When I first learned about the new Hercules 20V cordless power tools from Harbor Freight, I was impressed that they made tools that seemed on par with todays pro brands but at the same time I was unimpressed that they only have 3 tools available for purchase. Joshua B. found a flyer that shows that new more Hercules 20V tools are coming!
Eight new Hercules 20V tools, including a 6-volt battery, will be available soon.
The flyer doesnt list specs so well have to wait for more info. My guess is that all will most likely be brushed motor tools (except for the light and radio as those dont use motors) because all the new Harbor Freight 20V tools (including Earthquake XT and Bauer brands) are brushed motor tools. The side handle on the multitool is something I find odd, and it might just be a mistake in the picture. The angle grinder photo should have the side handle.
With the new added line up of tools makes the Hercules brand more appealing and gives users a definite upgrade path to build their collection. It is still unclear to me why they made 3 different 20V lines (Hercules Bauer and EarthquakeXT), when they could have just one cordless line. Why didn’t they make them compatible?
