Is Harbor Freight CHIEF Air Hammer JUNK ???

Picked up the Harbor Freight Chief Professional Long Barrel Air Hammer CH401LB a couple weeks ago ( link below for that video ) and WOW what a beast compared to my old Napa / Sunex Heavy Duty 250 mm Long Barrel Air Hammer SX243. Night and day difference and as shown in this test

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

They make some good stuff for sure. I have been happy with every tool from them so far.

[@CountryMileGarage]

I'm pretty sure that all my air tools are HF and so far so good with 0 complaints ... thank you for watching Jimmy

[@eastcoastken]

Wow Theo that was impressive. Alot of HF tools like this have been impressive lately.

[@CountryMileGarage]

Thank you Ken and thank you for watching

[@greasee.monkey7224]

That was an impressive win for the Harbor Freight air hammer. I have a Snap-on air hammer, but a comparison test may be in order.👍👍

[@CountryMileGarage]

It's just redneck science for fun but it would make for a good video ... thank you for watching

[@billbeckett1021]

I have owned my Snap On for over 30 years and only had it serviced once. Someday I will need a replacement and I will be giving the Chief a close look. Thanks Theo!

[@CountryMileGarage]

Thank you for watching Bill. This was just for fun and to show that there's a difference between one and the other lol

[@JohnQuePublic903]

OK, The Sunex is a great hammer, yet this one sounded choked down, like maybe the regulator on the handle was turned down to slow the air flow. They certainly sounded different. The Chief is a great hammer for sure. Just not convinced on the validity of this test.

[@CountryMileGarage]

Never said the Sunex was not a great hammer have used it for years. It was not choked down the Chief is just more powerful and it was just a simple test nothing more ... thank you for watching

[@JohnQuePublic903]

@@CountryMileGarage Alright then. Maybe the mic picked up different, just sounded wayyy different. I plan on picking up the chief for my home garage.

[@mlieser1230]

The difference between the Chief and Napa/Sunex is like night and day for sure. I just may have to give the Chief a go. I've seen those Flexzilla hoses and wondered if they were any good. The threaded ends looked like they were aluminum. They were black in color and not brass like I'm used to seeing on typical air hoses.

[@CountryMileGarage]

This video was fun to make for sure LOL. The Flexzilla hose is awesome I have a couple that are over 10 years old no dry rot and still going strong and I never had a problem with them at all ... or local Napa sells Flexzilla fittings and hose so you can custom make whatever you want. Thank you for watching

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Very well done test, iv been looking to replace my old craftsman and now know which way I may go

[@CountryMileGarage]

That Chief is a beast for sure and worth looking into without blowing a hole in your wallet ... thank you for watching Adam

[@jefffrayer8238]

OMG, just came home with the Chief and haven't tried it yet. $140 + $40 for Chief chisel bit set. I thought driving those nails would be super easy for any air chisel and can't believe those results. What an eye opener and certain I made a great choice. I thought any air chisel could pound those nails easily. I won't be using it often but I need something strong to loosen Gland Nuts and driving cylinder pins out of my J.D. 310C Backhoe plus much more. Getting older and need good tools instead of muscle now. Thanks for the great video.

[@CountryMileGarage]

Been using the Chief for a while now and I'm still impressed with it, for the money it is hard to beat imo. I had fun making this video and thought it really shows the difference in air hammers LOL ... thank you for watching

[@handsonmechanical]

Impressive, I borrowed a Mac airhammer recently to remove seized brake shoe pins on a semi trailer, sure saved my bacon 🥓 😅

[@CountryMileGarage]

It's impressive for sure ... thank you for watching

[@dustinguy101]

I just bought this for some bushings on my explorer. One heck of a tool that’s for sure.

[@CountryMileGarage]

Yes sir it packs a punch for sure lol ... thank you for watching

[@oby-1607]

I think the first two air hammers were driving into knots in the wood and the Chief was driving into rotten wood. No, seriously, great comparison and I will be running down to Harbor Freight to get a Chief air hammer. Thanks for sharing.

[@CountryMileGarage]

LOLOL I thought it really showed a good difference between the two ... I feel the HF Chief is a solid option especially for the money ... thank you for watching

[@victorp7555]

I thought that at first too, but you can hear the beats are not the same, that Napa is worn out badly

[@Toolaholic7]

I have the Matco MT2816,a bit breaker and is a beast as well.

[@CountryMileGarage]

Would be cool to try it and run a couple nails in with that ... thank you for watching

[@Kyle_almighty1]

Wow that chief one is amazing!!

[@CountryMileGarage]

It's a great air hammer only thing that could be better is the trigger control ... thank you for watching

[@patcb829]

I look forward to your next video, when you show us how to sharpen a chainsaw blade after it hits metal in a log. See you tomorrow night.

[@CountryMileGarage]

LOL stay tuned it would be a good video, that log is just a door stop LOL ... thank you for watching

[@gilmansgarage6341]

You definitely needed an air hammer..well now you can use that Napa for night work , won't wake anyone up with that..😂✌..enjoyed the demo block..not sure I want to try to remove them nails..😬

[@CountryMileGarage]

The difference is big and puts the one to shame for sure. That block is a door stop so I'm not worried about them nails LOL ... thank you for watching

[@V8SKULLS]

I've been told the HF Chief, is exactly as the MAC, when you know you Know

[@CountryMileGarage]

Yes I have seen that the only difference is the trigger LOL ... thank you for watching

[@biggiefitz6275]

The Chief kicked the shit out of the Sunex. Hands down.

[@CountryMileGarage]

First time using the Chief it scared me a little bit because I was used to the Napa LOL but this puts it into perspective LOL ... thank you for watching

[@nickhildabridle1612]

😮😮😮

[@CountryMileGarage]

LOL ... thank you for watching Nick

[@pl5624]

And the sad thing is the napa is probably 2 x 3 times the price..

[@CountryMileGarage]

Yes the Napa is about $50 more I believe ... thank you for watching

[@george-corrigan]

I dont like that you failed to hammer in the two remaining nails. Wood can be different. Can have rotting or knots in it. It would have been nice to see the chief finish the other nails.

[@CountryMileGarage]

I'll keep that in mind for the next time ... thank you for watching

[@AlejandroMartinez-dh1on]

👍👍👍😃
