So what do you use to edit your videos?

How r those tires holding up?

Awesome man. I’d hope both Milwaukee and Ridgid are looking at all these cool modifications on KZbin. They really need to take notes.

Are the new boxes compatible with the first ones l am to cheep to buy a new set but would like to find a 4 drawer to replace one in my stack

Amazing video brother I just got mine yesterday 🎉🎉🎉

I just Got mine Hercules 1500 yesterday 🎉🎉😅🫡🫡🫡

1st gen was 20-30-50 for the bottom box.

What dues that setup cost in Milwaukee today at a Home Depot? I’m gonna search

Thank you appreciated 👍

I only have a few, but Hercules are amazing for the price. Can rival Milwaukee and dewalt

Swear that sounds like a milwaukee once the bolt is broke free !! I bet it's a clone of the gen 1 !

They arent gimmicks they put out different torques. Put out different power outputs. Milwaukee is more punch Hercules will fail or take longer to do the job. The difference is how fast does the tool do the job vs how long does the battery last.

this is awesome! thank you for the vid

Great video man. Those latches eventually gonna go. They need to make them user replaceable.

nICE. We need some hax for the ridgid. Milwaukee got all those aftermarket parts.

Husky aint bad but they need DRAWERS. LOL.

I heard this still way better than Milwaukee Packout. I heard they sag when you have lots of weight in them.

Have u got the 1/4 in drive one

What is the cost comparison? Like the Milwaukee costs what for 1:06:00 of run time vs what is the cost of Hercules run time? I wasn't surprised to see the Milw. last longer, but if you're on a budget, Hercules actually lasted less than 10 min longer. Would be curious to know the price difference between the 2 as tested.

How much stuff is in the box?

Do you know if that 4 drawer will fit on the first system? I have wrenches in one short box, ratchets and sockets in another box... The drawers would be an improvement for me.

Just a bunch of gimmick tools, I'm against Milwaukee

Why are you doing these updates ? I'll be honest, your first video already sold me on it lol

Man great update. I remember now watching a few months ago the video of you making the wood top and the side case. I’ve got some things on my set after 2 months of use. I’ll need to make a video as well. Glad to see the update on yours since you remove them everyday whereas mine stay in my trailer. My hand truck attachment is still brand new. I searched high and low for extra drawer dividers and now I would not buy more of them lol. They don’t stay secure bouncing around at 80+ around Houston. Drawers so drag as well on mine. I try to keep the heavier items around the edge like in the fasteners drawer. These are by no means comparable to Milwaukee Packouts or StackTech but it was the right price. I’ve also had the older Ridgid cases from 10 years ago so the compatibility is nice. Now two variations that I think they are missing is the 3 equal drawers and the single large drawer. The 3 equal drawers are actually more useful for power tools like drills and impacts. The single for saws etc.. overall I’m happy. I have 1 - 4 drawer, 2 - 3 drawers, and 2 - 2 drawers. May add a second 2 drawer that I’ll modify to be a single drawer. Suggestion on the latches. You can use zip ties to either wrap around the handle, or around the plastic loop to give it more bite and tension on the spring steel things. Hope that makes sense. I had to do that to my Gen 1 boxes since they changed the profile of the plastic latching hooks. Appreciate the update and your time to making the video.

Thing is a beast. I got one not long ago and was ripping 1”8tpi x 5oal gib bolts with liberal red loctite like nothing.

Yeah, eventually, I’m going to get into the Hercules tools. I just haven’t pulled a trigger.

Have Both of the New Guns 1/2 and 3/4 and Also have the Milwaukee M18 fuel 2967-20 also have the DEWALT XR DCF 961 these guns are real close but the DeWalt will hit with that VTEC after 5 seconds then the game is over

The new Hercules stuff with 5yr warranty can’t be beat imo for the value. Especially if you have a harbor freight close by

Thanks for the update. I bought a set recently and like it.

Sweet!

Have you had it in the rain? I’m curious if water will get into the drawers because I’d need to keep mine on the back of my truck uncovered.

That’s such a relief.

Better than Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, I send one to my country and everyone love it, same battery same 3/4💪🏿💪🏿👌🏽💯

I'm sold

My store never takes them out of the box and leaves them on the top shelf so you have wait 30 mins to find an employee, to then find the stairs to get them down.

know that you torqued it to 475 ft lbs now try seeing if it tasks off the lug nut

It’s powerful

Thank you for doing this update video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently trying to decide if I want to buy rigid drawers, Flex drawers or Klein. This has been a big help and I love that you showed the drag. I currently have packout drawers and I've talked to other people and all the packout drawers seem to drag basically empty. These look amazing compared to the packout drawers I've seen.

Do you think they will do a new crate 2.0?

That old American Iron ain't Metric. The interesting thing about these cordless impacts is that the Battery has to be designed to deliver the current needed for the job. While this sounds obvious, it's not so for air tools. Years ago I sold Mac Tools. One of the mechanics asked for a 1" impact gun since he had started working on more big trucks. I brought him the tool, connectors, and hose, but he only wanted the hose. I told him I would bring them back next week. When I came back he was disappointed in the tool. He thought it wasn't much better than his 1/2" impact. I asked if I could show him how it was done. I changed his air fitting, used the half-inch hose I brought, and hooked up to an air tank I brought. With the same pressure he was running at the shop, the 1" impact gun startled him when he used it. Without the ability to get enough air volume, the pressure wanes immediately. I told him, "Ya gotta let the Big Dawg Eat." I sold him the hoses, fittings, and even the air tank. The tools have been going up in power and the battery voltages have grown in demand, "To let the Big Dawg Eat."

Tip that MAY reduce wind noise. On your front crossbar wrap 550 paracord around it with a few inches between each cord and tie at each end. That will break up the wind. Sounds crazy, but pretty much eliminated the wind noise on mine. May have to do on both front and back.

According to Torque Test Channel, this impact does the following approximate Ft-Lb of torque tightening in forward on speed 3: 5 seconds: 587 10 seconds: 759 15 seconds: 832

I've had that 3/4" gun for couple months now. Love it. I work in a diesel shop too.

Wow. He can do math. But can not afford to buy the items.

Yeah that’s really cool in the works I plan on making a video putting the Bosch 3/4 drive pro factor up against the CP7762

the HF electric tools really came a long way in the past several years. that hercules is no joke and go toe to toe with the bigger brands

I like the case! The tool might last about six weeks, if not used. However, at least it is not going to kill if it fails. And yes, I like that color blue. No torque wrench to test the tool? If it can do 950 ft-lbs at 10 sec and 1100 ft-lbs at 30 seconds, I'm guessing you are torquing way over the required 475 t lbs. So when the guy uses the torque wrench and the nuts DO NOT move, you could be over torqued up to probably 950 ft-lbs. If so, just imagine trying to get those off with just a normal air ratchet in the future or if on the side of a road with a tire truck a large hand wrench. This might have been one of the worse tests of a tool I have ever seen. I would trust torque test channel long before this joke of a torque test for a tool. And come back after using it for six weeks and I mean use it and tell us how it held up.

People are realizing Harbor Freight is a different animal than it was a few years ago. Sure, they still have some less than desirable products but for the DIYer and the pro, the Bauer and Hercules lines respectively are fantastic tools at very reasonable prices.

I'm not a fan of HF but this is actually impressive

Definitely gonna make a wood top like yours, I appreciate the video sir ! 👍
