Bauer can’t be beat for the price and selection, but the Hercules 5 year warranty has me grabbing them for work where I use them every day. Up to 11 Herc tools and 8 or 9 Bauers? No issues using and abusing either.
I bought some Hercules tools because of some videos I saw on the new brushless ones. I never understood the warranty tho, I thought that was like an optional thing?
@@n2o07annexodius7 The optional extended warranty is on the Bauer where you can pay extra if you want but Hercules now has really good warranties that come with the product purchase of their tools.
Would be cool to see if you could mix the clam shells together
Congrats on the 1K!
Great video, looking forward to the 3/8 comparison!
Thank you for this! I will look forward to the 3/8 comparison!
I wonder how often HF switches to a new vendor for manufacturing? I'm sure most of there impacts are made under the same roof, but I dont know if they then go behind different doors for assembly.
The Bauer casing is marked, it’s to the left of the recycling marking. Stamped vertically inside the thin groove. I believe it says GF30 but the video is a little blurry
Good eye haha i couldnt find it
Interesting comparison, maybe the motor is a little smaller because they advertise the Bauer being a little less powerful? Also, any chance you could get the new Bauer cut off tool? Would love to see a review on it from you
I will try and get it this weekend lol they dont have it at my local harbor freight
Good stuff man! Keep grinding
thanks mike!
Please keep making these videos!
Hercules will need to come down in price or people with buy the Bauer due to its lower price over the Hercules.
the good thing about the hercules is the 5 year warranty
The Hercules does down in price every so often, I'd say the $20 difference is worth the slight performance increase, if you use these tools a lot.
@@ThePainkiller3666 Hercules wont go away as they have the 12v line in addition to the 18v line, these two are the competition towards the name brands. But HF needs to keep the Hercules tools torque ratings above any Bauer tools, or de-tune the Bauer tools so they are more of a diy'er, weekend warrior line. The Hercules line is HF's "professional" line. They just need to keep the quality and torque ratings above the Bauer line across the board for automotive tools: ratchets, impacts, etc.
Doing the lords work here
Cool video man I've been wondering what was really the difference between Bauer and Hercules myself as well because the Hercules typically costs quite a bit more usually but not always but it has a much better warranty but besides that they look the same except the brand name and the color obviously even though the people in the stores will tell you that the Hercules is made better and will last longer they don't give any details why specifically but from your video above they look basically just about the same so thanks for making the video and it would be cool if you could compare other different types of tools between the Bauer and Hercules or even other tool brands as well!
Ya i want to get more tools to review it just gets expensive lol
Thank you for this!
The hercules has a bigger field, bigger armature, more powerful motor otherwise the same except a better case. Makes sense actually hercs do outperform bauer.
Thanks
Great 🎥 Brother 👍😎
Notice they come out with the Bauer brushless first...like testing the design, then beef it up a little and release it under Hercules name a few months later.
hercules came out a year before the bauer
Got to get you a ring light for your phone. It comes with the ring light, tripod and phone holder. $18 on Amzn
Could u link it to me lol
@@toolsonabudget7763 Search Amz for Ubeesize 12" ring light with phone holder and tripod. $17
Search that on Amz
@@toolsonabudget7763 I use a 10" Ubeesize ring light. It's worked pretty good holding my phone and shooting a video
@@toolsonabudget7763 Were you able to find the Ubeesize ring light on Amz?
I have the Hercules Ultrahigh torque and I love that thing, it's done everything I've asked of it but this compact version is seriously underpowered. I tried removing the lugs on a Honda Fit (only tool on me, no lug wrench) and it took a literal minute per lug to remove the tire, I tried removing some 17mm bolts off my civic (suspension work/tranny removal) and it failed 4/5 bolts.
Don't get me wrong, I love having a small dedicated impact but knowing it's limitations I use it mainly on my motorcycles or bolts that are 14mm and under. That being said I highly doubt it reaches 555ft/lbs breakaway torque.
Something must have been wrong with your tool or the lugnuts could've been rusted or over torqued.
Definitely not 555 ft/lbs of breakaway torque but passenger car lugnuts rarely exceed 100 ft/lbs factory spec.
I would try to get the tool replaced. Even my Bosch Freak (155 ft/lbs) could do that. It does my Ram 1500 lugnuts just fine
I’m sure glad I got the

@@terrellscaife2411 no doubt, but sometimes we don't have the luxury to carry around a compressor for that joint. I got the ultra high torque now so it's all good.
“It probably even had like a year of development, whoever made this tool”..”maybe”..”eh probably less” 🤣😂🤣😂💀💀💀
