Harbor Freight filled a booth at SEMA in Las Vegas with tools nobody can buy yet. Five of them are worth tracking: a pry bar set that fits in a pocket, two brushless Hercules drills, a portable lift rated for three tons, a wireless borescope, and a scanner built for heavy trucks.
The previews ran across the company’s ICON, HERCULES, and DAYTONA lines in the show’s Upper South Hall, and the calendar stretches out from spring 2027 to early 2028. Every date and spec below comes from Harbor Freight’s own releases.
Prices are missing because the company has not published them, and two of the five do not have a release window yet.
- ICON Mini Pry Bar Set: pocket-size pry bars with a lifetime guarantee, due early 2028
- Hercules 20V Pro drills: brushless compact and full-size drills, due spring 2027
- Daytona portable car lift: 6,000 lb capacity and a 21.75 in. maximum lift height, no date yet
- ICON 5 in. wireless borescope: dual-lens probe and an IP67 rating, no date yet
- ICON HD10 truck scanner: Class 4 to 8 coverage on 12V and 24V systems, due early 2027
ICON Mini Pry Bar Set
A straight blade and an angled blade make up the set, and both bars work from either side. Ground tips slide into seams a full-size bar would scar, and the angled bar carries a striking cap for work that needs a hammer behind it.
The pair covers prying and positioning work in trim, dashboards, and tight engine bays, sized for jobs where a screwdriver usually gets abused as a lever. Small is the whole design brief here.
Each bar rides in a pocket on a removable low-profile clip. A phosphate finish resists corrosion, and the set carries a lifetime guarantee. It lands in stores and online in early 2028, the longest wait of the five.
Hercules 20V Pro Compact Drill and Full-Size Drill/Driver
Both drills run brushless motors with all-metal gear construction, 14 clutch settings, an LED work light, and a two-speed transmission. Built for tight spaces, the compact drill measures 5.7 inches from front to back, and its variable-speed trigger turns up to 1,700 RPM.
The full-size drill/driver reaches 2,100 RPM and delivers 2.5 times the torque of a traditional brushed motor, with longer runtime to match. Auto-React Mode watches for bit binding and stops the motor before the tool can twist out of a grip.
An ergonomic grip shape carries both drills through long fastening runs. The pair reaches shelves in spring 2027, and the existing 20V Hercules drill/driver stays on sale in the meantime.
Daytona 3 Ton 120V Heavy Duty Portable Car Lift
Two lift frames work in tandem under the vehicle, powered from a 120V outlet. Together they raise a vehicle from a 7-inch minimum height to a maximum of 21.75 inches, and the rating covers vehicles up to 6,000 pounds.
Automatic safety locks hold the load, and nonmarring rollers let the frames roll into position without marking the floor. Hydraulic fittings arrive installed on the hoses, and flat-face quick connects keep fluid inside when the hoses come off for storage.
| Lift height range | 7 in. to 21.75 in. |
| Capacity | 6,000 lb |
| Maximum operating pressure | 2,100 PSI |
| Power | 120V |
Maximum operating pressure runs 2,100 PSI. Harbor Freight built the lift for the home garage, the shop, and the racetrack, and it has given the lift no release window and no price.
ICON 5 in. Wireless Automotive Borescope
That 5 in. in the name is the screen, a high-definition touchscreen fed by a dual-lens probe. One lens looks forward and the second looks to the side, so the view changes without pulling the probe out and starting over.
A 3X digital zoom closes in on damage, footage streams wirelessly to the included tablet, and images and video save to a MicroSD card on the device. An integrated kickstand holds the tablet for hands-free viewing.
The probe carries an IP67 waterproof rating, built for wet and oily engine bays where this kind of camera earns its keep. Harbor Freight has set no date and no price for the borescope.
ICON HD10 Heavy Duty Truck Scanner
Truck diagnostics run on the HD10: actuation tests, regenerations, relearns, and resets for Class 4 through 8 vehicles. It works on 12V and 24V systems, with a wireless communication module for the data link and a USB cable in the case for a wired run.
Regenerations and relearns are the daily bread of diesel shop work, and they are exactly the jobs a passenger-car scanner cannot touch. This tablet is built for the trucks those tools leave behind.
A 10-inch high-definition touchscreen takes multitouch input and a stylus, and a rubber overmold guards the housing against drops and slips. Early 2027 is the on-sale window, in stores and online, and the price is still unpublished.
It steps in above the ICON T10 tablet, which stays on sale at Harbor Freight for $1,699.99 and covers passenger vehicles. Heavy trucks are the gap the HD10 fills.
Which One Is Worth the Wait
Garages that lift cars every week get the most from the Daytona frames, and truck techs should watch the HD10. The drills are the safe bet for spring, the borescope reaches places no phone camera can, and the little pry bars ask the most patience of anything in the set.
