Tool shoot prep.

What happens here

The presenter displays the power tools to be tested, specifically cordless drills and impact drivers from Harbor Freight's Bauer and Hercules lines. He notes that he purchased larger 8 amp-hour batteries separately for the tests, as the standard included batteries are often 'small' and 'yucky', although he will use the smaller ones initially for setup. He explains that larger capacity batteries from premium brands like Milwaukee or DeWalt can be very expensive (over $200), and he wants to see if the upgraded Harbor Freight batteries offer comparable value.

Goal: Identify the specific tools and batteries for testing
