Full Disclosure, I do not work for Harbor Freight and all opinions in this video are of my own. I try to do honest reviews to the best of my ability! If you find any errors in this recording please comment down below. I did reach out to Harbor Freight as I do with a lot of venders and asked for the Hercules backpack. Harbor Freight did provide it free of charge and I chose to share it with you, my viewers! Harbor Freight has not paid me to do this video!

I just purchased one of these tool backpacks Hercules and it’s nice and beefy with weight and stiffness that’s needed in all the right spots. I am very happy with mine and am even considering a second one for even more tool storage in the future. My harbor freight only had one tool bag in stock at the time I purchased mine and with the supply chain issues who knows when they will restock.

Might swing by harbor freight and pick up the herk! I have the Klein backpack it’s similiar to the Bauer and always fall over and very tight space cannot fit my drill or impact the herk looks bigger and bulkier so hoping it shouldn’t have that problem

Needed a tool bag for my car, and went with the Hercules. A bit pricey, but I used one of the 25% coupons. I like it a lot so far.

Thumbs up! Great review of those tool bags. I'm always interested in Harbor Freight tool reviews.

[outfitsgarage]

Great review. Very well presented. Convinced me to go look at one myself

If Milwaukee and Walmart made a backpack, it would be the Hercules. This bag has so much potential in the design and engineering behind it's durability. However it's constructed as if made in a Walmart sweatshop. But I still shop at Walmart. And I still bought this bag. Only time will tell if the many frayed seams hold up.

Awesome review. I was just lugging my toolbox across a parking lot, up a flight of stairs and back down. Really got me to thinking of these packs. (I'm always lugging around a basic automotive tool kit. Sockets and such. Old cars and scrapyards...)

I got the Bauer bag it's a great bag.

How do they carry full? I'm a maintenance man in a tool factory, I don't use a cart to carry my tools. I'm using the awp hp but it's failing.

[theChadRamroq]

Do you have any idea what the weight limit is for the inside of the bag

[robertweir]

Damn you, you peaked my curiosity again!

[JuanNOnly]

The Hercules design is pretty much a clone of the Klein trade master backpack. I wonder if they’re made in the same factory. Wouldn’t be surprised honestly lol

[seattlebest]

How heavy is Hercules' backpack? Thanks

[CarlYota]

Who is the target audience of the Hercules bag? You can get the Milwaukee packout backpack for much cheaper than $140. And the non-pack out versions are even cheaper. Who would buy this?

[Tom-xmg]

Nice but too much for me, I would buy 3 more tools instead.
