Milwaukee vs Hercules

The showdown between the top dawg m18 impact driver and the budget friendly Hercules impact driver is here. Who wins?

I wouldn't bother for that 30% saving. If you just walk into the store there might be a 2-300% price difference. But order them online for pretty much the same price.

30% saving? Hercules is 70$ bare while milwaukee is twice as much. I'm not even talking about charger and batteries that are much cheaper for the hercules. Hercules is a bit more powerful, but milwaukee is faster, higher RPM and IPM, so milwaukee will tackle more stuff faster but hercules will be able to deal with tighter stuff.

@@bleyz3557 I just looked at 4 large sites. Found one m18 for 110 and one for 103. Yes the hercules is cheap all the time, but you could easily find deals for big brands as well.

the hercules impact is awesome especially for the price but my favorite impact right now is the dewalt dcf 845 i go back and forth between the 845 and the flex quick eject

Also some great impacts as well

2904-20 Milwaukee drill would put them both to shame on these tasks, in my opinion. I only say that because I have both.

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

Idk if it would, I broke the 2904-20 right out of the box the clutch slipped or something

[@jeffh7021]

@@Kaleb_RoSs that sucks! I wonder what happened.

While the Hercules is awesome and less expensive, it’s hard to switch lineups if youre already invested in Milwaukee. I think Milwaukee makes incredible and reliable tools, but Hercules is giving them a run.

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

I like and use Milwaukee tools for work everyday BUT my gen 4 hammer drill broke right after I unboxed it so I was a little disappointed by that…

[@derekp6636]

battery lockin is a thing, everytime I think about switching I to milwaukee I remember i have to rebuy the batteries.

Very impressive from Hercules. 💯 While Milwaukee is the King of power tools for its consistency, quality and longevity; It sure benefits us to know there are more than good enough competition worthy brands available. Hercules is no joke. 💯
