BOLTR: Harbor Freight Impact | MUCH BETTER QUALITY

Where most companies have been investing in their own profits, Harbor Freight has been investing in quality. I think they are positioning themselves to pick up where Sears Craftsman left off.

I think you're right.

Lowe's is bringing craftsman back. Yes they are US manufactured now.

Good tools don't need much advertisement, it's spread/recommended from word of mouth.... and in this instance directlt from the mouth of Uncle Bumblefuck himself. I just hope in anycase they keep the good work up and this is not just a onetime glory, if they do keep up with developement of high quality tools at great prices in a few short years they''ll have masked and erased their past misdeeds and become a go to brand.

I've said it before, I have an earthquake 1/2 impact not the new style mine is 8 years old, rain dirt shine, it will break loose diesel lug nuts at 113psi 3/8ths hose. It is used 21 days a month. Average out to, 4 tires a day. I'm not a tire guy either I move the trucks themselves, so it's also used for axle bolts, frame mount ubolts. It gets alot of use.

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

My trigger finally died 2 years in. Matco's oil almost saved it from me not using the right tool oil when it was young. I think I damaged the rubber seals....in parts which you CAN'T take apart without a hatchet. The trigger assembly in his video shows you can take it apart. Where mine failed, I can't. :/ Bought a Matco and this video gives me even more regrets. Just over a year and my friend can't put lug nuts on with it anymore. He has a bunch of other air guns...tells me that when I only had one, I better not let it be a Matco stubby. Picked up the full-sized Earthquake XT which on KZbin was shown to be equal in power to Snap Ons. I didn't get past the packaging. It's been days, but I do labor a lot, lol.

[@raymondmucklow3793]

DE Nichols with the tool disconnected from the hose, I drop the oil in the male quick connect if you don't pull the trigger it won't accept much. If you have it connected permanently to the hose, then I would go get some quick connects.

I bought the 1/2" non-stubby version of this for my Diesel Tech class. Thing is no joke. It ate every bolt and nut I threw at it for lunch without even breaking a sweat. Got some funny looks when I pulled that out of the toolbox, but that changed right quick once multiple nuts were busted in quick succession

Perhaps harbor freight should market that “all online orders will be delivered in discreet, unmarked packaging”.

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

Uh, they were the last time I did a big online order, just before I started my first tech job. I felt that filling in some gross wholes in my tool collection that way was smart. And it was, but I freaked out and contacted Harbor Freight about never sending it when finally my wife remembered putting a random, unmarked box somewhere. It has a bunch of tools which have never failed me. This included some cheap SAE wrenches because I figured there's always some random aftermarket bolt which was in millimeters when the car was first made, but got switched out. Turned out I was right. Go cheap on stuff you hardly use, but do actually need. I do review tools somtimes, but I mostly just use them. Come check it out. :)

I bought one of these after watching your video, because I was really sceptical about the claim of it hitting 700 "break away torque". It works pretty good thought. It was busting lug nuts on light duty pick em ups. I really only bought it to remove harmonic balancer bolts(especially on Subaru's in order to get the ole t-belt off) it saves about an hours time of having to take the radiator or buying the factory harmonic balancer holders. I really appreciate you doing the videos.

Actually Buna-N derives its name from the chemical process by which is is produced. 1,3 butadiene ( CH2=CHCH=CH2 ) gets polymerized with sodium (Na) as a catalyst, to form BuNa. Then Buna is copolymerized with acrylonitrile ( CH2=CH-CN ), meaning that that molecules of both compounds bond together to form a long chain. And there you have it, Buna-N. Now if buna is copolymerized with styrene ( CH2=CHPh ) at a ratio of 25% the product is called Buna-s and if the ratio is 50% it is called Buna-ss (not to be confused with Schutzstaffel). I hope this makes sense.

Freaking love videos like this! Thank you for making it and for being brutally honest about it! Street cred: 25+ years in industrial maintenance here, with around 10 years in commercial and institutional maintenance, and some commercial / industrial construction work up in there. 11 years ago I went solo as a "hired gun" maintenance, service, process, and engineering contractor. I do everything from control panels to hydraulics to mechanical, welding, structural, etc. Old school industrial maintenance because I'm a 4th generation industrial maintenance guy. I have some hella expensive tools, and I have some pretty cheap tools. Typically, the tools I use the most and rely on are the more expensive ones, the ones I use every once in a while, are the cheaper ones. I have a 24" Chinesium crescent wrench that I've had for well over 20 years. Bought it at a flea market for about $15, and it still works fine, but I have probably used it less than 50 times. Still, it's beefy enough to do the limited jobs I need it for. I also have a Milwaukee Deep Cut Porta-Band that I paid full retail for (over $400) because I had bought a couple Northern Hydraulics branded Chinese shit and they literally lasted less than a dozen cuts on 1-1/2 in angle iron. I'm not a tool snob by any means. I get the tools that work for me and don't GAF if someone sees some off brand name in my seriously overloaded Astrodamnvan Of Mass Destruction. Judge me for the brand of my tools all you want, as long as the $75 to $125/hr. check clears. If it works, I have no problem with it. I typically don't take a tool to it's design limits, so whether it will do EXACTLY what it says it will do is of little concern. Again, thanks for the vid. Really good stuff.

[@ZachFromIT]

I'm watching the price of this model rise everywhere and I'm inclined to think uncle bumblefuk is on the hook for my extra peso's.

[@southbrazosbass244]

I bought one of these, because I could recognize the quality in it right away, not only weight and the quality materials looking clean and pure, but I could tell this design was either reverse engineered from the Matco version like this, or it was designed by the same engineer stolen over to this company. Matco makes a low profile impact just like this, same trigger, same cover, same selector switch. Same power. Uncanny similarity.

Haven't had a good laugh in a while, thank you!

[@rhyslewis4399]

unfortunately theres quite a high demand for them, the local exterminator gives top dollar for the lightly soiled ones to clean out the real extreme rodent infestations. as for the very highly soiled bad boys, well the village priest wears them on his head during Sunday service to ward off demonic entities etc well thats what they told me, seems legit? but if the price is right im sure something can be arranged haha

[@martinda7446]

Rhys - I have never seen knickers of the calibre you describe here. I wonder if I could borrow your wife for a month or two? This would allow me some experimental time and should be ample for making a collection. It may sound like I am asking you to put your wife out to stud as it were, and yes, I am. She sounds like a lovely lady.

My shop vernacular has changed for the better since watching AvE. “You let the smoke out!” is my oft spoken troubleshooting summary.

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

Mon dieu... the square root of 69 is indeed 8-something. I feel like Richard Dreyfuss sculpting Devil's Tower out of mashed potatoes: "This is important. This means something..."

Google heh?

[@Digital__rb]

This is the best advertising ever for this gun, you just made me go to harbor freight right now and buy one before prices go up or quality goes down

[@Marcus_972]

Those industrious little fellas are getting better every year.... Hey Snap-On, maybe you should start thinking about not asking the going rate of a Chinese political prisoner’s organs for everything you slap your name on?

[@Marcus_972]

tr0n Snap-On gross sales in 2016 = $3.46b with net profit of $546m. That is an INSANE margin of profit to sales after operating expenses and tax. Snap-On is absolutely bending us all over. Yep they’re tools are freaking awesome but they are making huge margins off hard working men. I don’t blame them one bit however, I own a business and do everything I can to charge the maximum the market will bear for a quality product. I’m just saying I hope more mid priced higher quality options hit the market to put Snap-On/MAC/etc more in reach of the average Joe’s financial means.

[@MH-wo4be]

Well snap-ons power tools (both air and electric) have proven to be underperformers for awhile now. Sitting back and cashing in a designs that are 10-20 years old. Snap-ons distribution network is very inefficent and adds a lot of cost also. The "tool truck" is running on limited time. One of the worst franchies you can become involved in. When you sign on with snap-on, mac, cornwell, matco you get a "area" or route. You work that route for 20 years and build up a huge following from hard work and reliability. When you want to retire all you have is a worn out truck. The company owns the route and pass it on to the next guy who will benefit from your hard work. At least with most franchises you have Something you can liquidate when it is time to retire.

[@CozzyKnowsBest]

I've just realised a whole new depth of enjoyment to AVE vijeos, turn on closed captions and watch the algorithm try and keep up with him. It's "thick black time" boys!

[@bonez72392]

I got this one open box for 65 bucks, it's literally the most kickass impact I've owned, it's amazing in a tight spots, but still strong enough to undo lug nuts. AvE could you please test the actual ft lbs? The little reverse selector while being a bit odd looking works pretty well if your running one handed.

[@cgfleetservices]

Have had one for going on 3 years now. Been a bad ass little unit. Works great for when your doing ball joints in fords. Ive taken lug nuts off dump trucks with it too. Been really happy with it.

[@cliffsta87337]

I lost it when you said “homeless despot” omg LMAO

[@johnrivers998]

I use this stubby to remove air bags on semi trailers. I love it. I have another mechanic in the shop who let me use his Blue Point and I had to change guns to remove the 3/4 nut on the bottom of the bag. It wasn’t convenient to have to change guns to do that. I took a chance with the XT and it removes all of the nuts on the bag. So for 300 dollars less and more convenience I’m very pleased. I also cut cut 5/8 of an inch off of my impact socket and clearance is definitely no issue. Add a swivel and your in the clear. Just my opinion, hope it helps others.

[@jerrysberrys3415]

You cut the bloody carry bag lol

[@17Beastmode17]

Let's be real. No one ever uses those carry bags

[@Pyrohawk]

I think the hook is a thumb control, so you can go from "your first girlfriend" to "the dmv whenever you've been given a ticket you dont deserve" without having to take your mitts off the action

[@gavin2428]

Yessss finally another tool review I love these keep it up cause man you inspire me im 17 and I've always loved taking things apart and seeing how they worked but the problem was I never got them back together

[@hawk1994a]

Gavin i was just like you when i was younger, destroyed a lot of things. As you get older you get better at putting them back together. The important thing is to keep learning!

[@jerrylong381]

Me too, I found that after I got some other tools to go with my hammer and chisel things went back together better.

[@jmh1189]

I love the fact that there was a box cutter sitting right there while you hatchet away at it.

[@GreddyReaddy]

He said “Mal parido” good to see Pablo Escobar is now doing tool reviews lol

[@Teporame]

Until I heard it from him, I thought that word was reserved for politicians in Latin America. It is like a badge of honor for them.

[@philbodale9406]

So glad you did this video! I bought one of these a while ago. Love it actually. Use the thing all the time. Inspired by your vids, I took mine apart. Interestingly, mine was not de-bured inside, but the bearings weren't crusted up either.

[@zombieplow]

First time to this channel and not even a minute in I'm afraid for your hands. This is gonna be a good channel, I can tell already. xD

[@StonehouseCinema]

It’s nice to see a positive review. I didn’t even know I wanted a stubby till now

[@OrionFyre]

It's almost like everything they improved was something you dinged them on in the previous vijayo.

[@brotherbrian1]

I tried out one of these, and it lasted exactly 4 weeks before the trigger valve went out on it. Returned it for a new one and got 4 more weeks. Third time, I just got my money back before the 90 day warranty was up. Great little gun while it was working.

[@zmodem4619]

@1:40 "One little mark here...don't know where that came from" lol! Came from @0:35 xD

[@coltonjacobs5383]

He knows that he made the mark, that’s just his kind of comedy

[@kevinlechner7722]

Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234 he knows and he is laughing at it

[@mgratk]

"If'in ya think I missed anything please down-below me in the doobily-doo." Somehow I know exactly what that means. Tell me I haven't been watching lots of AvE.

[@Rocksaplenty]

It means "If I missed something, please tell me in the comment section"

[@johnnyreb4200304]

Who else was screaming come on come on and TIME when he slammed it lmao

[@thebmac]

I said oh no when I saw them twisty tie zap straps holding her in. I knew it wouldn't be a new record

[@tomr1107]

I bought one of these for 40 bucks open box. Did a clutch job on my 350z with it. Didnt have to break out my IR 2130c. I took a chance being that this is the first review of it on youtube. thanks

[@TheDutchGuy110]

4:00 French Accident? What Was She Like?

[@jjarechiga]

Not quick enough!

[@TradeWorks_Construction]

😂 His early comments …. then pan over to the heating plate, beaker, tray and chemicals …. Priceless!

[@mrtimjitsu]

"what's the square root of 69?" "ate somethin'" omfg I'm dying!

[@rvndmnmt1]

I work on cars for a living and bought one based on this review alone. I am not disappointed. It's compact, lightweight, and near as I can tell every bit as powerful as my full sized IR. May not be saying much but this thing has torque for days. Definitely not 700 ft/lbs but enough.

[@annuncirith]

"One little mark there, don't know where that came from"..... hmm........

[@StanleyKubick1]

lol your product reviews are always so funny and informative. then you blow my mind with french etymology and donning/kruger references. greetings from iceland.

[@Sparkman61]

I still want to see a review of that little Vulcan Mig you gave us a peek at bit ago. Your buddy Chucky did one a while back but he really should never have opened that thing up - he might be a pretty good welder, but electronicles ain't his bag.

[@GeneralPoison]

Sparkman61 and listening to his voice make my head hurt....

[@bohaggin5913]

Chucky's skill level is on par with Harbor freight. Hack-o-rama

[@wcjcnc]

I have the HF Earthquake Xtreme Torque 1/2” air impact. It’s a beast. My Ingersol Rand impact finally died so I just grabbed this one to get me by and I’m blown away by the power and quality. You need to use high flow air fittings all the way from the air compressor to the tool for maximum performance.

[@philbox4566]

Hah, a wee rambunctious for the meth lab. Ya crack me up, every time. Gold.

[@sodomousprime]

I almost spat my drink over my monitor and soiled the chair so many times during this episode, You had me in stitches laughing the whole time, absolutely brilliant!

[@thesledgehammerblog]

You and Aaron Kyro (Braille Skateboarding) should get together and swap package opening tips.

[@ctyslickr]

I got one of these impacts as an open box in one of the local Harbor Freight parking lot sales for $36... Been using it for over a year without issue or breakage... Just keep it oiled and it has outperformed my Matco impact hands down! A few of the texts at the dealership have bought the Harbor Freight brand over the tool truck brands
