I made a BETTER IMPACT for Hercules

The Hercules compact impact wrench is not all that strong, the Hercules impact DRIVER however….has proven to be quite strong. We are going to attempt to convert the impact driver into an impact wrench to benefit the more compact design and gain more power.

I know this was a while ago but I think I know why it wasn't working at the end. The back plate needs to be installed to hold the back end of the motor rotor stable otherwise it rubs

You were absolutely correct. The enclosure for the gear boxes being damaged was also slightly getting in the way, I ended up getting a new one and made it work much better

you compaison at 1:06 is all I needed to know after watching countless videos on the 1/2" and me not being able to take my car tire nuts @120lbs/# off with it even though others can... love the 1/4", returned the 1/2" crap.

Definitely one of the worst compacts I’ve used. I have since found a much easier and better way to make this thing as well

@@Kaleb_RoSs you mention the dewalts ansil. I think I'll use adapters for now (might get better one if I break it) and wait for HF to get their act together for a real 1/2" or 3/8" wrench. a bigger motor version of the 1/4 would be so awsome for tougher jobs that don't require the ultra beast...

I have both of those. I was hoping harbor freight would make a 3/8" drive version of the driver. I kept breaking the 1/4" hex to 3/8" adapters but its actually a nice tool especially for the price.

I figured out today that the anvil from a dewalt dcf923 anvil works much better and is easier to convert with. I hope Hercules starts making something like this soon.

I've messaged harbor freight about the lack of power on their compact impacts a few times already but never heard back. I can't loosen lugs, I can barely loosen 14mm bolts and even then I might have to loosen them by hand first. The compact impacts are the only Hercules tools im disappointed by, and I own 85% of them. I mean how do you take a step backward by making you second gen tool even weaker than the first? When other companies do that it's because they're making sub-compact models (ridgid sub-compact, dewalt atomic, makita sub-compact) so thats understandable but to keep the same size and lose power is idiotic. Great job on the Frankenstein, I'm definitely going to look into it the next time I see a Hercules impact driver for $25 on offerup

@Kaleb_RoSs 4 ай бұрын

I agree 100% this is the only Hercules tool I got that has truly let me down, hence the decision to modify the driver.

My first 3/8 compact had awful bearing sound so warranty exchanged for another one, used the 2nd one on only two 12mm headed fasteners and the 2nd one created a bearing noise as well.. so my opinion of the compact impacts of Hercules has left bad taste in my mouth

Definitely, I like a lot of these newer brushless tools they have but the compact just isn’t good at all
