Apparently the new line of HF tools, Hercules, has got it's sites set
on the DeWalt DWS780. But is the price difference to enough to go
from a 3 year warranty on the DeWalt to a 90 day warranty for the
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?

Someone who has nothing better to do with his life? Yeah, an nutter.

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

...but not as nutty as those who click on his bait.


Man, are you a judgmental, crotchety old fart. :-)

Ayup!

The guy's has turned a hobby into a pretty decent part time job.
As someone who's gotten regular direct deposits from Youtube for my
content, I wish I had the followers and plays that he has.

I can sleep at night (well, not so much lately but...)

He's providing pretty entertaining and educational content and getting
paid pretty well for it. You condescending and ignorantly ask if he has
nothing better to do with his life?

I believe I was talking about the dummies who are paying for his fun
by taking the bait.

What would you prefer he do with his spare time? Watch TV all night?
How much do you get paid for bitching about guys putting videos on
YouTube?

He's fine. He understands his audience. I don't even blame Colbert.
