have a great collection of hercules tools. I have the fan , which is great, and also have the 1/4 ratchet.
how do u like them

Nice overlies of Hercules. Thanks.
I jusf started .y hercules line with 1/4 impact and 1/2 xompact impaxt . I AM DONE WITH DEWALT
I have a 1/2" Hercules impact, sometimes it will not work and the led light flashes. Every had that problem? Didn't find anything in the manual about it.
Mine does that if i impact and quicly release then repress the trigger
I have all the 12v just because of the ratchets but want the 20v for the impact but can't have Bauer 20v Hercules 12v and then 20v
i hear you lol .
How's the 1/2" impact gun ? I was thinking of picking one up, my Goodyear wrench has no batterys available for it.
Its honestly very good for the price
I have the 3/8in 20v impact and I usually have to smack the sockets in and pry them out with a screwdriver
ya i think the hog rings they used are subpar
I didn't know Harbor Freight sold Hercules lights and a hot air gun. I think the hot air gun is discontinued.

lol ryobi is ok but i have a box with dead ryobi tools that died prematurely so just depends on what tools u look at
I agree i thought buying into the hercules system but once I added up everything i wanted to start out with it was better to just go with set from big box store
Ryobi is a no go for me. I don’t like their power tools so trash. My Hercules impact held up better than my ryobi ever did 😂
Paper specs vs. real-life performance are completely different in my personal opinion.

It's probably the sockets making it slip off cheaper sockets don't have the indent on the inside for the hog ring.
was the hog ring got a replacement no issues so far
