Harbor Freight Dethroning Milwaukee & DeWalt w/ New Ultra Torque Impact Wrench?

Yes, yes they do. Pretty much. No need to watch the video then.
Why are you still reading this? You have entirely too much time on your hands. Also, I'm editing this at midnight right now. What am I doing with my life, we have like 55 impact wrenches and we ordered one of these Ultra Torques. Does anyone else have like a PILE of tools? Is it disrespectful to store them this way? We're incredibly fortunate you guys fund this madness, but at some point, like, the shelves are already full of power tools and batteries we'll need again I'm sure. The peg board has already fallen down and almost taken out the household cat. It's a safety issue at this point.
I'm working for Astro Tools in product development, though they dont make anything cordless. But it's good to know all that you can know, ya know?
I'm going to sleep.

Torque, who started this channel, is working in product development for Astro tools, who also make power tools but not cordless. Always consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!

Wow. Impressive results this time from Harbor Freight! With a 5 year warranty and a substantially lower price when you consider the battery cost - this seems like a legit contender.

[Pavloook]

For a shop, that price difference could add up, but perhaps even better would be the over the counter warranty. Being able get a working tool same day could mean a lot.

Honestly really impressed by this. I've noticed lately it feels like Harbor Freight tools and stuff have been actually climbing in quality. Obviously still not generally anywhere close to name brands that are typically thought of as "high quality" but it really seems like they're trying hard to genuinely compete with more highly thought of brands.

as far as I'm concerned, y'all were the first to start publicly documenting conversion rates from ugga-duggas to ft.lbs. You definitely deserve a lot of credit for any trend of mfg's including real specs.

If I was in the market for a high torque I would actually be very interested in this Ultra Torque. Seems like a great value. That said I already bought a Ridgid Octane high torque, completely because of this channel. Appreciate you guys.

When I saw these on harbor freights site I was hoping you'd find a pair of them in your hands. They did better than I expected

They are both on sale this weekend the ultra toque is only $199 or $260 with a 2.5 battery and charger

[williamrogers]

Just snagged the ultra torque today for $102, already ripped through a tire rotation my mid torque couldn't get the lugs off. Less than a second it felt the ultra removed the lug nut, crazy power for a diy guy and 5 years worry free I'm a happy camper. Ditching my DeWalt stuff one by one.

[Darkcruzer]

i hope this is a sign that harbor freight is going to continue stepping up their game! they have so many levels, they can keep one brand as cheap as possible, another to compete with the big brands, so they get the best of both worlds

[michaelcrumlett]

Thanks for the video. Nice to see HF disrupting things once again. I use a Milwaukee 2767 in my shop and it’s pretty awesome, and I have mid-torque and smaller DeWalt and Milwaukee tools at home, but I picked up HF’s Bauer driver, drill, and reciprocating saw for use around the shop and I haven’t been disappointed in them at all. Maybe it’s time for the Hercules Ultra Torque in my service truck…

I've been waiting for this test with baited breath...thank you for finally putting it out there. I'm so glad Harbor Freight is consistently upping their quality to go along with their great service. This seems like a great foray into the world of more serious battery power tools, and I can't wait for what else they got coming. More competition is always better for the consumer. These new tools seem like a wonderful option for the professional that has a HB near them, and an even better option for the DIY guy. I just hope they release new higher end tools to go along with the new 21700 batteriea that can take advantage of the extra power.

Definitely need a test til fail comparison when these become more widely available. I love my Milwaukee stuff and as I’m a diesel tech I need it to hold up to a long term beating. Real world application, the 33mm lug nuts on a semi call for 450-500ft-lb of torque, and I’ve used my Milwaukee on a 6 Mississippi count to make that torque wrench click when set to 475. Consistently. Super impressive

[KylesMobileAutoRepairLLC]

I have all of the hercules tools for auto repair, I absolutely loveeee them, I prefer them well over my over priced snap on electric tools that are constantly needing fixed! I had never expected them to be so impressive

[danielsmith-zewy]

Good morning everyone hope everyone is having a blessed Friday

[ranchosdelnorte]

I appreciate how you provide all the data, which allows people that understand it to look at it and decide for themselves what is best for their needs, yet you also provide a quick and simple summary for those who just want to know what the best deal is.

[michigansoundwizard]

Those races had me yelling with excitement at my screen. Amazing work from Harbor Freight and TTC as always.

[mikebroom]

You guys inspired me to use my 6AH 21700 pack on my 1/2" impact. Definitely makes a difference, especially at low voltage.

[ericlewandowskivlogs]

I have the dewalt 899. For about 2 years now. Ive been pretty happy with it, as a driveway mechanic only using it maybe once a month, its been great. I actually chose it just because the battery was swappable with my power tools and yard tools. Hard to leave a brand i have so many batteries for. I even modified the Kid's power wheels to take 1 a 20v Dewalt battery.

[markosworld]

We need some Durability testing. See how long they all comparatively hold together!
