ACTUAL Professional ICON tools you can find at HARBOR FREIGHT PART 2.
Save yourself a buck or two.
The chief professional long barrel air hammer.
Recently, on an episode over on the torque test channel, it was revealed that this air hammer not only looks the same but was made in the same factory and shares most of the same parts with the Mac tools mph1911. Only this thing has a different trigger mechanism. The Mac tools version? That things gonna set you back a crazy $399.99 while this chief costs a mere $140 retail.
DAMN, thats over a $250 savings just for knowing who actually makes it.

Those are really strong, but I'm on my fourth one in about 2 years. Luckily I purchase the extended warranty.
How is it “really strong” if you’re on the 4th one in 2 years?
@@jordenbronson8122 strong in power not strong in build quality
I've been running my Ingersoll Rand for at least 5 years without issue.
Had my Mac which is allegedly the exact same for 10 years still going strong never had a problem and i use it frequently guess it was worth the extra 200
I've been using mine for 2 years and never replaced it. Fulltime Subaru mechanic. Use air tool oil daily like the instructions say and you shouldn't have a problem. Can't see how you've gone through 4....
If harbor freight got into the tool truck business. It would destroy the big brands
That's a rubbish industry to get into. They don't care about that
Steel eagle absolutely correct
Nah, unless they came to the shop daily to replace the broken stuff many wouldn't buy. It's great for the home user or new guy to turning wrenches but for a pro who depends daily on his tool for heavy use they don't hold up
@@brandonbrown3600 I've been a mechanic for 28 years and all I own is harbor freight tools and haven't broke shit yet so🤷🏽🤷🏽
@@brandonbrown3600 idk so far haven't broken anything harbor freight things like snap on and sonic and all this other mumbo jumbo your just paying for the brand even though a exact product of a different brand can hold up the same or even better. People don't like to admit it but it's true
my dad bought a metal lathe from Harbor Freight, came to find out thatt it was sold under another brand name for 3 times the price. that was 25 yrs ago and its still going.
They sell lathes???
@@ernestocastellanos6446 Table top lathes yes
@Ernesto Castellanos yes I have one it's been going strong for 20 years. it's a big girl
@@ernestocastellanos6446 I have their stand alone 33 inch wood lathe and it’s surprisingly robust. Only $400 and obviously I’m not throwing any huge chunks of mahogany in there but it works a treat on small to mid sized lumber for most all your hobbyist needs!! Just go walk through a harbor freight sometime it’s surprising the scope of products they have!
Harbor freight’s prices are getting out rages these days
I cannot tell if you are meaning expensive or inexpensive. I know if you are meaning expensive you have never stepped foot on a tool truck.
Outrageous *
“Save yourself a buck or 2”
More like a hundred or 2! Gotta love HF
I got mine almost two years ago and it's the hardest hitting hammer in my shop. If what you're hitting doesn't move the bit usually winds up snapping, and those are Snap on.
Cant go wrong with a good 1911
Those right angle die grinders are the bees knees too. I've personally used some of them eight hours a day five days a week for months on end. Just put a few drops of oil in at the beginning of the day and they will last forever if you're only using them a few times a month.
I use them at work too, the head comes unscrewed, and I just loctite it and tighten it with a hammer🤷♂️
got a brand new IR for $150. Pup peppers
And probably came with the chisel set
I recently bought a cut off wheel from cornwell, then a coworker came up to me with his chief one and we spent an hour trying to find a difference, they were identical. Mine was $200, his was $60
Were y'all on the clock for that hour getting paid
Cornwell IS basically HF tools on a Cornwell truck
We have that chief air hammer and that thing is a beast
HB is my go to hands down I love the Pittsburgh big ratchets, I brake tools and it's been going strong for two years now working on big CAT Engines
They unstoppable now. Since they got the warranty on them.
My dude out here doing God's work. My man.
Torque Test Channel my gang. Thanks for mentioning them. Hope to see you in the comments. 🙏
one of their jacks is legit just a snap on re named for a fraction of the price
I bought that exact Daytona version from H-F at.less than 30% of the price of said Snap-On
I absolutely love harbor freight! Takes a lil extra time researching the right brands and such but it is SO SO worth it! And the customer service is like Chick-fil-A level
Just because they're made in the same factory and "share the same parts" doesn't mean they're the same quality, not a MAC tools or brand name guy myself, but just stating that everything is made to cost and quality, grade A parts go to the customer that pays the highest, grade B to the lower paying customers and so on, thus they might look the same, might function the same, doesn't mean they're going to last the same, not yo mention Macs lifetime warranty compared to HF 90 days.
Buy once cry once.
Or get IR same price with chisel set
Only the snap on air hammer works nice, I’ve had matco, mac, and cornwell.
I'll second that. Air tools were about the only thing I bought from Snap On with the exception of a few specialty tools. They're worth the price!!
I have the chief and have no problem feathering the trigger just did it today driving out a big truck wheel seal
I don't mind harbor freight. It's a fun store!
One of the most useful channel on TH-cam
Glad you think so! Appreciate it!
"BUT THE TRIGGER MAKES IT SO I CAN"T MAKE IT DO LIGHT TAPS!" - you went to an AIR HAMMER for _light taps?_ Pat pat pat.
Walking off a rounded rusty bolt. Makes it alot easier to start when you have trigger control. Rust belt things I guess
I got one of those off a Matco truck for 60 bucks cuz some guy traded it in for a “better” one. It’s the only tool I’ve gotten off that truck that didn’t need to get sent back 3 times before I gave up and just got a refund. Pretty sickening actually 😂 harbor freight tools are just fine in a professional shop if you know what to look for.
Knowing who makes stuff really can save money
I bought the cheif and my coworker bought the Mac. If I had to do it again, I would buy the Mac. The trigger on the cheif is awful.
LMAO yes the trigger is apparently uncontrollable but is it worth roughly $200?
@@GarnettTools when slipping off what you're hammering and can cost you more than that, yes
@@GarnettToolsfor someone with "tools" in your TH-cam handle, you seem to grossly underestimate the value of a higher quality tool. When you use it every day, you understand it best.
I have a set of 1/2 inch drive impact sockets that have been beaten and abused for almost 20 years. Never broken one. Never rounded one out. Used them like a punch in a press. Beat them with a hammer, use a 3/4 drive adapter and put a 7 ft bar on it.....just about anything you can think of, I've done it.
It's definitely strong. The issue in a "professional setting" is actually the trigger. It's all or nothing, no sort of feathering, which is problematic in delicate areas.
When you buy the MAC you get a trigger that will allow you to feather the hammering. High quality rivet guns have a feather trigger as well. I’ve never used this HR Air hammer but I suspects it’s on or off, yes it hammers but with out the control that the higher end tools have.
I agree ,when bucking rivets the feathering trigger is unmatched
It's on or off I have one. Kinda sucks
Or you could spend about $40 more than that chief brand and get a nice Ingersol air hammer that's better than both the Mac and the chief.
I bought a high end IR air chisel from Grangers. My experience with IR air tools and had zero gripes sealed the deal
I absolutely LOVE this content! Keep it up! Thank you!!
Get the Ingersoll Rand air hammer. Way more powerful and reliable
Thx . I love HF and have never had major issues with anything that I bought. Many people don’t know how to use something or put it together.
IF YOU EVER NEED GRINDER BLADES get the bauer brand blades w the red sticker, they’re black and red and they made the best blade i’ve used for cutting metal, they don’t break or wear down nearly as fast as the other brands and it’s around 10$ for a 10 pack of im not mistaken
I wonder if you can buy the mac trigger to fit to the chief
That air hammer is beast mode!
I just can't believe there's people that take the time to wander around harbor freight's making videos like this
Those earthquake xt air impacts kick ass
You had me at 1911!!!
How are the harbor freight impact wrenches for breaking bolts?
That Chief air hammer is something I use almost daily, surprisingly great quality for the price
Wish you did the same for tools here in Australia. And they do the same for TVs most run on Samsung and Panasonic parts. And the same for a lot of counterfeit shoes
Doyle fast adjust pliers are the same as Matcos.
I ran one for about four months and it broke on me, but I had warranty and got another and another at the end of the day. As long as your life does not depend on that tool and you can go to Harbor freight and get another one on warranty it’s worth it
I got the Big Chief. It works amazing, and I have used the crap out of it. I even stuck an 3/8" chisel bit in my knee with it. It when in my Knee like butter. That cost me $3200 at the hospital!
The air hammer rips.
Thank you for these videos ❤
Glad you like them!
had one and the entire front assembly broke off, only held on by a small flange that broke. Its only is the part that holds the bit. it needs to be way more material there. Used it three whole times
I learned a a very young age that most similar products are made in the same factories. Here’s another example: Caribou tumblers are literally made in the same factory as Yeti tumblers. They are the same in every way except the yeti tumblers get ruined in the dishwasher and the caribou ones don’t. Oh yeah, they’re 1/3 the price if not cheaper. That goes for the coolers too.
The may be made in the same factories, but that doesn't mean they are made of the same materials, processes, or tolerances. The "same factory" argument is just a sales gimmick 90% of the time.
When did they start doing "I work with my hands" hand models. The casting director nailed it.
Cute but these hands have fixed more expensive equipment than you can even fathom
Air hammers are awesome for knocking off rust scale on truck frames
Got my air impact in the 80s from HB. They were mostly mail-order back then. Still works great even after my brother's abuse.
Personal experience with it (since I use one everyday) it’s a good option and gets the job done the only down side to it sometimes unlike maco air hammer it isn’t as powerful so getting something like rivets out can be a challenge
It sucks actually
Loving these vids.
I get the Chief brand, they have a better warranty and tool replacement then going just through the store.
its true its just as strong, but that different trigger mechanism makes it so you have no pressure control, just stop and go.
This is where I now buy my new snap on ratchets wrenches and sockets.
the trigger does suck, it's strong, but 9/10 times if you're trying to be precise relatively of course it kicks you away
a punch and a hammer makes light taps very exact.
Chief 4" extended cutoff is great. Chief angle grinder sucks though.
I love all my icon stuff.
Instantly subscribed !
🙂👍
Do they come with the same warranty and exchange policy
I have the mac air hammer the new one and i can say its the same tool over all! I buy mac tools bc im a union millwright and use & abuse my tools daily! Ive got the best mac dealers in the tool game!! Truck had a deal on the kit with 3 brass tipped bits and 2 break an shakers plus a bunch of other bits. I buy there stuff bc of the service they provide me
I'll save you even more. Get the regular $15 Central Pneumatic one and never look back.
Ingersoll Rand all the way. Take it apart,clean the debris from the factory, keep it lubed up and it'll last forever.
Decent tool but I snapped the barrel in half using it.
You'd have snapped the barrel of a snap-on too then.
Almost all of those air tools are the exact same as the big brand ones, with a different stamp on the casing.
That 14 dollar one is the exact same as the 100 dollar Mac one. Same internals and everything.
Immediately subscribed
Nothing beats my grandpa's scary air hammer. He gave it to me a few years ago. I have no idea how old it is, what brand it is, or what evil lurks within. All I know is that it breaks everything it touches and sounds like a dying dinosaur
I’ve been using earthquakes half inch for two years now and everyone with a Snapon or matco says it’s so quiet compared to there’s and in many situations so far I’ve ended up using my gun over another not because it’s mine but because the other gun simply doesn’t have the ass. Also didn’t oil it for 6 months used in a dealer setting on engine jobs
ngl the 1911 in the mac tools part number might convince me.
Have that chief air hammer it lasted me all of 6 months before the entire front mechanism blew out of it :(
I got a regular old craftsman air grandpa used it now I got it and still abuse it still works just fine 😊
What’s a good air hammer for heavy duty diesel shop
Probably should have mentioned that the trigger mechanisms means the chief is basically on or off and hard af to feather while the mac trigger makes it much more controllable
It its effective with light taps. . . you didn't need to use it.
Is that what you use for impact rivets
Ok man, me as a professional Harbor Freight tool shopper, here’s a subscription!
I have my own heavy equipment repair business and I buy all my air tools there as well a my welding equipment as well there tool are more reliable and are. High quality as well
It’s a good air hammer but snap on all day any day it’s just plain better and hits much harder.
Their earthquake impacts aren't bad, 1/2 is good, lacks a little UMPH compared to a snap on.
Don’t buy the chief air hammer. It blew up in my hands. Upgraded to a snap on air hammer
I have this exact have air hammer and it is very powerful but the trigger does suck it almost seems It's All or Nothing
Dude there are so many damn near the whole icon series
Good air hammer but way less useful when hammering softer to harder precisely.
You are the GOAT
Appreciate it my dude 💯
Shoot I bought probably the cheapest air hammer they had at Harbor freight I think maybe $30 at most 4 years ago! Now I'm not a pro mechanic just a diyer but have used it alot, not an issue! Just remember to oil it. Lol
Just get the Ingersoll
I ought that on sale bc I saw that video his is talking about great buy co- workers always asking to borrow
I have both. I have had zero issues out of my Mac in 5 years. Ya, it was like $400, but I also got it on a promo with around a10 peice chisel and accessory kit. So really around $300.
On my 4th chief now in 60 days of the 90 day return period. The quality control is absolutely shit. If this one doesn’t perform flawlessly I’m giving up. If I count my time and gas on 4-20 mile trips to town at over an hour a trip. I’m in this chief for over $300 aswell 🤦🏻♂️.
I just wanted a decent one to keep at home for occasional use. Guess I should’ve just retired my Mac and bought a new one for the shop.
The other thing that nobody puts enough emphasis on is that trigger. You don’t appreciate that better trigger design until you don’t have it anymore. The extra finesse of the Mac trigger makes it worth double the chief all day! All that power doesn’t mean shit if you can’t aim it/control it.
I’m not a tool truck fan boy, which is why I gave the chief a chance. There’s a lot of products on the trucks that are just rebranded. This……is not one of those!!!
Mac uses a geissele trigger.🤣🤣
This got you a subscription
Question is there an electric equivalent of it and it also not be extremely expensive
I work on concrete mixers and I’ve used in of these air hammer and it does pack a punch but he undersells how terrible the trigger is it’s all or nothing with this thing it’s less of a trigger and more of an on off switch
Bruh this guy has to probably work at harbor freight
THIS AIRHAMMER TRIGGER IS A LIGHT SWITCH. ON OR OFF. NO GOOD FOR WALKING BOLTS OUT
Buy the $14 one unless you use an air hammer a lot.
It’s not bad but I just ended up going with an Ingersoll Rand
Bro love these vide
I love their airbrush guns.
I have made Thou$and$ with them.
I have a brand new badger that I will never use.
People think HF tools are garbage but they are not.
