Mine has hyper tough battery tools proudly displayed. Hart in boxes here and there. I would never buy any of that crap. But sometimes when they are clearing hand tools out it's 50-75% off, like the pry bar set I picked up for 5$. If I didn't go there for dog goodies I would never know.
That's the post remodel look. Started rolling out about three years ago. Stores get remodeled every 5-10 years so in a few years most stores should have that.
This is my level for most of the things I do . My tool colors are orange , red (Wal-mart) and one 1/2 inch blue . The older I get the less I care about impressing anyone with brands . Excellent video .
Bear you killed it again… I use the hyper tuff pry bars professionally and they are worth every penny also the automotive clip removal tool is excellent as well
I bought a Hyper Tough 18v Cordless Drill about 4-5 years ago. It introduced me to the world of cordless tools. I've moved on to buy into the Skil 12v and Makita line tools. The Hyper Tough drill still works fine. I use it all the time for light use, as it does complain and is a bit slow and wimpy on the heavier tasks. I paid less than the $20 (with charger and battery), so I got more than my money's worth.
The slow and low power of that drill is good for some applications. I have a little old drill that I use all the time for electronics or other sensitive stuff. Impacts and 20v tools will destroy those things.
That small 12v drill with adjustable clutch is awesome!! I use it for fixing vacuum cleaners, electric leaf blowers and etc. I definitely love the clutch and I got it for $19!!
Thanks very much for the Walmart tool tour Jeff. I've never looked for tools there, but maybe I should start. Take a look anyway. You and your family have a great and safe week ahead! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Your Hart prices seem to be double what I have local. And my store seems to be phasing out their hyper tough line. Plus the Ollie’s in town has had Hart items in stock lately.
I picked up a used Hyper Tough hammer drill about a month ago. It's adequate when used with hex shank bits, but otherwise, the chuck is pretty close to useless on smaller bits. It has a bunch of clutch settings, but the chuck will let go long before you invoke the clutch. Still, for dirt cheap, it's better than I expected.
I switched from 20v black n Decker to hart. Been happy with the tools they are more robust. Had Milwaukee 12v system and was solid but underpowered for projects I got involved in. Best time to buy hart is in December.
The bins and shelving systems are made in Jefferson City, Mo or in the Ohio plant, I believe in Sycamore, by American Plastics. The Craftsman bins as well as the yellow lid bins at Lowe’s, Walmart and Sam’s are all made by American Plastics. I’ve loaded thousands of those things lol.
Hart was a good deal when they came out. I bought the biggest number of cordless tools they had in kit. For the price and the time no one could beat it. They are good tools I have used and abused them and all holding up fine. With their current prices and no new tool releases they are getting beat buy all the other companies.
Likewise I built up a Hart collection of about 15 20V tools and a slew of batteries. It's been over a year since I added to it. The tools I have work great and there's nothing new anyway. Besides, we all got use to the low intro prices or the closeout prices. And that's not easily found any more. Some Hart items are now at Ollie's, which is a good indicator of how well they didn't sell at Walmart. Ollie's is a frequent host for Walmart/Sams overstocks. The real deals on Hart right now are on Ebay and Mercari. Prices are still dirt cheap. Many items new in box. That's just how it is for now.
I do Audio/Video work and carry basic hand tools and AV adapters and converters. I use the Hart Rolling Locking system for my "Work Box". The 2 drawer cases are surprising sold and price to expand for other cases is good.
You’d be hard pressed to find any Hart stuff at the local Wally Worlds around here. And the Hypertough is about 10 feet of an aisle. And I was wondering not long ago if WM and Hart had parted company, since I’m finding more and more Hart stuff at Ollie’s.
I absolutely but some Hart and Hyper Tough items for one off uses or something I don't need "higher Quality" in. No power tools though it's all just hand tools and other small stuff. It's not often but I do it.
I’ve had all 3 lines. Hart, hyper tough 12v and 20v. I didn’t like how expensive hart was. It should be a little cheaper to be a better value. I ended up selling out of the line. The hyper tough 12v is great. Better than the 20v. But doesn’t have the tool selection of the 20v line. The 20v line is under powered. I think it’s due to the batteries being low quality. But it’s been a good line. You’ll definitely need a 4ah battery to use the circ saw.
That is the problem with Walmart, wrong stuff on the wrong priced shelf, go bring that to a worker's attention and you'll get, "The prices wrong on the shelves aren't my job" shit.
I also noticed that too a a few years ago, when Walmart began to sell Hart stuff & that the Hart pricing was relatively too high compared to other brand-name tools. I would rather just go buy cheaper alternatives. I don't care if Hart products are better quality, which I don't really know, but since I know how to repair tools, I would rather buy something cheaper & repair or modify it to make it better if it breaks down, of which I haven't really had any big issues with other brands. I haven't really noticed the prices on HyperTough, but it was the Hart high prices that stood out for me when I've perused the Walmart tool section. Luckily there is a small Mom&Pop type store in my town that is sort of like a mini-Walmart that combines tools & food, where their prices are lower than Walmart & Lowes/HomeDepot, although they do not have everything, so you just have to look around to see if they have what you are looking for & if you find it, the prices are probably cheaper. 04/06/24
I have that long reach Hyper Tough ratchet. It's not my go-to (that's my 12V Milwaukee) but I'll tell ya, it works like it should, gets me in and out on tough spots. I'd like the charger and another battery but I'm cheap. That short recip saw looks like a win for the occasional use. Walmart has increased a lot of prices everywhere in the store and by significant amounts. n It goes to figure the Hart stuff would get expensive.
Not a very well geared up with power tools just the basics Craftsman mainly, however extremely impressed with Hyper Tough 20' with battery chainsaw on sale $50...was able to get plenty of work done on some sizeable branches and trees...it was well worth the investment and still works!
Bought most of the power tools in past four years for projects around the farm. My only complaint is finding the deals when I have extra cash. Only buy it when you can get a deal. Think I spent around 300 for drill, driver, saw, saws all, grinder, search light, orbital sander, 3 4ah and 4 2ah batteries.
Havent walked thru any of my local/near to me Walmarts too as they are all locked up. But, I do have some of the hyper thought 12 volt line. The 3/8 brushless impact is a little beast. I have the oscillating tool and bought the mini palm router as well. All good quality tools for the price. And the batteries are fairly priced too.
@@ruck-a-tron Home Depot had a special price for Xmas on the DeWalt 20v 3/8 ratchet w/battery and charger so I picked that up. Rated for 70 ft/lbs so it's been useful. Eventually I may pick up the hyper tough wrenches as they are a bit small for those tighter areas.
I always recommend either Lowe’s or The Home Depot be patronized by veterans. Lowe’s & The Home Depot give vets a 10% discount. Ryobi,, Craftsman & Dewalt all have great cordless tools.
I cant say much about Hart as I dont have any of there stuff. But it seems to me that Harbor Freights prices are better. Ive even found better deals on some of the Lowes Kobalt tools. One thing to consider with a lot of these tools too is how strong are they for the price your paying? From what Ive seen a lot of the Hart stuff seems to be priced higher for tools that arent as strong as other brands.
The HT brushless 20v impact wrench is a steal for 60, and $20 for the 40w charger is a fair price. Only disappointment in price is the 4.0 battery. Wish they had a 2 pack for like 90. However it’s worth noting those use Samsung cells, the rest of the 20v use Highstar and 12v use KAN. Samsungs are higher discharge i believe
The best thing HART has is the tool storage stack for 70$. Sure I like & would prefer the big boys. But even the Ryobi link system is like 2 or 3 times as expensive .
I use some of those hyper tough 12v tools. I use the standard ratchet for oil changes at home and sometimes at my work and it gets the job done even though it’s slow. I also have the router which is meh. The rotary tool is decent.
I haven't bought any hand tools(wrench's,pry-bars,etc) from Walmart but I like their magnetic pickup tools,parts trays,and socket rails. I always find them on sale at my Walmart and i think they are a good thing to pickup for the price
I’ve had terrible luck with the warranty on the hart tools. Customer service looks at me like I’m crazy. So I’m slowly phasing out any tools I have from them.
Similar here. Tried to do an insurance claim on one with All-State and was told they would just refund the premium paid and call it done, rather than honor the extended warranty. Awful. I just assume Hart is disposable now.
Finishing out our basement in our new house, I love Hyper Tough for what it is.. I mean I got a sledge hammer for $6 and it's fiberglass too. Otherwise historically I had a Hart brand hammer drill that I felt was overpriced and wasn't really that good compared to my HFT Bauer tools which have done most of the project without so much as a hiccup. I think the main thing with these cheaper tools is they give you a great tool basically at a loss, but they then make up for it with the batteries since the batteries are generally more than the cost of the tool itself.
I still have and use my battert operated Hart weed whacker and leaf blower. They have held up well over time. Whenever those go out, I'll continue with Bauer since I have already switched over my other tools from Ryobi.
I actually just bought some 40v Hart OPE stuff on clearance at my nearest store (there’s four). An attachment-capable string trimmer kit with 4ah battery for $75 and the tiller attachment for $30. The prices and selection vary wildly even among the local stores.
I got into the hart line thinking that everything would be staying relatively The same price in terms of batteries and equipment. I've been a little bit disappointed, but i've used the brushless 20v Pressure washer to clean about 300 Sets of trash bins. I thoroughly enjoy that little piece of equipment
I got in the Hart 20 volt line about 2 years ago. They have good stuff, but honestly, for the amount I use some certain tools, I’ve been going across the street to Harbor Freight and getting Warrior or Bauer corded tools. I really like my Hart drill and driver, I easily use those two the most frequently. Last summer I switched to a Hart 20 volt string trimmer with good results from a Craftsman 2 stroke that was only lasting a season or two and I’ve really fallen in love with the Hart 18 gauge nailer. I just have a hard time justifying getting a $70 Hart 20v angle grinder or multi tool when HF has the Bauer corded 7 amp grinder on sale for $19.99 and the Warrior 2 amp multi tool on coupon for $15.00 and I’m only going to rarely have a need for those for my DIY projects. I may bump up to a Bauer multi tool though, I’ve been discovering new uses for that versatile piece of equipment and the Bauer 3 amp version may be worth it. I’m a mix of Hart battery powered tools for my most common needs and Warrior and Bauer corded tools for the less often used tools and corded Sun Joe trimmers and saws for my outdoor bush and tree trimming as I have a lot of work out there and I don’t think battery tools would cut it for me. That’s what works for me. Always look forward to the videos, have a great rest of the weekend everyone.
@@GrabLifeByDaPoosy Still, slower RPMs and $30 more dollars than what I paid for something that I’ll probably realistically only use a couple of times a year. I guess it’ll all in what you want to spend compared to frequency or amount of usage.
@@donnie017 I don't blame you. I just wanted to make sure you knew it was a bit cheaper than $70 if you was interested. I got into the Hart 20-volt lineup because of my girlfriend having her employee discount on top of discounted sale prices on a few different combo kits.
@@donnie017 They've got an awesome 4 tool brushless combo kit right now for $149. You get the 7¼" brushless circular saw, ½" brushless drill, ¼" inch brushless impact, flashlight, 4ah battery, 2ah battery, charger, and it all comes in a zippered canvas bag.
@@donnie017 I always wait till they go on sale in combo kits usually because you generally either end up getting one or more tools or one or more batteries free compared to buying them at regular price. Not to mention an extra 10% off from my girl's associate discount. Then I just sell off any unwanted duplicate tools I have or the smaller amp hour batteries to a buddy of mine. It's a win-win for both of us since I don't charge him full retail price. The price isn't justified at full retail price if you ask me because you can get something like the regular brushed Milwaukee for just a few more dollars. I'm not complaining though. They've done everything I needed them to do.
About the only thing I think worth buying specially hyper tough related is their small parts organizers. They're two for $13 and they hook together and you can stack as many as you want. I use them for screws, wire connectors and other small stuff and they live in the bed of my truck. So far the water seals have worked even when my bed was full of water after a heavy rain for six months. The real test will be how they handle the Texas summer which can turn plastic into so soft you could mold it or so brittle it breaks looking at it.
WM has that appealing return policy, but where they really fall short is on tool storage and organization, which is pretty strange for them. If you're working in a shop, you probably aren't buying sockets from WM, so they might as well come up with a good travel solution. If the big stores are moving away from blow molded cases, they should distinguish themselves by moving back.
The tool selection there is VASTLY better than at Walmart ("Supercenter")near me. As for Hart, I have been very happy with their vacuums. Hand vacs, small portable and trying out the Gen2 stick. Also nice LED spotlight. Tools I am not so sure about. Don't need anything now, happy with DeWalt and HFT.
What's up is that the Hyper tough line offers some rebranded high quality American made WILDE pry bars, while HART is a shamelessly used name that once belonged to the best manufacturer of California framing hammers. They also replaced every American made Channellock, and V&B / Dasco tool with crappy imported HART brand knockoffs. Without them Walmart would still sell Channellock pliers, Vaughan & Bushnell hammers, and Dasco pro pry bars. I can't stand the HART brand.
4:30 Hart 3100psi gas pressure washer was $157 from $368 at a local Walmart. But I believe the promo was select Walmarts. I went to two other Walmarts, in different cities, and they were regular price.
No problems springing for hypertough or hart on hand tools, but on power tools i'd probably either go to harbor freight or save up for the next level up.
I bought into the Hart eco system when they went on clearance after the introduction. I like mine but realize that they are weak compared to the 'pro' brands.
I dont buy Hart power tools but do use a larger sized drill \ driver\ bit set of theirs. Its been pretty good for me. Ill buy Hart and Hyper tough when its a great deal. I agree with you not worth it at full retail. Tip for those who read to the end, you can get 50 utility blades in that aisle for under $6. THAT is a worthwhile buy for sure.
I have Hart's 10-gallon vacuum cleaner and the 2000 psi electric pressure washer, and I like them both. They are well-made products. I also have the HyperTough 20v line - circular saw, recip saw, a couple drills, an impact driver, a leaf blower and a string trimmer. Are they great? No. Have they lasted for 4+ years of light/moderate DIY use? Yes. I also have an assortment of HT hand tools and would say the same about them. For somebody on a budget, and with a Walmart nearby, they can get the job done.
I think Walmart jacked prices to keep from selling too much and keeping something on the shelf. They almost tripled the price on Motorcraft oil filters.
Most of my cordless tools are the red hypertough tools. I wouldn't recommend the black 20v hypertough. I burned out their 1/4 impact within a week doing what I normally do with their red version.
i bought a hart drill, impact wrench and the vacuum. the battery on the vacuum is the 4ah and will no longer charge. i hate the price of the batteries since i need a new 1. the 2ah for the drill does not last long cleaning
Clearance and sale prices are the way to go. Hyper tough the lawn equipment takes the same battery which is cool. My complete set under 500 dollars and I can mow trim and blow. Can not do it with harbor frieght.
Kinda unrelated, but Evercraft tools at Napa have been discontinued. Most are 50% off. Have any inside connections that may shed some light on the future of the “Lifetime warranty” Heard they are switching to performance tool. Keep up the good work, love the videos.
That Walmart has a much more comprehensive tool selection and is much better organized than my Walmart in south central PA. And my Walmart has to be one of the messiest too.
I think all battery tools are way to expensive. These companies are taking advantage of the cordless/airless popularity. Even milwaukee is to expensive in my opinion.
3 Walmarts within 8 miles from my home and they all have just about EVERYTHING locked up...ya gotta wait and BEG for it to buy it! One time a big customer for Walmart tools, etc...not me any more...Amazon, Home Depot, Ace, True Value, Lowes; even independents, for me from now on! I don't even look at the Walmart departments any more!
WOW Hart's pricing themselves out of the market, especially compared to Ridgid and their Lifetime Service Agreement so you get free replacement batteries for life!!
@@gonzalez7805- Don't believe everything you read. They changed things up recently. You used to have to send the tool to an official repair shop and they would evaluate it. Took too much time and people were complaining about it. Late 2023, they changed it up and now you send it to Ridgid directly and it's supposed to dramatically decrease the response time. Have I needed this myself? No and others on RUclips are going to test this. The ones who already have said good things about the changes. The main complaints I hear are from people who expect instant carry-broken-tool-into-the-store-and-walk-out-with-new-tool response. NOBODY has that with the exception of maybe Harbor Freight MAYBE. HF does have that on hand tools but I'm not sure about power tools. When compared with other MFGs, it sounds like Ridgid is moving in the right direction. But whether you have to wait 1 week or 1 month or even 6 months for a replacement, you still have a lifetime agreement which others DO NOT provide.
I actually had several people on the channel tested since they made the changes and about half had a good experience and the other half had a bad experience. They were all longtime, rigid owners, well aware of all the nuances of the LSA at this point all I can say is that it’s not better.
Yea I was excited for HART when it first came out and bought a few tools. The prices are not worth the product. HART definitely doesn’t hit my G-Spot but it’s better than an unbalanced whirlpool washer. 😂
When Hart runs their promo like the 2 4Ah batteries and tool for $99 it's hard to beat. I have a bunch of Hart support tools like the lights and vacuum (1 and 2 Gallon version) and surprisingly the compressor. They all work great for the use. My main tool are Milwaukee mostly and a few Makita. Full price on these your better off with the other brands.
The Wal Mart by me has all this stuff locked in cages. To even look at it you have to navigate through tweekers asking you to donate to their charity. Then again, I live in California so my standards are already pretty low.
That tool section for Walmart looks amazing. My Walmart's look NOTHING like that.
Mine ether we driver at least 35 miles to another town to other Walmarts to shop and they are much nicer
Same here. The tools and camping sections suck big time
Mine has hyper tough battery tools proudly displayed. Hart in boxes here and there. I would never buy any of that crap. But sometimes when they are clearing hand tools out it's 50-75% off, like the pry bar set I picked up for 5$. If I didn't go there for dog goodies I would never know.

Come to Canada it's even worse almost nothing
Walmart acting like harbor freight pricing themselves out of their own market
Yep harbor freight high on crack now they jacking up their prices on bootleg tools made with the chinesium. Getting greedy
This is my level for most of the things I do . My tool colors are orange , red (Wal-mart) and one 1/2 inch blue . The older I get the less I care about impressing anyone with brands . Excellent video .
Bear you killed it again… I use the hyper tuff pry bars professionally and they are worth every penny also the automotive clip removal tool is excellent as well

My Walmart’s tool section is behind plexiglass. The entire section including cheap Hyper Tough hand tools and I live in a nice area.
In my Walmart, the oil is behind plexiglass.
no you don't
You know you in the hood when even the preservatives are behind the pixie glass😂 believe me all my 3 walmarts are like this
Must be be that nice if they're locking everything up. 🤷♂️
Thieves just make life miserable for everyone else.
Sure, I hate the "caged" tools but if it helps keep prices down, ...............
HART line is great for DYI. They need to find their place with price. Lots of price variation and some prices way too high.
I just don't like the way the tools look. To me the visual art of the tool matters!!
What's exciting at Walmart?
WalMartians.
That small 12v drill with adjustable clutch is awesome!! I use it for fixing vacuum cleaners, electric leaf blowers and etc. I definitely love the clutch and I got it for $19!!
Those prybars are Wild... i mean Wilde.
HART: "It's Ryobi but with a better battery."
Yup, sounds about.... completely spot-on!
If you're going to buy hart just turn around drove too harborfreight and buy hercules or bauer
I have most of the hyper tough 12 volt tools. I haven't had an issue with any of them yet 1 year.
Thanks very much for the Walmart tool tour Jeff. I've never looked for tools there, but maybe I should start. Take a look anyway. You and your family have a great and safe week ahead! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
The Hart line has really expanded. I have their 5 gallon shop vac and have been pleased with it
The pickup tube only swivels at one end. Bad design.
I have to say I bought a couple of the Heart Shelving systems (plastic) and there great for the garage for simple storage!
Your Hart prices seem to be double what I have local. And my store seems to be phasing out their hyper tough line. Plus the Ollie’s in town has had Hart items in stock lately.
Brought a 20 dollar mechanic set just to throw in the trunk, you never know 🤷♂️
Same, got a Wally World tool set in the back of my ‘85 Riviera
Hammer, butter knife, duct tape, wire, 1/2 pint... ☑
I know mechanic that absolutely loves the hypertough extended ratchet
I picked up a used Hyper Tough hammer drill about a month ago. It's adequate when used with hex shank bits, but otherwise, the chuck is pretty close to useless on smaller bits. It has a bunch of clutch settings, but the chuck will let go long before you invoke the clutch. Still, for dirt cheap, it's better than I expected.
I heard rumors the HyperTough prybars are re-labeled Mayhew prybars… everyone re-labels their prybars.
I switched from 20v black n Decker to hart. Been happy with the tools they are more robust. Had Milwaukee 12v system and was solid but underpowered for projects I got involved in. Best time to buy hart is in December.
I was REALLY excited when hyper tough dropped the half inch impact wrench
Not a fan of 'returns or exchanges' at Walmart. Give me HF anyday!!! Better selection, seems like the atmosphere is so much better at HF.
The bins and shelving systems are made in Jefferson City, Mo or in the Ohio plant, I believe in Sycamore, by American Plastics. The Craftsman bins as well as the yellow lid bins at Lowe’s, Walmart and Sam’s are all made by American Plastics. I’ve loaded thousands of those things lol.
Nice product selection but the prices are way too high. I'll stick with HF Hercules as they are better tools for the price.
Im just glad hart and hyper tough can work threw there issues now they know they are brothers.... such a great camping trip.

At those prices, I rather go to HF and spend a bit more and get 5 years tool and 3 years battery warranty

Those things really are just Ryobi in white.

@@joeferrara4580 Absolutely. I've gone gone Team Neon Green myself for cordless, and those Hart tools are dead ringers for the Ryobis I have.

I agree that hart is a good homeowner starter set but the price on the batteries is not much cheaper than DeWalt and Milwaukee
We use Hart Impact Wrenches out in the field- affordable, work fine, and won't kill you if they get lost

From what Ive seen a lot of the Hart stuff seems to be priced higher for tools that arent as strong as other brands.
The HT brushless 20v impact wrench is a steal for 60, and $20 for the 40w charger is a fair price. Only disappointment in price is the 4.0 battery. Wish they had a 2 pack for like 90. However it’s worth noting those use Samsung cells, the rest of the 20v use Highstar and 12v use KAN. Samsungs are higher discharge i believe
Your man cub is now a bear. Good photo at the end.
The problem is that they don't have enough 20V brushless tools.
The best thing HART has is the tool storage stack for 70$. Sure I like & would prefer the big boys. But even the Ryobi link system is like 2 or 3 times as expensive .
I have the hyper tough osculating saw. I paid $15 for it years ago at Walmart. Still works great.
I use some of those hyper tough 12v tools. I use the standard ratchet for oil changes at home and sometimes at my work and it gets the job done even though it’s slow. I also have the router which is meh. The rotary tool is decent.
I haven't bought any hand tools(wrench's,pry-bars,etc) from Walmart but I like their magnetic pickup tools,parts trays,and socket rails. I always find them on sale at my Walmart and i think they are a good thing to pickup for the price
Tubs should be a 5 or 6 dollar item. Maybe 10 for something extra rugged or seals better.
I’ve had terrible luck with the warranty on the hart tools. Customer service looks at me like I’m crazy. So I’m slowly phasing out any tools I have from them.
Similar here. Tried to do an insurance claim on one with All-State and was told they would just refund the premium paid and call it done, rather than honor the extended warranty. Awful. I just assume Hart is disposable now.
I'm surprised security didn't come down to usher you out...they dont like price shoppers or those taking pictures or filming.
I was thinking the same thing, Walmart is notorious for that.
Finishing out our basement in our new house, I love Hyper Tough for what it is.. I mean I got a sledge hammer for $6 and it's fiberglass too. Otherwise historically I had a Hart brand hammer drill that I felt was overpriced and wasn't really that good compared to my HFT Bauer tools which have done most of the project without so much as a hiccup.
I think the main thing with these cheaper tools is they give you a great tool basically at a loss, but they then make up for it with the batteries since the batteries are generally more than the cost of the tool itself.
I still have and use my battert operated Hart weed whacker and leaf blower. They have held up well over time. Whenever those go out, I'll continue with Bauer since I have already switched over my other tools from Ryobi.
I have been so screwed since Harbor Freight moved into my small town. I cant stay out of there. Heracles all the way.
I actually just bought some 40v Hart OPE stuff on clearance at my nearest store (there’s four). An attachment-capable string trimmer kit with 4ah battery for $75 and the tiller attachment for $30. The prices and selection vary wildly even among the local stores.
I got into the hart line thinking that everything would be staying relatively The same price in terms of batteries and equipment. I've been a little bit disappointed, but i've used the brushless 20v Pressure washer to clean about 300 Sets of trash bins. I thoroughly enjoy that little piece of equipment
I got in the Hart 20 volt line about 2 years ago. They have good stuff, but honestly, for the amount I use some certain tools, I’ve been going across the street to Harbor Freight and getting Warrior or Bauer corded tools. I really like my Hart drill and driver, I easily use those two the most frequently. Last summer I switched to a Hart 20 volt string trimmer with good results from a Craftsman 2 stroke that was only lasting a season or two and I’ve really fallen in love with the Hart 18 gauge nailer. I just have a hard time justifying getting a $70 Hart 20v angle grinder or multi tool when HF has the Bauer corded 7 amp grinder on sale for $19.99 and the Warrior 2 amp multi tool on coupon for $15.00 and I’m only going to rarely have a need for those for my DIY projects. I may bump up to a Bauer multi tool though, I’ve been discovering new uses for that versatile piece of equipment and the Bauer 3 amp version may be worth it. I’m a mix of Hart battery powered tools for my most common needs and Warrior and Bauer corded tools for the less often used tools and corded Sun Joe trimmers and saws for my outdoor bush and tree trimming as I have a lot of work out there and I don’t think battery tools would cut it for me. That’s what works for me. Always look forward to the videos, have a great rest of the weekend everyone.
Hart 20v grinder is only $50
@@GrabLifeByDaPoosy Still, slower RPMs and $30 more dollars than what I paid for something that I’ll probably realistically only use a couple of times a year. I guess it’ll all in what you want to spend compared to frequency or amount of usage.
@@donnie017 I don't blame you. I just wanted to make sure you knew it was a bit cheaper than $70 if you was interested. I got into the Hart 20-volt lineup because of my girlfriend having her employee discount on top of discounted sale prices on a few different combo kits.
@@donnie017 They've got an awesome 4 tool brushless combo kit right now for $149. You get the 7¼" brushless circular saw, ½" brushless drill, ¼" inch brushless impact, flashlight, 4ah battery, 2ah battery, charger, and it all comes in a zippered canvas bag.
@@donnie017 I always wait till they go on sale in combo kits usually because you generally either end up getting one or more tools or one or more batteries free compared to buying them at regular price. Not to mention an extra 10% off from my girl's associate discount. Then I just sell off any unwanted duplicate tools I have or the smaller amp hour batteries to a buddy of mine. It's a win-win for both of us since I don't charge him full retail price. The price isn't justified at full retail price if you ask me because you can get something like the regular brushed Milwaukee for just a few more dollars. I'm not complaining though. They've done everything I needed them to do.
Those wrenches were the coolest thing there.
hit a hart clearance at my local wally not to long ago, 40 bucks for brush cutter and cultivator attachments for string trimmer
About the only thing I think worth buying specially hyper tough related is their small parts organizers. They're two for $13 and they hook together and you can stack as many as you want. I use them for screws, wire connectors and other small stuff and they live in the bed of my truck. So far the water seals have worked even when my bed was full of water after a heavy rain for six months. The real test will be how they handle the Texas summer which can turn plastic into so soft you could mold it or so brittle it breaks looking at it.
For people without a Harbor Freight around them, Hyper Tough is a great option for disposable power tools.
I have got very lucky with hart tools I always get them on clearance for the low low and they are actually not bad
WM has that appealing return policy, but where they really fall short is on tool storage and organization, which is pretty strange for them. If you're working in a shop, you probably aren't buying sockets from WM, so they might as well come up with a good travel solution. If the big stores are moving away from blow molded cases, they should distinguish themselves by moving back.
The tool selection there is VASTLY better than at Walmart ("Supercenter")near me.
As for Hart, I have been very happy with their vacuums. Hand vacs, small portable and trying out the Gen2 stick. Also nice LED spotlight. Tools I am not so sure about. Don't need anything now, happy with DeWalt and HFT.
What's up is that the Hyper tough line offers some rebranded high quality American made WILDE pry bars, while HART is a shamelessly used name that once belonged to the best manufacturer of California framing hammers.
They also replaced every American made Channellock, and V&B / Dasco tool with crappy imported HART brand knockoffs.
Without them Walmart would still sell Channellock pliers, Vaughan & Bushnell hammers, and Dasco pro pry bars. I can't stand the HART brand.
4:30 Hart 3100psi gas pressure washer was $157 from $368 at a local Walmart.
But I believe the promo was select Walmarts. I went to two other Walmarts, in different cities, and they were regular price.
No problems springing for hypertough or hart on hand tools, but on power tools i'd probably either go to harbor freight or save up for the next level up.
The Hypertough tool cabinet is a rebranded Crafstman Evolv cabinet. I know because i have one. Its been great. No complaints. Just an observation.
I bought into the Hart eco system when they went on clearance after the introduction. I like mine but realize that they are weak compared to the 'pro' brands.
I dont buy Hart power tools but do use a larger sized drill \ driver\ bit set of theirs. Its been pretty good for me. Ill buy Hart and Hyper tough when its a great deal. I agree with you not worth it at full retail. Tip for those who read to the end, you can get 50 utility blades in that aisle for under $6. THAT is a worthwhile buy for sure.
The suits must be running things now. Not long ago i began seeing a lot of Hart stuff out at the Swap Shop.
I have Hart's 10-gallon vacuum cleaner and the 2000 psi electric pressure washer, and I like them both. They are well-made products. I also have the HyperTough 20v line - circular saw, recip saw, a couple drills, an impact driver, a leaf blower and a string trimmer. Are they great? No. Have they lasted for 4+ years of light/moderate DIY use? Yes. I also have an assortment of HT hand tools and would say the same about them. For somebody on a budget, and with a Walmart nearby, they can get the job done.
Their vac is like all the others (except Ridgid) in that the pickup tube only swivels at one end. Stupid design.
Hart is just catching up with "inflation" 4 years too late, that's all.
Looks simple to me, they're adopting the latest fast food business model
By charging twice as much for half of the original value meal...
I think Walmart jacked prices to keep from selling too much and keeping something on the shelf. They almost tripled the price on Motorcraft oil filters.
Most of my cordless tools are the red hypertough tools. I wouldn't recommend the black 20v hypertough. I burned out their 1/4 impact within a week doing what I normally do with their red version.
You actually have a Wal Mart where all the stuff isn't locked in cabinets and you can read the backs of the boxes? Sweet!
i bought a hart drill, impact wrench and the vacuum. the battery on the vacuum is the 4ah and will no longer charge. i hate the price of the batteries since i need a new 1. the 2ah for the drill does not last long cleaning
Love the Hyper Tough socket rails!!!
Me too. I got the 1/2" drive way better than I thought they were gonna be
It seemed like Harts market plan is cheaper tools with over priced batteries
Clearance and sale prices are the way to go. Hyper tough the lawn equipment takes the same battery which is cool. My complete set under 500 dollars and I can mow trim and blow. Can not do it with harbor frieght.
Kinda unrelated, but Evercraft tools at Napa have been discontinued. Most are 50% off. Have any inside connections that may shed some light on the future of the “Lifetime warranty” Heard they are switching to performance tool.
Keep up the good work, love the videos.
That Walmart has a much more comprehensive tool selection and is much better organized than my Walmart in south central PA. And my Walmart has to be one of the messiest too.
I mean that's PA for you. He's in Montana...
I think all battery tools are way to expensive. These companies are taking advantage of the cordless/airless popularity. Even milwaukee is to expensive in my opinion.
I think the Hart line needed to go the Ridgid route offer some sort of lifetime warranty then its worth the price.
3 Walmarts within 8 miles from my home and they all have just about EVERYTHING locked up...ya gotta wait and BEG for it to buy it! One time a big customer for Walmart tools, etc...not me any more...Amazon, Home Depot, Ace, True Value, Lowes; even independents, for me from now on! I don't even look at the Walmart departments any more!
I bought one at Walmart, not too long ago for the back of my truck
What did you buy for your truck???
WOW Hart's pricing themselves out of the market, especially compared to Ridgid and their Lifetime Service Agreement so you get free replacement batteries for life!!
Do you have any experience with the ridgid warranty? I hear its all smoke and mirrors...
@@gonzalez7805- Don't believe everything you read. They changed things up recently. You used to have to send the tool to an official repair shop and they would evaluate it. Took too much time and people were complaining about it. Late 2023, they changed it up and now you send it to Ridgid directly and it's supposed to dramatically decrease the response time. Have I needed this myself? No and others on RUclips are going to test this. The ones who already have said good things about the changes. The main complaints I hear are from people who expect instant carry-broken-tool-into-the-store-and-walk-out-with-new-tool response. NOBODY has that with the exception of maybe Harbor Freight MAYBE. HF does have that on hand tools but I'm not sure about power tools. When compared with other MFGs, it sounds like Ridgid is moving in the right direction. But whether you have to wait 1 week or 1 month or even 6 months for a replacement, you still have a lifetime agreement which others DO NOT provide.
Yeah it’s great until you try to use it then they come up with any excuse to not honor it.
I actually had several people on the channel tested since they made the changes and about half had a good experience and the other half had a bad experience. They were all longtime, rigid owners, well aware of all the nuances of the LSA at this point all I can say is that it’s not better.
@@denoftools- fair enough. Thanks for the perspective. Since I haven't needed to use it, I'm hoping it won't be that bad.
Yea I was excited for HART when it first came out and bought a few tools. The prices are not worth the product. HART definitely doesn’t hit my G-Spot but it’s better than an unbalanced whirlpool washer. 😂
All decent quality tools pretty much everywhere have leaped in price.
When Hart runs their promo like the 2 4Ah batteries and tool for $99 it's hard to beat. I have a bunch of Hart support tools like the lights and vacuum (1 and 2 Gallon version) and surprisingly the compressor. They all work great for the use. My main tool are Milwaukee mostly and a few Makita. Full price on these your better off with the other brands.
The Wal Mart by me has all this stuff locked in cages. To even look at it you have to navigate through tweekers asking you to donate to their charity.
Then again, I live in California so my standards are already pretty low.
The last remaining walmart eithout everything locked behind glass😮
