HERCULES TOOLS COMING SOON
This year 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.
NEW HERCULES SURFACE CONDITIONING TOOL
Harbor Freight currently sells a corded surface conditioning tool under the Bauer lineup.
Bauer is usually a bit less capable than Hercules. Both look very similar to the Eastwood surface conditioning tool, but the Hercules will be an upgrade from the Bauer.
Along with the Hercules version of the surface conditioning tool, Harbor Freight will also be releasing 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.
Harbor Freight is now adding a cordless right angle die grinder into their Hercules lineup. It’s smaller in width compared to our Ryobi Right Angle Die Grinder. 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.
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.
