China Tools Ep.15, Insanely low prices

[@escorza88]

Thank you for not turning your channel into a commercial as you mentioned on your video. I really appreciate your honesty, effort and time you put into your videos.

[@marklewus5468]

I just discovered your channel and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been a woodworker for 40+ years, never really took Chinese tools seriously. But I was very impressed with the corner clamps and the 45 & 90 squares. Great value for money. Keep making these great videos!

[@Peter-House-Jr]

I liked all of your China Tools videos - very fair and balanced. One additional thing about the angle finder - I am on my second one from Wixey - the first (from around 2000) used a 2032 coin cell and whenever the battery failed it caused a period of no use followed by a trip to the store. The second one I purchased when Wixey changed their design to use a much more standard and available AAA battery. I always have these around for replacement. I purchased the second one just because of the more available battery.

[@frederickkeppers8791]

I love how HONEST your reviews are. As you have shown, the least expensive is often a very good choice for most craftsmen.

[@Gringo8427]

Hello Dennis, thank you for your many China Tools videos that you shot, they saved me from some bad purchases, I am glad to have found you in the worlds of KZbin and I look forward to future videos from you. GREETINGS FROM SWITZERLAND Lars

[@johnathanball3344]

Dennis, I’ve just come across you recently. You are Flemish? I’m British/South African and I watched some of your other videos and understood you perfectly. Now that’s normally difficult if you Dutch. Your shop, videos, delivery and production are a joy. Thank you so much. Please tell us a little about yourself. It makes a connection for us viewers. Keep up the good work and thank you again

[@rayanderson1870]

I have had a digital angle meter for a few years and find it an excellent tool for setting up my saws and also measuring angles for general carpentry. I think you are being a bit overly worried about the accuracy. I don't believe that many woodworkers are measuring angles to an accuracy of 0.1 degrees. I have only recently found your channel and appreciate the content I have seen so far. Thank you.

[@Kolya_Smirnov]

I'm an expat living in China and I looked for the T-ruler on the local shopping websites. The first one I looked at uses your video to show how to use it. Haha! Very professional video editing.

[@timothylarson3583]

I just ordered the stainless steel angle meter. I needed one with flat sides and no magnets on at least one of the edges. I use this to set the height of the rakers to 6 degrees when sharpening my chain saw blades. I have to be careful with the current meter I have, as the magnets can pull up the links giving an incorrect reading. This method produces a better cutting chain over a traditional depth gauge.

[@HookedonWood]

Man, these Woodpecker knockoff tools don't even change the anodization color.

[@tomaseklund2299]

I'm glad there are knockoff tools. Woodpeckers OneTIME Tool concept is frustrating and borderline insulting to consumers. I want a rounding jig now, not in two or thee (or many never) years time. For the price Woodpeckers are asking I think they really could manufacture more than just to order and keep a steady stock. I wouldn't mind paying the premium price they are asking for "original" tools, I just can't have the uncertainty and waiting times they are asking too. Regarding the color, I agree. That makes these knockoffs look more expensive than they are.

[@marknasia5293]

you both have points although red anodized aluminum isn’t proprietary. I actually keep all my wood working accessories red when I can just for easy storage and when my less than carpentry inclined assistant is asked to fetch me a tool, starting off with (it is red) is handy. Also the red or yellow adds a little in the safety factor. meaning if it is red or yellow in my shop, it isn’t permanent or part of the main tool and could be a hazard.

[@marknasia5293]

i forgot to mention in the SE Asian market, you can get the tools in anodized red, blue, yellow, black or just natural aluminum color.

[@adamdearing918]

Excellent video and advice as always, thanks very much Dennis. I hope you get a good kickback from the sales as I have just spent a small fortune from your links! Lol. To be completely honest, I haven’t come across their 11:11 deals before and then add in the group buys, slash deals and other ways to save, the amount of gear I have purchased for the money I have spent is absolutely amazing!!! Thanks again Dennis, and I hope everyone has has used your links and at least bought one item. You deserve it for spending your time and effort testing, reviewing, videoing and editing. Not to mention the money you have spent buying some of the items out of your own pocket! Hope you and your family are well and staying safe!

[@HookedonWood]

Thanks Adam, appreciate you comment.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Excellent as always. I recently received a set of the New brand dog hole table clamps which are a clone... If not made in the same factory... As the Festool dog hole table clamps. The quality and build is so much more than I expected and at only $37 ($30 with the 11/11 sale) for a set of 2 vs $125 or more (depending on vendor) for the Festool clamps... It's a no brainier. I'll definitely be interested in more from this brand.

You need to be fast if you want these bargains. Some additional items to consider: 1. Cross dowel jig (for knock down furniture) ID: 1701720 $27 USD 2. 14cm contour gauge ID: 1613075 $6 3. Pocket hole jig (see note) ID: 1581989 $11.19 Note: This jig comes with 6mm (1/4"), 8mm (5/16") and 10mm (3/8") bushings, and with drills in those sizes and with drill collars for each. ALSO if you go to 'Plywood Working' channel, you can get a free plan to turn this into a Kreg K5 type jig. And a last comment, I used DHL on a premium delivery of a Qiangsheng Luban size 4-1/2 hand plane. Picked up on Nov *6th* in Hong Kong and delivered, with customs paid, in eastern Canada on the morning of November *10th* with email notifications at each step. Expensive, but first-rate.

The problem appears to be availability at the moment (2023). My various tools have been on order from Banggood for over 3 months now with no sign that they will ship any time soon. The only one that has arrived is the pocket hole jig. So if you need to get on with things check stock before ordering.

Schönes informatives Video ich habe gleich ein paar Dinge bestellt vielen Dank dafür stay Safe

[@Carl-bm6kq]

Dennis...With regard to your comments regarding the error of the digital angle meters, I personally have not used one, however based on your comments I am assuming that they can be "Zero Set" prior to use? If they cannot be zero set...Did you consider that the instrument may be reading an absolute measurement? By that I mean; is that your precision square for example, rests on the surface of your sawbench table when used to measure the angle of your saw blade. If your saw bench table was not perfectly level...wouldn't the error show up on the digital instrument?

I just bought corner clamps on Aliexpress, they use a spring . Haven’t get them yet but they look simpler to use. You may want to look at them

[@katabrontes]

Thanks Dennis, finally bought the squares and T ruler ( I also have Incra but thought I would try these to compare) Mike

Hi Michael, Good to hear. I hope you like the T-ruler as much as I do. What I like compared to the Incra that you have longer holes. and if you want to mark a line, the line is better visible. Incra has bigger numbers. Both are good.

@@hanskutube Hans, there's nothing wrong with them, and I have lots of Woodpeckers tools. The set of eight Woodpeckers 170mm clamps cost US$ 410, plus the extra cost of shipping. Compared with a set of the eight Banggood 140mm clamps for US$ 166, and free shipping, the choice is easy. :-) The Woodpeckers clamps are great and I've used them on every drawer and cabinet project in the past year. At the time, they were available and I couldn't find any suitable alternatives. However, all things being equal now, I would prefer to spend less than half on the Banggood clamps.
