Harbor Freight was never known for professional grade tools, but things look as if they are changing. I was asked to test the Harbor Freight Hercules Impact Wrench including the Ultra Torque Impact Wrench, and this is what happened

    Clint, the man, the legend testing tools. We love your channel and appreciate the online demonstrations. These videos are exactly what us YouTube viewers want to see, an honest unbiased evaluation. It helps us make purchasing decisions and gives feedback to the manufacturer. Thank you brother... 👍

    Having used, and been around hand tools and power tools, since I was about seven years old, and I'm now about 72, I can tell you personally, manufacturers have learned over the years, not to make outlandish claims, especially in the new landscape of instant gratification social media commentary, where your claims can be checked out, within 30 seconds! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺ LOVE Harbor Freight BTW! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺ P.S. IF it were not for Harbor Freight, a lot of mechanics, and construction trade people, would not have been able to afford start their businesses, and be where they are today! Think about that! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
  • This is how their warranty works. Will take this Hercules Ultra 5yr warranty (also applies to their 3yr battery warranty) & any of their purchased warranties, from the date of purchase the 5yr warranty starts., that means that during those 5 yrs if your Hercules dies/breaks, you can exchange it for a new one AS MANY TIMES possible WITHIN THE 5YR PERIOD untill that 5 year date period expires! With other brands it's a "one time replacement" only policy but not with HF! 😁

    The only problem with HF is that ,when I leave there, I smell like a cheap rubber hose! Their stuff works fine for my needs and they do live up to their guarantees.
  • The raining on your Tool flowers was just hilarious 😆 🤣 Clint @Tool Review Zone
  • Wow I am so glad I watched your Channel I was looking at those the other night and was questioning myself about them you proved it to me very happy with your video thank you I am going to show my friends your video that way they could tune in I was impressed with you pouring water on them
  • Harbor Freight is fantastic for hand tools and selected consumables as well.
  • 1.5 hours for a 12ah battery? That’s awesome! That’s an 8 amp charger. The Milwaukee rapid charger is 6 amps. Not slow at all.
  • Thanks for the video, been thinking about getting one for home use but hated spending the big money on the big (but good) names, so after seeing your video this might be for me.

    I have the Bauer 8.5 Amp 1/2 in. Impact Wrench with Rocker Switch, the corded model. I really like it. It has never failed to loosen any nut or bolt that needed it. I also have the Bauer 20V Cordless 1/2 in. Impact Wrench, but that is rated at 450 ft-lbs max, and I use it on wheel bolts and such.
  • @SHSPVR
    You got that right this is a great cordless impact I have the ultra torque and 5 amp battery I was so impressed I went and got the smaller brushless 3/8 drive cordless impact
  • @ponyboy481
    Good review you help me decide on getting one soon
  • Have you seen what they have been up to lately! Since the death of Sears they really have upped their game! The Icon line up of ratchets, sockets, and so on, are really quality products. I am a technician I have a Icon 1/2 ratchet I use for block heater recalls several times a week! I think Harbor Freight should bring out a tool truck and call it Icon tools a visit all the professional shop just like, Snap on, Mac, Matco, and Cornwell They could be a very good competitor with the Icon line!
  • @mikeevans565
    Clint, you need to put this head to head with the DCF900 Dewalt!!
  • Just got the Hercules Ultra torque impact driver for $150 with the 8 amp battery (heavy) $70 + charger and what a nice deal! Working on my full BMW 5 high performance suspension it gets the job done with ease where my Milwaukee Stubby impact driver had limitations with some heavy duty bolts! Im keeping my Hercules Ultra cause it served me well... 👍
  • @SouthFLTools
    We’re all jealous. The weather in Youngstown, OH looks fantastic! You’re a beast cuz and awesome video! 👊
  • @Snafu2346
    I appreciate the video, I'm new to powered tools and I was told it would be highly recommended if I'm going to work on some suspension components on my vehicle and I've been trying to look on videos on more information on them.
  • Great review! Yeah Harbor freight is uping their game, especially with their Hurcules and Bauer lines. I have the Bauer orbital sander and it performs just as well as my DeWalt. No, really. Currently it is on sale for 20 bucks... basically the price of a decent meal. BTW... Just take those worn out sockets back to HF, they will replace them free of charge. No receipt needed. Pretty cool.
