good review that 6.0 really adds some power. Do the $99 high torque impact sometime it would be nice to see a review on it.

@zacksintheshop 2 ай бұрын

I am redoing my hydraulic force gauge so I can test stronger impacts. I will do the high torque when able.

I just bought the router on clearance for $20. I also got the Gen 1 wrench and a 4AH and used it on a brake job and it was great. I learned that they came out with a Gen 2 for cheaper and included the 4AH so I returned the 1 and picked up the Gen 2. Will definitely pick up the 6AH for doing more auto work with the wrench. Great video!

Dose the Gen 2 fill like it's got more power I know the Gen one says 280 ft Pounds and the Gen 2 is 225ft pounds but dose it fill any difference

@FacilitiesDIY 2 ай бұрын

@@derekbelcher6885 I haven’t gotten to use the Gen 2 yet. The thing about the gen 1 is the torque specs were “hyper-inflated” and in reality the tool isn’t hitting anywhere close to 280. They realized how outlandish that claim was compared to how it was actually performing and dropped the claim down to something more realistic. Now, if the gen 2 gets no more power and it just gets a new speed mode plus 4AH kit for cheaper than the gen 1 kit, then it’s still a win. But if it can actually get close to its new more realistic torque claim. Then it would be the best $50 I think anyone could ever spend on a power tool.

There is a ton of great clearance stuff right now as Walmart is introducing the new tools. I bought a grinder kit for $30 yesterday. That kit has a 4 AH battery which sells for over $50 by itself.

@@zacksintheshop Picked up the Brushless 3/8 Impact Wrench for $20 in the clearance isle! Any recommendations for serviceable, cheap impact sockets? Mostly just going to use it for occasional oil change, lawn mower maintenance, or perhaps driving a double handful of timber screws from time to time.

It seems like there is a resurgence in interest in the HT 12v system. I didnt know they came out with 6ah battery. Good on HT for adding to the line. Did yiu see theybadded a die grinder to the line. That seems like a handy tool in the 12v system. Great video!!

Good review!!! I found out you can’t mount a mailbox with the 2ah M-12 Milwaukee. After we retrieved our mailbox after the flood I had to attach it to the side of our pedestrian bridge since we have very little main road left and at that time no driveway . I had to get my bigger 5ah battery as the small one gave up after a couple of lags The Hyper tough line is getting more and more impressive!

@@kg4mucI just keep the 2.0 and 1.5 m12 batteries as dedicated lighting and heated gear power supplies. Anything in the fuel line gets a 2.5 or higher for the added power (the big power consumers like the vacuum is getting a 4.0 minimum).

Walmart just updated the 3/8 impact wrench. It now has a 2 mode option and comes with the 4.0 battery and fast charger. Curious if there is a difference between the old 3/8 and the new. The torque ratings dropped from 280 to 225.

Great video man. I gotta pick me up a 6 ah now or two haha. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the new 12v die grinder. I know you said you was interested in it. I used mine to clean up an old vise and was very impressed with it and a 1.5 battery. I would also be interested in seeing a video comparing the new 3/8 impact with the two settings vs the old one. Thanks for great content

Having used Skil 12v as well, what do you think is a better 12v line between that and Hyper Tough? Value and performance wise.

Skil has better performance, although I have had some failures in my Skil stuff. I would almost go tool by tool with those two brands.

I've been thinking of getting a cordless ratchet and impact wrench for working on my car. So I've been weighing my options: These Hyper Tough 12v tools that seem to be getting popular lately Harbor Freight Hercules 12v because I already got their 12v screwdriver with battery and charger. *or* just making do with hand ratchets, a dewalt impact driver in place of a wrench, and my bauer corded impact for the tougher bolts.

@rallaa941 @I’m a rental fleet tech and I decided to go with Hercules power tools for work. I think I made the best choice possible for me. With the 5 year tool and 3 year battery warranty and working on heavy equipment I should have free tools for life after the initial purchase. Harbor freight is 3 blocks down the road when I break something The ratchet is next on my list!

i have a few of the hyper tough 12v. i actually remodeled my home with them just to see if they could do the job. ( i did use my makita for sheet rock screws just because it was so much faster). i have been eyeballing the 6ah batteries but after watching this i am not sure there is enough of a difference to justify the price over the 4ah.
