HART 20-Volt 1/2" Impact Wrench Review - 350 ft-lbs [FROM WALMART]

[@andrewkurz8596]

*Good **MyBest.Tools** value compaired❣🤪😀🤪😊 to other brands*

[@JDCacioppo91]

As a former lube and tire guy at Firestone and a Chevrolet dealership, I would like to give everyone a little piece of advice. The technicians overtorque lug nuts all day long. So use a tire iron or a breaker bar to break your lug nuts free the first time. Then tighten them back on with the Hart impact wrench. I've seen technicians hammer them for 5 seconds or more, using a 1,400 ft. Lb. Matco air impact wrench or the Snap-On 700 ft. Lb. wrench, which is actually more powerful than the Matco I mentioned.

I have the Hart drill and impact with the quick connect on it that I use a lot of woodworking projects. They've been amazing and held up so well over the past year of hard abuse. The impact is quieter than my Craftman while offering the same power. Ive dropped the Hart impact from 15ft onto concrete 3 times and it hasnt broken or shown any damage. I think theyre great tools for DIY people overall.

[@charleslane2735]

Hart is also made by tectronic industries like ryobi and Milwaukee,so yes it should hold up just fine.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

charles Lane27 Correct. TTi is the mother ship for Milwaukee, Ryobi, Ridgid power tools, Hart, and more.

[@mustangmadd3172]

I do understand what you're, and I am in no way dissing you or the comment you made. But however it's almost like saying Chevy makes a Corvette, as well as a chevette. But do you see the thing they're those two cars manufactured by the same company are two completely different qualities. Everyone has a high-end and a low end on their brand

[@jessihawkins9116]

I thought the walmart made them 😕

[@pureblood6310]

I have the 1/4” driver not brushless and it takes my 3/4” lug nuts off my car!

[@loganries7066]

[@user-pi5xu7qs7n]

Great and practical review. You kept perspective on the target group of people who will be buying the tools and that is great. I just purchased their brushless driver and drill and am pleased.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.

[@JasperJames0912]

Fantastic review in my opinion. You definitely sold the product for me, great job!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.

[@eminiscalperpro9729]

Picked one of these up new w/4.0ah battery for 69$. That's a great deal, I don't care what 1/2 impact you compare it to!

[@garagekeys]

Yes just got one with 4ah battery for $50 at the pawn shop

[@bryanyoung2963]

The one thing I really like about Hart cordless tools is the color white, blue and black underneath the hood of a car or a truck That thing's going to stick out like a sore thumb, no chance of losing it.

[@jayverse177]

Honestly if Hart could make a 20v nail gun then they really been in business.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That would be interesting if they did this. Thanks for watching.

[@Koolblue900]

They just released one now

[@dman3349]

“Nut-Busting” Torque, LOVE IT! 😂

[@Shoptoolreviews]

We report the facts.😂 Thanks for watching and for commenting.

[@simplysimple7628]

Descent tools. If you’re a home owner/hobbyist these line of tools are just fine. Ridgid makes some amazing tools for the price. Crazy reliability and power. I’ve had my tools for years and years. Still going. Also ryobi has been stepping it up too. All in all, hart has some good stuff.

[@theindooroutdoorsman]

These are made by the same company that makes Rigid, Milwaukee and Ryobi. TTI.

[@deemack3719]

I'M GETTING IT JUST FROM THIS PRODUCT REVIEW‼️👍💪

[@mattalford3932]

They have this, the drill, a light, reciprocating saw and 2 batteries with a quick charger for 138 dollars at Walmart. I'm gonna go pick a set up right now lol.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

It's hard to beat that price. Thanks for watching.

[@jjrock5]

I only see the bundle which includes the 1/4” impact DRIVER for $138 on Walmart.com Have a link for the bundle that has this 1/2” impact wrench?

[@18winsagin]

I don't work on heavy equipment any longer, but I remember the 5 foot pipes and 1inch breaker bar days and a 5 gallon bucket of impact wrenches in the scrap pile that the new guys came on with haha , times have changed for the better just wish it would have been 22 years sooner, maybe my hands wouldn't hurt opening a pill bottle 😝

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Wow, it sounds like you have some stories. Thanks for watching.

[@Neopiece007]

Awesome Review! Just Bought One Now! Appreciate It!😎🔥

[@ilovesunoco]

I have all the drills and saws from Hart they're great tools.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Awesome. Glad you are having success with them. They offer some great deals with a good warranty.

[@eminiscalperpro9729]

When you can now get these for about 65-70$ new online, they are very good value, if you already have a battery / charger

[@ranchotools]

This brand its not bad at all for home owners, my dad have a impact whench been holding up very good

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Excellent! It's a great impact for a homeowner. Thanks for watching and for commenting.

[@RR-tq4sn]

I agree with both of you. I'm actually using an impact driver of that brand for a remodelation and it has been like three months or four months and it still working strong. Good for my budget. I'm looking forward to black Friday specials. They always introduce some sets. Will see... Shop tool review, excellent video by the way. Thanks

[@rosshernandez6665]

Great Info.. Really appreciate the insight and specs findings. This will be part of my new Truck and RV Toolkit for just in case situations..

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Glad it was helpful! It's hard to beat it for the price. Thanks for watching

[@Ozzypup1]

I want to see it do some work on some nice rusty parts like you find on cars here in Michigan.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

We can definitely show it on rusty bolts, but there is no way to replicate rusty bolts. One rust bolt may require double the power to remove as the next rusty bolt. This is why we like to use a bench test, so we can replicate the same force each time. However, we understand what you're talking about, wanting to see real-world application. Thanks for watching.

[@PeelyB810SG]

I swear it works did my wheel hub assembly with them I live in north Michigan 2007 mercury mountaineer and my girls 2007 g6 change her whole suspension

[@IntentionallyLeftBlank.]

You are definitely right sir, my rusty bolt may not be the same as your rusty bolt. Or even the next guy's 🤣🤣🤣🤫

[@crystalyoung5253]

why not torque the nut to 350 foot pounds an c if the impact driver can take it off?

[@garagekeys]

Warp the rotors or wheels

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

Thank you @ MAKITA for complete kit that comes with 2 batteries and the charger, also a nice bag. Not sold separately

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Can't argue with that. Thanks for watching.

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

No problem. It was recommended. I have the new Milwaukee 90 1/2 impact. Semi impressed, but everything sold separately. There is something terribly wrong in the market group/ corporate

[@tj5743]

I really liked that video. I would like to see what you think of the 3/8 inch impact gun and see if you think it's worth the money.

[@jerryrivera1285]

I have a question I bought this tool and the 4 piece tool kit my impact wrench turns off and won't turn on will 2 min later I'm using the small battery could it be the battery not that powerful 🤔

[@martinlyons7373]

Thanks , another great review 👍👍👍

I must have a bad one.Had to loosen drive shaft bolts by hand It still won't back them out. The bolt threads been soaking in penetrating oil.

[@earlgallup5223]

Nothing better once you've had the best

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thanks for watching.

[@geoffstone9555]

Not all of us can afford to try different brands of cordless tools to compare. Would you give a recommendation of Hart 20v over Rigid 18v?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Which Ridgid 18V? They have more than 1. I would probably recommend the Ridgid anyway, but it typically has a higher price tag. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ghettmods9859]

I say if your going for torque go with ridgid 1/2 its still lower priced compared to others and performs very good. I own ridgid but the missus just picked up a 4 PC hart combo kit with 4 bay charger, vaccum, rotary tool, and tire inflator for $109 the charger is $125 alone!

[@mrdeanv4414]

Does the Hart 4 amp battery require a different charger?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

No, the same charger will work. Thanks for watching.

[@thoughtsfromaidiot5928]

Cool thing with hart is you can find sales all the time. I bought a trimmer with battery and charger for $3 more than just buying a charger.

[@mattmgarza]

Did he make an error in the calculation? He said it takes about 80% of the torque to loosen versus to fasten, correct? Then he took the average fastening torque, divided by .8, and called that number the fastening torque. 9:15 Wouldn't that be the breakaway torque instead?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Nope, our math was correct. If you tighten a fastener as tight as you can, then you remove it with a torque wrench. If it took 100 ft-lbs to remove, then you know that it took about 125 ft-lbs to get it that tight (100 / .80 = 125). The fastening torque is 125 ft-lbs. Thanks for watching.

[@tg8150]

.8 IS 80% doofus. 🙄

[@wemcal]

Great video and information... it works

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thank you very much.

[@Clare.1985]

For the money it takes starting fresh to build this kit, you're not in the d-i-y/ homeowner price. You're pushing into a milwaukee fuel mid torque kit or not far from it. For $199 RIGHT NOW at home depot you can buy the milwaukee FUEL mid torque 1/2 impact wrench KIT with two 2ah batteries and a charger.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I see your point, that the dollars can creep up, but I think you are mistaking the Milwaukee Tools. You may be talking about the M12 Stubby impact with 2.0 Ah batteries. You can't get the Mid-Torque in a kit with 2.0 Ah batteries, and you definitely can't get the mid-torque in a kit for $199. Let us know the details. Thanks for watching.

[@Clare.1985]

@@Shoptoolreviews no sir. At the time of writing that comment. Exactly what I had wrote was on sale at my local home depot for the price I wrote. It might not be at this time I haven't looked but it was when I wrote it. I'm not tied to any particular brand of tool. If the warranty is good and it performs well I will happily buy it regardless of brand. I do like milwaukee but only the fuel line. Hand tools my tool box is a mutt. My only requirement for hand tools is a lifetime warranty. Anyway. Thanks for the video and for the reply. I've been watching your channel for a while. Love it.

[@georgegarcia7932]

Hey boss! Do you think a 20V will work on rusty tire bolts? 🤔 or should I consider buying a stronger impact wrench?

[@51comets84]

It should. I just got the 4amp hour battery with the 1/2 impact wrench and it’s ripped everything I’ve put it up against off. Even really rusty bolts.

[@jeweldawson5668]

I just recently bought this & it won’t take the lugs off my car,idk if it’s the gun or the lugs..any assumptions??

[@Shoptoolreviews]

What kind of car do you have? I would highly assume that your lugs are tightened way too tight. If the tire store installed them, then they probably just put their air-impact on it and held it wide-open for 4-5 seconds. If it's a passenger car, then they should be torqued somewhere between ~85-110 ft-lbs, depending upon which manufacturer. Light trucks and SUVs are usually around 110-140 ft-lbs. The impact wrench should easily take those off. Let me know. Thanks for watching.

[@jeweldawson5668]

It’s a 2009 Kia Optima @shop tool reviews & ive gotten the lugs off before w/ a 4way tire iron

Hart is not Black & Decker. Hart is made by TTi, and Black & Decker is made by Stanley Black & Decker. Thanks for watching.

[@coletaylor832]

Not bad for breaking lugs loose on small and midsize cars. Even after being over torqued by the tire shop kids.

[@blessingjones8743]

better of getting the ridgid gen 5x or even the octane version for around $150 sometimes and its a brushless impact wrench with twice amount of breakaway and more fastening torque

That is a good point. The Ridgid impact is a great choice, if you can find it for a good deal. Thanks for watching.

[@bap757575]

I agree

[@srt4fan4u2]

I like ur reviews but don't trust ur torque measurement numbers. I have noticed your numbers are always way off other people's numbers who's are usually around the same. Not sure why but def noticed these for 5 tools so far

[@Shoptoolreviews]

The actual value of the number may be off a little one way or the other, but they don't fluctuate. That's what we strive for is to produce quantifiable, qualitative, and repeatable results in our testing. In other words, if we test a DeWalt impact 5 different times, our results should fall within a +/- 3% change. Thanks for watching.

[@bryansmith5980]

Automotive lugs nuts generally call for 75 - 80 ft lbs.

Depending on the manufacturer. Some are as high as 110 ft-lbs and light trucks are about 130 ft-lbs. Thanks for watching.

anyone that would but a power tool without a battery is just dumb! would you buy a new car or truck without a battery? i say yes they would because a car battery is cheaper than a power tool battery!

[@cri8tor]

I'd buy from Harbor Freight before even considering a tool purchase from a Walmart.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That's not an educated decision, but you're not necessarily wrong either. I wouldn't make a blanket statement that all HF power tools are better than all Hart power tools. At the same time, there are some HF power tools that are better. You just can't say always and never. Thanks for watching.

[@cri8tor]

@@Shoptoolreviews First, what is an educated decision? Second, you don't know the reasoning behind my comment, so you should ask before making blind assumptions. Last of all, I didn't make any claims that Harbor Freight tools are better. Maybe you should ask basic questions before launching into a defensive reply to a viewers comment. You come off as arrogant and ignorant.
