      depends on the user. If you really only use it 3 times a year, the endurance doesn't matter a lot and the more expensive tools are clearly wasted money.
      It may be dubious to buy at Temu, but no name brands from the box stores or whatever will be pretty good enough for the low usage cases.
      If you want to use such tools professionally you should invest into professional grade tools. That's a no brainer. But on the Homer Simpson level? Why?

    As a professional carpenter, for individuals who are just starting out or seeking budget-friendly tools, I recommend the following:
    Buy used Milwaukee M12 Brushless tools along with new M12 Batteries. M12 batteries typically cost about half as much as the M18 ones, while offering the same capacity. I always recommend buying new batteries though. Buying those used is not worth the risk. I bought an almost new but used Fuel 1/4 impact driver for $70 and a 2 pack Red Lithium 2.0 battery set for $50.The impact can switch between drill mode and impact eliminating the need to purchase two tools. Once you are looking to level up, move on to the M18 series. For anything that requires lots of drilling power buy either a Makita or a Milwaukee corded drill for $115 and $90 respectively. They have plenty of power and should last you a long time. My Makita corded drill served me about 15 years.

    There was a different woodworker who did a review on Temu tools, and he pointed out that they had direct copies of many of his other big American name tools. He pointed out how much damage that does to domestic brands when foreign (China) brands rip them off. Temu isn’t spending any money on research and development. The only R&D they do is using old big name tooling in their brand's factories.

    • @JohnClark-tt2bl
      @JohnClark-tt2bl 3 місяці тому +12

      I kind of blame it on these domestic brands to some extent. It's no secret that Chinese factories will copy your product if you have it manufactured there. Once the tooling and everything is created and they start production, they've got what they need to rip you off.
      Yet these companies continue using them, because Chinese manufacturing is cheap and they want that big profit margin. So I have a hard time feeling too sorry for them, because they basically made a deal with the devil.

    I got the router table plate well not that exact one but close enough and its actually pretty good. I used it in building a small router table and it was more solid that I thought it would be. The only complaint would be that it came with some plastic circles to be used with smaller bits, but they are so lightweight that the air from the router literally blows it away. I did also get a router lift to go along with it, it seemed to work at first but the screw that rises and lowers is just too loose and under load the vibrations cause it to lower on you. I'm going to try and see if I can find a way to correct that.
    When ordering from TEMU just be careful and try to get as much info as possible, reading reviews help. I've mostly had good luck with things I got through them, there have been a few misses.

    This video makes me queasy. Was hoping it would be an unbiased review like the other pallet grabs but I had to stop half way through when it became clear it would just be an ad for Temu. All this hype for cheap tools that are clearly ripping off designs from woodworking tools makers isn't cool, same with repeatedly taking digs at Rockler prices as if they were selling comparable quality tools. Rockler, and the other companies being put down in this advertisement, have been part of the woodworking community for decades and offer so much more than just cheap tools.
    As an experienced woodworker I'd argue that it's terrible for beginners to stock their shop with dodgey knock-off tools from an importer like Temu. It will make the craft frustrating and confusing to learn when the tools they rely on don't work properly and fall apart on them. Not to mention safety issues with this junk that new woodworkers might won't have the experience to recognize before an accident.

      One can use a twig to measure. In that case your cabinet will be 2twigs wide and 3 twigs high for example.

    My beginners tip is to find your self excellent cordless drill. Then based on that get your self tools you need most from that brand and clone tools that use same battery system for those that you least use and corded version on the tools you least use or dont need to move. You can also 3d print or buy adapters to mod your cheap tools (those with in same voltage) to your better batteries you chose. That way you get into tooling with best price to quality ratio. Still while corded is supposedly obsolete, you dont have batteries dying and in general those are kinda cheaper in most cases, so i would highly suggest getting those, specially on some yard sales etc cheaply. Only thing you really need that is good is the cordless drill, since you can screw screws, drill and even poverty lathe with with it.

      @@californiacritic9779 I said “At least” meaning it’s not the best option (a shitty one actually) but if you can’t afford a lot then it’s a better option. So you’re saying because Amazon doesn’t pay enough taxes like they should well then fuck it just order from a geopolitical enemy…

    Billion dollar parent company taking huge loses to undercut our market. They also pay no import taxes on each shipment when shipment is kept 800$ per package. Our nation has lost billions on import duties thanks to this loop hol. Hate this company but we know what they are doing.

    Initial thoughts are fine, but what about quality? … I’ve untwisted cheap drill bits before and had cheap power tools last only a few uses……how sharp are those cheap router bits?

    Thanks for the video John! As a handmaking beginner, I would rather spend less money to buy cheaper tools cause I'm not sure if my passion would last and don't wanna waste my money on fancy tools that'd be left in my cabin🤣

    Unless they changed how they ship things from 3 months ago to 2 months ago when I started ordering ???
    Nothing I have ordered from TEMU came by boat nor did it take months to get here.......
    Everything was by plane and only took at the longest a week and a half to get here.......
    And I order from TEMU every other week. Which my previous order always arrives before the next one........
    As a matter of fact I just made an order yesterday and today it's already at the airport to fly over to America.......
    The longest part of the order is it usually takes 2 to 4 days to clear customs and be picked up by FedEx or UPS.........
