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.

[@nealnicholson9016]

I agree Jeremy. At 70 years of age and requiring two hearing aids I have little to no trouble understanding Dennis.

[@greliusz]

Im a deaf person, subtitles must be important, it makes it easier for me!

[@pauloosthuizen]

Please stop apologising for your English. It is absolutely fine. Your content is excellent.

[@abalaguamit2731]

English subtitles are for the ones whose listening english is not that good, like me.

[@frankdomburg3971]

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!

[@D3sTiNy6666]

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.

[@DavidLee-cw6ci]

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.

[@darrenmoore1305]

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.

[@monkeyboy67]

No need for sub titles Dennis, your English is just great! Another great review, many thanks.

[@c0rc0]

Ah heck, that's another purchase for me. Great video as usual Dennis

[@Aikidobear129]

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.

[@fitz308]

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.

[@karstenf.2558]

Hi Dennis, i was very happy to see a new video and it was perfect as always. Btw. i don‘t see the need for the effort you have to put up, to write the text. I do understand you just fine.

[@hanstenhave3352]

But this way hear-impaired people can follow the video as well and I think that is a nice bonus. The same for people who are less aquinted with the englisch language. So, @Dennis: keep up the good work. A nice video (again, as allways).

[@timbuktu9569]

@@hanstenhave3352 Thank you for THIS reply to Karsten F's comment. I fully agree with you! Sometimes, When I didn't completely understand a phrase, I just rewind the video by a few seconds and READ the comment, including the possibility to see the correct spelling in order to look it up in a dictionary. Excellent idea!

[@karstenf.2558]

@@hanstenhave3352 you are right about the hearing impaired, totally forgot about them, for them it might be a big win. I was more thinking about Dennis English and that is fine for me.

[@markslinger4599]

No subtitles required, I understand your English perfectly

[@RDAUGIRD]

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.

[@vasin7480]

Thanks Denis! Your videos are just perfect source of info! Great job man!

[@schlotd]

To me, your English is very easy to understand, so I don't need any subtitles. But very good for those who have less experience in English.

[@juliangreaves4727]

Thank you Dennis. Another great review!

[@timromano7085]

A very good jig for building carcasses and shelving using standard thickness plywood. Not well-suited to joinery projects with thicker stock and/or narrow boards, such as table legs, rails and aprons, picture frames, etc.

[@crazedwader4954]

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!

[@TheZimmann]

Wow! Nice episode. I really enjoyed it. I hope to see more of these great videos in the future! Keep up the good work!

[@jeffsmith4110]

Another helpful, well-thought-out, and much appreciated review!

[@derfladi]

Fantastic video again! Thank you so much!

[@donmcleod8307]

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

[@robmills4709]

Great, informative video.indepth, honest and brilliantly made, thank you Dennis

[@trevorbrown1898]

You sir are a great help!!! Very well done videos!!!

[@fruitman58]

Great video the tool looks amazing will be looking to add this to my tools

[@katekeough9819]

Another great review Thank you for the tip at the end of the video using the round end this will be priceless to me

[@yossiyaari3760]

Great find. Awesome that they put your video in the description of the product. keep up the good work. thanks.

[@gaz740]

Another fantastic tool review Dennis. Thank you for continuing to test tools that us mere mortals can actually afford.

[@suearmstrong3404]

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!!

[@happytrails5400]

Hi Dennis, as always, your videos are of the highest quality.

[@james_860]

Dennis thank you ,another great episode of Hooked On Wood. I really enjoyed the explanation for the way you use your router.

[@DocRonSnyder]

Another wonderful video, Dennis. You are becoming a rockstar.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic review, Dennis! Thanks! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@contesa32]

Thank you for the routing tip👍👍

[@robnhannon]

You are making my wishlist get out of hand. Great video.

[@timg6252]

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.

[@janeblogs324]

He saved you zero dollars? Nice

[@norm5785]

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.

[@normancoutts]

A game-changer I think. You are providing a great service. Thank you.

[@WILDKAMERAD]

Thank you Denis. Another great Vid. Your Upgrade to your Equipment at the wall is going further. Wohw!!!

[@saiiiiiii1]

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.

[@HookedonWood]

haha, great isn't. Have fun with it.

[@mrgunn2726]

Great video, someone really put some thought into this tool.

[@rashidtayidi1423]

I was looking for a doweling jig today and your video came in very timely. Thank you.

[@jerrynix5206]

Wow, a couple of really great jigs! And thank you for the router tip too, that tip will help a bunch.

[@namelesswarrior4760]

Awesome tip regarding using the round side of the router. Thanks bro.

[@robinalexander5772]

I now have this system. Looking forward to trying it out.

[@sumosprojects]

Very impressed with dowel jig 👍

[@secobaairways4585]

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.

[@realstaceylewis]

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

[@Hpibajapitbullrc]

Thank you again Dennis! Great video

[@glynprice3815]

Another great video. Thanks Dennis

[@KBoxer-jg1yb]

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!

[@anthonystrother9117]

NOw that is cool and really good router point I have never thought of.

[@stevesakotic8280]

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.

[@saiiiiiii1]

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. 👍

[@jamescahill2192]

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

[@michaelwilkinson7845]

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

[@denthefirst]

Deep and honest review on the www. Thanks Dennis. Now i know what's my next purchase

[@welshbloke2619]

Love this review and other tips. Thanks. Your English is indeed fine and easy to understand 👍

[@rexcowan4314]

Good show. I enjoy the subtitles because I learn better if I read along with the video. I appreciate you and your show

[@DavePawson]

Very neat - thanks. A solid 5 stars!

[@sawdustandshavingscreations]

Denis, great video. Really informative. By the way. There is no problems understanding you. Thank you again!

[@robinalexander5772]

You can buy from banggood other size drill diameter guides (Wen products) THey will screw in just fine, on last count I have ten of each size. So the up side is 8 mm is not the only dowle size you can use, all so I have found the plate with A or B on it can be flipped around with A or B facing out gives a different hole position not center alignment. Cheers

[@ianmurray3820]

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..!😂😂😂😁👍

[@CamBill_ROBLOX]

Good tip with router never knew that but makes sense and will be the way I do it from now on

[@JoshuaTrautmann]

"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!

[@kevinshea4353]

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.

[@TheBluealan2000]

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 🤣

[@peterxyz3541]

Thanks! You saved me from wanting a $1200.00 Festoon 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@celticwoodworking8706]

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.

[@JW-mx3qg]

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 😀

[@rfguy8499]

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!

[@bryanblissett2066]

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.

[@leroy111007]

Thank you for another great video

[@Khalid.Al-Bahi]

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.

[@ecmo2007]

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!

[@nickk7653]

Video popped up in my feed out of nowhere. Caught my interest. Watched it, and bought both jigs immediately. KZbin 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!

[@HookedonWood]

haha, thanks for your comments.

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. :),

Another superb episode Dennis. Very comprehensive coverage of the product. My bank balance suffers with each episode you upload!😂

Thx a Lot! Perfect video! Greetings from Poland!

[@derailedambition]

I can understand you pervectly even English is my second language. Great videos! Enjoy all your reviews!

[@dutch4505]

Have owned Dowelmax (Canadian) for over 10 years. Works great but not the best for bookcases cabinets etc. Purchased the Wnew dowel jig. Main limitation I noticed is that Wnew wiil not work well if stock is narrower than 70mm (approx 2.75 inches). Ie unable to drill two dowels per joint for a picture frame that uses stock that is approx 40mm wide. In short Wnew is better for cabinets

[@PaulLongva]

As a newbie, I automatically used the round side on my router. I love your content, keep up the good work.

[@caryrodriguez7040]

Dude, you rock! Just came across your KZbin and I'm a subscriber now! 👍

[@a.molina7114]

Yo la compré y es realmente asombrosa, 100% recomendada

[@steelsunpi]

Really happy about the subtitles.

[@paulcrowley2682]

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.

[@thomasdoherty6876]

Nice tricks with the router 👍

[@GrumpyGarry121]

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

[@HookedonWood]

Hi Garry, Can you sent me a picture of the modified jig and some results? I would love to see them. [e-mail] Thanks Dennis

[@harritervo6227]

Thanks again for the great video Dennis. Your English is great. Once again you made me order products from Banggood :-)

[@ErikBongers]

Using the round side of the router, is completely counter-intuitive, but yes, using that wobbly round side actually must result in a perfect distance. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@CitizenAyellowblue]

An excellent review!

[@robertneely5148]

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!

[@likeakite]

Great informative video....thanks 😁

[@ro0140]

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.

[@HookedonWood]

Cool, fijn om te lezen😄

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

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.

[@steveferguson1232]

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

[@peterbeyer5755]

What sort of shelf pins would you use? You can only use 8 mm dowels. Is there different size bushings available?

[@reece674]

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.
