Apparently the new line of HF tools, Hercules, has got it's

Hercules?* Will anyone pay $399 for a HF SCMS?

And the claimed "high efficiency dust collection" apparently means
that it will collect dust on the outside of the dust bag rather
than
in the bag.

No, Watch AVE's teardown of the hercules drills. Crap.


Love that guy!
I'm watching it, now.

Me too.* He speaks my language too.* He likes Hilti tools I think.
Not
at all impressed with the festering tools, (considering the price)* He
said the festering TS 55 is not designed for continuous use and abuse
that a contractor would need.

Duh!* It's not a contractor saw.

Just priced like one...

A BMW 7-Series is priced even higher!

Hilti on the other hand he thinks is over kill for the home user.
As a
home user, I wouldn't spend the bucks on either, but really, if I
wanted
to spend that much on a hand tool, I'd look at a Hilti first.

I bought my wife a kitchen aid mixer, and THEN watched his tear
down/review of the same mixer, holding my breath.* Seemed to pass so I
was happy.

He says no manufacturer would ever send him a tool for review, and
after
watching him a few times, I believe him.

So do I, but likely for a whole different reason than do you.

What might that be?

Because they don't want their tools associated with a nutter.

By "nutter" you must mean someone that will disassemble their tool
looking for built in weaknesses and expose them to the public?

That's exactly what I think as well...

Yeah, some one that likes to disassemble tools rather than use them.
