In this video we talk about my jump to the Hercules line, showcase what we picked up, and highlight a few other recent releases from Harbor Freight. The Time Stamps are there if you want to skip around.

@0:00 Intro
@0:15 Lag Screws and Pallets
-Wasting a LOT of time turning the screws manually...There is very limited clearance and you often have to resort to using a wrench as opposed to a ratchet and socket. I basically have (4) lag screws to remove before lifting the motor and then I have another series of bolts to remove that hold the straps to the motor itself...Then, those bolts are either run back in, or I install hex plugs if they were included. Past that, there is attaching the down side's lifting hook. I've been doing all of this manually and the lag screws in particularly just eat up a TON of time, so I wanted to pick up a battery powered ratchet...mainly because of the clearance issues with the lag screws and junction box.
@2:55 Extended Reach 3/8" Drive Ratchet
@3:20 Battery Powered Ratchet Location at Harbor Freight
-Why are they not WITH the other battery powered tools? So strange that they are with air impacts, yet battery powered impacts are with the battery powered tools. Are all HF's like that, or just mine?
@4:10 Store Security Profiles
@4:45 No 12V Batteries
-Luckily the employee caught me with the ratchet and said they haven't had batteries for months and basically have no clue when they will actually be in stock. This is a big deal because I have no 12v batteries to use the tool
@5:40 US General Colored Magnets, $5.49
I bought these to hold chainfalls off the gantry. Also of note, the green is a near perfect match for my OEM Rotating Engine Stand!

@7:10 Why Hercules?
-I have invested in Ridgid power tools, based on my happiness with their corded shop vac. However, Ridgid does not offer a battery powered ratchet and that is what I need for tight clearance to extract the lag screws. This means I would have to invest in a different platform as opposed to the usual approach of "get Milwaukee" I opted to try Hercules.
@8:32 Hercules 20V/12V/USB Dual Charger, $59.99

@9:32 Hercules 20V 5ah Battery, $64.99

I hope to score a 12V Battery for the ratchet, but the dual charger will allow me to charge both and simultaneously.
@11:08 Hercules 20V Compact 1/4" Hex Impact Driver, $49.99
[ Ссылка ]?
Not 100% sure I can get access to the j-box sided lag screws, but since I had spent so much time picking the charger and battery...plus, not knowing if the 20V batteries would sell out, I opted to go this route.
When the 12V battries are in, I might get a single charger to keep at work, along with a 12V battery of course, to save $25 on the bundle.
