HERCULES TOOLS COMING SOON
Harbor Freight came in clutch at SEMA 2024. They announced a host of new tools including quite a few Hercules power tools being released in March of 2025.
HERCULES VS BAUER | MILWAUKEE VS DEWALT | RYOBI VS DEWALT | RYOBI VS MILWAUKEE
Updated March 22, 2025
NEW HERCULES SURFACE CONDITIONING TOOL
Harbor Freight currently sells a corded surface conditioning tool under the Bauer lineup, but is usually a bit less capable than Hercules.
Both look very similar to the Eastwood surface conditioning tool, but the Hercules is an upgrade from the Bauer. And the HERCULES 9 Amp Variable-Speed Surface Conditioning Tool is now available for purchase. Here’s the full specs:
Weight: 8.4 lb.
Max Speed: 3,700 RPM
Amperage: 9
Included Accessories: 40-grit non-woven stripping drum
Along with the Hercules version of the surface conditioning tool, Harbor Freight also released an upgraded set of surface conditioning drums.
NEW HERCULES RIGHT ANGLE DIE GRINDER
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE TOOLS IS A RIGHT ANGLE DIE GRINDER
A right-angle die grinder can be used with carbide die bits, sanding pads, wire wheels, or even decal removers.
The Harbor Freight Hercules Right Angle Die Grinder is now available and here’s the full specs:
Battery Voltage: 12v
Motor Type: Brushless
Weight (Without Battery): 1.18
Max Speed: 25,000 RPM
Speed settings: 4
Included Accessories: Belt hook and attachment screw
It’s smaller in width compared to our Ryobi Right Angle Die Grinder so we might have to switch from Ryobi to Hercules…
NEW HERCULES REAR HANDLE AND COMPACT CIRCULAR SAWS
Besides tools that are geared for automotive restoration, Hercules is adding two new circular saws the the cordless lineup. The 4 1/2” compact circular saw and a larger 7 1/4” rear handle circular saw. Both are great for handling any wood-based projects.
NEW HERCULES BRUSHLESS JIG SAW
The new 20v cordless brushless jig saw can handle cutting wood or steel with the right set of bits. This new model is brushless, has a 0-45 degree adjustable bevel shoe, and a vacuum port too.
You can now pick up the HERCULES 20V Brushless Cordless Variable-Speed Jig Saw from your local Harbor Freight today. Here’s the full specs:
Battery Voltage: 20v
Motor Type: Brushless
Weight (Without Battery): 5.72
Max Speed: 3000 SPM
Stroke Length: 1 in.
Included Accessories: Shoe guard, anti-splinter insert, dust-extraction tube
NEW HERCULES COMPACT BAND SAW
Hercules currently has a 5 in. x 5 in. deep cut cordless band saw, but it’s pretty large. So Hercules is releasing a cordless “compact” band saw. A small band saw like this makes cutting any type of pipes up to 2 1/2 inches in diameter a breeze.
