I really like Harbor Freight more and more. When I was a kid, I only knew them for selling terrible tools that were cheap but just not worth buying. Now days, they do cost a little more but the quality is phenomenal for the price you pay.

@Derek's Workshop and Projects I never grew up with a harbor freight. When the sears closed in my town, Harbor Freight moved in. With inflation, I had a hard time justifying some of the prices at lowes or Home Depot. I gave harbor freight a shot, and I love what they have to offer. I even switched from Hart to bauer.

Well when I was a kid the closest store was a 3 hour drive away in the Phoenix area but we drove down there enough that my dad shopped frequently. Now they have one an hour away from me (half hour from my home town).

@Derek's Workshop and Projects I'm lucky mines 15 min away lol I just built a book case and I wanted a starter router so I picked up the drillmaster 1/4 router for $22 and a hercules bit for $11. For under $35 with tax I was able to get my bookcase completed and how I wanted it.

I’d like to get the cordless miter saw too. It’s not as good as a corded vacuum, keep that in mind. But it is a good vacuum for what it is and it’s extremely convenient. Thanks for watching/commenting.

How was it?

@@dannyzamora907 It actually works very well, I just used it to vacuum the car yesterday.

How do you modify to ru. Dewalt batteries?

It’s not a bad vacuum at all.

The really, in my opinion, should have made the batteries compatible between the two lines. I don’t know. Maybe less money in sales if they did that, but seems like it would have been a better solution for the customer.

@@DereksWorkshopAndProjects I agree. It was a hard decision on which battery line to invest in, and when I did a couple years ago the offerings were pretty similar, now Bauer has considerably more options. The bean counters might think having them all use the same battery would cut into their sales, but I think the opposite is actually true. If the Bauer and Hercules took the same battery I’d buy a ton more tools. Hell I would probably even have some doubled up, like an impact driver for me (Hercules) and a Bauer for the wife and kids when they want to use a tool.

I think I mentioned it in the video. Id love to check it out against the Ryobi.

Check direct tools. They have refurbished and “blemish” Ryobi and Rigid stuff you could get a deal on for comparing.

Get the chainsaw. Better value.

That’s what it’s all about. Convenient for sure. Great at that!

I don’t use it a ton but I did just vacuum out my truck a week ago and it still works great. I break it out a couple times a month probably.

Interesting idea. I don’t usually think “I wish this thing had a bag” when it comes to wet dry vacs but that might the handy.

For wet vac, you remove the filter. It has a float switch to cut it off in wet mode.

What?

I used my 5ah for about 5min and it still showed full battery. 5ah will probably last at least 20min straight.
