    I use the Hercules line and like you’ve said in a previous video, I’m 2 years in on the construction trade, so Still learning and buying tools as I go, doing maintenance and beyond. We do fencing, house remodeling, and whatever else to keep the money flowing.The impact is fantastic, building a huge fence with Phillips screws sucks but the T 25s and all the star bits have done the job and then some. My boss was impressed and liked using it as well and he uses all Dewalt stuff and was definitely impressed. The Hercules miter saw is pretty legit as well.

    I initially bought into the Hercules platform for 2 reasons... 1. I needed a "cheap" drill/driver to keep in the camper... and 2. The batteries were cheap, and lots of online reviews said the batteries were among the best quality of any cordless platform, and CHEAP. After using the *cheap* 20V Herc drill/driver, it won me over and ended up replacing my older DeWalt 14.4v drill/driver. Very pleased with the Herc. I've since bought the recip saw, blower, 20V impact driver, and Hercules Circular saw. I'm just a home gamer, but I'm impressed with the performance of these tools. Another factor is that I drive past HF almost every day, so If I need a replacement, *BAM* I got a brand new tool going home with me same day, no questions asked. That in and of itself is worth something!! I would say that these Herc tools are pro quality, even if they may be older tech. For a home gamer or light pro use, I think they're tough to beat. I was skeptical when I bought the first 20V drill/driver... but the quality of the tools have won me over completely. I'm completely satisfied with all my Herc tools so far! I'd like to see you guys do a review on more of the Herc tools... My Herc Circ saw looks almost like a carbon copy of the Milwaukee Fuel 6 1/2" Fuel cordless saw, except with a brushed motor. Brushed motors built America... just remember!! And never shop at HF without a COUPON! lol

    Hi Guys!!! Hey Vince/Nick, thanks for reviewing this kit! I've been eager to see what you thought of it. I have this kit and like it pretty well. Unlike many other kits, this kit has extra long bits so I don't have to use an extender sleeve all the time. The two nut drivers have good magnets in them and work well. And, this kit has two sleeves when many kits just have one. It is disappointing to see the torx bits being slippery and the magnetic sleeve not very magnetic. Plus, the cost/bit is double of others! Maybe it's a good time for me to look at DeWalt or Milwaukee bits. On a separate note, the one thing that drives me crazy about Milwaukee Shockwave drill bit kits is the difficulty in removing drill bits from the plastic box. How do you remove a Shockwave drill bit without scuffing up your hand by grabbing the sharp end of the bit?

    If you don’t have a bunch of start up money to buy all of the nicest tools, Hercules will get the job done and in my experience has been no compromise. I would gladly admit if it’s failed and was a crappy tool, because obviously wasting money on tools that don’t work or fails on the job sucks, but people who work everyday and have to spend their money wisely can’t always be a tool snob. I’d love to own all Milwaukee tools, maybe one day, but I use the Hercules stuff every day and put them through hell and they have done great. It’ll also piss people off because they can’t wrap their head around the fact that it last or that it outperforms a lot of the so called top name brand tools out there. It ain’t easy being cheesy.

    Do have one question for ya. How “easy” is it to remove & put back the bits in the case; are they kind of had/tight, or not bad removing & putting back in? Example: Milwaukee shockwave bits/cases, compared to DeWalt & Makita etc... (know what I mean w/ the Milwaukee shockwave 😉, especially if wearing gloves).
    Thx for the testing & your thoughts on these bits Vince. You guys rock for picking up tools & accessories to test for us all💪🏼
