The Bear is Mad... Harbor Freight's #1 Tool Salesman
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- This video is not a tool review and is in response toThe Bear saying I was committing fraud and that Harbor Freight is never in the wrong. Any time anyone says anything about Harbor Freight The Den of Tools is right there to save Harbor Freight. I am fed up with all of this extra RUclips drama over some ICON tools. I wanted to give my experience with tool testing from harbor freight and with the icon tools warranty, but the bear of course is mad. In my opinion Harbor Freight gives these tools to him only for him to sell tools. Like it or not it's just my opinion.
Thanks for the honesty. As a non-mechanic and barely BIFY(break it, "try to" fix it Yourself), I like the availability of inexpensively tools @HF, however, lately I've been buying Tekton more since their quality is fairly good at affordable prices. Thanks again!
The bear has dangled me some carrots to buy Tekton tools when I already had good use out of some Harbor Freight ones as a pro. I've bought some too, but mostly they sale things I have from other manufacturers so they're a consideration if I need something extra at the house instead of dragging it home from work.
Actually like my Tekton 1/2" impact set so much I'd rather use at home and at work. Lol plus I seem to work on a ton of old Corollas and I need half inch tools times 2 a lot on the knuckles and what not.
Tekton has most of their tools made at the same place so a lot of the tools are very much the same.... but I have noticed Tekton's prices will be a little bit lower and if you go on their site and create an account you can actually get 10% off towards your next purchase it's actually a pretty good deal....Tekton is Harbor freight's biggest competitor....
@@boosted2.4_sky I agree. Higher quality by just a bit for what I've tried, but I haven't bought much of their stuff.
I mean, I like the bear’s channel. He’s got a lot of good content. Nothing against the man personally either. But I tell ya what. I watched his review of the craftsman 20v drill (not brushless) and your review of the same drill (and impact). Yours was favorable and his was unfavorable. But in his the test was to run some kind of water pump. And in yours it was to, you know, actually drill holes! Lol. So I don’t have to say which review I found more beneficial.
Yep, the bear hates craftsman and will take the junk from harbor frieght guy and brag
I wish both of you would drop it, do your own thing, and let it be. There is no way this feud will be any better than the others or accomplish anything in the end. Let it be.
Right on
Ditto
Never thought I'd see 2 grown men fight over harbor freight.
Yeah let it go man it's petty... honestly if you don't respond none of YOUR viewers will care one way or the other....🏁
Isn't this one of the guys that was feuding with Justin Sturgill a while back too? I agree, let it go! I watch "tool review" videos for entertainment only. I'll buy what I think will do the job best.
Like I said in numerous videos I've made it's all marketing and by the time you buy extended warranties and play coupon games and VIP memberships you could have bought 900 different brands of tools that are of better quality and better warranty and service. But I'm giving you a another thumbs up I'm happy you finally see the trees through the forest and agree with you 500%.
I agree with you Chad @CP The Tool Addict
The bear is a cnnt
There's no way the bear is using any of those tools. I seriously doubt if he could fit under his vehicle to do an oil change. He's lost all credibility.
Everything you said is 100% true. He gets a 13K tool box for there bullshit advertising. I remember that video he did when he was pissed off at HF when they told him he could not record in the stores anymore. He was mad as hell and crying like a little girl. He is 100% fake!
It is a coincidence that the Icon box is pretty well noticable in his live streams.
@@claytonscheiber3493 never seen the box at his livestreams.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado I hope your goofin.
I'm really not goofing, but I've only watched a couple of his live streams when he was up north. He moved using several tool boxes. I thought that was odd...but if he didn't pay for them...
@@DENicholsAutoBravado
Ok. Gotcha. If you watch any of his streams from his home, hes basically using that Icon box as a back rest. You see him, his wife and the box hanging out ominously behind them.
We need you back bro! For real. Stuff is getting so crazy
You and Ave make honest reviews of tools. The 🐻 could sell ice to the eskimos. I misjudged your channel when I first watched it. I wrote a dumb comment about the USA flag being hung incorrectly. I was wrong and want to apologize. Your content is excellent. Thanks for the video. People give this man more thumbs up.
Man it's the first time I see someone admit fault in public, cheers to you you got 🥎🥎s
I remember that, I second the cheers . Nothing wrong with being human.
@@bradfaught1695 nothing wrong with being human at all.
AVE is a Makita fan boy... all hat no cattle
The Tool Bear is a tool. You struck a nerve and he didn’t like it even though you didn’t mention him. Keep up the good work, bud.
Doesn't that show his guilt?
You are a stand up guy! You tell it like it is! Screw the Bear 🐻 blowing 😤 smoke up our asses!! Stay real Brother!!
Honest reviews are hard to come by man, the main reason I like this channel. I like certain things from Harbor freight, however some of it is poor quality for obvious reasons. I appreciate you're testing and comparison of the tools. I have always thought you were fair. Keep on keeping on man.
AvE is the only one I would trust 100%. (Not to diss others that I'm not aware of.)
Man I've argued with him on other media platforms and he is the biggest shill for harbor freight. He comes out right out the bat calling everyone idiots and he knows best. I love harbor freight but I can be objective and say when something isn't great.
Man, I think the quarantine is starting to get to everyone.
If you work with tools you're essential and are most likely still working... Just saying.
Tommy Kozak exactly
Construction work still continues no matter what doubt they will ever shut it down , only thing that has changed is my coworkers at a froedert hospital have to wear face masks no matter what even though we are outside as sheet metal workers lol, our company is a pretty big one and hasn't had face masks for a month or so, I guess they have the secretary making homemade ones lol, anyways I'm rambling, i would take a person's word that uses it every day then someone that doesnt, a tool can be great the first time you start using it and them flaws start coming out , has happened to me alot
@Mike41 where is this? Was it a company decision or to comply with an order? In Wisconsin everyone I know in construction is currently working
Juan C Anybody watching this video is a working man
Oh man he got you heated. Only reason I started watching your channel is because you have been honest from the beginning. This is just another video of you being honest And I appreciate it. And you’re totally right people can see through the BS.
Lol, no offense to the bear.. but “ he prob isn’t climbing underneath any cars to do an oil change “ LOL
😂😂😂😂👍
The bear and most people on RUclips don't know their ass from the elbow.
Irritated my son when I called the bear a shill and said I like opinions of people that actually used the tools they are reviewing. He said he and the bear were friends and he was into computers or electronics, not sure if professionally or what. But never see him do more than sell. So brother keep doing your thing, keep educating and guiding the novice and D Y I guys, I said it before you always appear honest and knowledgeable and an old jerk of all trades like me, likes to watch you videos, still learn something.
Harbor freight has some decent stuff but they have alot of junk I've learned to stay away from anything with a plug or a battery. Ill buy Milwaukee or dewalt before there power tools
Frank Price I bought the 12v Hercules screwdriver a while back. It’s nothing heavy duty, but it does it’s job pretty well. I’d say for light applications, their stuff isn’t too bad. I think if you’re looking for a drill, something else would be better
Frank Price 100% agreed. I don’t give a shit if they dip their power tools in gold, I won’t buy them. I made the mistake of buying a cheap air tool to hold me over until I could buy a professional brand and the damn thing exploded the second time I used it. Wasn’t worth returning so I chucked it in the scrap barrel.
Im with you on that. I use mikita and have been over 30 years. No way you could get that kind of service out of hf power tools.
@@veryfunclub I have both the Hercules 12v and 20v lines. I tested the 20v Hercules vs a Bosch on a tree stump with a 5/8 ship auger. The Hercules had more power, more battery life, and I also like the simple brush drive instead of the electronically controlled brushless. The anti-kickback on the Bosh just messed with me on heavy-duty stuff like that. I use the 12v line inside for shelves & curtains and such. The 20v is out in the barn to do the framing, building, and exterior work. Considering the money I saved on the 5ah battery and the tools themselves? Worth it.
Trucker88
Same thing with their heat gun
It blow up in front of me and catch on fire
I got the Wagner brand for 20$ and work beautiful so I only buy what I think it’s worth
After everything is said and done, i hope you will still buy and test HF tools because i like your reviews and honest about the tools you review
I’ve been a mechanic for over 20+ years and I work with a lot of mechanics. Some new some with over 30 years as a REAL mechanic. And H/F dose not make or sell professional tools for professional mechanics. Here’s the FACTS if you are not paying your bills 40+ hrs a week working as a mechanic you are NOT a mechanic.. You are DYI’ nothing wrong with that BUT under the definition of the (law)you are not a professional mechanic. All 50 states.. Don’t get Butt Hurt but that’s the Fact..
They make a few good ones. I like the Quinn diagonal pliers over the snap on and the Pittsburgh mini pliers are good as well as the mini flush cutters. Those squeeze handle push pin pliers are a winner for the Christmas tree pins.
Totally agree, Truck Mechanic!
Lol harbor freight = busted knuckles and longer repair times. have been a couple things I found useful, their more expensive bore scope isnt to bad and the CE welder for doing quick exhaust work, but definitely will not trust my knuckles to their hand tools
@Truck Mechanic , I couldn't agree more. I regularly watch BlueCollarKyle on YT and he's a auto-body guy who seems to use Milwaukee unless he's using an air tool. Me on the other hand, I have and use HF tools mainly because I only need said tools every now and again. They work fine for all I need, which isn't a lot.
I am butt hurt.
Wait. The Bear has kids pictures and a toaster oven on his 13K tool box. You mean that's not professional use?
😂
Now... How do you use a box professionally? XD open the drawers work the pinky upwards
@@josefelix4152 When you open and close heavy drawers all day cheap drawer slides will fall apart.
@@josefelix4152 big difference between a DIY box and a professional used box.
It was an obvious joke gosh....
The guy comes off as pretty condescending.
In the comments of one of his videos. I said mikita. Made masterforce tools. I was wrong. It's chevron. But then he basically lashes out at me for it and then made a YT community post about it.
He's not a terrible dude. But man.... he has some ego issues. He's always seemed more of a "Tool buyer" then a "tool user"
When the rumors were going around about HF discontinuing Hercules, I commented on reddit that maybe Disney was going after them for the Hercules name. Any normal person would be able to tell that was a joke but not the bear. He made a video about how people are dumb cause they think Disney is suing HF.
@@texaslh9 I remember that video. I was kinda like? Thinks that. And this was you making a joke?
Good joke by the way. Lol 😁🤣
Like when he was using the workhorse backwards
i only like horrible freight for consumables like gloves, rags, oil pans/funnels, 15w-40 shell rotella cause they actually have it in stock all the time, and for evaporust because no one else has it in stock except for Amazon
Pay no mind to that fucking guy, your the realest tool reviewer on RUclips. Keep up the excellent work
Man and I thought fb was bad with the drama lol stay cool brother
How is someone going to argue with you about the experience that you have had when they where not there? I guess you cannot state your opinion on a product, on your channel lol. I would not waste your time responding to them.
It's funny that you mention the bear's mechanical ability. I've always wondered about what he actually did. I always viewed him as only a tool "collector". I can never keep my tools (Snappy and older Craftsman) that organized on a full time basis. They are always being used. I do have some Horrible Freight items, but not much that has moving parts, motors or plugs. The best item in Horrible Freight is the Meguiar's finish compounds. Just my opinion. And with coronavirus that China gifted us I'm going to be looking VERY hard for source options. And for the USA companies that sourced in China to save a buck to optimize their profits and bonuses "START BRINGING OUR JOBS BACK HOME PEOPLE!!! I WILL pay a little more!!
Im with you on this one. I watch both channels and the "bear" is bias for Harbor freight for sure. I would bury this after this video though cause i need me some redemption garage honest takes.
The bear showed his intelligence with tools when he did his “Best Box Wrench?(16 Wrenches Tested to Failure!) video. He doesn’t even know how to read the decimal point on a torque meter. For instants on the Snapon he reported that it bent at 1220 foot LBS when it was ONLY 122.0 foot lbs. His whole test was wrong.
Came here to post this
The bear has 79,000 viewers you have 14,000 neither one of you were affecting any sales of any company
The bear's most popular video has almost 1,000,000 views. Subscribers don't equal viewers. That's like saying "Well the NFL only has 1,000,000 people who subscribe to NFL Super Duper Subscription." But then 40,000,000 people watch the super bowl.
Those watching are the people buying. I'm watching because I buy these tools and I shop harbor freight for some things. My daughter doesn't watch videos like this because she would be wasting time. If I were in the trades and my livelihood depended on my tools, I want to hear an unbiased pro's opinion before making a decision to purchase.
Actually they do believe it or not because a lot of people rely on reviews. The reviews are most definitely helpful because they let you know what you can cheap out on and when to just go ahead and spend a little more.
I’m glad you finally woke up man. I don’t know if you remember I left you a comment on the ratchet recall video about this very thing. (Dangling the carrot) I’m glad your snapped out of it. This was all marketing and use youtubers to sell theIr tools. Giving the bear a “professional tool box” was all marketing they knew he couldn’t and wouldn’t be able to test it like a real professional would. They knew it would sit in his garage and look pretty as a nice counter top for his toaster oven.
You are 100% correct.
The Bear seems to do more of an analysis of the ads and construction of the tools than anything else.
I have a no name ratchet that saved my ass on the side of the road when a break pad disintegrated on a road trip.
Names don't earn respect work does.
I bought 1k in icon tools with my tax return. Overall they have been great. I had 3 bad 1/2in ratchets (non flex head) that were bad out of the package (they would reverse themselves when ratcheted fast). They warrantied them no problem. They appeared to be pulled off the market since they aren’t online anymore (another recall?) That was the main reason I bought them, I figure I have a place close by to return them if broken. When it came to power tools I bought Milwaukee with tax money. There is no doubt it my mind they are superior to harbor freights line. Not only do they have more tools that use the same battery, but they are actually worth something if I upgrade. I bought the 1400ftlb Milwaukee impact for 350$, that came with two 5ah batteries. HFs came with one weaker battery for 75-100 or so less. Not worth it to me.
As far as the bear goes, I am not really sure where his hostility comes from. Harbor freight makes some great tools at the price point they sell them at. They aren’t the best tools money can buy because they aren’t priced high enough to afford to have the best materials and engineering behind them. They will get the job done and the better stuff they sell is not bad. It’s not worth arguing they are as good or better than the best in the industry since they aren’t. I wish Hf would stop marketing themselves as the “snap on killer” and “Lincoln electric killer”. They aren’t either, and that marketing is lost on me. Just sell me some decent quality products and stand behind them, what a novel concept that has literally been gone from this country for a long time.
I got my 20v Hercules drill-battery-charger combo for $80 and snagged a 5ah battery for $40 before the price went up. The 2.5ah battery is fine for normal work and switching between tools. I got the 20v impact; tool-only, for $45. Got the 12v drill, screwdriver, and impact, each with battery for about $40 each on clearance (they charge on the 20v charger I already have). So it's quite a bit cheaper to get started with than Milwaukee. I am definitely upset at the lack of new tools in the Hercules line, though. Milwaukee wins there, hands down. And my batteries aren't compatible with the Bauer line. HF could have gotten me buying more tools if their batteries were cross-compatible!
We appreciate HONEST reviews! If a company doesn't like them, they need to up their quality, especially if they're marketing them as tool truck quality! Even us DYI'ers need quality tools in most situations. Some of us have to work on our own stuff. We don't want tools that damage our cars or break when we're making a crucial repair. Keep up the good work!
I'd watch 50 min videos so long as they're continuously informative and honest. 😁👍
Dam that was pro wrestling HEAT! I dig your channel because you are critical on tools. We spend a lot of money on tools. You give great food for thought in a tool review. Some people may not like your style and that's all right but you have integrity. Oh and by the way Happy Easter and stay safe.
So you don't like the Bear, or his opinions, or agree with him much at all... If you don't want to review ICON/HF that's fine, don't. Looking forward to your other videos!
Bud, let it go. People are always going to have different opinions. You don't have to live with him so stop the drama on your part and deny the confrontation.
Moving forward, worry about yourself and what your doing. Don't make reference to other RUclipsrs directly but solely focus on you and your content.
The term “puppet” is soo accurate for Den of tools! That dude will do and say anything for a buck. It shows in how disingenuous his product videos are. Its very clear he’s not a credible tool reviewer.
I saw the video. I saw his comment. At the end of his comment, he claims you "attacked" him (and other reviewers). Well you never attacked him from what I can see. On fraud. It's not like you bought a junk ratchet that was trashed and abused at a garage sale for a quarter and tried to exchange it. Stay cool brother.
Just like you say after every video, Stay Real. That what you do best man. Keep it up.
The dude doesnt work a normal job.His job is RUclips.And has been for many years.Hes protecting his income but slowly ruining his reputation.
One of the reasons I watch you is because you tell it as you see it. I don't want a tool review where the person is swaying his opinion based on a relationship with a company. Keep up the good work. I don't mind people working for a company, but be honest when you see short comings or at least make it clear you work for the company and are pointing out the good side of the tools. That would let people know it is more about sales rather than honest review.
Thanks for letting us know how this process works. I appreciate your honesty. Keep up the good work.
I did notice in one of his videos, Hercules vs DeWalt, that at one point the Hercules went off camera. Just long enough to switch on a fresh battery. I enjoy watching all the tool reviews, beats MSM,keep them coming.
Person from the past: "Do you discuss world issues and solve problems of humanity in the future?"
Me: "Nah, we argue about which tools are professional grade, and make memes..."
Person from the future: 😳
😂
If I was you I'd be tired of the whole tool review thing on RUclips. You're a good dude don't let the trash talkers bring you down to their level.
I pay attention to his good bad and ugly series Because it is interesting to hear about companies. But I feel like he is far too biased to harbor freight. Alot of the tools he says are great are widely known as disposable junk.
I like alot of reveiwers and you both are a few of them and some of Harbor tools are too expensive for what they are. I will buy husky and tekton because of the price range and you can get replacements of both with no charge and obviously gearwrench will too.
The bear is a joke!
He's literally just a professional opinion giver.
Professional amateur opinion giver... 😂
Every RUclipsr is a professional opinion giver. 🤷🏽♂️
Like pretty much any RUclipsr, or reporter, or writer......or doctor, or nurse, or salesperson.....or parent, or teacher....
Isn’t that the point of RUclips? 😂 lmao
You can't beat the tool trucks. Nobody beats the service and convince and the quality of the tools
Don’t let it get to you bro ! This is why I’ve said before to you that I look forward on seeing a video it may not be what I’m looking for sometimes but there are times that they are . I know your true to your opinion and I’ll direct myself on that particular tool I was already considering!!
dude do me a favor? do a video on the best complete mech set from lowes, home depot, harbor freight, for quality, longevity, and ease of warranty. then which brands to buy for pliers. impact sockets. power tools like drills, saw, etc. air tools. are boxes like icon worth it? any other brands like icon that feels like SO, MATCO, etc bigger name brand boxes?
have a friend whos wife has snap on box new, but her sockets are hf pros as were her ratchets, she just got icon sockets. ratchets. can you suggest another brand with prem feeling and hard use like snap on at icon prices? or stuff thatll just last? forget fighting with other yt ppl. make new friends and associates. do group reviews. should one get us general box? if stay in place but use a cart to move stuff around a vehicle, can someone use say a us general big chest, then a snap on toolcart for more often used tools? i like your content and honesty, if hf doesnt have quality products appreciate review on what is and isnt.
will prob get a snap on box myself soon, and kobalt/husky tools for most, maybe some more pitty pro? was thinking of getting icon, but i guess us general in green to match my gym equipment is a better deal! so far i love the ratchets from icon, im worried though they wont be around. im sure their reg pitty brand will be. but im thinking of what to grab as lowes does craftsman now. just dont like laser labeling on sockets and wrenches. eh. but anyways hope youre doing well and continue to do so!
A tool box is that - just a box. Don't waste your money on Snap-On. Icon is more than enough. Professional mechanics like Justin Dow even use US General boxes at their shop jobs. Look around for mods to the US General shop carts. If you're looking for a good brand of tools that's not HF, look at Tekton or Gearwrench.
One last thing.. congratulations your eyes are open.
Speak it Bro! That’s why I dig your channel.
I watch both channels, along with Justin Dow and a little Justin Sturgill, and enjoy all of them. As a professional, I find all videos helpful because I like to see different opinions on different items. I think you have good advice for professionals and the bear has good advice if it involves at home or tools not used much. HF has some good stuff that I got because I don’t need top of the line, while others I will pay top dollar for. I use Knipex cutters, that will never change. For other pliers, I found the Doyles to be very nice and cheap. I enjoy both channels and will continue watching both for varied opinions, unless I find something that makes me lose faith in one of you. Either way, keep doing your thing brotha. We love your, “I don’t give a f***,” attitude when it comes to tool reviews.
Milwaukee is definitely better than Hercules. But the Hercules is cheaper. I decided to buy into the Hercules line right before they pulled the switcheroo and cranked up the battery prices. If a big 5 amp hour battery was still under 40 bucks Hercules would be a good deal. But it's just not anymore.
That guy is a clown personally. He never even uses the tools in real world situations, and he’s very condescending towards people with other opinions
Has anyone actually purchased a ICON box???....my store only has the display and has never sold one lol
Honestly I enjoy both of your channels. Regarding cordless power tools: There is no real comparison between Milwaukee tools and Earthquake/Bauer or Hercules. Milwaukee quality is a step or two above and their warranty is likely the best in the power tool business.
Harbor freight has 1 huge advantage over other tool box distributors. It's going to be the up to 36 months 0% financing. No others offer that.
But most likely I'm going with the 72x30 extreme tools box.
Yeah I was looking at those,it's alot of box for the money
You're right dawg , you took the words out of my mouth when he does his videos about the Harbor Freight flyer and he acts like he is the only one that gets the sale flyer, and quite honestly I've had one Hercules drill and I can smell it the first time I used it the third time I used it it went up in smoke and I was only Drilling Pine to build a dam dog house
I stopped watching the bears videos a few months back. I saw him half ass testing too many tools. I lost trust in his opinion and I realized what he was doing.
It makes me wonder if there is more going on between HF and him beneath the surface.
And when I saw him get the $13,000+ Icon tool storage set up, that shit didn’t sit right with me at all. 100% the wrong person to send that shit too. I think Justin Dow should have received one.
If you type Harbor freight the den of tools is the number one person you see
I’m 100% positive Harbor Freight has been editing their reviews for their tools and other items. Don’t trust the reviews on their website. At the very least they don’t post the very bad reviews or delete the majority of them to keep at least a 4 star rating.
Bro you said it perfectly. I agree 110% with everything you said 👍🏽👍🏽
He wears Crocs out in the shop I've seen it, i posted my concern on that video.
I don't trust people who don't know how to properly use PPE in the shop.
It sets a bad example.
This is actually underrated. One of the reason I love Stumpy Nubs Woodworking channel is that he is very clear about what safety measures should be taken.
Great video, better to be a straight shooter. Were did you get the bench work mat from?
I like the Bear. But when he sh!t on AvE using a water resistor to do battery run-down tests (which HF batteries failed) he was wrong. The Bear has some electrical knowledge, he was aware that a water resistor is a valid load. They were used in welders back in the day. You only get one chance to be honest!
Your ICON videos, helps.. For every review from every creator, the more the better an if we look theirs tons of materal on Y.T., for a item, having more helps everyone.
Brian brother.. Dont let anyone get to you like this.. Im glad you got this off your chest... but just stay focused, "you got this", just because someone tried callin you out, your the better man because you stood your ground an told your side of things.. We all knew youd end up gettin some back lash for stating facts of the tools an the company an their Warranty.. Just dont let others make you stop doin what your good at or sharing your opinion, if you get chances to get more free tools, kool & you should continue but be smart an do what you do an dont worry abought others, you know as well as of the rest of us, this stuff is just a reaction to what you needed to say an pointing out facts !
Also its not fraud if your not an employee of the company an you have a tool that was free an it breaks/damaged an you return it to get a replacement (even if that was the case but its not !!), it shouldnt matter., (fact) tool trucks give away tools, when you buy the primary tools.. to have a set, they wont exclude the warrantys to the set, just because you bought the primary tool or another set that was free !
Last time i criticized the icon selector switch on the icon ratchet he said the right opposite attacking me😂
He does that, he attacks his own followers. But slowly they are seeing through him.
I’ll take advice from a person over a guy hiding behind a bear cartoon character.
Always dig the content Brian keep doing what you do who cares what someone else thinks and yeah they only sent that full setup to him so it's whatever I'm still here smashing the like button every time I drop in
That’s why we like you brother, You keep it real and 💯 when it comes to reviewing tools for us out there who are actually going to put to use at home or at work!
When Harbor Freight sent out those Icon boxes, I was so shocked that you and other youtubers got the basic box and DoT got the full store display model. They love him because he isn't a professional so he never puts in enough work to break the tools. Not saying harbor freight is trash but I would pick tekton over icon any day.
half of youtube is on the tekton crap payroll too
Brian you do use tools but your not an auto mechanic. Your smashing on Red for some of his deceptions but your also deceptive too brother. You should be 100% honest too brother. Personally idgaf about icon myself. That sh!t ain’t no better than Pittsburgh. You are so damn upset about icon not giving you tools anymore that now you’ve mentioned it in how many damn videos now?
He probably got mad because he thought that they were going to start giving you stuff instead of him lol
Redemption Garage FOREVER, DOT and the Talkn Bear NEVER! WOOOOOOOOOO!
The bear is a joke.
Four years later this video is still fun.
🤔Why would anyone trust a "tool review" from someone that doesn't use tools for living? Fool Bear is a tool googleler, he's a joke.
@Mike41 reread what I wrote.
I used to watch that bear fella and stopped after looking at his comments. If you think anything is better than HF youll get a comment from him say something like your stupid for buying quality tools
How dare you support a American company that pays a livable income to their employees for quality USA made tools and not offshore sweatshop made tools sold by minimum wage workers? Tisk, tisk...
I lost what little respect I had for that guy when he started making fun of Snap-on stock price dropping during the pandemic. How American of him. 🇺🇸
Some people think before they speak to the point they edit themselves. You speak what you feel, people see that.
I was looking at the 12 volt HF Hercules drill, it said to compare to Milwaukee, so I did. The Milwaukee was actually cheaper that week, so I bought the Milwaukee. I like the Bear, but I usually watch several videos, and decide on my own.
The guy literally sat behind a desk before youtube. How many times has he stepped on a tool truck or dealt with on truck warranties. I mean can you blame the guy for protecting his pay check. Seriously how did he become a tool authority. He reminds me of a fucking Kirby vacuum salesman, offers some free bull shit to get in the door then offers a piece of shit no one needs. How can you trust someone who promotes 2 brands basically. Kobalt and harborfreight . Never been in an of the trades at all yet people listen to him. We can all read manuals to check out specs but we watch these vids to actually see the tools in use by people who actually use tools daily. If someone showed up to my jobsite rocking hazardous fart tools I would tell them to pack there shit and bounce. Stay in your lane. Eff em all Brian
It's funny you would bounce someone because of the tools they own. If it gets the job done on time who cares what brand they are. Being in the trades myself both construction and automotive. I have had my stuff stolen many times. Yes they are insured and replaced. But who wants that hassle? After a few claims rates go up and companies get suspicious. After the last time my truck was broken into on the job site. I was fed up, so I went to Harbor Frieght and Lowes to replaced my stolen power tools and hand tools. Yes you get what you pay for. But both of these brands make quality products and junk as well. Just like all the big brands do. Since replacing them with these brands. I still get the job done in the same amount of time and they don't get stolen either. Tools are like blue jeans everybody makes them. Some better than others. Try them out and buy what fits and feels the best to you. I have never had any issue with warranty replacement with either line. Tools don't make person. It's the person that knows how to use a tool. That get the job done on time and correctly.
@@erikc3936 getting your tools stolen and replacing with what you can is a different story, I too have been in both trades went to school to be a mechanic, got my certs for mechanical and auto body ( ase & I car). I went back to construction when I wanted my own business. In both fields every time someone has shown up or wreched with all the cheapest stuff they didn't care about their craft and it was all about a paycheck, on the job sites they were lazy hacks. That's my experience. Being the boss though I make a choice who's on my site and that's my choice to make. I'm not saying either if you had a few cheap tools you gone, but if you have been in trades for any length of time you should be past only having the cheapest stuff available, I'm sorry but I don't HF drills and impacts (construction impacts 1/4") hold a candle to rigid, makita, bosch, milwaukee, kobalt or others, shit even some porter cable was decent. Do I own cheap tool? Oh hell yeah one of my favorites for decks and fences are both my kobalt 7 1/4" sliding mitre saws. I'm working in a lot of multi million dollar homes where caulk and paint doesn't cut it.
“Free tools” as with most free stuff comes with a price. Even though a company should learn from negative comments, most companies reactions are going to be mostly negative because they are trying to make money off of things they are having reviewed. Plus it’s a pride thing when people are insulted by an opinion that differs from their own.
Hopefully HF will move forward and improve their offerings.
Random question I lost one of my icon sockets can I contact harbor freight for a replacement I’ll pay for it but just a random question.
Anyone who puts Hercules on a pedestal over Milwaukee is 100% full of shit. Sorry but Milwaukee is light years ahead of everything on the market. Joey homeowners might go grab some HF power tools but professionals are not turning in their trusted brands for any Icon Pittsburgh Hercules or any other HF flavor of the week.
Bear opinion is worthless because he doesn’t work!
I wouldn’t take fitnesses tips from some one that’s out of shape!
Or financial advice from a broke person.
SO-CAL OZZY Goddamn 🤣🤣🤣🤣 true
I think that bear gets pay by Hf
I buy tools that works for me
I do like Milwaukee but not every Milwaukee is the best
I just got my limit two dozen eggs and some tp and stood in line 6 ft apart it’s good too hear something normal like RUclips tool wars !! Woohoo it’s like the old days 4 months ago thanks for bringing back normal!
PLEASE STOP the internet beef!!!
Contact each other and resolve this juvenality for all involved PLEASE. This time is not the climate for this. Things are bad enough as it is!
Just do what he says. Shine on!
13,000 dollars worth of tools? I wouldn’t sell that for shit!
Hey Man I have not heard you say anything wrong about anything, your opinion is as clean as your experience with their tools, you try em, then you share your experience, there is nothing wrong with that plus you help us take better decisions on the money we will spend, nobody and I say it loud nobody wants to invest blindfolded. I own cheap tools to work professionally because they work, I own expensive tools to work professionally because they work, and the tools I own I bought based on honest opinions.
The bear and his channel is a joke !! Straight up your channel kicks ass keep doing what you do brother. You work and you can tell that what you say is real
I don't know you, and did not see the vid the bear mentioned you in. I was recommended your video and watched it. I just have to ask, is there no tool at HF that is good value? Are all their tools crap? Is there nothing in their lineup worth buying over another brand? And can you recomend a good cordless jig saw?
I can't stand people who "think" they know what snap on will and will not warranty. It all depends on the franchise owner, buy tools from them and they will most likely go out out of their way to warranty it for you. You are HIS customer, not corporates. I've had so many pawnshop and yard sale tools warranted by my rep that I openly explained where they come from. People who have actuall jobs where they use their tools everyday and buy from Snap-on knows what's up.
It’s the dishonesty that gets to me.
Example: This one reviewer a little while ago tried to claim the Icon torque wrench has a lifetime warranty and Snap On is one year. Um, no, they are both lifetime on the tool and the calibration on the Snap On is one year. The calibration on the Icon is 90 days.
They count on people not reading the fine print.
Dude this video made my day!! I am so glad you called out "The den of fools"! I have been saying it for months, he has no idea what he is talking about! I would pay to see him just change a tyre on a car! Yet his followers believe him to to grave. 😂😂😂😂 and his hate to the tool trucl brands is something to laugh about. Such a clown! That bell they ring when someone makes a donation is a joke to any adult.
