Don't forget to buy the battery adapter TTC mentioned! Though, your "Tired tools" might be more due to degrading battery (as they _always_ do) rather than the tool being "Old". Especially terrible with the lithium cells that'll get charged and discharged a dozen-hundred times before they elect to punch out early.

[@BlakeJoy]

@@bluephreakr Yeah I'll have to pick one of those up, I found out Klutch tools an exclusive tool from Northern Tools uses the same battery as the Hyper Tough. They have a 8ah battery for $90 shipped, I ordered one to see how that does on the mid and high torque compared to the oem 4ah. My old 4ah dewalt XR batteries have been going pretty good, one I've used way more than the other and I don't notice much difference between the two, good ol Japanese cells! I really think the hammer spring is getting weak, because it use to zip off lug nuts much faster.

I've heard that Klutch 20 volt battery are interchangeable with HyperTough and they offer 6AH and 8AH battery options.

I’m nearly certain it won’t last nearly as long as a high quality tool. But it doesn’t need to when you can buy 4 of them for the price of a high quality competitor. Matters even less when you consider these are marketed at home owners and other non-pros. We’re never going to wear these things out.

It doesn't really matter what/who you have "piles" of batteries for. This includes a battery and charger at that price, and one that even if not the greatest, still performs quite well. But what would Ryobi "stepping up" entail? The PBLIW01 is already shorter, lighter, and [very] slightly above this on the average power across runs category, as shown at @08:18 . The Ryobi has been as cheap as $169 IIRC as a kit (with a similar 4Ah battery and charger) on multiple occasions before (though not right now), which is still significantly more expensive than this. So what else can they do to step up other than dump the price? But trust me, you're *not* going to see Ryobi "stepping up" by offering that same kit for $80, if that's what you're thinking?

[@eastalhijet4481]

Lol, just did a search for Ryobi to Hypertough adapters - and will get one since i'm knee deep in the 4AH Ryobis that HD would have deals on every holiday. I like some of the more novel/niche ryobi stuff (inflators especially) but the HT is now my go to for auto work.

So crazy. I figured MAYBE Bauer high torque numbers. Proving to everyone we've been overpaying for these impacts for a while now.

[@DG-kk5pm]

I need to make a personal testament to this tool. #1 I am not a very smart man. I used this high torque to take off a fly wheel or harmonic balancer? off a Honda 3.5L engine. Which is supposed to be hard to do. It took it off after a few seconds. Next I finished the job and impacted bolt back on the cam shaft. This is where I messed up. I hit it a little too long several times because there was a gap between the cam shaft and the wheel of some sort. However that gap was supposed to be there and I didnt know. Anyways it snapped off the grade 8 bolt connecting the wheel to the cam shaft.. It had soo much power it sheared that bolt off in an ugly way and not cleanly either. I had to use a bunch of tools including a cobalt bit to drill into the bolt and an extractor tool. It finally came out after some fidgiting. So in short. Use with caution. If you are unexperienced like me, use it only to take things off ONLY, DO NOT Tighten with this thing use a torque wrench. Also the battery only lasts about a day working on 1 or 2 cars. Not for long term commercial use unless you have alot of batteries. Some people said the Hyper tough batteries were fake and had lead weights. I opened the pack and it had real cells in them. For $100 its a great tool. I only use it to take off bolts I cant take off with hand tools.

[@Engineerd3d]

I picked up their 1/2 inch impact based on this channel. For a weekend warrior it’s allot of tool for the price. For me it will be used for lug nuts etc. works well.

How many times can they overheat before total failure? Etc The reason the HT drills don't offer anything bigger than a 6ah pack could be market positioning, or it could be because they don't want you using their drills THAT much without some kind of breather, or maybe they just didn't want to design a housing that could reliably stand the added weight... etc etc It may help put some disparities in context between brands

@AG-eb8yy honestly it might have been black friday/cyber Monday. Also I'm ITC member, so that might have helped.

[@GrabLifeByDaPoosy]

I bought a Hercules Gen 1 Ultra Torque on clearance when they came out with Gen 2. It also happened to be on a weekend where ITC members could get 40% off. I believe i paid around $90 out the door. Only difference in models were looks and maybe 100ft lb of torque. 1400ft is more than enough for me. Lol The difference in torque and build quality was shown to either be the same or negligible right here on this channel after he broke it open to look at internal components.

[@joshcrockett57]

Be interesting to see what the warranty process is. Do you just take back to store and how do they know if you are inside the 3 yr? Does it go by manufacturer date like Milwaukee if you don't keep your receipts for 5 years

[@Clockwork0nions]

yeah. I had one of their batteries fail on me and all I did was take it to customer service and went and picked a new one off of the shelf.

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

I've got red stuff already but I could see having a truck box with the big hyper tough in it for lug nuts or other field repairs you wouldn't want expensive red or yellow stuff to be stolen from random tweakers...

[@robert4676]

That is genius! I bet plastering some HyperTough stickers on my truck would be enough to deter even the most desperate tweaker.😂

[@wildbill23c]

My thoughts as well...a cheap throw it in the truck tool bag is always very useful....especially if you go to pick a part yards.

[@dwightvoeks9970]

That's what I'm thinking. It's pretty much the only thing I don't already own

[@bestbattle]

Some repairability score would be nice. It's easy to open, but can you find parts? Are they affordable?

[@P0licywonk]

Their 12v ratchet is primo for $40. I did brakes, exhaust, shocks, and a starter on my Volvo 244 over the last weekend, and it was indispensable.

[@createproduce1222]

If I'm seeing this right, the HT high torque is giving the 3/4" EWORK (at 861 15-second ft-lbs, if I remember correctly) a run for its money. And that's a difference of $99 vs $269.

[@refactorear]

13:10 As a suggestion, it would be cool to also mention how repair-friendly these are during your disassembling, like here you can see the cables glued to the controller which means you would have to replace everything if the trigger and the stator are also glued, whether there is a parts diagram or not (or if the parts got numbers printed on them), if the bearing have a brand name or are generic Chinese ones, if they have a fuse to prevent blowing up the controller or not, etc, etc). I guess most of the in-house (Harbour Freight / Wallmart / etc) aren't repairable at all but sometimes they offer certain small kits with o-rings and stuff to fix certain problems. While it's probably not as important for people up there with their 3-5 years warranty it's kind of important for people buying those tools from other countries.

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

I mean in most cases Milwaukee isn't cost effective to repair either and on most cases same for Dewalt.. makita , hikoki/metabo , a bosch different story . Dean Doherty does tool repairs here on KZbin and he 99% of the time has to send Milwaukee a d Dewalt back unfixed as they only sell electrical parts as one solid unit and in most cases cost more then just buying a new tool

[@CalebsCars]

Imagine buying a tool for the average home owner less than 100$ thinking they’re going to take it apart and repair it 😂

[@OtisFlint]

@@CalebsCars Exactly, what a goofy post. It's either warranty or trash can, nobody is going to start welding and soldering components in their bargain priced impact wrench.

[@refactorear]

@@CalebsCars Wasn't a suggestion for this particular tool but for others like Dewalt and Milwaukee as well.

Holy heck, that run with the dewalt pack is mad! I’m in aus but travel to the us a lot. Tempted to pick one of these up and just run it on dewalt stuff since the charger won’t work here

[@grumblycurmudgeon]

Look, I know you guys are the _Torque_ Test Channel. I know you're running outta an automotive shop, and the things you prioritize are thusly automotive-related. But - and I say this as a HUGE fan that _habitually_ refers to your charts when making tool purchasing decisions - I'm a woodworker. I'd give a pretty to see you guys do some saws (bandsaws? Chops saws? Hell, cut-off tools?), some _sanders_ (even if it's just of the body-work variety? Orbitals? Details?), and/or even some material-handling gear. I respect that things like jointers/planers, or table saws, or routers are outside your scope. And that's cool. May as well test things you can USE in the shop (those you don't test to destruction), but, and I say this as a genuine TTC-head, you guys are one of the VERY few channels I actually _trust,_ and I'd be over the moon to see some additional cross-discipline tool tests.

"I know you're running outta an automotive shop" and considering at least the narrator work for Astro Pneumatic Tools, a penchant for things automotive and light industrial is somewhat understandable. Heck, they have done cordless circular saws, drills and lot of flashlights so they do branch out a bit.

[@grumblycurmudgeon]

@@michaelkrenzer3296 Oh, i know it. And make no mistake: I've nothing but respect and love for the TTC crew, and I'd watch them stress test a _mattress_ to destruction.

I'll take a look; thank you for the suggestion!

[@ClassicActWorkshop]

I recently shared a video at-home testing the HT impact driver vs Ryobi brushless and a newer SeeSii. My ranking gave the nod to SeeSii over HT with Ryobis last. Might be worth checking out the SeeSii in the future.

[@MacAutoDiag]

Dang Walmart has stepped up their game! I'm a shop owner and I think I'm gunna try this new hyper tough line!!

[@Steven-gv1ke]

As much as they are strong, I'm going to bet if you drop it 40 times on a concrete shop floor, it's probably going to break. I'll bet the red, blue and yellow ones don't. Now if the durability is the same (doubtful), then it's a green light all the way. These would be good for a weekend wrench warrior though. Just not sure they are "shop worthy" yet.

[@MacAutoDiag]

@Steven-gv1ke bruh just say you're a hater and move on lol I love how these videos trigger all of these Milwaukee and DeWalt boot lickers 🤣 hilarious!

[@wildbill23c]

For the price, why not. Whatever tools fail, buy a better brand to replace them...that's kind of what I've done over the years....start with the cheaper stuff, and whatever breaks I replace it with a better tool, if it hasn't broken, I either don't use it enough, or its a decent tool...err...or both HAHA!!!

[@richardbloss7784]

As a guy who is still building his tool set as he goes, I'm glad I found these videos. Invested (slightly) in the m12 platform but for larger tools I was still looking. Going with Hypertough for the larger tools, am hoping larger/better battery packs are released but good news that the dewalt adapter is out there and the tool is apparently bottlenecked by the HT batteries.

[@grumblycurmudgeon]

Hey, don't knock the M12's. For your average consumer who's not trying to break lug nuts or cinch down engine blocks, they're likely all you'll need. A huge number of woodworking tasks are more than satisfied by them, too. I'm a largely Yellow guy, but I found an M12 set a few years back for like $350 on Black Friday outta the Depot that came with seriously 10 tools (driver, drill, bandsaw, both ratchets, oscillator, soldering iron, 23ga pin nailer, and a handful more that are escaping me at the moment - blower? Light? The BS ones) along with like 6 batteries (3 2AH and 3 4AH), and I reach for them more often than I thought I would. They're great, lightweight, inexpensive, durable little tools. And their 4-port charger (which charges one at a time XD) is only $99. I mean, I wouldn't try to mix a bucket of mud with em, or change the lugs on my truck, but if I'm tacking some ply down, or chamfering holes, or don't wanna swap the drill bit for the driver bit, or need to cut some pipe, or trim off some excess overhang, they're fantastic. And they are crazy, almost comically-lightweight. Not saying Imma forego my Dewalts for anything serious, but for a near-full-set for less than $500 that'll serve for 90+% of activities AND my wife can use? You can do a LOT worse.

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

I would go with the Hercules impact line. Very affordable with a 5 year warranty plus very durable. Had mine over two years now and use them everyday as a diesel mechanic

[@wildbill23c]

@@grumblycurmudgeon I just picked up the Milwaukee M12 1/2" Hammer Drill and the 1/4" impact driver kit with 2 batteries and a charger for $179 seems like a very nice starter kit, and a compact hammer drill seems like a nice add to my tool collection, sometimes that huge hammer drill is a bit overkill LOL. I do a lot of small DIY wood working projects and I think the M12 tools will work extremely well for that. Sometimes you actually can have too much power LOL....like driving a screw clear through your project HAHA!! I see nothing wrong with these M12 tools...and might just pickup a few others along the way, why not its not like I'm tied to a single platform....I have Ryobi 4V USB, 18V, 40V, as well as Ridgid 18V, Bauer 20V, and Hercules 20V....so I mean what's another battery/tool platform HAHA!! The way I look at it is it gives me leverage to by whatever tool brand happens to have the tool I need on sale at the time, rather than having to fork out whatever a single platform has that probably isn't on sale LOL.

Dear @torquetestchannel, could you do a testing the effect of grease vs no grease on different fasteners? Maybe amount or type of lubrication used and the effect on forces such as torque,clamping force, and at what indicated torque the greased fastener breaks at if ungreased torque spec is "X" Thanks.

Klutch has a 6 and 8ah battery that is compatible with hyper tough tools. Would you be able to test those batteries?
