Not so much combo kits. but what I've always wanted to see at harbor freight is individual tools. It would be nice to be able to get a random missing socket replaced without buying a kit.
You can if you call headquarters I did it for my icon sets
Is it the 10 or the 8 you're missing? Hahaha
I agree with this....lots of times I already have a bunch of sockets and wrenches but either lose or the sets are missing certain sizes and it would be nice to fill in or replace those individual tools.
Same with wrenches and screw drivers
The Bauer "garage monkey" cordless combo: 1/2" Impact wrench, 3/8" ratchet, angle grinder, LED work light, 2 20V batteries, charger
This, I’ll never buy it because I’m too invested in Milwaukee but if not I’d be all over that
This! Lots of people don't realize how good they are
I would be all over this.
I’ll never buy another cordless Bauer anything. I have a couple of their drills and the they are so wobbly plus the batteries randomly shut off when they still have one or two bars showing. I’m heavily invested in the Kobalt XTR and that is leaps better than my Bauer’s.
This only if it's all brushless
I honestly would like to see a 'build it yourself' combo kit, where you select, say, 3 tools, a couple batteries and a charger, at a discount from the individual price so you can make a kit that's all killer, no filler.
Oh, and Bauer cordless ratchets.
I agree, I own a Bauer product, and I would like a way of buying more in the line as a combo that does not include what I already have.
I'm pretty sure Bauer ratchets are coming any time now. I saw a leak somewhere
At least at my store, we do have a promotion for both Hercules and bauer that you buy a 5 ah battery, a specific charger, and then you get the tool discounted. It discounts each piece to where you get the tool for free basically. That's really the only thing, though. Recently we've even started doing it with our atlas outdoor tools, but it doesn't include the charger. Just the big 40v/80v battery and a tool
Yep, a pick 5, whatever number price.
I burned up my old grinder 2 weeks ago and needed one to strip a hotel pool floor. I picked up a Hercules just to try it out and I was impressed. It stripped the entire floor and still works as it should. Pretty much it ran under load continuously for about 18 hours. I honestly didn’t expect it to survive.
Anyone else run this at 2x speed and not miss a single word?
Best comment ever! Thanks for the game changer 😂
This is the only way I’ve been watching most my videos now
Its a different video 😂 but I still managed to understand everything
Thank you
Always watch at 2x
I was hoping for them to start selling individually sockets and wrenches. Maybe someday. Still cool to see combo kits coming out.
Yes, me too
As someone who works at HFT I am basically asked that question every day. Plus people ask for sockets bigger then 32MM pretty often but don't want to spend $200 on the 1" drive kit.
I've said this a few times. The current deal of buy a battery and charger get a tool free is great except what if I don't need/want the charger? Give a mix and match option. Buy two batteries and get a tool free. Now that I would jump on!
You can immediately return just the charger, the tool, and/or the battery for the reduced rate.
Good tip, heck, I've got 5-6 chargers now.
I agree! Bring on the two battery deal!
@@DB-yj3qcreally? They let you do that? I didnt even try because I didn't think that would fly..
I used the deal 5 or 6 times over when I dove in head first on Hercules a couple months ago, returned 2 batteries and 4 chargers in one go and had no issues, there's a reason each item gets prorated on the receipt, just don't abuse it
Welcome back!!! I started to miss the tool bear in a Cowboy bay. You sound and look well. God speed on any reaming recovery from your surgery.
Combo kits is a game changer and much more affordable for those who are starting out. I’m glad you’re feeling better as well. 💪👍
I think a good idea would be power tool kits based on activities. Such as one for lawn/home care kits, mechanics kits, construction guys/woodworkers, etc.
Thisss
Thanks for the great news Jeff! How awesome is that? Combo kits! So when is Harbor Freight coming out with the brushless kits? They definitely need to do that!! I pray you have continued healing and please don't do anything questionable that could derail your progress. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
So glad to see you well along the recovery road, Red.
Looks and sounds like the Bear is feelin' better!
I'm sure he's Beary thankful
Looks like he was bearly affected at all 👍
He bear be takin' it easy like the doc said.
No skip various styles socket sets!
Or expand their single sockets and wrenches.
Hercules all brushless kit would probably pull me to this line. I would also like to see a Hercules Pex crimp ring tool like Ryobi P661
Herc propress just to change the game.
Great video thanks for sharing. Glad to see you feeling better Jeff 🙏🏻 for a speedy recovery
Jeff, good to see you back like yourself! Enjoyed the news!👍🏼
All brushless is a must with Multi-tool, drill, impact, and grinder. Battery kits with larger 5mah capacity. Love the bauer line. Will look into them when they come out.
A brushless flashlight is the greatest tool innovation in 15 years.
It’s one of the reasons I only use Organic Firewood 🪵
If it's Horror Fright Tools it's a broken flashlight 🔦 😉
😂😂
I’m gonna miss my old brushed version.
😂😂😂😂. But how do you keep the lens clear? The wireless batteries are the best!
All in for a brushless Bauer combo kit. I’ll stretch it out and buy one at a time before I go with brushed tools. Brushless and Bauer can’t be beat.
I went all in with the Bumble Bee brigade two weeks ago at Farm & Fleet and bought the Dewalt DCF900 1/2 drive high torque impact wrench came with charger, 5AH battery and a bag and they threw in a set of 7 free deep impact sockets $299. Last week picked up from F&F the dewalt trimmer/blower kit 4AH battery and charger $199.
F&F is great for tools
I'm glad you're recovering well..
Thanks for the HF updates!
Jeff, I think there is one change they could make that would make this one seem tame. And that would be order online and pick up in store.
YES!!! U SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLACE ONLINE ORDERS! EVEN GET DELIVERY IF U WANT OR NEED IT!
Sometimes when it first comes out esp its not in ur store for a while or its gone the 2nd they get a few! So def need good combo kits need then BL and need to be able to order onine!!
That would solve all the issues of people claiming they saw it on the website and then the product doesn't exist or they argue it says in stock on the website . If they see it on the website then they can just order it if we actually have it.
I agree, Doc! I was quite surprised when I found out that I couldn't do that.
This might seem petty, but, I stopped by my HF on the last day of one of their sales, and found a good deal on a large item that wouldn't fit in my daughter's car. It was nearly closing time, and I asked if I could just pick up the item in the morning with my truck. The employee told me that they couldn't do that, because it wasn't in their inventory anymore. I didn't understand what difference that would make, but I didn't ask.
After convincing my daughter it would be ok, we put some cardboard on her trunk and roof, and slid it up on top of her car. Had to buy some on sale ratchet straps, but we got it home.
I like the idea of kits. What I'd prefer is the option to buy the kit with or without a charger. I already have two Hercules chargers. I keep the extra one in a drawer for when the first one quits working. I really don't want or need any more chargers. More tools, extra batteries? Yes! Additional chargers? Nope! It's just one more thing to store or give to the thrift store.
I only buy kits because of the discounts. If I could buy bare tools at kit prices, I'd rather not have a bunch of chargers and batteries I never use.
I've thrown their chargers away. Give us the option of not having to buy one.
@@ctrlaltdebugyou can get better deals than their kit prices. I bought a couple of kits so I could get the chargers but the better deals were buying a tool and getting a free battery. I can live with one charger but I like having the five extra batteries I have.
I need to just expand the Hercules line. They need to come out with a sabre saw. I have enough chargers so I don't need any kits. I like to buy a tool and get a free battery.
Hey if u get any or got any Herc chargers send me one! I'm looking to get into their line! But I'd like a charger! Prefer those double chargers!
And again Bauer has come out with yet another Herc has not! The 6 port charger! I like most say IF HERC IS UR TOP DOG THEN THEY NEED TO BE COMING OUT WITH SHIT 1ST AND WITH FARRR MORE TOOLS!
It makes the most sense for Harbor Freight to go after certain types of people. For example a mechanics set with a cordless ratchet, an impact, batteries and maybe a drill?
With the Bauer ratchet coming it could be done for Bauer and herc.
I'm not a mechanic but just with my own vehicle and equipment maintenance a combo like that would be very useful for people....if they're just getting in to the tool platform and need those tools, it would be a great combo to pickup for sure. Maybe they could do something like that and include the socket sets, or at least say 5-10 percent off the socket sets when you buy the combo tool kit.
Also they might want to add a🔥 buy more save more🔥 with the newer kits. Maybe a Hercules rocket light, full line of 20v nailers as well.
Hey Bear! Happy to see you back on your feet, buddy!
As for the question of the day, I'm actually NOT a fan of combo kits.....
Hear my out......typically, the combo kits include items that never get used.
Sure you get lots of tools for a discount, but in reality, some of those tools end up in the trash.
On the other hand, i like the package deals like they are running right now. Buy a 5amp and charger for $99, and get a free tool.
What would be even cooler, buy a 12amp battery and dual charger and get 2 or 3 free tools including all cordless tools. Like EVERY TOOL!
The cool thing about HF is, they are able to be more creative than any other manufacture!
Imagine this......
Buy a 12amp battery and dual charger, and get any cordless tool and a packout tool box for free!
Yeah buddy! They can mix it up because they have that flexibility that nobody else does!
Or even this......
They can release an ICON Pro Mechanics Set which has 400 to 600 piece tool set, and get a free 56" ICON tool box!!!!
Come on man!!!!
How cool would that be!!!!
Last month I purchased 2 72" series 3 boxes, 2 30" carts, every single hercules tool that was included in the buy a battery and charger get a cordless tool free, the hercules miter saw, the herclues table say, tons of ICON wrenches, all 3 sets of the Quinn impact sockets, 1 6" Doyle vise/anvil, lots of painters supplies, nearly every single ICON and Doyle plier set, the Doyle screwdriver set, and im sure im missing some items.......after all my discounts and taking advanyage of the additional 10% with my HF Card, i walked out just shy of $7K.
Now, my point is.....just because HF caters to the frugal shopper, doesnt mean there are not deep pocket guys who shop at HF. I can afford tool truck pricing, but i didnt get where i am today being that guy. I can careless about having SnapOn logo on my toolbox!
The fact is, SnapOn, Milwaukee, name brands, etc.....are not worth paying 4 times what HF store put out.
Since Hercules, ICON, Quinn, Doyle, even US General, have stepped up with options expanded, I truly believe more and more guys (and gals) will eventually realize the savings they can take advantage of moving away from the tool trucks and other over priced brands on the market!
Bottom line, HF IS DISRUPTING the tool market!
AND I LOVE IT!!!!!! 💯👊💪
We want individual sockets and wrenches. If I break an Icon socket, do I have to bring the rest of the set in to get a replacement?
hello again this is a PSS to my previous comment. I'm not quite sure if you realize how many disabled Wounded Warrior or multiple sclerosis people look at your videos and blogs all the time and how much we appreciate the time and effort you put it to your videos and to help and time and how much we appreciate time and effort into helping us to find the right tool for the right job. so this is really just another thank you for doing the footwork for the people who can't.
I only have one Herc 20v tool. But I stocked up on some 20v batteries in the last couple sales in anticipation of an expanded product line. They are in competition with Ryobi for my money, and Ryobi keeps putting out stuff I want, hot glue gun for example. So my Ryobi collection is growing and I’m sitting on Herc batteries waiting for something to happen
I have the Bauer hot glue gun, it works very well, and heats up really good. I've only used it a couple times so far, but its great when you need that option away from an outlet....although I guess not much of an issue as they seem to have a power inverter as well now.
@@wildbill23c ya, I think I bought into the wrong line. I should have gotten Bauer batteries.
@@jim3922 To be honest I'm not sure why they have 2 different lines like they do. They're not that far apart in specs to really justify 2 different colors of the same tools....Bauer though has far more tool options than Hercules offers. I have both platforms, but have quite a bit more Bauer stuff.
I would like to see a woodworkers combo kit. That would be awesome.
Bauer Scrapper Kit. Impact driver, angle grinder, reciprocating saw, 2 x 5ampH batteries, charger. Purchase includes 20% off coupon good towards the purchase of a driver bit set, or a pack of cut-off discs, or pack of saw blades. All brushless of course.
Recently got into the Bauer line for home usage so I can keep my Milwaukee tools at work (carpenter) and I have to say, I'm loving the tools I've gotten so far! I'd love to see a rear handle circular saw and a brushless hammer drill/driver.
I actually think most Bauer tools should be brushed. Or just don't phase out the brushed option for the brushless. For example a brushed recip saw @ $49 used to be even cheaper but that's a good buy. I'm fine with the brushed for what I do around the house. They have the brushless model for $64.99. I don't want to pay over $50 for one of these because if I was going to get into to heavy duty recip sawing I would grab my old corded Dewalt and saw all day. It's cool to have brushless but don't phase out the cheaper brushes options. I think if you really want a line up of brushless that's when they should encourage people to look at the Hercules line.
Yeah I got 15-year-old Milwaukee impact drivers that still work great. Don't work quite as good as a $200 DeWalt double stack that I have at work but they are great for around the house.
Disagree, brush tools shouldn't exist anymore, need to be banned!
great video i would like to see a 12v combo kit with the battery charger and the long reach ratchet
Glad you are feeling better and back at it!!!!
Good video I am hoping for a Bauer framing nail gun . I all ready have most of the battery tools. Take care be safe and well.
Combos aren't so important to me, as I'm already all in on the herc stuff, but how do we still not have a 20v cordless Hercules tire inflator?
Build your own Hercules combo kit.
Speaking of Hercules, one of the most important tools is still missing, brushless cordless jig saw.
AAAAMEN TO THAT! WHERE'S A GOOD KOBALT TYPE METABO TYPE JIG!!! COMINE THE BEST OF THOSE 2 AND U GOT ONE HELL OF A JIG!!
AND SKILS JIGS R GREAT TO! THAT HALO LIGHT WOW! AND YA HERC BAUER MAKE SURE U GIVE US THOSE SKIL LIGHTS!!! And Bauer needs to improve their jigs improve the looks of theirs! I desp need a good jig!! And rt now I'm looking at SKIL for price as well! I just like the looks price and what they offer in the tool...
👍
im not sure if im crazy but Icon already had a 1/2 impact swivel set out right ? I was so confused when I saw it re released and I still dont have an answer
I have been waiting a long time for Combo Kits. Can't wait to see what they put together.
Nice to see you're recovering Bear. Shine On!!
a brushless flashlight?!?!?!?!?!?!?! count me in!
They have that neat little Icon 1/4” insert and ratchet set….. it just needs space to add a few sockets or come with an option of either metric or SAE sockets.
A version like what you’re describing was announced at SEMA and is supposed to come out this year. I’ve been waiting ever since for some news on it!
@@BigRed600 that’s good to hear!
I recently bought a Hercules planer. I was seriously impressed. They need to make a joiner.
Sounds great!! I’m in Bauer line and want the cordless ratchet. That would be awesome
Great video. I love those swivel Icon impact sockets. Are you still doing Icon and Tekton tool tests and reviews?
Glad to see you back. I hope they do something for those of us who have been supporting the brands and paid the tool only prices for these things.
Waiting for HF to offer a drum sander to woodworkers. Several years back HF had a book of non-stocked items that could be ordered. I miss that option. Back then I ordered a combination sander (6x48 and 12-inch disk) with cast aluminum disk guard and two milled cast-iron tables for $239. Today equivalent sanders start in the high hundreds.
What I'd like to see at harbor freight for their combo deals, is something like RadioShack had back in the day with the accessories on cellular. The 10, 20, 30% discount incentive. An example, you buy a tool and battery and the next tool or battery (or charger) would be 10% off all of them, add another tool 20%, and the third tool 30% off. Even add other accessories like toolbags into the mix or as a add on to the kit.
I started with Skil some years ago then every time I would go to buy another tool it was only available in a $120 kit when I only wanted the $70 tool so I ended up with another brand that was running a special that weekend. Today I'm in 5 different lines because kits drove me away from buying the tool only.
Every brand has tool only. Sounds like you shop at discount box stores like Lowes or HD. Hardware stores, TSC, NAPA all offer name brand power tools individually
Also a self closing rake were you rake the leaves and pull the handle and it closes so you don't need to bend over to pick up the leaves/ debris
Jeff, I am a HUGE fan of the BAUER line of tools, and I have already built my own combo kit, but I would buy one of these in a heartbeat to leave at my daughter's home in another state when I go visit and do "Daddy' jobs for her. She & her husband just bought their first home, and I am packing for a trip there to do some jobs for her. If there are any "HFT Spy's" checking this, I would love to see a "Pro-Press" and PEX-A tools, I feel they could be a big hit (I know they would for me). furthermore, I would love a true "Main-Line" sewer snake with at least 125'-150' long snake. Rigid makes a snake that has an infinite cable capacity as you can add extra sections of cable to get the desired length needed. I'm sure I could think of more items...
I'd love to see the pex tools. I have the Ryobi and they are... well, just ok.
I’m very curious of the Quinn bolt extractors. I just had to use a similar item to get the rear differential cover bolts off my truck. They were very rusted. Luckily I had 2 brand new sets of Craftsman and Irwin. IMO the Irwin was superior over the craftsman’s. Had sharper cut in edges. Came in a nice box. The craftsman’s did come with the impact bit tho. But they were one use and just not as sharp and spun on the bolt head. The Irwin showed wear also but I feel they still can be used again. So I’m definitely interested in how well the Quinn are made and how sharp the internal edges are.
I wish they would extent the warranty on Hercules plug in tools.
I don't see the point in a cordless porta band but may go cordless just to get the longer warranty.
I guess I should look up what the extended warranty on the plug in one would be next time it goes on sale.
Bought a cordless Chicago electric impact driver about 12 yrs ago. Loved it. Used it until the ni cad battery died. The cheap blow mold case was alright too until it's hinge came un done. But because it served me well, I replaced it with the new at the time Hercules one. This was GREAT!!!! Li bat. And a SOLID blow mold case with super tough hinges, metal closing latches and a well thought out inside for the tool, charger, batteries and stuff. Soft tool bags AREN'T the same. The don't store away nicely and they don't protect the same. Now I'm stuck trying to find an ammo can or lunch box to put my recent purchase in. C'mon folks... it's just plastic. Not to mention HF won't be getting any additional advertising when this new tool is stored in an un labeled ammo can. Love my Hercules case!!!
I have that 150/300 lumen light. I got it mainly because I thought it would be useful in a power outage situation, but I have made use of it doing electrical work in the garage with lighting circuit off.
What about the power and air tool drawer organizer. I want one for in my Bauer pack out box and they have none near me in Wisconsin
Hercules Mechanic Combo Kit.. and a Drawer box for the Bauer Modular Rolling Toolbox. Thanks for the tool videos!
How about outside garden equipment. Chainsaw, polesaw, blower, and chain sharpener!
About time they listen and decide to do combo kits. Do combos minus the flashlight. I hate seeing 3, 4, 5 , etc tool combos and one of the tools are a flashlight. Now a tripod light system would be step above.
I don’t even think of HF for cordless tools. Ridgid are priced low enough without specials but I do watch for them! And lifetime warranty including batteries which is the killer on cordless. Just had a reciprocating saw die on me. They sent me FedEx label to drop off at and within 10 days I had it back! Can’t beat that.
I've seen the ultra torque kit on the "coming soon" for a while. I was happy to see it went live on the site earlier today. This combo kit news is great to hear.
Key to their combo kits for me: how will defect swap be handled? If 1 tool dies from the kit, will they replace the single tool, or do I have to round up the whole kit?
We just went, quite pleased with useful items to fix everything. Rechargeable batts, small dolly, air stapler, solar lights, etc.
I bought a pair of Harbor Freight's LED stick lights with the magnet on them so you can work under the hood of a car or truck last year. I noticed back in December while using them & the built in charger for the batteries the battery charger portion took a dump & I went to Amazon and purchased a combo pack of matching batteries for the lights plus a charging pack for the batteries. The two lights had the engine bay of my truck lit up like high noon at 10 p.m. here in MN. Said lights are their Braun stick lights.
4 battery tool lines. Atlas, Baur, Hercules, and warrior. The multiple battery types per brand is also slightly confusing. Baur has at least 2 in a 4v and 20v, Atlas has has 40v, 80v, and 40v/80v combo. I might be missing some
I’m wondering if you heard of any more about the Hercules 15mm cordless polisher that you shared in a previous video thanks again
I'd love to see a combo kit of the Bauer home and garden line. The trimmer, hedge cutter, leaf blower, chainsaw, and the five amp hour batteries and charger.
That $200 Bauer kit is a solid starter kit. About time HF offered that and it makes Bauer much more viable. People respond to deals like that. It's why everyone else does it. And once someone buys a kit, they will probably grab more tools and more tools and bam, you have the customer hooked and invested.
HARBOR FREIGHT…If you’re reading comments, please consider making a metal cutting saw ( not an abrasive chop saw like you already have) something like the Evolution mitering saw.
I got a Ridgid Brushless 1/2" high torque impact for $159 in a combo with a 4AH battery and charger. Lifetime service agreement on tool, battery, and charger. No way I was paying $189 tool only or $249 combo for Hercules.
I’d love to see more love given to the Hercules line and esp a herc pack out line of storage. Black and blue storage system would be awesome!!!
One good combo would be 1/4 1|2. And. 3/8. Impacts are 1/2 drill. And 4in grinder 5 tools with 3 batteries and charger .
I love the Harbor Freight Bauer Tools. I am looking forward to the combo kits that they are close to putting out. It will allow me to use the batteries with all of my Bauer Battery Powered Tools as well as pickup some new tools in the process. Can wait to get my hands on the kits!!!
I got a flyer and I wanted the item. I also picked up others too. I got to the counter and after adding it up, I said no, the flyer said and I showed it. OH THAT IS FOR SO AND SO PEOPLE. l look at him, he is the manager, so all this is a scam to get people in the store, then change them more? I don’t know if I will go back after this. Is there laws against this?
Would love to see a 2 or 3 drawer jobaite toolbox, like the packout or dewalt toughsystem 2
I love this idea, I would love to see half inch impact, ratchet, 3/8 impact, ratchet, 1/4 impact, ratchet all in one kit and all same battery
This is kind of switching gears, but of all the things I've purchased from HF, I am totally happy with the cordless LED trailer light set I purchased. I hmm'd and haw'd because of the $150 price tag, but they have been the most useful. They boast around 100 or 150 ft reception. My co-worker and I tested them in the parking lot at 800+ ft, direct line of sight, before loosing signal. Especially great for my boat trailer, as my boat trailer lights were a nightmare to keep maintained. When done traveling, just put them in the convenient case they came with.
I need the darn purple 5 drawer cart!
I got a 9 tool brushless RIGID kit for Christmas. 3 batteries and a charger. So, yes they do kits. HF needs to get in the kit game with brushless, batteries, and charger.
I've said this before on TTC but ill say it again. Im still hoping they can update or ad an additional hercules 1/2in compact impact that competes with the red and yellow brands, not the weak one they have now. Also a built in warranty for all the Hercules tools that arent brushless, even a year or two would be amazing. I run the ratchets, impacts, drills and cutoffs at work every day as a heavy duty truck mechanic and would love these updates!
Battery, charger and tool for 99(or89 for Bauer) seems like a pretty good combo to me!
Went to Chula Vista HF store, when I saw the checkout line, I thought I was in Fry’s Electronics with their COut line setup. 😂
Good to see you back from the surgery hope you're doing well brother. I'd like to see an impact driver combo kit in Hercules Brand with the 3/8, half inch and long slim impact driver maybe one battery like someone else on here said I don't need another charger
I finally broke down and picked up the Daytona 3-ton Super Duty Floor Jack, in Purple. I've been eyeing one for a long time, and not that I have any functional issues with my current NAPA 3.5 Ton Jack. But I always wanted a second jack, and I need one that had a lower profile frame than my NAPA, so I can get under my performance cars easier. Ideally it's low profile enough so I can actually get it under the front and rear bumper for the center lift point, so I don't have to jack each side separately (it might still be slightly too tall, but I can use some roll-on blocks to get the car high enough for the center lifts points to be useable). I know technically the 3 ton Daytona Low Profile Extra Reach jack has a slightly lower minimal lift height, and a slightly higher max lift, but the rear portion of the frame is actually higher than the Daytona Super Duty. Plus I kinda prefer the build quality/features of the Super Duty a bit more. Specifically all the grease fittings, and shielded bearings on the front wheels. For $239, not a bad deal for that Super Duty Jack. I paid around $220 for my NAPA Jack about 7 years ago, they currently sell the same jack for like $500+ at NAPA.
Have you tested the new Bauer drill presses? I was in the store the other day picking up some sanding items and seen the 12 inch drill press and it looks GREAT and well built I don’t know if I need a 12 inch drill press 😂 but it was tempting .
Another thing that needs to change is -- I was gonna get a end locker for my toolbox. Went to store to order and was told it would take 4 months to get it. 4 MONTHS! That’s bs. I’m not paying 3 or 400 bucks for any item that I have to wait that long to get.
Mosquitoes 🦟 are not attracted to bug lights unless you add skiter hormone additives. You kill more good bugs, like moths. I know nobody likes moths,but they are the best night pollinators and serve an important part of pollinatoring plants at home and farming.
I got a combo kit of dewalt stuff that wasn’t much more or possibly less than the tools from harbor freight. A Hercules kit probably could have swayed me. It was driver, hammer drill, circular saw, multi tool, charger, and a 2 and 5 ah batteries. Brushless XR for 350. Metabo was about the only one that was competitive.
I have a HF half inch high torque drill that I bought in 1992. The cord rotted off years ago. I spliced a new cord on it and it still out powers any other drill I have ever owned.
Any update on the Bauer 20v 1/2 ratchet?
The impact gun quarter inch the drill with hammer and the Sawzall and a and 7 1/2 inch circular saw should be the best combo kit ever and the charger with two batteries
Oh thank goodness I hope it's true. I really hate their little Ala carte tool+battery+charger deal. Having to piece everything together separately is really annoying.
Combo kits are the way to get people in the door and onto the platform. It makes it easy and more cost-effective for them to get into the lineup of power tools.
What we don't see a lot of is kits catered to those who already have the core tools. Have a build your own 6pc combo where you have a base of the batts, charger and light and then the buyer can add 3-4 tools. We don't see current kits with band saws or grinders that often. Impact wrenches and rachets. Revolutionize the combo kit
When are we getting the Bauer ratchet?
Summer.
How about a HF all automotive based Combo kit instead of Carpenter based kits?
“Atleast the flashlight’s brushless” 😂
I guess i as a small DIYer loved the tool only options since i don't need 500 batteries.
I would like a mechanic kit.. 3/8 and 1/2 impacts with ratchets etc..maybe a grease gun.. idk..
