A few products from this review were sent to me by Banggood for testing.
This does not mean that I do get all my products. I review also a lot of products I bought myself.
I started these reviews because from my experience not every tool from China was worth buying. So I wanted to make in-depth reviews to show you which products you should consider and which product you better leave alone. The fact that Banggood sent me products occasionally does not change the way I make my reviews. I still give in-depth reviews and give you my honest opinion!
On this, you can count on!
I have a good experience with Banggood.com and they have a lot of woodworking tools nicely organized on their site.
My name is Dennis and I am from Hooked on Wood.

I think your English is fine 👌 no subtitles required in my opinion.
I agree Jeremy. At 70 years of age and requiring two hearing aids I have little to no trouble understanding Dennis.
Im a deaf person, subtitles must be important, it makes it easier for me!
Please stop apologising for your English. It is absolutely fine. Your content is excellent.
English subtitles are for the ones whose listening english is not that good, like me.
Bough it based on this review and used it for the cabinets of my DIY speakers. It worked perfectly and was very easy and fast to use. Would definitely recommend this jig.
Your Dinglish is one of those rare cases, where it actually is totally not irritating.
Compared to the average American from the southern states, I prefer yours any day!
This jig has been upgraded - It now uses just 2 allen keys instead of 4. I just got it and it immediately noticed this improvement because i'd already watched your review. I'd say the jig is pretty much perfect now and it's an excellent high quality piece of kit for the price (got it for £60 with a case). I was using a cheap plastic Wolfcraft jig previously and this is a gigantic upgrade. Far FAR easier to work with, it actually makes using dowels enjoyable. Buy cheap buy twice.
I will add my thanks also Denis. As an Aussie, I have never had an issue understanding you. When you mentioned geni tals in this video all I could do was laugh and think who the hell thought you were saying that! Your reviews finally led me to purchase my first lot of China Tools recently, based off the strength of your recommendations. Thank you again for these videos, it helps all us wannabe woodworkers to source good quality tools at prices we can afford. Much as I would love a domino, here in Oz, the base model is $1700+. As a hobbyist, I could never justify spending that much on a hand tool regardless of quality and efficiency. For the $200 or so for this combination, I might be able to justify to SWMBO. Add in that I can buy dowels for one third the price of domino tenons and dowels can be integrated into the design of the furniture and used in contrast, it really is a no contest.
Thanks so much for showing this. This is exactly what I needed. I was frustrated of my Wolfcraft doweling jig and also need something to do 32mm rows. I was about to get the Mafell DDF40 but now I think I got the solution here. 👍
Excellent video Dennis! Love your tip about how to hold the router.. you are so right about how easy it is for the router to drift away from the straight edge if you hold it on the flat side!
I so appreciate you making these videos and testing the alternative tools that are actually affordable to the more expensive ones. Keep making these videos because I will keep watching them!!
Another fantastic tool review Dennis. Thank you for continuing to test tools that us mere mortals can actually afford.
I found this product while I was watching your Playlist of China tools. The review was incredible that convinced me to buy it. I tried several doweling jigs before (most of them are junks when its not on the edge), but this one was amazing. As you mentioned it's not a self-centered, but anyone works with biscuits or loose tenon joinery knows that you have to register from the same side.
One more thank you Dennis for a great review.
Hello Dennis. As usual a very detailed and professional review of the Dowelling Jig and Multi-Row Puncher. These are quality products that do complement each other. Thank you Dennis.
Once again a brilliant video! The explanation about the use of the round side vs. square side of the router was perfect. Thank you and I look forward to many more videos!
Dennis a brilliant video as ever, I have been wood working since I was 18 and I am now nearly 70, your videos have always been very informative so please keep it up, thank you
After watching this video I bought the dowel jig, it arrived today, way ahead of schedule but so far I haven't had a chance to use it. I can comment, however, on the absolute top-quality materials, workmanship and presentation of this jig - all outstanding. I am looking forward to using this dowel jig, it really does look and feel that good, thanks for the heads-up Denis.
A game-changer I think. You are providing a great service. Thank you.
As a newbie, I automatically used the round side on my router. I love your content, keep up the good work.
Based on this video i used your website link to buy this dowelling jig and multirow puncher today. The nearest equivalent I have come across is the Dowelmax which costs over £300 in the uk. I also bought 2 rulers you recommended. Your reviews are excellent, really honest and informative. Thank you!
I bought this dowel jig based on your review and you’re right, it is very good. At the same time i ordered a 5mm bushing so that i can screw cam dowels without using the plastic nut insert.
Thank you for another excellent video, as a regular subtitle user the fact that you have taken the time and effort to add subtitles is amazing. Another geni tool to add to my shopping list 🤣
Dennis thank you ,another great episode of Hooked On Wood. I really enjoyed the explanation for the way you use your router.
Hi Denis, first my thanks to add to the others, totally envious of your amazing workshop, but I wanted to say how much I appreciate your video's especially this one, I know it was done a while back but following your score card I purchased this jig, but what is even better watching you use it was so educational, the instructions on paper are a challenge to say the least, many thanks.
Hi Dennis, because of this Video I bought this Doweling Jig und built 2 custom Kitchen Cabinets with it. I have many years professionally installed kitchens and am therefore particularly critical. But I must say that the Doweling Jig has really convinced me. So thanky you for this Video. I wisch you and your Familiy a merry Christmas. Greetings from the german North Sea Coast.
very good explanation about the round router base.
that's exactly why I bought the full circle round base for my DeWalt trim router, because the half round half square base didn't make any sense to me, and also damaged some of my material.
I also changed the bolts holding the DeWalt round router base to stainless steel M4 x 10mm button head + stainless steel washers (they protect the acrylic base from damage by bolt head), because the original bolts are made from such a soft metal that the heads got damaged after only few times I unscrewed them.
I was looking for a doweling jig today and your video came in very timely. Thank you.
Great video. extremely well done. I have purchased several of your recommended tools and been very please. I hope you don't let knot heads bother you about your English. You do fantastic. They must have hearing issues. I have watch all your videos and I have never misunderstood you. I value your opinion on these tools.
Very nice review, I can see this being very useful in many instances. Great method for the router use. Have a wonderful week. Hope the new shop is coming along well.
"How Dennis Got His Groove On!" I just found your channel last week. Fantastic stuff. This video was excellent, and I will be getting that doweling jig. As much as I would love to own a Festool Domino, the price is way to high for me. Keep up the great work! You're helping a lot of us weekend warrior wood workers!
Greetings from Canada! Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your videos. Very detailed and precise testing that gives me confidence in your conclusions. I have since opened my mind to some of the Banggood products. As a new woodworker, I can use any savings I can get for tools that work well.
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
You pronouncing is fine. Thx for putting so much effort on your reviews and your video are so structured and does not have any fluff. Great stuff
I still love my Domino and wouldn't want to part with it, but a good doweling jig can't be beat. Thanks for sharing your review of this one!
Great find.
Awesome that they put your video in the description of the product.
keep up the good work.
thanks.
Good tip with router never knew that but makes sense and will be the way I do it from now on
Thanks Denis! Your videos are just perfect source of info! Great job man!
I have just stumbled upon your channel after looking for dowel jigs and I am glad I did. I really didnt want to spend nearly $500 (AUD) on the Jessem Jig so I watched a few of your reviews and have decided to try this one and have used your affiliate link to purchase. Thank you for the recommendation.
Denis, great video. Really informative. By the way. There is no problems understanding you. Thank you again!
Another helpful, well-thought-out, and much appreciated review!
I now have this system. Looking forward to trying it out.
Another great review
Thank you for the tip at the end of the video using the round end this will be priceless to me
Great, informative video.indepth, honest and brilliantly made, thank you Dennis
LOVED the round/flat router tip!! I messed up a juice groove on a cutting board using the flat site. I will be using the round on future cutting boards.
Ah heck, that's another purchase for me. Great video as usual Dennis
No need for sub titles Dennis, your English is just great! Another great review, many thanks.
Great video and Thank you, Denis for your insights into the alternative tools available! I did buy and use both the doweling jig and the multi-row puncher. They both work very well, and I agree with your review. As all of us, we learn by doing. There is a gotcha if you use them both on the same project. The plate of the multi row puncher is not the same thickness as the plate of the doweling jig. This means that if you use the same drilling setup for both, the hole drilled using the multi-row puncher is deeper, and punches through the wood... Don't ask me how I know.....🤯🤯🤯
Fantastic video again! Thank you so much!
Thank you Denis. Another great Vid. Your Upgrade to your Equipment at the wall is going further. Wohw!!!
Hi Dennis, as always, your videos are of the highest quality.
I give this Video a 5 Star Rating- 5 for presentation, 5 for knowledge of equipment utilized, 5 for entertainment value. I just screwed up a project by drilling one wrong hole- so the dowel went in crooked- I resolved it but this longer dowel device sure would've come in handy- I think I'll buy myself one for Christmas.
Awesome tip regarding using the round side of the router. Thanks bro.
You are making my wishlist get out of hand. Great video.
Good show. I enjoy the subtitles because I learn better if I read along with the video. I appreciate you and your show
Thank you Dennis. Another great review!
Great video and review! Thank you for sharing your experience and eye for detail on tools and other items you make. Thanks from California!
And your English is as good as anyone can be! (Yes I speak Dutch too but been in US for 20+ years and I still sound funny 😀
Just ordered this doweling jig, for my preference and as far as versatility goes, it's probably the best thing on the market today.
The one I ordered is black without the numbers marked, but I'll fill the numbers with white enamel paint as soon as possible. I don't have natural light in my shop, and my eyes aren't what they used to be.
Thanks for the in depth and thorough review, showing exactly how it works and the possibilities it offers.
Greetings from Portugal
Wow, a couple of really great jigs! And thank you for the router tip too, that tip will help a bunch.
Dennis thank you for these reviews. Im thankful that i stumbled onto your channel. Great content and not too long and drawn out. I have noticed your attention to detail and the china tool series is awesome. I am from the US and love to buy American made products and European as well, but sometimes for the amount of times i may use a tool, I cant justify the additional cost. Your reviews are fantastic. Plus cost and time saving as well. Thank you sir!
Was very excited to see this video. You did not disappoint. Very detailed as always Dennis. The straight long jig is the best I have seen for shelf pin holes next to a very expensive line boring machine. The doweling jig is awesome as well. With the way pricing of goods has gone up since pandemic, I am not surprised by its cost for the quality. Great video
What sort of shelf pins would you use? You can only use 8 mm dowels. Is there different size bushings available?
Another wonderful video, Dennis. You are becoming a rockstar.
Hello Dennis, your channel is now my favorite and I’m “hooked!” I feel lucky to come across all the content and the tools that are out there that I didn’t know existed. Thanks!
I’d love to see a video on your favorite marking tools from pens, pencils and any other marking device. Most of the China tools require a certain pt pencil or pen to use so I’d like to hear about your favorites. I trust if it’s good quality to you it will be the same for me.
Thanks
Wow! Nice episode. I really enjoyed it. I hope to see more of these great videos in the future! Keep up the good work!
First time I've watched one of your videos, must say i understood everything you said, and the video was really good at explaining everything, thumbs up
I am on Banggood almost every day, ( because of you , damn it!) I had not seen this jig. I agree a real game changer. Thanks again for another great video.
You sir are a great help!!! Very well done videos!!!
Great video the tool looks amazing will be looking to add this to my tools
I have watched every video on this series and am hoping to go to china when things clear up and I will buy some of these tools thank you and keep up the great work
Modified my jig. Fantastic build quality and thanks for the recommendation. I drilled a 8mm hole between the location pin centre and the first dowel centre on each side. 16mm from either centre. I can now start dowels closer to the edge of small boards and also get 5 in the place of 3 by moving the location pin 16mm
Hi Garry, Can you sent me a picture of the modified jig and some results? I would love to see them. hookedonwood@hotmail.com
Thanks Dennis
After seeing this video I bought the "Doweling jig" and "Multi-Row puncher" and it really works awesome.
Dennis bedankt man voor deze geweldige tips en product reviews.
Cool, fijn om te lezen😄
Thank you again Dennis! Great video
Another great video. Thanks Dennis
Great video, someone really put some thought into this tool.
Another superb episode Dennis. Very comprehensive coverage of the product. My bank balance suffers with each episode you upload!😂
No subtitles needed. You have an accent, but you are clear and easy to understand. (I wonder if non native English speakers would have more difficulty though. I once translated between a Hong Kong woman speaking good English and Morrocan guy that spoke french accented English. )
Love your work
Deep and honest review on the www. Thanks Dennis. Now i know what's my next purchase
Dennis,
Dank voor de duidelijke video.
Een fantastische meerwaarde met nederlandse ondertiteling.
deze juiste ondertiteling miste ik al bij de vorige videos.
groeten Joop Fiselier
Love this review and other tips. Thanks. Your English is indeed fine and easy to understand 👍
NOw that is cool and really good router point I have never thought of.
Another great video. Thanks!
I can understand you pervectly even English is my second language. Great videos! Enjoy all your reviews!
Fantastic review, Dennis! Thanks! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Very neat - thanks.
A solid 5 stars!
Thank you for another great video
SUPERIOR VID AS USUAL, LOVE IT.
Yo la compré y es realmente asombrosa, 100% recomendada
I joined two long boards with this today. It did work well, but using the black spacer bar left some room to introduce error i feel. If it's skewed just a bit it'll leave your dowel holes short. I feel an improvement would be an S shaped bar that reaches over at the end, lying on top of the end of the main jig and that you could then put one of the stainless pins into. This would ensure 100% accuracy every time. Or, just make the spacer bar T shaped for a greater reference surface.
Thx a Lot! Perfect video! Greetings from Poland!
Very impressed with dowel jig 👍
I went ahead and ordered a set even though it's metric. Took two weeks and two days for delivery, not to bad considering it was all the way from Korea. I'll post up when I test it.
Thank you for the routing tip👍👍
Great informative video....thanks 😁
An excellent review!
Another great product review from the "king" of reviews.Have to be the most trusted reviewer on the web Thanks
thanks John
Hi there, i am so glad you reviewed this product as I needed a better version of the one I have which I made an addition to which is similar to this one you have but yours is better for sure. :),
Thanks for sharing, Dennis! I've watched the video a couple of times and really enjoyed your in depth demo and review. The jigs look amazing - really enjoyed the comparison with the Festool Domino. As you rightly state; there really is no comparison as regards versatility, but for the price, if it is almost up there for making basic carcases or boxes, well, it is definitely worth a punt. Especially now that both are on at a discount, coming in at one tenth of the price of the Domino.
I don't own a Domino - and, yes, it is on the wish list - but in the meantime I'm looking forward to having a play with this excellent looking dowel jig combo.
I've tried the Wolfcraft dowel jig in the past, but it was so frustratingly slow and inaccurate - okay, maybe that's down to me - that it now just sits in a drawer in the garage. I happen to like using dowels and have had great success using through dowels up to 16mm in diameter. They create very stable joints, but are not particularly elegant.
Hi Dennis recently purchased the dowel jig from wnew and just as you said in your recommendation a very very precise jig, perfect for the cabinet doors I’m putting together, thank you.! And as mentioned by others your English is excellent, not so sure about your Dutch as I don’t understand a single word..!😂😂😂😁👍
Thank you Dennis. I'm a career mechanic/engineer about to retire to woodworking from my shed. You have saved me $000 on getting set up. Thank you.
He saved you zero dollars? Nice
Really happy about the subtitles.
Video popped up in my feed out of nowhere. Caught my interest. Watched it, and bought both jigs immediately. UA-cam knew what I wanted before I did. Uncanny. But looks like I wasn't the only one as I just got a Banggood notification that they are having trouble fulfilling as both items are out of stock! Well done Dennis, you're officially an influencer. Subscribed and checking out the full series of china tools as time allows!
haha, thanks for your comments.
As always: NONE Finer than Dennis and his "hooked on Wood". I especially loved this video and I might buy them because he showed "how"; like few could do. Thank you kind Sir.
Thanks Pat, nice to hear from you again. All the best for 2022!
Excellent review and enhanced video with subtitles.. now I don't need to re watch to catch the subtleties of your very good pronunciation. (My knowledge of Dutch consists of about 7 words (!) learnt back in the 1970's when I visited Den Haag, and Scheveningen.) Well done Denis :) Have a great day.
Hi from Australia fairly new to woodworking enjoying your Vids just just received my doweling jig and the extension bar jig, great quality. Can't afford the domino so this is great 👌. If you had some extra drill guides set up in your extension jig that would have been an even closer contest
I tested the jig today and I can't put into words how amazed I am. I was even faster than using my Domino. The only disadvantage is that you have no dust collection. But the precision is not a tiny bit short of the Domino.
haha, great isn't. Have fun with it.
Excellent video , I’m thinking of buying the triton doweling jointer but after seeing this i might now go for this instead
