I need something that can cut through a bank vault. Will this do the trick? Asking for a friend.
Were you able to achieve your goals ? :-)
Looks solid! Guys in the shop are using phenumatic die grinders but they just lack power. I was able to use a snap on die grinder and was impressed but I'm definitely not dropping $350+. This will definitely do the trick and they are on sale!
Awesome I'm glad i was able to help out so far I've been really impressed with it and having the blower in the shaft helps out a lot a lot thanks for the view and the comment much appreciated
Shaft 🤭
Looks sweet. Thanks for the review. I'm getting this as a small detail tool for stripping auto paint where I can't fit my sander or angle grinder. This is like a monster dremel rotary tool.
Thanks for the video man. Helped me decide about buying one.
I bought one of these two days ago. Your vid makes me think I made a good purchase. I haven't used it yet.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised it with it
Good review. I'm sold.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm buying one tomorrow.
Anytime glad I could help
Great video! It was very informative
Great "real-world" example tests!
Hey thanks i'm glad you found it helpful
Good video bud. Enjoyed the demo.
Thanks, great review.
Hey thanks for the view and the comment much appreciated
My Red one burned up the electric switch assembly after a 3rd cylinder head even with a potentiometer. I used the HF $25 drill to finish my heads.
I definitely hear you on that one my red one rattled apart so far I use the Hercules here and there and it's been great Thanks for the comment And The Have a Great Weekend
Nice job!
Great video! So 5 months later whats the updated review? How’s the tool holding up? Im looking into this to start porting manifolds Thanks
Hey thanks for the question so far it's been holding up really well I think for doing manifold you will be in great shape and it should be fine for you
What’s the difference between this and a rotary tool?
Hey thanks for the comment I think this is the exact same thing as a pneumatic diagrander except it's just an electric diagrander So I think if I understand you correctly a rotary tool and a diagrander in my mind would be the exact same thing
Sorry I didn't see all of the video yet, does this have a variable speed? I need it to only really get to about 4500 RPM. I need to get one of these to use a wire wheel to get rust off of a truck frame before I treat it and the wire wheel states a max of 4500 RPM. My angle grinder cant get into the smaller areas,
Unfortunately it is only a single speed and it's pretty fast what you may want to do is try using a needle scaler Thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated
Thanks bubba, going to pick It up today.
Hey thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated let me know how it works out
@@26feironworks79 will do, thanks!
There's no turbine. There'sa small fan too cool the motor. Great thought but that's just a place to hold it for control. The chief burr bits are great I've ported 8 sets of LS1 heads and they work good as new
it's so dry in Arizona that one can have a shop semi-outdoors like that?
Yes, it is definitely pretty dry here in Arizona, but when it does rain, it sucks.
At some point I definitely would like to enclose my shop. Just because things do get weathered and they do get dirty and there are animals here.
I just got one for 40 dollars open box and it works great
I am glad to hear it. I hope it works out really well for you and you're able to do some great stuff with it so far. I've been very happy with mine and it exceeded my expectations granted. I know it's not a matobo but it is still a great tool.
Is this thing still holding up? Thinking about purchasing one for some wood carving bits
It's still holding up really well.I only use it intermittently but for wood carving this thing would be ideal
@@26feironworks79 thank you so much for the update and info
What gear do I need as a beginner to start sticking pieces of metal together in my backyard?
How much money do you want to spend
FR shirts, always wear long sleeves and cotton. Its the best for sparks.
I got this and it says the collet is 1/4 in am I dumb for thinking it took 1/4in bits?
I don't think you're dumb I just think that the Box should have been a little bit more clear I think it should say it'll take anything with a quarter inch shank
@@26feironworks79 thanks for the quick response the collet was jammed all the way in fresh out of the box and I had never owned one before so I was confused needle nose did the trick
@@oo0nh0oo35 your comment saved me lolol thank you a year later sir
We repair roll off containers and put new walls and floors in them. Ungodly amount of rust.
I'm not too sure how well it would perform on larger areas what I would recommend doing is getting a needle scaler they seeme to be highly effective on rust and stuff like that thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated appreciated
Are collet & nut of Chicago Electric fit to the Hercules? I am having hard time finding the collet & nut for my Chicago Electric. I also wonder if collet & nut fromMakita and others will fit.
Hey that's a great question I've never had to Have a reason to find alternative ways I would go ahead and try and see how it works out I don't see why it wouldn't Work Sorry I'm not much help on this issue
I wonder how good the chief bits were, I almost bought them at HF but 70 buck's through me off, but if there any good there well worth that
Hey, that's a really, really good question. I've used mine here and there. And they seem to perform really well for what they are. I definitely will admit the price is kind of tall, but they seem to work for now, thanks again.
Hi I like your video the grinder seems to do what I want it to, but is it possible for you to explain how you install the Burr bits, I have to grinder brand new and I'm not able to install the1/4 bits collet seems to be to small I've call Harbor freight and hey can't explain how install the bits. all they say is that they should fit since they are 1/4" bits.
Do you have a digital caliber by chance
I picked up a 20 dollar reluctor with mine I'm gonna try with it to slow it down to use on a set of cast heads, I figured 4 amp is sufficient enough for that
Great idea, make sure you buy the extended warranty in case it doesn't work out.
My fingers are deformed from staying crossed 🤞, from what I gather as long as it's not brushless it should be ok, seen a few vids of guy's using them on similar tools ( router, grinder...etc and seemed to be ok
I use end grinders with key chucks at the end of the grinder
One is 260 watts and the others I have are 480 watts and one of them is 400 watts they do a great job for all a welder needs
Definitely works great for fixing all of terrible newbie welds 🙃
How is the new Hercules 4 amp die grinder holding up?
Hey so far I've been really happy with it
@@26feironworks79 Thank you. In your opinion do you think it would hold up a reasonable amount of time cutting automobile sheet metal in restoration work?
@@308hit Hey I think it would be perfect for something like that
How do you replace the brushes
Hey a great question I couldn't tell you because I haven't had to do that yet I'm sure if you did some scratching around on how to change brushes in a grinder you might be able to find some information thanks again
Can you run a skinner shank
That is an excellent question if there was a manufacturer such as makita dewalt ect if they had an 1/8 inch collet lit that worked with the same thread pattern as this machine it would probably work great
Why are die grinders so long? Lol. I could really use a shorter one.
To be honest with you I don't have an answer to that I would switch to a air diagrander if you need something that is smaller thanks for the comment and the view
Quality on a molecular level or the plutonic weight, huh? Ya, because that makes sense. God, please be joking!
Hey thanks for your input much appreciated you sound kind of annoyed by my comments if you go to the International journal of electro chemical science they publish some papers that have a lot of insights and hopefully it will make sense to you on what I was talking about thanks again
