No. Not even arguable. Most Makita tools are professional grade. Bauer by Harbor Freight's own admission is their lower end line. If you mean value, maybe, but not for performance and quality. I am seeing more of their Hercules turning up in the field, so some of those may be in the running, but not the Bauer line.

Leaves makita in the dust
you have lost your mind
nothing from harbor freight comes close to makita
i was using dewalt and milwakee until i got a makita drill driver combo set second hand from a friend shortly after i bought the cordless grinder and circular saw all the tools are working flawlessly now for 4 years all 4 batteries still take and hold excellent charge i have dropped a battery off the roof onto cement i have left the grinder and a battery in the rain overnight twice and the circular saw cuts straight and smooth the easiest circular saw to cut with without a guide.
saying hercules can compare to makita is laughable and i am ebarrased for you

The tool game has changed, brushless hercules is on par with M18. Fanbois will keep being stuck with the legacy brands. Hercules is basically doing what Toyota and Honda did to American brands in the 70s and 80s.

I have left my hercules tools and batteries in far worse conditions. I am "ebarrased" for your spelling. You even edited your comment and didn't catch that. Have you lost your mind.
This thread is for Makita, not Hercules. Therefore your comments comparing Makita brand with Hercules are irrelevant here. If you like your Hercules - go to HF thread to brag, no one cares here. Again, let me spell it for you: M-A-K-I-T-A.

It's not a ratcheting impact. It's a nut runner, so torque isn't that important. However, you can apply torque as if it were a ratchet.
Yah the breaking force is the same amongst most of these and the least important detail, but in terms of speed it was on the slower end of spinning nuts/bolts on off compared to other competitors.

How's the blower?
Light saw dust blowing is all i use it for. Definitely not a candidate to take care of wet leaves whatsoever

Does Makita specialize in any type of tool? I generally run Milwaukee or Dewalt so interested to know if Makita does anything better than either of those two.

Also, can confirm Hercules Brushless is mind-blowingly impressive...especially for the price point

I guess Home Depot deals might be a bit sweeter since those are hackable?
I just hacked Home Depot for the two batteries and charger. It came out to be $107. Then my Home Depot has the blower and edger on clearance for $180 for both. If HD lowers the price n(on the blower and edger) within 30 days, which they occasionally do, I will price match.

Good imho. I was actually looking at the 40 volt blower for a while because I have some of makitas 40 tools already but just took a good look at the 18 volt, read reviews and watched some comp videos, and it is absolutely solid and will do 80 - 90% of everything the 40 volt would do, so I picked up the deal from Home Depot.
All blowers do the same thing. Some just better than others lol

HD itemizes receipts based on actual cost. So a $200 item with a free $200 item rings up as two $100 items with a $200 total discount. You can return one and just keep the other for $100. If you dont need the batteries its a $150 tool on sale for $100 that way.
