can you open and compare the amazon versions of this tool

that shaft would have been much better hollow

sandwich a metal band between those four screws at the top

None of this is useless information. It’s vital to learn how a tool is constructed. You’re helping the public become smarter tool buyers

That case cover might flex some in halves but i doubt it will with two halves put together. I took apart a Milwaukee drill once to change a bearing in it and it did the same thing. Put the two halves back together and there was no flexing. The strength is in both halves assembled and that's really all that's needed... not like it's gonna be used taken apart. Lol.

Thank you for the content. I broke the pin on the drive shaft. I will hold on to the broke one for parts and I will NEVER put manual torque on this again. I was way out of line and not thinking while doing a brake job..... At least I know what part I need and how to replace it if I ever come across a shaft and bushing.

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Learned something new.

unfortunately you can't buy any replacement ratchet head parts I read on two separate forums they recommended a part that was supposed to fit that was designed for an ACDelco cordless but neither did and HF doesn't sell the part. but if anyone knows where you can buy the ratchet head or the ratchet gear let me know please

I wish the drive shaft pin was bigger. Because at my shop my coworkers always break due to that PIN. Same for Milwaukee too

HF has this tool for $99, I think it is best use after breaking the bolt using a regular ratchet and unwinding the bolt with this tool. Awesome video, thank you.

Could those brushes be replaced if need be?

13:19 It's called a passive radiator.

Nice explanation

With the motor being brushed. What would the life span on it be before the contacts wear out

I'm way late to the discussion and someone else may have already mentioned this but, I'm guessing that by injecting the red second and then the black third the gray had time to cool and therefore compromised the bond between the gray and black.

The honesty at the beggining 😂 I actually started watching your videos at midnight in bed

Nobody except the Amazon no name brands are making these. Why? A 12v corded impact wrench I can plug into my cigarette lighter? Yes please. No worrying about having batteries, or that those batteries are actually charged! Why is nobody jumping on this idea?

Do another paintball gun breakdown, preferably Dye MXR and compare the builds

This was pretty cool

I enjoy watching your videos, thank you don’t stop making them!

my Bauer got rained on and it killed it thanks for video. it's done

I have a home improvement/remodeling company, we use all brand tools. That being said, i have a few Bauer tools, about 3 . We have the Bauer brad nailer, the mud mixer and planer. They're all working with no issues. We have about 4 battery platforms, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Bauer & hyper tough 12v for only 2 tools which are the compact impact wrench and a compact impact driver which i use both to install cabinets because my bigger impacts sometimes can't get into very tight spots. Funny story how i got the hyper tough 12v platform but they work for what I use them for. For more heavy duty stuff, we use Milwaukee.

Saw one for the first time a few days ago and was thinking about getting one, love the small narrow neck, would have saved me many hours in my long life, really enjoyed seeing the construction of it, just trying to decide between the 1/4 and 3/8, Thanks for the video.

This is an interesting, but disappointing, seat-of-the-pants comparison. I was expecting test data, at least for the charge capacity - physical testing of the assembly and parts would have been a great bonus - but there is nothing here that proves how the products compare. It's easy to say "this plastic isn't as strong" but it can be argued that it is strong enough for the average home user. Do a follow-up that tests the batteries for capacity and charging speed. Drop testing and similar testing would make a better evaluation.

00:44 -- Damn it! There's no telling how many countless hours of YT that I've fallen asleep to over the years - but it's generally some geeky shit. Glad I found you - Subbed!

The black is an overload but as far as the contacts are concerned that's not over molding that's a process known as "insert injection molding" commonly done in the tooling and automobile industry

The first problem is it's a brushed motor and brushed motors suck. There's a lot of internal resistance which draws more energy out of your battery and also they create Sparks inside with the brushes that are vented to the open air and that is an explosive hazard when you were around volitile vapors. so " just say no" to brushed motors.

Thanks man, you saved a tool, i can repair mine now

When you said this will not break any big bolts u would have to get an impact or ratchet it by hand...did you have to use a different ratchet...or did you use this hurcules one to break it by hand then you finished it off electricity?

Great review. I just pick one of these up yesterday for ~75$ with their 15% off coupon.

Great video. Sad though, I thought all of the Hercules tools were brushless. I’m still gonna buy one. It will go well with my standard length of Milwaukee.

Can you make a video of the Hercules ultra torque 1/2 inch impact

Reminds me of AvE except a bit more serious. Subbed

Where is the link for the internals on the hydraulic part?

Nice breakdown. Wish you could put out more vids.

I am a satisfied Bauer consumer and I am very pleased with the performance.

The clip is actually a tool holder for the on field use of a elenwrech

5 day returns for open box and As-Is items. As-Is are the ones marked with xxx which have been used and returned and have been shipped to an outside facility that tests them and engrave them. Great video, love that you keep proving Harbor Freight is continuing to improve. Subscribed, thanks!

Slap a Trojan on that bad boy and keep working 💪 😂

I learned quite a bit from this video, and I subscribed. You never explicitly said “this tool is built very well” but picking up on some of your cues and tone, that’s what I’m hearing. I would like if you were able to tear apart and compare different models as well like Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc and compare the differences, if any. Ok I’m off to search through your videos for some more content.

I live for this type of useless information I learned some cool stuff thanks!

Almost 100% perfect. Needs a transducer mount location. Seriously thinking about selling my pa12 and getting a Zulu. Big thumbs up tho

Ewwwww glossy power tools 😂

How do you know all this shit? 😂 Good stuff though boss. Thanks for the info. Well done sir.

I don't give a damn about that impact driver what I want to know is where to get a battery for that black and decker drill

Bauer is NOT the most powerful Bauer is NOT the cheapest Bauer IS the best value

At first I thought that Dyson launched a cordless drill 😂 Doesnt look too bad tho. Looks better than most space invader futuristic tools these days. Simple, black I would give this to my double left handed dad or something

How to grease it?

I'm a HF/Baur addict. I wouldn't be if I didn't get good tools cheap.

Good tool for the price.
