So full disclaimer, what you see in this video was provided to me at no cost by Banggood. However, they have not had any editorial control over the content of this video. Also bear in mind this is a first impressions video, not a detailed review after months of use.
@@Wordsnwood drafting triangles are a good option. I checked a cheap one from Michael's craft store, it was smack on. I work at a machine shop and checked it on micro-view.
I bought a track saw parallel guide and it was very nicely packaged. Great value and it's more like a precision lab equipment quality then my almost workshop
I have bought several things from this company and all worked fine. I got their doweling jig and while a bit stiff at first it worked fine as I got used to it. I also got their kerf jig which works great on a table saw or router. It was a lot cheaper and it did take about 3 weeks to come in. I use that thing all the time.
The only things I've bought from Banggood are laser engravers and 3d printers. The delivery time to the US was 4 to 8 weeks. Things sometimes get hung up in customs. After sale customer service seems to be pretty good. I've noticed recently that depending on what you buy, it might come from a warehouse in the US. If you buy from them, be prepared for promotional emails about every other day.
I honestly think we're behind the times with the whole imperial thing. Think about it. A foot was measured to determine the length of a foot. A yard was determined by the distance between the top of your shoulder to the tip of your middle finger. I'm as imperialistic as the come but, as a world we could at least get behind one system of measurement. We all use the same degree measurement.
From Toronto: Bought some items (drone / fpv/ bags and few other small electronics ) from banggood. As you mentioned, they were shipped from different locations in China 🇨🇳 and took approximately 3 weeks to 1 month to arrive. Some other friends had similar experiences. Not bad and would not hesitate to buy from them but be careful and read the description 3 times or more and zoom on the picture of the item until your are satisfied and making sure what you are look at. Thank you for all your videos. 🙏 Avinash.
@@Wordsnwood it is one of those racing drone. They are light enough to fall in those categories that you do not need a permit and an airbus/Boeing pilot license. 😂 I bought the transmitter / receiver there as well and connected the camera to a google and convert it to fpv ( first person view). These drones can go up to 70 km/hr. But the battery last only few minutes. I’ve lost interest now and am more into woodworking. 😁
@@Wordsnwood Time to insist the much has been moved back to our Countries...for our own good. I have to tell you when i go to make a purchase these days I check where it is made and that is part of my decision.
@@Wordsnwood If Donald Trump was still President he would have made sure the manufacturing comes back to America. Brands like NIKE and the like are manufactured in China under license and China steals the styles to produce fakes to sell all over the world and no action is taken against them.
@@tjacksonwoodworker3726 I absolutely agree with you. But sometimes, and not always, I need a tool for the job. If I can't afford it or justify its cost in my work, I am left with seeking the less expensive. But you are correct. With every dollar spent, we cast a vote for the growth of one country over another.
The Woodpeckers tools these are cloned from are made in the US. Cost is around 2x the price of these, but you're also paying for them to come up with these designs and products, rather than just copy.
I bought some consumer electronic products from Banggood and the prices were good and the products were also good. The only issue was shipping. It was extremely slow. I think one item that was in stock took more than 3 weeks to arrive. You can imagine how long it would take if you did a return/replace on a product.
Hi Art, I know you didn't particularly want European comments on Bangood products but I have bought a few here in the UK and it's similar to your own experience. Goods seem to arrive when they want, often in paper bags and strangely in Dutch, go figure, but having said that we can't get Woodpecker products here in the UK and the price and quality is good . Regards Jim UK.
Art I ordered from Alibaba some measuring devices. I suppose clamps would be fine. But the router bit I ordered blew apart, so I would not order that again.
I buy hobby electronics components from Banggood (among other offshore websites) and haven't had any real issues. It's cheap and it takes a month or 2 to get to Winnipeg. You do have to watch the shipping fees -some sellers charge a lot more than others for shipping.
that little 6" ruler is what i've used for years to apply puddy to pin holes on the back of cabinet doors, never actually used it to measure though lol
I often make small boxes & do small case work so I bought a set of those clamping squares after I saw a review on the Hooked on Wood channel. Shipping took about 4.5 weeks to get to me in Texas but I have been very happy with them. They have done exactly what I hoped they wood. They are as close to 90 degrees as I can measure in my shop and small enough to to get in tight spots to assist with glue-ups. Hard to go wrong for the price. Only word of warning is that the credit card I used to buy them was compromised a few days after I ordered stuff. I have no proof that bangood was where my card info got stolen but Amazon is the only other place I had used that card. I will absolutely order tools from bangood again but will keep a sharp eye on the account of the card that I use in case it happens again.
Thanks for the note... I knew one guy years ago who specifically kept one one extra CC account, with a purposely low limit, and used that whenever he was unsure of the place that he was buying from online.
@@Wordsnwood Thanks for the idea of a dedicated card. I was thinking about which card I wanted to put at risk but getting a new one just for that purpose seems like a better idea than picking one of the current cards.
I've done a fair bit of ordering from Banggood, From 1mm drill bits to linear rails to digital angle measuring device. To date I've only had one "BAD" experience. I had ordered 4 pillow blocks and received 4 cell phone mounts for a bike. I engaged customer service and they tried very hard to give me a partial refund and let me keep the cell phone holders. I had to insist I didn't need the cell phone holders. In the end I got my refund and they never requested the cell phone holders back. On the flip side when I received my 1mm drill bits a few were broken. They gave me a partial refund (or maybe is was credit to my next purchase I don't recall exactly) and I went on my merry way. When ordering I tend to favor items that have North American warehouses and make sure I pay close attention to how they are planning to ship it. There is a option that equates to being shipped as "Freight" which means you basically have to wait for a shipping container to be filled and sent by boat (At least that is how I understand it).
Just found your channel and subscribed. I’m on Vancouver Island and like to see tools priced Canadian. Plus we speak the same language. I once wanted to order a 1/2 in collet for a Jet shaper. $40 American (already high right) by the time I got to checkout it was$150 or more,don’t remember. Also I don’t think we have a Rockler in Canada. Wish we did. Cheers.
I'm not a machining/milling/anodizing expert but I run my fingernail over it and I feel little grooves... but is that just the paint I'm feeling? I took a razor blade and scratched for 20-30 seconds over some of the metric markings (don't care so much about them) and they did not scratch off. They feel similar to me as the markings on my many-years-old-and-still-easily-readable combination square. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hope it's good.
I've had more or less OK experience with Banggood, some shipping times are really long and my average seems to be 4-6 weeks. I've also had one no show that I did get a refund for but had to wait a long time to be able to request a refund. Product quality is generally OK occasionally quite good and occasionally pretty bad... Basic stuff like you ordered is usually fine as far as quality goes... One thing to note you can often find the same or very similar products on Amazon for same or bit more $, with a quicker shipping and easier return policy..
Hi from Saskatchewan. I have been ordering a lot of small tools that I DID NOT expect that the quality would be so good, especially DRILLPRO products. They are very well built. The shipping times have been all within 3-5 week wait. Just a little side note , today I am looking at the TS-8 T ruler and found a better price on Amazon . Yes was shocked. So I would suggest checking both sites out for price points. Advantage with Amazon is that shipping is much faster ( providing customs doesn’t get involved)
Even shipping within the US is taking a month+. I just got a Christmas card shipped at the beginning of December. So the shipping delays may not be on the seller side. This stuff is a bunch of Woodpeckers and Bessey clones. Bummer, as at least with Woodpeckers, I want them to continue innovating and making new things without being undercut by someone who doesn't have to invest any time in design. The corner clamps are an exact clone of the current Woodpeckers clamping squares, even to the point of copying the interestingly-shaped clamp design. The lone L-shaped square also has holes designed for clamping parts at right angles -- it's the old Woodpeckers design. I have a set of Woodpeckers ones, but I find I don't really use them very much because I square up using a different approach. It's interesting that they cloned and sell the square with the slot and holes, but don't pair the clamps with that one. That TS-6 is an exact clone of the Woodpeckers pocket t-square TS-6. It even has the same model name/number. I've found I prefer the stainless steel ones instead of the chunky aluminum ones for the reasons you showed when using it.
I have all those tools but not one from that company..all of them say from china. I got mine on Amazon or Wish. They work as advertised and I got a special pen for the marking ruler as it was recommended. A nose pen. They are all sqaure...I have been using them for about 3 years. One of them fell on the ground and chiped a bit making it no longer flash...I still use the inside to hold drawers together. And to be clear they are alllll knock offs of woodpecker tools. But they are the best knock off ever....even better because they have both metric and imperial.
for the price is not bad and I have the same tools the good no problem what so ever some company with similar tool are to expensive., wen you by this product you can choose the shipping form USA warehouse I'm sorry but this is what I can afford.
Appreciate the shipping comments but keep in mind these are coming from China and have to go through US customs so shipping times are really at the mercy of customs.
I had thought so, but Matthias says not... I don't think I've ever come across a test of their accuracy. Mine is an early Wixey model, which was one of the originals, so I would hope it is reasonably correct, but I have to admit I have not tested it.
@@Wordsnwood Matthias is correct. In fact, EVERY measuring device in a shop should be verified for accuracy. I found most of my tape measures to be off a little. One Stanley was dead on and another just like it was off 1/16”. Some rulers and the tape in the table saw fence were off significantly. Some squares were way off of being square. I started by testing my all machined and ground square. Then I tested what I thought was a high quality ruler against a known accurate dial caliper which was tested against a Starrett micrometer. Every measuring tool was tested including metal yardsticks and any with detectable errors were removed from the shop. A tape that’s off a little is still good for laying out gardening but is bad news in a shop.
Very nice. It would be nice if they would offer more of the tools in imperial-only. I dislike the mixed measurement tape measures and rulers because the half the time you need to read backwards or upside down to use the scale you want. My preference for imperial is because most of the tools, fasteners etc. in North America use imperial.

There’s a channel “hooked on wood” and he has done a number of reviews on banggood tools. He doesn’t talk about shipping time but does a good review.
Thanks for the details.
Those digital angle gauges are less trustworthy than even the cheapest of squares. So if it doesn't say 45, time to check the digital angle gauge!

what 21 bucks for that clamp and its going to take a month to ship? pass on that one lol
No, the clamp, the triangle, and the two squares were the fast delivery. The TS6 was the slow one. At least, that is what happened for me.
