Hercules 12V tools Quick Look (Drill - Impact - Screwdriver)

Hercules 12V Tools (Impact - Drill - Screwdriver) - It was only a matter of time (I mean the 20V charger actually says "& 12V" on it). These just hit the website and should be on store shelves any day but Harbor Freight was nice enough to provide me a pre-release set so you can see them in action here first.

All Hercules tools were given to me by Harbor Freight. There was no other compensation and this is not a paid review.

This video is part of the new Harbor Freight email\ad. Congratulations on the big league with honest tool reviews

I gotta say, Red, I was impressed with the power for a little 12v drill. I do mostly small woodcraft projects, and don't need brute power like the construction guys. These seem like a good future option for me, especially given how inexpensive the batteries are.

Hercules had brought the a game to the table. Another great review bear

I have severe arthritis. The Hercules screwdriver handle is smaller than other such tools, fits my hand better than any other brand.

[michaelsmith]

I am curious how they compare to the new skil 12v tools.

[brandonw]

They do fit well in the hand but I’ve already gone through two Hercules crapping out. Luckily harbor freight does honor returns

[rickwashek]

Yeah, Milwaukee m12 is the route I take. Thanks for what you do.

I use a Mikita 12v impact and drill for everything (have had it for 5 years). With the drill, I find it under powered all the time with spade bits and drilling pilot holes for 1/4” lag screws. I very rarely find the impact underpowered. I was impressed with how well the Hercules handled that big spade. I doubt my Makita could do that.

[jlrockafella]

I would get them if they were cheaper but for the price I rather have Makita or Milwaukee.

[PawOfRizzo]

I actually got my own paws on them last weekend at a nearby HF. They feel really solid, but super lightweight, which I really like. I don't need another drill or impact, but if I see a good enough coupon over time...maybe in the $70s range....I'd probably consider one just to mess with it and see what it does.

Good seeing you in the VCG stream today!

Can the 12v Hercules drill a 1 inch hole with a hex spade bit? @The Den of Tools

Being a Hercules fan, and having 4 pieces of Milwaukee m12 stuff, I wanted to see how these herc 12v did. I talked the tool control person at work into getting a herc 12v drill, when the Milwaukee m18 one stopped changing directions. He got it, felt nice. Couple days later some HVAC engineers came to his office to build a box over his air vent. One asked for a drill and laughed and made a snid comment when he was handed the herc 12v. When he was done using it, as he handed it back he said, " that's a really nice drill". Like I said having m12 drill and impact, the herc 12v feels great and so balanced. I'm sure I will get a pair when they go on a sale, whether I need a 4th drill and 3rd impact or not.

Clapping, *Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!* 😁

[mariodiy]

Can it handle drilling out screws? My rotor screws are rusted in. Thanks

[Zombiereaper]

They look good, but they definitely need to drop the price! Also they seem a little redundant in the lineup, other than the 1/4" chuck screwdriver.

I think if they were going to develop a 12v they should have done more work sooner on the earthquake system. It would be nice to have a 1/4" and 3/8" drive ratchets, an impact, and screwdriver that all use the same 12v batteries. They have the new 12v polisher, so maybe they have plans for those.

[Ron-dsob]

Mr. Bear, please do a review comparing the HF screw guns with name brand ones by screwing 3" screws into hardwood until the drill quits. Any drill can last to screw in 5 screws into soft pine. Lets see if it can do 50, 100, 200+ screws before it dies.

[pointedspider]

Well Papa Bear.... As mentioned before... I'ma Milwaukee But I must These Hercs look good. It's pretty evident that harbor freight really has up'd their game.

[toolhead]

12v and 20v we need a bundle 2 tools 2 batteries a charger and a bag, close to competitors price. Also if they want to sell these a lot they need to get them out there. Maybe a 1 free trial guarantee just like the saw, that would build this brand and get the word out.
