Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" kzfaq.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

After the first 5 minutes of chatter I fast forwarded to see what the "Big Secret" was...it's no secret, it's a whole video of endless chatter....Thank God I did not watch the entire video but the start and ending!!

The secret is to cut a tab off the Hercules battery to fit it into a Dewalt. Just saved you 20 minutes.

I got a lot of respect for Stanley not abusing the warranty, “ I’m not going to return something I’m goin to intentionally destroy”. Good for you Stanley, that type of character is severely lacking these days.

Those two were the customers I dreaded when I worked at a hardware store.

I been in harbor freight a million times and Everytime I go I'm in awe. And as cheap as they are I still can't afford everything I want

As someone who used to be a sales manager, I have nightmares about the times I've had to deal with a group customers like this. The worst is when they do something they think is funny (and boy do customer groups that act like this think they're funny and clever) and their whole group laughs and generally acts obnoxious the entire time and you're standing there just wanting to die wondering what went wrong in your life while waiting for them to leave so you can just go to your lunch, but they'll keep talking and laughing between each other and being obnoxious thinking they're so funny and they don't care that you have other customers or tasks to attend to and that your short staffed, and you know none of the questions they're asking or stuff that they want to know really matters anyway because they know exactly what they're there for and exactly what they're going to buy, they only use your answers as a source for more material to be obnoxious about, while subtly trying to quiz you to see if you know the answers on the product. I'm glad I'm not working retail at the moment. This s***** part is none of them will ever realize and will be oblivious to the fact that they were actually kind of disrespectful and inconsiderate to the sales manager at certain points throughout the interaction. The sales manager handled the entire thing like a champ and vanishes at the first opportunity.

Their return policy is outstanding, especially with hand tools and truly "no questions asked". I had a ratcheting breaker bar where the ratchet stopped working. Showed it to the cashier and, even without a receipt since it was a Pittsburgh brand (Harbor Freight store brand) he told me just to grab another off the shelf and head on my way. Couldn't have been any easier. Very impressive!

I couldn’t stand watching anymore more than a couple minutes. I just skipped to the comments. Thank you comments. 😀

I bought the Vulcan 220 welder almost 2 years ago. The cashier talked me into getting the extended warranty. 22 months later the machine started malfunctioning. I returned it. No questions asked. Got a brand new one and another 2 yr warranty. Cant beat that.

theses are the mins i wished i could get back in life

I had a guy in front of me once bring in literally a 20 year old electric saw that was broken and all he had to do is the the 13.99 protection fee and they let him get a brand new one. By far harbor freight has the best return policy next to Costco. Costco will take a broken 15 year old couch back and give you a new one as long as you have the receipt.

I absolutely get the replacement plan every time I purchase a tool from HarborFreight, it’s a no brainer especially for the abuse that us construction guys and gals put our tools through.

Harbor freight has a excellent return policy. Years ago I bought a Chicago electric miter saw. I was siding a log cabin. Big thick siding boards needed to be cut. I burn out a saw every day. Every morning they replaced it for 6 days. Eventually they refunded my money and politely asked me not to come back. But the point is the exchanged it every time. No questions asked.

I used the Drillmaster for 5 years in my apartment. Worked great for every day tasks. Don't hate. Now I have a brushless combo drill.

You just talk over the manager every time he tries to say something

Sales manager, "It's been done on the internet already" lol. Could have spent the rest of the day doing something useful.

A while back, Snapon sued Harbor Freight over their Daytona floor jack. Harbor Freight then revealed the fact that their jack was built in the same factory in Taiwan, by the same people using the same materials. HF then counter sued and Snapon dropped the case.

I bought one of those real cheap drills ($20)a few years ago. Not much torque even on the highest setting. They were $16 back then. Came with 1 battery and a charger. Good for drilling very soft metal or wood. On steel you could almost stop it if you bear down. Anyway came in handy on more than one occasion, especially installing a storm door. Great as a power screwdriver. The battery finally quit taking a charge. Since a replacement battery was more than a new set I just bought another drill motor with battery and charger on sale again. Ended up with 2 good drill motors with new battery and charger.

Hercules 20v batteries, although they look similar, DO NOT work on the Dewalt 20v tools. They both have 5 pin output but do not have the correct temperature sense lead in the right pin position to work.

"These are the Tools in Action guys. Who? The Tool in Action guys. Who?"

The Binford 3000 beats them all...& remember “If it doesn’t say Binford on it somebody else probably makes it”

Honestly, I have owned a couple Chicago Electric and pneumatic power tools and they really do work and hold up! In fact, I had a 4" angle grinder that I lent to my brother about 10 years ago, guess what, he still haves it and it works just fine!

Their replacement thing is great my son races go karts and one of the classes he runs is a stock predator class and when I bought his first motor the manager told me about the replacement and I told him what we were doing with it he said just drain the gas and oil and bring it back no questions asked and they have done it awesome little motors too

I expected an actual test of the tools, not a sales pitch for Harbor Freight.

Harbor freight has good tools for the most part. Any reasonable person knows this.

"I wouldn't have a problem buying one of these drills." That means he didn't buy one.

hey tim his name is Vince McMann. Ed McMan was Johnny Carson's co host.

I honestly had a switch flip in my brain when you said 5ah for $50. Thats ludicrous and as a "fix it" contractor as opposed to a "build it" contractor, It makes perfect sense to me as long as they have a strong lineup of other tools as well.

I bought a 9 speed milling machine from harbor freight a little over a year ago,.. and lots of people said it wouldn't last long cause it was from harbor freight ! But harbor freight only sold it , they are a distributor only , the milling maching was made by central machinery inc. A well known company for their quality . I still have the mill and haven't had any trouble with it at all. Its extremely ridged and accurate ! I wouldn't trade it for a bridgeport ! and I mean that.

Three guys walk in to a Harbor Freight and ask the cashier "Which is your best drill?" OMG!

You can cut out the plastic tab on those batteries and use them in a variety of brands. However, the battery cells inside are different so the cheaper batteries will use cheaper cells while brands like DeWalt and Milwaukee use Samsung and LG cells which are some of the best in the industry. Hopes this helps clarify the reason behind battery pricing (to an extent).

I work at harbor freight, never have turned down a return

18 minutes I’ll never get back.

The manager was a good guy and great attitude. Hope he still has a job after this video

They act the same way I acted the first day I got my Costco membership. Walking around picking everything up saying "holy cow this is only $XX". Now I smile when I see others doing that.

Halfway through when they got to talking about knockoff production manager walked away lol.

You know what 99% of people do know about H.F.? The drills come with batteries.

99% of the people didn't watch this to the end!! 😂

Damn that's a big Harbor Freight compared to my local one I go to.. 😎✌️

I love Harbor Freight. Most of their stuff is great stuff for the home owner or the person who cant afford the name brand stuff.....like the guys filming this...

Ok, back in 2005 I bought a ELECTRIC offset dill. I had it for 47 days and had used it quite a few times on various projects. I went to use it on the 47th day and the switch went out. It being relatively cheap I went back to get another. Just so happened a employee walk up to see if I needed help and I explained my problem. The employee was the store manager and ask me how long I had had my drill. I told him 47 days and I sorta laughed it off. The manager said all ELECTRIC tools had a store warranty for 30 days. But, since she had seen me in the store on numerous occasions she would swap another offset drill for free. SO, you want to get to know the MANAGERS in person so perhaps they’ll do the same for you. ( Me and about a dozen guys were constantly purchasing tools at this particular store for about 6 months while working in town on company projects). Just saying

Intentionally damaging the tool and then to go get a replacement is a totally scum move. Just my opinion. Glad you said no to the idea.

I did some research before buying a Predator generator. I got the 3500. Anyways, I found out China has huge factories where one location makes Generators for a bunch of brands. If 6 brands use the same engine, alternator and carb, those 6 different brands are built right next to each other to make component delivery more efficient. Apparently, most products are built this way nowadays. One factory may make 8 or 10 different brands of drills. Those that share the most components are closest to each other. The factory figures out the most efficient way to assemble all the different brands. If 2 brands look similar, I would assume they share most of their components and are assembled in the same factory. No doubt, some brands have their own factory but most don't. Most brands simply have their own assembly line within a large factory. Custom brand components are delivered to that line and shared components are delivered to all lines/brands that use that component.

I snapped a craftsman and kobalt ratchets changing the struts on a grand caravan 1 month ago. Went to Harbor Freight, bought the 2for $9.98 ratchets, got the job done. Bought a corded drill for $9 bucks 7 yrs ago, after dropping it, and beating it up, STILL kicking.

As a diy guy, Harbor Freight is awesome for that occasional tool you won’t use much but don’t want to pay a fortune for. With that being said, they have a ton of stuff for the person on a budget.

One of the cleanest stores that me and Mt husband has ever witnessed. Hands down very very impressed with the Harbor Freight store. Very well kept. Very professional staff.

Larry, Moe, and Currley.

Have the Bauer impact and love it alot of power battery last along time, and we run 4in screws, metal tappers runs them like a champ, snap screws too. For the price and power its awesome

“GMC and Chevy are made in the same plant “. They’re both made by GM...

It's good to see the mentally challenged going out and experiencing the world. Sure they're in group, but look at the big ol' smiles on their faces over the simplest of things. Ignorance is bliss. God bless their caretakers for taking the time to take them out and enjoy themselves outside of their facility. Truly heart-warming.

comment section is either USA : GOD BLESS HARBOR FREIGHT canadians : ohhhh princess auto

"Do you know much about these tools?" He took that personally.

Saw your review of tools. I worked for a septic company 15 years.I used only Friskers shovels with fiberglass handles. Alway found electric was purpose of fiberglass. I broke 3 over the years digging and they replaced all

Rotary Hammer for $100. Makes you wonder what the manufacturing cost of our favorite tool really is (Makita fanboy here).

I still have and use my black and decker drill from 1978. Plug it in works every time

Going to store to buy dramamine, and then I'll watch the last 17:30 of this video.

I can say have more than several HF tools with the oldest being a parts washer that is over 25 years old and still going, my latest purchase being a 29gal 2hp 150 psi vertical air compressor in Dec of 2019 and at no time was I ever offered an in store replacement warranty. Thanks for this information as I will definitely inquire with my next purchase.

Stanley, you lucky bugger. I wish I had a Harbor Freight store near me. There's always online but nothing like touchy-feely.

Hell yeah. I just purchased the McGraw 21 gallon oil less air compressor and opted for the 1 year warranty. I'm happy with it!

I've had that $19 drill for almost 10 years now. Works great for almost everything I've needed it to do.

Those types of warranties can be crazy good. It's worth evaluating the product you're buying and the cost at the time, but it can pay off HUGE. Back in the 90s when I worked at Radio Shack $10 would get you a 2 year replacement warranty on any item under 50 dollars. So if you were a kid buying 20 dollar earbuds, would you want to spend another 50% on a warranty? Hell yeah. We had a kid who would come in every week or so and swap out his earbuds because the wires would give out from whipping around while he did his runs. He easily got 30-50 pairs off that initial $30 cost :)

Great video brother keep up the awesome work god bless you and your family

Bauer is a clone of PowerPlus, a UK Brand of power tools. Pretty damn good stuff for the money perfect for a home gamer. I am no longer ashamed to buy tools from Harbor, their stuff has increased in quality a lot. I currently use the Pittsburg brand of tools for work as an auto tech.. just as good as the tool trucks

I have one of their cement mixers and one of their plate compactors. The compactor runs really well and works awesome for prepping for a small pad and it is nice and compact for stuff like prepping a walkway for pavers. The mixer works great mixing bags of concrete for tubes or small pads for genarators and stair landings and stuff. The predator engines run really well too, can't beat em for the money. I've even put them on snow blowers, just opened up the main jet a tiny bit to richen it up for the cold weather.

And who can remember buying mail order from their old catalogs and writing a check.. and waiting 3-4 weeks for whatever thing ordered to come in the mail

Why is it when watching these three I'm reminded of reading about teenage boy drivers. A teen boy with an average IQ drives ok - maybe. Add another teenager and the driver's IQ drops by half. Add a third and the driver's IQ is halved again...

I use harbor freight generators, concrete breaker, rotary hammer, saw zalls. They get the job done, the warranties are awesome, and we can wreck em and return them for pennies. Also, they’re bits are good, but hilti or Milwaukee make longer lasting bits.

I've used Harbor Freight for years. I love the replacement purchase. And they honor it. No questions asked.

Don't knock that $20 Drill Master I bought one 5yrs ago use it every day no problems

I don't know of any places.. but just watching your video put me in a better mood after being treated the way I was by my brother.. thank you for putting a smile on my face today.. keep up the awesome work Stanley and Crew..

Hey we all know the real og tool man aka Tim the tool man lol.

Harbor Freight has flipped the tool world affordability and pleasure of buying tools, - upside down!!! Harbor Freight is the bomb!

The $169 10.5 Amp Rotary Hammer is AWESOME! I don't think there is a better value for that type of tool anywhere.

My step-father bought a Hercules impact gun The thing stays charged even after taking off and back on multiple lug nuts! It's crazy good for the price! I'm a heavy industrial machine mechanic for the union, and I went to Harbor Freight and bought every single tool that I needed. Besides my ratchet wrenches they are from gearwrench.

Your Harbor freight location is huge!

I bought a generator from harbor freight and people said it wouldn’t last 6 months and I have had it for 10 years and it works great

I bought a tile saw from harbor freight. Broke the tub where the water is held. Went into harbor freight to order a new one and they gave me a completely new saw because I bought the extended warranty.

Harbor freight is my TOY's"R"US. My wife frowns because I always stop by to see whats new.

20 minutes watching these guys shop. The first 10 minutes is worthless, I couldn’t watch the rest.

I bought an electric water pump from Harbor Freight but that thing is not working so I wanted to exchange it for something else. Instead, they asked me to keep it and bring back the receipt for a proof. Simple as that. I didn't buy anything on spot because I changed my mind about using electric water pumps. They are simply too slow and I already owned 3 of them including the inoperable one. In the end, I bought the largest gas powered full-trash water pump by Predator for only $674.99 with a coupon. Current price at the moment is $849.99. Harbor Freight is simply awesome.

The charge and discharge parameters (Battery management Cards in the battery packs) for Li-ion battery packs are pretty much standard. Any DC motor that draws current from a battery doesn't care what the name on the battery case says. They're so very identical the tool doesn't care and the casing is just plastic packaging. Li-ion 18650 batteries are the key and common element inside. I removed a battery from it's original case, swapped it into another case and it charges and discharges no differently. I now have my second/backup battery replaced for my mower for half the price of the rare and almost unavailable and not manufactured battery pack. Kinda need it for my mutli-head unit; line trimmer, chain saw and hedge trimmer attachments, plus my lawn mower and leaf blower too. The quality of the Lithium Ion batteries used in some models may be a bit superior, but that's a premium/pricing issue only. The polarity of the connections are pretty standardized for connections to most chargers at a set voltage, 20 V is 20 Volts, 82 V is still 82 Volts. But IF it were an APPLE product... OMG, it would be SO totally different that THEY would never be standardized or compatible with anything else and the premium would be a status symbol only... like most Apple products

I have a TON of HF stuff. Because I've had GREAT luck with everything except one item. The only thing that sucked that didnt work was their compression tester. Junk. But it could have been that one unit. I built their super duty 4x8 trailer and it's an excellent trailer. Also own a predator generator that I've had for 7yrs and it still works great. I also own their Snap on knock off "Daytona " jack and it is a fantastic jack, it's a snap on but yellow in color. I have their paddle style angle grinder and have put it through hell and it still works. I have plenty of their tool bags, the blue Hercules bags are as good as the nice husky bags from Home depot. I also have their big 301pc mechanics tool set, works perfect. Also have plenty of their other wrenches and best ratchets. 72 tooth etc all good. Their AC manifold set and vacuum pump worked perfect as well. Same with their cheap 10.00 heat gun. I even have their blood pressure wrist cuff lol been working for years

I was working on a bathroom rebuild job use 24x24 marble tile We got the HF bridge tile saw and it was not cutting strait called HF corp HQ had to deal with typical call center rep but once I got the call transfered to they tech support in South carolina the Tech Guy was great

They're trying so hard to get a "omg you're the dudes from KZfaq" reaction from the Harbor Frieght employee hahaha

Harbor Freight's warranty really is awesome. If you buy a small air compressor for $50 with the warranty to try. Then you want a larger one you can bring back the mall one and put the price of the small one ($50) towards the bigger one. So if the bigger one is $100 you only pay $50 if you bring back the smaller ($50) one. Even if the smaller one is broken. It's crazy.

I’ve used there demo drills. For the price they rock !!!

No secret revelation in this video. Bought a Her 4.5 angle grinder for $40 because I was in the store and needed a backup. Tool is flawless. (At my HF they do not accept 20% coupons on Her or Bauer). But at Home Depot I was able to buy a 2 pack DeWalt 4.5 grinders for $99. So while I do buy a lot of stuff at HF you still have compare to the big names.

Gentlemen and ladies Hercules is a another breed. I just bought there mitre saw and it is as good if not better than dewalt for roughly 200 dollars less and 80 dollars for a 2 year warranty bring back no questions asked is unbeatable. No packing up and shipping or waiting for weeks for a repair. Don’t let the name harbor freight fool you. They are making an honest attempt to move into the prosumer market.

Regardless of the design, you can use any battery with most any other tool. Just buy either complete and ready to go 3d printed adapters online to use any battery with any other tool, or make one yourself from a deceased battery shell to fit in the tool itself and a 3d printed receptacle for the battery you are powering from. All 18v and 20v claimed tools are all 18v and use the same voltages. I have even made an adapter to use my milwaukee 18v batteries on an older 19.2 nicad porter cable tools and it works great even as the battery gets down to the bottom of its charge.

I love, love,love harbor freight! I a home owner and can buy things cheeper than I can rent them . And great prices on tools you are going to use once or twice a year. It wouldn't be worth getting the comparable tools from big name places. I am almost never disappointed in there tools.

Harbor freight tools are the only ones I get!!! Forget any big box store for tools!

I have bought almost all of the Bauer line of cordless tools. Most of them I've had for 3 + years and have not had a single problem yet. Well worth buying.

I stand by Hercules products 110% they have come such a long way they bumped up their warrantee to 5yrs in the tool 3yrs on batteries I bought the big boy "ultra torque" impact and that thing is a beast I went back for the brushless hammer drill sawsall and little impact with 2 5ah and a 4ah batteries. If you put on a blindfold and put a DeWalt/Milwaukee/mikita in one hand and Hercules in the other they would be indistinguishable as far as build quality. Same with the batteries they are well built and seem to last forever. I will put my arsenal of Hercules tools & batreries up against the same line up of ANY other brand

Drillmaster is a good drill it's just nicad and will over charge

From what i understand is dewalt is the comparison to the Hercules, the new miter saw is spot ON. Also the admiral miter saw works great! I use it and i love it for DIY home owner stuff!

I had bought a Chicago electric low speed high torque drill, broke the chuck on three of them, and finished the job with the fourth. Still have it and it still works!

Harbor Freight is an addiction, it's the man's version of a Coach store

I remember watching a video of the tool bear where Harbor Freight sent him a Hercules miter saw stand to compare it against a DeWalt. Harbor Freight sent the Lesser model of the DeWalt instead of one that was comfortable that was pretty cheap. They must be afraid to go head-to-head with the same Quality Tool instead of something cheaper go figure
