## 5 Harbor Freight Deals You Won’t Find At Lowe’s

Bauer and Hercules are two of the most common in-house brands you’ll find at Harbor Freight. The two brands are aimed at slightly different bases, with most users preferring the quality of Hercules tools despite their slightly higher prices. One of Hercules’ highest-rated tools is its 20V 1/2-inch impact wrench kit that retails for $254.99 and enjoys an average customer rating of 4.9/5 stars.Harbor Freight compares this tool to a similar-spec Milwaukee kit, but for Lowe’s shoppers its closest equivalent is probably the DeWalt XR 20V max 1/2-inch impact wrench kit at $329.

Another Hercules tool that compares favorably to its rivals is the 20V cordless 7-1/4 Inch circular saw. It’s available from Harbor Freight for $99.99 as a standalone tool and the brushless motor can spin at up to 5,000 rpm; its maximum cutting depth is 2.5 inches and it has a maximum bevel angle of 50 degrees. that spec sheet is very similar to the Craftsman V20 RP 20V max 7-1/4 inch circular saw that’s available from Lowe’s, although the Craftsman saw has a maximum bevel angle of 56 degrees.Its maximum speed is also 5,000 rpm and it can cut a scant 1/8 inch deeper than the Hercules.

The hercules bare tool weighs 7.4 pounds to the Craftsman’s 7.1, and an installed 20V battery will add at least a pound to each tool. Even though the bare tools are quite similar, the Hercules is going to be the more sensible purchase for most users.
