I wish there was a Harbor Freight store in my state. I would love to try out the Bauer and Hercules brands.

Those impact wrenches arent really meant for driving wood screws even if you use those torx sockets.

Impact drivers are what should have been tested on those screws. I've never seen someone use an impact wrench for wood screws, lag bolts sure but with impact sockets.

The drill test was between a brushed vs brushless model is unfair, there's quite a significant gain in power on the brushless models. My brushed hercules drill couldn't get through a 2x4 with the hercules self feeding spade bits without bogging down several times but my new brushless hercules drill has zero issues, bith paired with 5ah batteries. When using brushed drills I use regular spade bits.

I recently bought an adapter to use my Hercules batteries with Bauer tools... Works like a charm!

A better head to head would be the Bauer brushless 1/2 inch drill.

I see you're getting a lot of heat in the comments but I enjoyed the video. I didn't know the difference between an impact wrench and an impact driver until I had to buy one to use on a car.

Wrong. You needed the Impact Driver for what you’re doing. The new Hercules Impact Driver beat both the Gen 3 & 4 Milwaukee impacts on the Torque Test channel.

"We got something going here, something going there." You should have gotten comparable and appropriate tools before doing the video. Wasted my dang time. 😂

[Gabriel-izz]

I just wish harbor freight prices would stay responsible. Unfortunately, all these tests are getting to HF head, and their prices are going up . I'm sorry to say that will be there down fall

[randytrivitt]

You really should have used the brushless Bauer edition drill!! That would have really made a big difference with the a closer comparisons between the two Names!!? I have a brushless Bauer drill and it is awesome!! Thanks for the comparison video though!! Okay 👍👍👍

[hawjfamily]

You have great video production. I'm sure your videos will be successful in no time.

[floydvaco]

I have to disagree with you because I have the brushed hammer drill and I drill thru 1/2 plate with warrior drill bits

[Toolsareus]

You weren’t happy with the impacts because you bought the wrong tool for what you tested them for and with the Bauer drill you bought the lower inversion. You should have gotten the brushless one.

[TysonThomas-uu]

He thought he had the impact driver, but got the job done with a wrench. Supposed to no but it worked

[bennettshfd]

They both make a 1/4 drive impact driver, you have impact wrenches.

[charlestreadway]

You should be using an impact socket, not just a standard socket. The right tool for the right job.

[yourbrokenoven]

something's wrong with the tools or batteries if they're delivering a different voltage just from a different battery size. It's not supposed to work like that.

[hershfam]

as others pointed out a little unfair comparison but super high quality video i was expecting alot more than 500 subs. i had to ht the sub button. and also the video was a little quiet for me

[shotokanjoable]

The impact drivers are machanics impacts ...not construction

[FFMMA]

lol this guy doesn’t know the difference between an impact driver and an impact driver wrench drill, and he runs a tool channel??
Terrible test too. All messed up.
You needed an impact driver. Like a wood working drill. Not an impact wrench that uses sockets. Those are for bolts and engine and tire work.

The only thing a 1.5 or 2.0 battery is good for is a glue gun 😅
