[@persnikitty3570]

Defining what 'is' is will do that to a soul. So many safety personnel steadfastly refuse any common-sense approaches to safety, while being safe, simply due to such not conforming to what was taught and what their safety documents detail. They want a 'one-size fits all' approach, which simply isn't feasible.

It's my understanding that Hart is made by TTI especially for Walmart. In fact, as Hart was beginning to roll out, some of the signage was sent to Home Dep and caused quite a bit of confusion.

[@namAehT]

TTI makes lower grade tools than Ryobi? I own a bunch of the green bastards, but they're really only good for weekend warrior type shit. The chuck on the "hammer drill" I got _visibly_ wobbles around so it's my go-to for abusive tasks like using it as a wire wheel.

[@michaelknapp3573]

That's correct, it's a cheaper ryobi which is saying something

[@ccoder4953]

Yeah, they're TTI. Den of Tools has mentioned that on multiple occasions. They're only a little cheaper (in price) than Ryobi, typically, so I don't bother with them myself - I already have enough battery systems as it is. Especially when TTI has outlet stores that sell Ridgid and Ryobi at great prices (lookup Direct Tools Factory Outlet).

Your little chain saw faux pas reminded me of something I did. I bought an electric chain saw 2 years ago. I took it out of the box and started using it. It ran great and really cut the wood. I made 2 or 3 cuts and set it down. When I picked it back up it wouldn't do anything. I thought it was an infant mortality case. I took it back and exchanged it for another one. This one ran great. I found out later that I had inadvertently hit the chain break bar on the first one. That was why it didn't work. Doh!

I've got both those tools, bought in a 5 tool set on sale for $79 with two batteries and charge. I've given the drill and recip saw a few good hot suppers and other than not being that powerful, they've been OK. The 1/4 impact failed on the third light use, but I disassembled it, blew a lot of crap out of the brushes and it's working good. For $80 it was a great deal, for full price I'd buy Ridgid instead. And you're right, both are too long, but IMO that's the brushed motor. and the 4 amp batteries have a charge indicator.

My wife brought these home for me last year after my old Dewalt died. The chuck on the drill is rather crappy but it gets the job done. Since I'm not wrenching on cars or laying under industrial machines having gobs of grease and dead insects falling on my face, these two Hart tools are decent. I bought two extra higher capacity batteries. Having a state of charge indicator on the batteries would have been nice. Good video, as usual.

I’m not saying they are the best but I really like ryobi, the old stuff anyways. I bought a combo set in probably 2002 that included a drill, jig saw, sawzall, circular saw, chainsaw, Dustbuster style vacuum, and a light. I use them a lot and have for the last 20 years and nothing has broke yet other than the batteries, their batteries are junk but I’ll gladly buy a new set of batteries every 6-7 years for tools that won’t die.

Sorry not a comment on this video, but a prior one. You were driving pins into a screwdriver handle, your punch kept bouncing off the pin.

I’ve been curious about these since they came out, wondering if they were higher quality than the hyper tough tools Walmart has sold for years. Considering these Hart tools are more expensive you would think yes however I have a hyper tough drill that I bought when i was 18, still chooches to this day. I’ve torn it down before out of curiosity and it seems to be about the exact same quality as this Hart if not a hair better and the hyper tough seemed to be put together a little better. The front end of the hyper tough is screwed into the case, the chuck is a little shorter, and the chuck jaws don’t look like trash. I’ve used this hyper tough drill for 8 years now and it far exceeded my expectations. I even bought another one and the impact driver because of it witch the new drill seems even better than the old one. Feels like it might have slightly better components in it. And the impact driver works like any other. 1375 in. lbs & 2700 no load rpm, plus a battery and charger and the drill all for $44, shit I ain’t gonna complain. I mean it ain’t no Milwaukee or Makita from the good ole days but if that’s all you can afford no sweat it’ll get the job done.

Hart are TTI, and most of them are basically Ryobi with a different battery connector. At least when the brand showed up again a few years back they were taken apart and found to be basically identical to certain ryobi tools. That said Ryobi batteries are almost constantly on sale for pennies and Walmart seems to want Milwaukee prices for Hart batteries so i still wouldnt recommend them. That and as you said, the cost of a dewalt Atomic brushless set compared to these makes these a rough value.

[@rkuhl84]

I wouldn't pay retail for these tools but I have picked up several Hart 20v tools on clearance at Walmart. Mostly vacuums, work lights, glue gun, inverter, etc. but they've all been pretty decent tools. Walmart likes to get rid of old stock stuff quickly so you can find clearance deals on these tools pretty regularly. Good for random household stuff. I wouldn't rely on the drills, saws or impacts really though. Adequate for homeowners in that regard.

Gotta say I have the hart adjustable wrenches, got them as throw aways to be used in sewers and such, gotta say, they’re the best ones Iv used. Super wide opening and I’m always smashing it with a hammer and been good.

[@stevenfl6218]

Been a while since a proper BOLTR. Bout time!

[@kyleslater5245]

Canned tire has their kit for the $129 a lot as well. I’d probably prefer that to Walmart. I mean my canned tire one is still going at 3 years.

[@greasemonkey060]

That ABS sewer pipe strip club sounds classy compared to the 4” ductile place I’ve been frequenting

[@nickreagin9585]

I'm a DeWalt fan myself but I use Porter Cable due to them costing fewer eagle feathers and the local store not supplying tractors has good deals on the PC tools. For home projects they work great and they all come with batteries and chargers so I'll never be without angry pixies.

[@eh42]

8:08 - you're not missing parts, just smarter and more frugal than the team that designed it in the first place!

[@mazman117]

I personally just think of it as weight savings. Ounces add up!

[@9999plato]

Those drills strongly resemble the POorter Cable tools I bought years arg and several other brands with slight cosmetic changes and different battery tab locations.

[@bthummer]

I can safely say using a very large range of brands in my life the hart I got to use (was work supplied) was not that bad in the brushless and felt good while using it. Not as good and Milwaukee or dewalt but not far off the mark! ..... our kits also had 2 batteries.

[@Scurtisjr]

It should feel just like Milwaukee. TTI makes both.

[@davidperry4013]

This is why I love Milwaukee. Milwaukee fuel impact drivers and drills, and other fuel tools are like miniature industrial machines

[@JasonOfTGA]

I wish my ringgear was nylon, then it might hold up better after Taco Tuesday

[@dcrog69]

For cordless tools on the cheap I've had good luck with Rigid. Not so much Ryobi.

[@agentcovert]

But is it made by TTI like like dozens of other brands perhaps?

[@okienative4785]

Yep

[@xraysteve]

I bought a Bostich set very similar to this, if not just colored differently. Mine has been very reliable. Found it brand new at a pawnshop of all places and paid $69. Came with a bag and two batteries.

[@OverNine9ousend]

Ah you have a case of extra pieces, happens to me all the time :D

[@swgeek4310]

I have used some decent Hart hand tools. They have a nice slim adjustable that has come in handy.

[@davidcannon2806]

Ain't Hart just Milwaukee but in a different location? Pretty sure TTI is behind them.

[@flyingbananapeel6495]

Yeah TTI makes them and they are based on the Ryobi line. Basically Ryobi with a different style battery.

[@intelligenceservices]

these kind of drills are almost modular, i think a lot of "off brand" power tools mix and match them. very little variation in the manufacturing from other of the same class tools i've seen. i think the manufacturers go to trade fairs and look at chucks and say 'that'll do', go to the trigger booth and see what the cheapest one is, etc.

[@Redsparrow12]

For some reason I went kobalt when they came out, Lowe's seems to still carry them and my 24 volt Kobalt has more torq-ue behind it than the cryobi. But I've definitely been curious about the Walmart brand stuff, good to know it's about what I expected

[@caodesignworks2407]

The Ryobi is only an 18v tool though. I'd hope the Kobalt at 24v has a bit more chooch in it

[@dcl97]

I don't own either, but I've used both on jobsites and Kobalt isn't bad at all. The Ryobi stuff always feels like every second it runs is on borrowed time.

[@TheBrokenLife]

@@dcl97 Accurate, but mine just keep borrowing more and more time. My drill from 2004 has literally been letting the smoke out for about 3 years now. Still makes holes. 🤷‍♂

[@6.liter-beater]

I've run kobalt for 4 years love them and haven't had any issues I mechanic a lot and do demolition derby and drag racing! Burnt up a few DeWalt but no kobalts yet!

[@haywirefarm]

@jakeryii the tube of you is showing you posted this comment 4 days ago! This video just came out. Tell us your time travel trickery.

[@alisterpeters7406]

Truth told I’ve got a few of these… Mcallister brand (UK) They are what they are… Cheap, and easily obtainable on from the local screwfix on the way to the job site, when you left your main tool at home on charge.

[@krenwregget7667]

this is why I always buy the best tool I can reasonably afford and only stick to established names, mostly Makita and Bosch. My dad likes to buy junk like this thinking he's getting a deal then I buy him a real one for Christmas and when he uses a good one finally realizes the quality difference.

[@snakerstran9101]

And then you get that gut ache when you find out your established name sold their soles to the CCP.

[@BOOT]

Got a few of their ratchet/socket sets for my indoor I don't wanna go outside and don't need anything good, home projects set. The living room HF woodtop white roller toolbox

[@RenThraysk]

The electric chainsaw is a rather refined package opener.

[@peacefrog0521]

I still miss the one a few years ago where he opened one with the Haas 😅

[@zeropoint546]

I was a scaffolder for 30 years and for the last 10 or so I carried Hart 21 ounce framing hammers exclusively. Yeah, they broke, but I regard hammers as a consumable when using Kwikstage type scaffolding. The flat claws were invaluable as a pick when creating level pads for soleboards on hillsides. Tried an Estwing. Almost as good for way more money.
