Isn’t Temu under investigation for literally being malware lmao
Yea they steal ur information
instagram google and tiktok and many other apps do that temu just does it excessively @@UltraGraal
They steal your information like any other app but they are chinese so the US government goes "wait a minute I am supposed to spy my citizens, not you!" like they did with TikTok
@@UltraGraal so does FB, Twitter, TikTok, etc... find companies now that dont steal/sell your data nowadays
It's worse than TikTok, which is a high bar to beat.
That impact driver was surprising 😂 but I’d be more surprised if it lasted longer than a week
I mean, I doubt the Amazon one will either
well with amazon you wont even get the driver youll get a shower soap caddy or a pack of triple a batteries instead 🤣🤣🤣
@@aa-tx7thTru I bought a $700 graphics card and random bullshit came in 3 times, had to go to Best buy to not get scammed
both chinese
It’s just cheap Chinese vs expensive Chinese
Love the idea of them continuing this and just collecting a wall rack of swords 😂
Every man’s mancave dream: a sword rack
yes please haha
and a hat rack of fedoras
@@The_Ballo why fedoras when you can have helmets?
Jesus loves you & made a way for our sins to be forgiven, turn to Christ & repent for eternity in Heaven!!!
The best part about installing Temu is all the new friends that call you about your vehicles extended warranty after they sell your info
Some people call them ‘scammers’ -
I call them potential friends
@@lolnou4219 You mean the people that call you whenever they want to take your money? I always thought they were known as “wives.”
@@H8nji where's the joke? I just see misogyny
The longer you keep them on the phone, the further they fall behind on their daily call quotas. After a while, they memorize your number and will skip you or just call and hang up to make it look like they called you.
That’s every company kiddo
It's silly to call Amazon items "brand name"; they're the same Chinesium, just without the loss-leader discounts Temu is offering to get their malware on everyone's phones lol
yeah I feel like they did that because if they actually did a head-to-head with a real brand the temu stuff would just lose and it would kinda be a boring video
@@christiansesler3395yes but the difference in price would be much bigger.
So yeah we can't really say temu tools are good, we can only say amazon tools are craps, oh what a surprise
Not all of them. A lot of Amazon branded products are actually better than their namebrand competitors.
@@NinjAsylumsuch as?
Yea it would’ve made more sense to use a budget brand name like ryobi to compare against instead of the “amazon brand”
Seeing James and Justin in full ass “m’lady” mall ninja gear was something I didn’t know I needed
Please leave racist remarks out of the comment section. There’s no place for that here.
Back in my day, I could understand it. But nowadays, there is no place for it.
@@GardenGuy1943he actually meant ninja gear because of the sword it wasn’t a racist comment
Ok Redditor.
yeah no thats not racist. its a jab at a certain type of person usually male that are way into another culture and try to emulate parts of said culture.@@GardenGuy1943
Good stuff but a couple notes of constructive criticism for you.
1. If you notice the coils on the snake, they only go in the tightening direction, you can’t reverse it like you did trying to take off a bolt. Also with that one you didn’t compare a more expensive model which would have done the same thing. If you could maybe loosen something with it, a wood screw would be the extent.
2. When testing the strength of the 1/4 adapters, you used a stubby socket, which only applied torque to the area before the necked down portion of the bit which is there to lock it into a bit driver. When installed into a bit driver this area doesn’t see torque as the load is spread across the upper and lower 1/4 area. Next time use a deep socket 1/4 and see what the difference is. Should be upwards of around 120 ft/lbs
Love the show though. You guys are entertaining. Thanks for what you do
the torque wrench test also seemed a bit wack, looked like he had his hand far above the handle
@@kwinngeer9070 Also torque wrenches need to be calibrated. Things like improper use, storage and for example shipping can mess up the calibration.
After being calibrated both should torque to spec, so the second question is for how long they will stay close to the specs.
Thank you guys for all the entertaining videos. I have a issue with my neck and have been bedridden for days. Watching these makes me happy and keeps me from going crazy while waiting to recover. You guys are life savers.
It would be cool to keep the tools around the shop and see how long they hold up
Yeah I bet that they would not last long
As well as the katana
Yea I’d like to see a video like that
@@BenskiBoiYou'd be surprised. My tool box is filled with cheap chinese shit I bought a decade ago. My $8 large screwdriver lasted a hell of a lot longer than my $30 Klein screwdriver. It's mainly used as a chisel or pry bar.
@@shawn576 LOL that's hilarious
Definitely a clever idea, Temu is known for its horrific quality.
And malware lol
Not really. I've bought a few things from there that were decent. Ofc some things arent gonna be as good tho 😂
@@Modragalica1 people have to stop using TEMU. There is also an invetsigation against them. So i wouldnt use it. The company had another app which contained malware code.
well it is china..
@@MrRandomCanthe Chinese Nintendo Switch is literally the only one to be region locked
Fingers crossed we get Tool Party back. Definitely a great show or more How Tos would be great
I love Tool Party. I throw the old ones on a lot
Science Garage? Hmm, it's been a while since I checked out Project Farm, too...
Highly doubt we'll get anything decent from donut ever again, seems like they're a dying channel. Maybe it's just that they aren't posting their decent content on UA-cam?
@@demoths Bro what are you talking about? They have 8 million subscribers and they put good shit out all the time. They've been working on growing the Real Mechanic Stuff channel but I guarantee you the main channel isn't dead. Have you seen the sponsors they've been getting? They should be doin just fine. Unless you're just saying you don't like their new material but that doesn't mean the channel is dying.
@@THEUrinalCake compared to the quality and consistency that they used to put out, it has been lacking. I'm hoping they've been busy making some quality stuff, but it's been a while since we've seen it.
I love how Nolan’s project car is sitting in the background… it’s almost like an art piece now
Is it a black 3rd gen 4Runner?
@@travisfootball21That is indeed a 3rd Gen. I loved mine. Still wish I hadn't sold it, even if I did replace it with a WRX. Less powerful, clunkier ride than the WRX for sure, but my '99 Limited had everything I could possibly want in a 4wd.
@@FrigidMountainI really don't want to let mine go, I've got some big rust repairs to do around windscreen and have had it for 8 years but never had it legally on the road, I've been trying to save some money up and I'm not doing too bad ATM so fingers crossed.
I love her to death, shes a pov spec 92 sr5 with the 3L engine and wind up windows, I love the simplicity and reliability of it, the 3l is known as one of the most reliable engines there is when looked after. I plan to eventually rebuild her but until then I'm just gonna send her on no less then 18psi. I would love to run 30psi at least when funds allow all I need to do is get the pump rebuilt to a 12mm and larger turbo and I'm sweet.
The manifold I've got on her at the moment will suit t25, tdo4 and ct20 flange, never mind the ct20 flange it will never get used lol.
It's got a Subaru WRX tdo4 (Mitsubishi casting) turbo on it at the moment I would like to try the tdo5 but they seem to like to run out of puff at around 20psi so it will probably end up being a holset he221 5.5cm for some dose
Kinda came here to see if anyone noticed it when they were working on it, if not was gonna make the comment "nice runner" 😅
Mine basically is a yard ornament, had her for 7 years but I just can't let her go.
@@travisfootball21pretty sure it's forest green actually which is one of the best third gen colors. Kinda wish mine was that but I do like that it is a matte black respray so I don't have to worry about pinstripes.
You need to do more of these, need to see Temu VS snap on for socket wrenches, screwdrivers, and more!
absolutely love this channel! so funny, the coats worn the end got me
They are such a good pair. They're perfectly goofy and interesting together. Perfect for this video. Another absolute BANGER out of Donut Media
Reminds me of the time my father told me about the time he "tested" a cheap impact driver when after his good one finally broke after years of use. It apparently immediatly caught fire.
Skill-issue, lineage of L takers.
Fun vid, boys! Really happy to see how comfortable Justin is getting on camera.
He really had me giggling at some of the faces and reactions he was giving on this one. Great work as always!
For reference, you should "warm up" your torque wrenches before using them. Set it to 95-100% of its rated torque value and then pop it 6-12 times in the direction youll be torquing. This just gets the spring moving and happy before torquing stuff down.
I think the amazon one was not set correctly because it was pretty precise but low accuracy.
Well hell you just taught this mechanic something
yeah then buy a calibrator
Be careful with the sword… I wouldn’t be surprised if the blade flew off mid swing. 😂
I just watched the movie Walk Hard and was getting PTSD watching them swing that around.
I have a strong suspicion it’s not full tang.
Also, it’s a Katana, the most cringe of swords.
I'll bet the sword is made from cheap stainless steel, which is too brittle to be practical.
Uh yes I'm willing to be the Temu sword is a wallhanger, what a shock
@@HALLish-jl5mo well hold on…. Legit old school tamahagane Katana’s are dope.
Y'all could do a Hi-low engine rebuild kinda thing, one team gets cheap tools and the other gets expensive ones.
Dude yes! Like a harbor freight torque wrench vs snap on for doing head bolts and such, see if one engine blows up like some internet warriors say it will because you cheated out on the tools. I bet not. Having built engines, how even the torque is vs the exact number is more important I think. A headgasket might not care if it’s a few pounds off but if all the bolts are an even torque, she will seal just fine
Only one engine gets pulled apart 😂
@@79huddy toyota actually sold a whole bunch of their machinery to chinese firms... so really the parts would be comparable
Preferably with a running score of how many times the tools have broken, or broken something else.
They should get two school buses and try to make them cool with temu parts and temu items😂. Put airbags on those things from temu and it'll last a day after putting it on😂😂. Funny video idea just to put out there
I just love Justin! So innocent, and so honest 😂
I've been watching you guys since Up To Speed was either weekly or biweekly(i don't remember😂) and it's crazy seeing how big you guys have gotten! I see your merch at my local Zumez and got myself a few things, I love your guy's videos keep it up!
Top tier content and editing at the end! Love it, good work!
Okay they clearly wanted an excuse to buy a sword they found on temu. They aren't even trying to hide it 😂
Who wouldn’t want to buy a sword? Seems like a great excuse to write it off as a business expense 😂
Still waiting for the next season of tool party. Definitely my favorite series.
Love these two guys, great vid!
Nice work, love this comparison
You'll definitely need the "Night Vision" while "Endoscoping" .
Are you telling us you are sticking it where the sun don't shine?
Jesus loves you & made a way for our sins to be forgiven, turn to Christ & repent for eternity in Heaven!!!
James, the Endoscope can go in the intake *or* the exhaust. You don't always have to go straight for the ass.
Used to work in an RV dealership,and those flexible bits really come in handy
When it comes to wrenches, bits, drivers, etc., nothing beats Harbor Freight. @11:18 I’ve purchased cheaper ratcheting wrenches and torque wrenches than that, and they come with a lifetime warranty. They’re also built in the USA if that matters to you.
Hey, just a PSA, don't swing low quality swords. There's a very real risk of them snapping off at the hilt and sending a vaguely sharp bit of metal flying in unpredictable directions. Great way to get a really embarrassing scar or lose your eyesight,
You forgot that it could kill you
@@purdysanchez Very unlikely, but technically possible. Usually you'd expect arm lacerations.
'vaguely sharp'
We literally saw that thing slicing bottles in half. It's more than 'vaguely' sharp. If it can cut open a bottle it can even more easily slice through flesh.
Flashbacks to the machete scene from Walk Hard lol.
@@cenciende9401 Not really. Those were real messy cuts. See how the plastic kinda awkwardly tears instead of slices? Yeah, that's no good. A sword doesn't need to be particularly sharp to cut plastic or skin, it just needs to be swung with enough force, or dragged across it.
the last 30 secs of this was so genuine i loved it haha
That flex adaptor is designed for screws on an impact. I have a dewalt equivilent 90° flex adaptor. The casing isnt as stong as the actual drive parts and will do this with a drill not set to slip after the first thing to resist removal. An impact(or drill using the clutch) wont twist it, but in full drill mode it kills itself.
Perfect for what i do in HVAC, mainly re&re's that require removing sheet metal screws. I would never even thing of anything automotive bigger than a 10mm bolt. Realisticly think "could ibremove it with a philips head" if not dont even try
6:16 😂😂 Love the humor boys👌🏿👌🏿 Awesome content as always
I previously owned that exact boroscope camera, and it was working for about a month.
torque wrench:
you have to pull them by the grip, for them to be reasonably accurate.
(sounds weird but because of geometry and the mechanism being in the handle, it makes a difference where you hold it)
Also the larger the torque wrench the less accurate they are at less then 75% load. You should always use a torque wrench with a max within 30 ftlbs of what your torque specifications are when using a spring(cheap) torque wrenchs.
*AND the did not use the snake drill extender correctly, either.*
The issue is that this is a show made mostly for entertainment, not for actually testing things, so it is done sloppily.
Depends how the torque wrench is engineered. Old ones sure, but not all newer ones, especially the nicer ones.
Great production like always. By the way, did you get the hat and the shirt at the end from Temu too? 😂😂😂😂
I’m a Temu fanatic and I haven’t had any problems with the exception of a projector that it was garbage, everything else it’s been great
Yeah I wouldnt trust tech or any food/beauty products that would put chemicals on your skin/body. Otherwise stationary, kitchen/bathroom, clothes, toys, etc, seem safe.
For the impact adapters you should have used a longer socket, the shorter socket will cause failure at the notched area
I just gotta say James your intro intensity is always so amazing.
Justin is too much awesome! I want him in every video. Him and Jeremiah are my favs.
I Love these videos so much need more!!!
Watching Justin and James play around with a katana wearing fedoras is something i didn't know i needed in my life
Trilby not fedora
And wearing the black trench coat. They went full "I studied the blade" and I am HERE for it. 😂
It’s always a great day when Donut uploads! ❤
I straight up used a flexible drill shaft with a hole saw to cut 1" holes through cramped 2x4 framing. It didn't survive, but it worked.
The socket adapters from Harbor Freights "Warrior" brand remove the lug nuts off my truck that are torqued to 140 Lb/ft using a Dewalt impact driver. I've used them for a few years now and haven't broken one yet.
Love the 4runner in the background, they look so good in that dark forest green
3rd Gen 4runner look best in that Forest Green.
3rd Gen is best Gen! Love my 98.
I had one as my first car in a 5 speed manual for 6 years and I just recently sold mine, already feel such regret since I put so much time and effort in it
@@FirstnameLastname-ni9uh lol I don't think anyone didn't regret selling them, especially manuals. Love my 98 5 speed.
Glad to see that Nolan is really humming right along on the Ol' Buick.

@@liamflynn6929 Either way, a furnace of ambition.
That smile during the intro of the drill bit shaft extension….😀, killed m……-----

You likely snapped the adapters at the thinned down section. when they are used as intended, they are clamped in a drill chuck, which holds these things on both sides of the neckdown, getting around that weak point.
Sure, stuffing those into the hex collet of an impact driver is tempting, but they are not designed for that.
The thinned neck that you find on many Bit holders, adapters, hex shank drills and whatnot is designed to be compatible with a few very weird drill chucks, which are somewhat quick to release, but not universal at all. Those lock into that necked down section and drive the implement from both sides of the thinned section.
I love how they said it was better than a local price, but Harbor Freight is everywhere with a better torque wrench
this lmao
Yes the temu torque wrench was more accurate, but one thing I’ve found is the cheaper ones tend to lose calibration quicker
...also he held the amazon one wrong
The whole test went by so quickly I couldn't be sure of the technique, but it really seemed like he slammed the Tekton wrench versus easing up to the click as you should. There were several reasons I felt that the test was done more to crank up the amount they could spend on a sword versus making the test valid.
1. He jerked the wrench versus easing up to the click, especially with the Tekton. If you do that with any wrench you'll ALWAYS over-torque it.
2. He pushed the wrench instead of pulling, which gives you much less control
3. Most importantly the arm on the Tekton was almost twice as long as the Temu wrench, imparting much much more torque and greatly magnifying the mistakes made in #1 & 2
Fun for entertainment, but if you want a valid test you watch Protect Farm.
I've a had Snake bit, and they only light duty tool but, can still be handy.
This video is the Temu version of Project Farm. 😂
I have bought a lot of tools and find, almost without exception, that the least expensive tool may work OK, but only for a little while before it fails... Of course the most expensive tools are not always the best, but in my experience, the cheapest tool is never the best bang-for-the-buck.
I love how well Justin has grown to fit into the channel!
He's a great addition to the crew for sure
I have a similar seesil impact. Its impressed me of how well it works. I recently installed coilovers on my car with my impact. Its not the exact one shown in this video but its similar by the same chinese brand.
4:30 You could plug that camera into your Mac and just use the standard camera app on the Mac. Pretty simply and no sketchy app needed.
The flex shaft was hilarious!
Quick note, anytime with a click type torque wrench it's good practice to give it a few clicks before doing a to-spec torque. The spring steel inside needs to stretch out a bit before it's closer to where it should be.
This is not just the standards org being tricky, but something you guys found on the tool party vid with torque wrenches. Next time before doing a review to see how close a torque wrench is, give it a few clicks on a welded bolt.
Yep. The US Air Force actually has a procedure for this. 6 clicks at max torque or at least the highest torque the wrench will be used at before each shift.
Yep, all torque wrenches need to be broken in with 6 to 10 clicks at high torque before use. I made the mistake of not doing this on my first wrench years ago, thought it was faulty, then I read the manual which shows the break in process and it is still going strong.
Sup fellas, thank God that you did this video! I've been thinking of ordering a few things on Temu and wasn't sure if I'd just be wasting wasting my money
the way I got HYPE when the temu drill beat the Amazon drill
This is so dope. The sword ending is by far one of my favorite thing ever 😂
So happy to see you guys have a 3rd gen 4Runner added to the fleet. As a 3rd gen owner, I can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Great video, very entertaining
Just one suggestion: could you please also display the metric units. You have many viewers from outside the USA, and I often have no idea if something is a lot or a little 🙂
The waving in the reflection at 11:13 was great! 😂
Justin brings so much joy
My respect for Justin went up after hearing he has a Pixel.
Why, though? It is an unusual choice.
Pixel gang rise up!
Eyy Eyy

What a dumb comment.
This needs to be like a 25 minute run time
I use the socket adapters and ph2 bits from Temu and they work great
I have that dr micrometer torque wrench. Goes pretty well! Yet to have it calibrated though for the price cheaper to buy a new one 😂
The edit track was insane! I've gotten close to that, but not very often. Your editor is a damn champ!!
What's an edit track? 😂
@samuelgarrod8327 When you're editing a video, there are tracks containing audio and video files that you cut and place. They showed a half second clip of what appeared to be this videos almost finished edit track.
Justin is just so much faster w the bolts then James 😂
great that you tested and they did ok then the discrlaer at the end XD
bought a few items from temu. A gear knob for my sim shifter and a carb and some fuel line for my cheap string trimmer. Wouldn't buy anything more expensive though.

0:27 total missed opportunity with adding 2 gun shot noises lol.
Idk if you guys are using a new camera or something but this video looks super extra good
Genuinely just got notification from Temu while watching ur vid😂😂
All that just for the price of privacy
Donut finally jumping on the Temu bandwagon. Those fedoras at the end though 😂😂😂
Because it’s cheap reaction content….which is almost all of their videos now sadly.
@@SteveLordthey’ve definitely put out some pretty special vids in the past few months, i’d say it’s fair

Love how the 'reserved for talent' spaces were empty:). was hilarious all the way thru
Gotta give up the love for Justin and James on testing the "powa" threshold
James doing Yoshimitsu spin move is gem 😂
The snake they demolished is not for anything heady. It is meant for interior screws and such. I threw all of them away as I got them in sets except one. I used it and found out how to use it and now I consider it a very special tool in my box.
Yeah I see those more often being marketed to and treasured by people who work with electronics. One of those made building my PC a breeze.
I love the ending, I dont' know that I would suggest buying anything off temu lol. You should have lead with that though lol. Fun video, first time i've seen you guys
Hella funny guys, I loved the jokes and the editing on this vid, just keep getting better, still miss up to speed..
Temu always seems to amaze me with the large catalog of random items you wouldn't think exist
The also amaze by the amount of information they’ve stolen from their customers!
What amazes me is how this company could make a shopping app that was confirmed to be malware (Pinduoduo), get busted, get their app removed from app stores, then make another shopping app, and Apple & Google are just like “yeah seems legit”.

Surprised the producers let this video happen lol
Isn't James a/the Producer?
4:36 Funny. It seems that the meaning of the word "endoscope" tends to vary in different languages. In German, endoscope is naming the group of visual devices (cameras) with a shaft that are used to get to hard to reach places regardless of the use case. A rigid endoscope is a borescope while a flexible endoscope is a flexoscope :D
Gotta love the Temu ad right after the warning about them lol
Right when i thought scams over at wish was over. Temu comes out of nowhere to continue the scamming...
I haven't had an issue yet. Are people expecting top quality stuff or something?
Wait what happend to wish then?
@@llama2022the scam isn’t the low quality, the scam is the app is almost certainly malware and the cheap products are just a ruse to get you to install the app. Before Temu they had another shopping app called Pinduoduo that was removed from the Google Play store for being malware; the app could read all your messages, see all your notifications, change your settings, once it was installed they could see anything and everything on your device and they were sending all that data back to China. What do you think the chances are that they made one shopping app that was really a spying / hacking app, got busted, and then made a legit shopping app that isn’t malware?
It's not a scam if you go into it knowing you're getting cheaply made goods
@@RingoYoteidk some of that stuff that is miniature versions of what they bought is 100% a scam, not "cheaply made products" they def do some scamming
