I am actually glad you are getting asked to do this type of review and introduction. I was interested to learn the Katz-Moses router plane was part of this family. No shame in opening unrequested tools and introducing them with honest commentary. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your work. Keep it up and appreciate the criticism as a signifier of your growing presence as a serious maker who also produces content
I have followed you over several years and felt that you had a wibe going making quality content. In recent time though, there seemt to have been a shift towards more "popular" content, a tendency to clickbaity thumbnails etc. As a fellow norwegian I feel this is a shame. There is so much great, local woodworking skill, culture, tradition and design to take from and build on. Torbjørn Afdal, Ingmar Relling, Sigurd Resell , Hans Brattrud, Fredrik A. Kayser, Peter Opsvik, Færing boats, stave churches, viking history, laftebyggeri, sløjd and 1000 more great sources of inspiration. What we need at this time is well thoght out desigs that makes the world a better place, not cheap copies of nedless stuff. And I bet that there is an audience for that type of content. Don´t try to be a second best run-of-the-mill-american woodworker - be the very best Norwegian one! 🇳🇴
I bought the Enjoywood XK4 Pocket Hole Jig and the drill bit depth bush and the guides did not fit the drill bit they sent with mine. (Also, my guides came out of the jig) I tried the Kreg bit I have, and it also didn't fit in the guides. I'm in the process of getting this corrected by Banggood but it seems to be a lengthy process where they asked me to provide pictures, a video, and then to circle the defective components on a picture they sent to me. I'm about to give up and ask for a refund. Too bad really. Apparently Enjoywood has some quality control issues. A bit of a lottery. I think I'll probably stick to Amazon.
I've tried several knock-off tools from Temu, similar to what you got here. They all worked just fine. That said...I'm commenting to ask why you don't have the riving knife installed in your table saw. That's a kickback just waiting to happen.
They are not the first company that has taken the research and money invested in making a popular tool and then making a lesser quality that LOOKS like the original in order to make sales. Not impressed with the theft from other companies.
Haha, unless you have made the “impossible” and dinged the Hultafors square.. Hultafors should be ashamed.. Are, I have seen this in Bacho as well, with their combination square.. awful some of them.. the regular, old “Sandvik” design is usually good. Regards, native Stig

Ye Gods, I bought that KM router plane when he released it and paid almost twice as much! Lesson learned!

That’s his problem not ours, he’s a big boy.
