Walmart acting like harbor freight pricing themselves out of their own market

That tool section for Walmart looks amazing. My Walmart's look NOTHING like that.

This is my level for most of the things I do . My tool colors are orange , red (Wal-mart) and one 1/2 inch blue . The older I get the less I care about impressing anyone with brands . Excellent video .

HART: "It's Ryobi but with a better battery." Yup, sounds about.... completely spot-on!

Bear you killed it again… I use the hyper tuff pry bars professionally and they are worth every penny also the automotive clip removal tool is excellent as well

My Walmart’s tool section is behind plexiglass. The entire section including cheap Hyper Tough hand tools and I live in a nice area.

What's exciting at Walmart? WalMartians.

Those prybars are Wild... i mean Wilde.

Thanks very much for the Walmart tool tour Jeff. I've never looked for tools there, but maybe I should start. Take a look anyway. You and your family have a great and safe week ahead! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Im just glad hart and hyper tough can work threw there issues now they know they are brothers.... such a great camping trip.

I bought a Hyper Tough 18v Cordless Drill about 4-5 years ago. It introduced me to the world of cordless tools. I've moved on to buy into the Skil 12v and Makita line tools. The Hyper Tough drill still works fine. I use it all the time for light use, as it does complain and is a bit slow and wimpy on the heavier tasks. I paid less than the $20 (with charger and battery), so I got more than my money's worth.

That small 12v drill with adjustable clutch is awesome!! I use it for fixing vacuum cleaners, electric leaf blowers and etc. I definitely love the clutch and I got it for $19!!

HART line is great for DYI. They need to find their place with price. Lots of price variation and some prices way too high.

I know mechanic that absolutely loves the hypertough extended ratchet

I picked up a used Hyper Tough hammer drill about a month ago. It's adequate when used with hex shank bits, but otherwise, the chuck is pretty close to useless on smaller bits. It has a bunch of clutch settings, but the chuck will let go long before you invoke the clutch. Still, for dirt cheap, it's better than I expected.

I have most of the hyper tough 12 volt tools. I haven't had an issue with any of them yet 1 year.

I have to say I bought a couple of the Heart Shelving systems (plastic) and there great for the garage for simple storage!

I do Audio/Video work and carry basic hand tools and AV adapters and converters. I use the Hart Rolling Locking system for my "Work Box". The 2 drawer cases are surprising sold and price to expand for other cases is good.

The Hart line has really expanded. I have their 5 gallon shop vac and have been pleased with it

I was REALLY excited when hyper tough dropped the half inch impact wrench

I still have and use my battert operated Hart weed whacker and leaf blower. They have held up well over time. Whenever those go out, I'll continue with Bauer since I have already switched over my other tools from Ryobi.

I have the hyper tough osculating saw. I paid $15 for it years ago at Walmart. Still works great.

The bins and shelving systems are made in Jefferson City, Mo or in the Ohio plant, I believe in Sycamore, by American Plastics. The Craftsman bins as well as the yellow lid bins at Lowe’s, Walmart and Sam’s are all made by American Plastics. I’ve loaded thousands of those things lol.

I switched from 20v black n Decker to hart. Been happy with the tools they are more robust. Had Milwaukee 12v system and was solid but underpowered for projects I got involved in. Best time to buy hart is in December.

Your Hart prices seem to be double what I have local. And my store seems to be phasing out their hyper tough line. Plus the Ollie’s in town has had Hart items in stock lately.

I heard rumors the HyperTough prybars are re-labeled Mayhew prybars… everyone re-labels their prybars.

I haven't bought any hand tools(wrench's,pry-bars,etc) from Walmart but I like their magnetic pickup tools,parts trays,and socket rails. I always find them on sale at my Walmart and i think they are a good thing to pickup for the price

I actually just bought some 40v Hart OPE stuff on clearance at my nearest store (there’s four). An attachment-capable string trimmer kit with 4ah battery for $75 and the tiller attachment for $30. The prices and selection vary wildly even among the local stores.

I also noticed that too a a few years ago, when Walmart began to sell Hart stuff & that the Hart pricing was relatively too high compared to other brand-name tools. I would rather just go buy cheaper alternatives. I don't care if Hart products are better quality, which I don't really know, but since I know how to repair tools, I would rather buy something cheaper & repair or modify it to make it better if it breaks down, of which I haven't really had any big issues with other brands. I haven't really noticed the prices on HyperTough, but it was the Hart high prices that stood out for me when I've perused the Walmart tool section. Luckily there is a small Mom&Pop type store in my town that is sort of like a mini-Walmart that combines tools & food, where their prices are lower than Walmart & Lowes/HomeDepot, although they do not have everything, so you just have to look around to see if they have what you are looking for & if you find it, the prices are probably cheaper. 04/06/24

I absolutely but some Hart and Hyper Tough items for one off uses or something I don't need "higher Quality" in. No power tools though it's all just hand tools and other small stuff. It's not often but I do it.

hit a hart clearance at my local wally not to long ago, 40 bucks for brush cutter and cultivator attachments for string trimmer

Those Hart adjustable wrenches aren't bad at all, I have three in various sizes and they work pretty good. They're priced decently too.

Your man cub is now a bear. Good photo at the end.

Those wrenches were the coolest thing there.

I always recommend either Lowe’s or The Home Depot be patronized by veterans. Lowe’s & The Home Depot give vets a 10% discount. Ryobi,, Craftsman & Dewalt all have great cordless tools.

Not a fan of 'returns or exchanges' at Walmart. Give me HF anyday!!! Better selection, seems like the atmosphere is so much better at HF.

Brought a 20 dollar mechanic set just to throw in the trunk, you never know 🤷‍♂️

I use some of those hyper tough 12v tools. I use the standard ratchet for oil changes at home and sometimes at my work and it gets the job done even though it’s slow. I also have the router which is meh. The rotary tool is decent.

The suits must be running things now. Not long ago i began seeing a lot of Hart stuff out at the Swap Shop.

About the only thing I think worth buying specially hyper tough related is their small parts organizers. They're two for $13 and they hook together and you can stack as many as you want. I use them for screws, wire connectors and other small stuff and they live in the bed of my truck. So far the water seals have worked even when my bed was full of water after a heavy rain for six months. The real test will be how they handle the Texas summer which can turn plastic into so soft you could mold it or so brittle it breaks looking at it.

You’d be hard pressed to find any Hart stuff at the local Wally Worlds around here. And the Hypertough is about 10 feet of an aisle. And I was wondering not long ago if WM and Hart had parted company, since I’m finding more and more Hart stuff at Ollie’s.

I have that long reach Hyper Tough ratchet. It's not my go-to (that's my 12V Milwaukee) but I'll tell ya, it works like it should, gets me in and out on tough spots. I'd like the charger and another battery but I'm cheap. That short recip saw looks like a win for the occasional use. Walmart has increased a lot of prices everywhere in the store and by significant amounts. n It goes to figure the Hart stuff would get expensive.

Hyper Tough sockets and ratchet are in one of my trucks. Not bad tools. I bought the US made pry bar. Its a stout unit.

Finishing out our basement in our new house, I love Hyper Tough for what it is.. I mean I got a sledge hammer for $6 and it's fiberglass too. Otherwise historically I had a Hart brand hammer drill that I felt was overpriced and wasn't really that good compared to my HFT Bauer tools which have done most of the project without so much as a hiccup. I think the main thing with these cheaper tools is they give you a great tool basically at a loss, but they then make up for it with the batteries since the batteries are generally more than the cost of the tool itself.

Good video 👍

I was at one of my local Walmart's debating if I wanted the hart modular tool box system for the drawers and parts trays or the Bauer at HFT and hope that they decide to make adrawer system or that I find one in Master forge that I could use.

I got into the hart line thinking that everything would be staying relatively The same price in terms of batteries and equipment. I've been a little bit disappointed, but i've used the brushless 20v Pressure washer to clean about 300 Sets of trash bins. I thoroughly enjoy that little piece of equipment

Nice product selection but the prices are way too high. I'll stick with HF Hercules as they are better tools for the price.

That is the problem with Walmart, wrong stuff on the wrong priced shelf, go bring that to a worker's attention and you'll get, "The prices wrong on the shelves aren't my job" shit.

It looked like the Hart reciprocating saw was like about twice as expensive as a Bauer one for example or even double a Hercules price if I'm not mistaken?

Hart was a good deal when they came out. I bought the biggest number of cordless tools they had in kit. For the price and the time no one could beat it. They are good tools I have used and abused them and all holding up fine. With their current prices and no new tool releases they are getting beat buy all the other companies.

Bought most of the power tools in past four years for projects around the farm. My only complaint is finding the deals when I have extra cash. Only buy it when you can get a deal. Think I spent around 300 for drill, driver, saw, saws all, grinder, search light, orbital sander, 3 4ah and 4 2ah batteries.

A week and a half ago I bought (2) Hyper Tough Heavy Duty Steel Hose Reel - 3/8 in x 50 ft Rubber Air Hose for $36.50 USD each. I hung one in my garage yesterday and the other I will hang in my work shop. they are very heavy which I mounted one on a 2x10 and I'm very pleased with the quality and the price.

Kinda unrelated, but Evercraft tools at Napa have been discontinued. Most are 50% off. Have any inside connections that may shed some light on the future of the “Lifetime warranty” Heard they are switching to performance tool. Keep up the good work, love the videos.

I have got very lucky with hart tools I always get them on clearance for the low low and they are actually not bad

I’ve had all 3 lines. Hart, hyper tough 12v and 20v. I didn’t like how expensive hart was. It should be a little cheaper to be a better value. I ended up selling out of the line. The hyper tough 12v is great. Better than the 20v. But doesn’t have the tool selection of the 20v line. The 20v line is under powered. I think it’s due to the batteries being low quality. But it’s been a good line. You’ll definitely need a 4ah battery to use the circ saw.

I just got the hart pack out style starter rolling box 3 pc kit for 90 I'm liking it so far going to add the 2 drawer box soon I know it's not too of the line but if it works and it's cheaper then Bauer 3 pc stach

I have the hyper tough tool bag for work and soo far so good

We use Hart Impact Wrenches out in the field- affordable, work fine, and won't kill you if they get lost

At those prices, I rather go to HF and spend a bit more and get 5 years tool and 3 years battery warranty

Havent walked thru any of my local/near to me Walmarts too as they are all locked up. But, I do have some of the hyper thought 12 volt line. The 3/8 brushless impact is a little beast. I have the oscillating tool and bought the mini palm router as well. All good quality tools for the price. And the batteries are fairly priced too.

Not a very well geared up with power tools just the basics Craftsman mainly, however extremely impressed with Hyper Tough 20' with battery chainsaw on sale $50...was able to get plenty of work done on some sizeable branches and trees...it was well worth the investment and still works!

I dont buy Hart power tools but do use a larger sized drill \ driver\ bit set of theirs. Its been pretty good for me. Ill buy Hart and Hyper tough when its a great deal. I agree with you not worth it at full retail. Tip for those who read to the end, you can get 50 utility blades in that aisle for under $6. THAT is a worthwhile buy for sure.

WM has that appealing return policy, but where they really fall short is on tool storage and organization, which is pretty strange for them. If you're working in a shop, you probably aren't buying sockets from WM, so they might as well come up with a good travel solution. If the big stores are moving away from blow molded cases, they should distinguish themselves by moving back.

You actually have a Wal Mart where all the stuff isn't locked in cabinets and you can read the backs of the boxes? Sweet!

I might try out that 12 volt long reach rachet im a Dewalt XR guy but i dont think i wanna shell 200+ for Dewalts rachet

No problems springing for hypertough or hart on hand tools, but on power tools i'd probably either go to harbor freight or save up for the next level up.

4:30 Hart 3100psi gas pressure washer was $157 from $368 at a local Walmart. But I believe the promo was select Walmarts. I went to two other Walmarts, in different cities, and they were regular price.

For people without a Harbor Freight around them, Hyper Tough is a great option for disposable power tools.

Are the hypertuff 12v tools the same battery as the AC Delco and old Earthquake ratchet?

The tool selection there is VASTLY better than at Walmart ("Supercenter")near me. As for Hart, I have been very happy with their vacuums. Hand vacs, small portable and trying out the Gen2 stick. Also nice LED spotlight. Tools I am not so sure about. Don't need anything now, happy with DeWalt and HFT.

What's up is that the Hyper tough line offers some rebranded high quality American made WILDE pry bars, while HART is a shamelessly used name that once belonged to the best manufacturer of California framing hammers. They also replaced every American made Channellock, and V&B / Dasco tool with crappy imported HART brand knockoffs. Without them Walmart would still sell Channellock pliers, Vaughan & Bushnell hammers, and Dasco pro pry bars. I can't stand the HART brand.

I need a screw hex bit and the hyper tuff had biggest magnet.

I tried the 6pc precision screwdriver set from hart and it sucks. The 2 Philips drivers doesnt fit anything ive needed to remove. It has a #0 and a #00 tip. Needs a #1 tip.

Those prices are fine, have you actually looked in a Home Depot lately?

I have Hart's 10-gallon vacuum cleaner and the 2000 psi electric pressure washer, and I like them both. They are well-made products. I also have the HyperTough 20v line - circular saw, recip saw, a couple drills, an impact driver, a leaf blower and a string trimmer. Are they great? No. Have they lasted for 4+ years of light/moderate DIY use? Yes. I also have an assortment of HT hand tools and would say the same about them. For somebody on a budget, and with a Walmart nearby, they can get the job done.

I cant say much about Hart as I dont have any of there stuff. But it seems to me that Harbor Freights prices are better. Ive even found better deals on some of the Lowes Kobalt tools. One thing to consider with a lot of these tools too is how strong are they for the price your paying? From what Ive seen a lot of the Hart stuff seems to be priced higher for tools that arent as strong as other brands.

They just built locking display cases for the power tools at my Wal mart

The best thing HART has is the tool storage stack for 70$. Sure I like & would prefer the big boys. But even the Ryobi link system is like 2 or 3 times as expensive .

They seem to be moving out Hart tools in my stores and replacing with Hyper Tough.

Clearance and sale prices are the way to go. Hyper tough the lawn equipment takes the same battery which is cool. My complete set under 500 dollars and I can mow trim and blow. Can not do it with harbor frieght.

i bought a hart drill, impact wrench and the vacuum. the battery on the vacuum is the 4ah and will no longer charge. i hate the price of the batteries since i need a new 1. the 2ah for the drill does not last long cleaning

I got in the Hart 20 volt line about 2 years ago. They have good stuff, but honestly, for the amount I use some certain tools, I’ve been going across the street to Harbor Freight and getting Warrior or Bauer corded tools. I really like my Hart drill and driver, I easily use those two the most frequently. Last summer I switched to a Hart 20 volt string trimmer with good results from a Craftsman 2 stroke that was only lasting a season or two and I’ve really fallen in love with the Hart 18 gauge nailer. I just have a hard time justifying getting a $70 Hart 20v angle grinder or multi tool when HF has the Bauer corded 7 amp grinder on sale for $19.99 and the Warrior 2 amp multi tool on coupon for $15.00 and I’m only going to rarely have a need for those for my DIY projects. I may bump up to a Bauer multi tool though, I’ve been discovering new uses for that versatile piece of equipment and the Bauer 3 amp version may be worth it. I’m a mix of Hart battery powered tools for my most common needs and Warrior and Bauer corded tools for the less often used tools and corded Sun Joe trimmers and saws for my outdoor bush and tree trimming as I have a lot of work out there and I don’t think battery tools would cut it for me. That’s what works for me. Always look forward to the videos, have a great rest of the weekend everyone.

That Walmart has a much more comprehensive tool selection and is much better organized than my Walmart in south central PA. And my Walmart has to be one of the messiest too.

I bought into the Hart eco system when they went on clearance after the introduction. I like mine but realize that they are weak compared to the 'pro' brands.

Definitely depends on where you go

The Hypertough tool cabinet is a rebranded Crafstman Evolv cabinet. I know because i have one. Its been great. No complaints. Just an observation.

Our Walmarts out hear don’t have half of that stuff. I’m jealous lol.

When Hart runs their promo like the 2 4Ah batteries and tool for $99 it's hard to beat. I have a bunch of Hart support tools like the lights and vacuum (1 and 2 Gallon version) and surprisingly the compressor. They all work great for the use. My main tool are Milwaukee mostly and a few Makita. Full price on these your better off with the other brands.

Tubs should be a 5 or 6 dollar item. Maybe 10 for something extra rugged or seals better.

Is that the Bozeman or Billings Walmart?

That's crazy your Walmart is stocked and not locked down

They have tubs just like that at Home Depot for less than $20.

I agree that hart is a good homeowner starter set but the price on the batteries is not much cheaper than DeWalt and Milwaukee

The problem is that they don't have enough 20V brushless tools.

If you got a harbor freight near by I would go with them over Walmart

Ok... I got the hart 20v vacuum and... it's pretty tight.

Looks simple to me, they're adopting the latest fast food business model By charging twice as much for half of the original value meal...

Love the Hyper Tough socket rails!!!

nothing behind glass? or a lock? only in California
