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.

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.

Unlike the other DIY type tools, they also sell all the spare parts.... and I mean LITERALLY EVERYTHING!! The big brands don't even do that for the majority of their tools. In 5 years of using their tools, I've only had 1 battery die and 1 charger, and I use them a LOT. They are also compatible with a load of the other cheap DIY brands

[@farmgrowncountrystrong]

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]

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.

how accurate are the rulers is the question also and how square are the corner clamps?

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

How accurate to either need to be for the VERY occasional DIY types? If you only use your tools for one or two moves per decade, maybe 3 repairs per year and once that Dogshed in the yard, do you need tools for 2890 bucks or is the cheap out collection at 175 bucks for the 3 core pieces enough? Not everybody wants or needs to form a company throwing out 100 pieces of great quality furniture per month...

[@Coen80]

Well, as long as the rulers are consistent it is accurate. I mean it doesn't matter in what unit you measure, it could be 1.1inch, as long as every marking is at the same distance from the others you'll be ok. One can use a twig to measure. In that case your cabinet will be 2twigs wide and 3 twigs high for example. It is only a problem if you work with established measurements, like drawings etc. for all the rest relative measurements are better anyway.

[@Hellsong89]

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.

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.

Certain things are worth the extra investment even when you're starting out, and personally, I would consider power tools and anything I need to be an accurate angle or straight edge to be in that category. Better to spend more on known reputable brands. Quality doesn't cost, it pays

Temu should not be allowed to ship outside of China due to patent infringement.

THIS, was fun! I just completely LOST IT at: John - "See the power settings? Seven and H (best mocking tone of the year). Chris: "Uhhhh, Low and High" - Serious I was done... everything after that was just bonus video.

Definitely definitely build a wood and steel flatbed for that ranger. Full on job site rig with drawers and doors. Maybe some legs so it can be loaded and unload like a truck bed camper.

[@nikipinz]

I'll be honest, the Temu tools did a lot better than I thought they would

[@MaverickGaming]

Thats because its a sponsored video. Manufacturers makes sure tools going out to reviewers are better quality than the ones they sell.

[@escootIreland]

Biggest question is how long will those tools last. Usually things are good when they're new but doubt that cheap tools can stand same abuse like well known brands. Would be interesting to look inside and check quality of components, wires, soldering etc...

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

which only matters if you use the stuff all the time. Which most people won't do. If you only have your tools for some repairs, maybe the few things during a move that need tools and one project you absolutely wanted to do yourself like a gardenshed or doghouse, why pay good money for professional tools if you never will drive those to the limit anyway?

[@escootIreland]

@@Ugly_German_Truths well I would rather then buy Bosch Hone line than something dead cheap from China. For Bosch you can get replacement parts. If its for just one project most hardware stores have option to rent tools so Id rather go for that option then.

I’ve ordered a Ton of woodworking tools from Temu. Many of them are perfectly fine some of are Junk. As John said “For that price I can’t knock it” I agree. I’m not sponsored by Temu so with that said maybe I’ll do my own Top 5 best and worst Temu Tools video. I can tell ya the house slippers are worth every penny LoL

[@viracocha03]

I'm a hobbyist woodworker who cant afford to be a hobbyist woodworker, who is also new to the hobby. I have bought a bunch of smalls from them, corner clamps, measuring tools, files/rasps, ect. For the most part all of it is more then adequate for me, everything that should be square has been square and so on. The files are not that great but they do the job, the rasps are great. The spoke shave and the other few tools with blades that I got work fine. All and all I'm happy with the stuff and everything I have made has been square and true. All the xmas gifts I made were loved and well received as well.

18:45 with lithium batteries, there is no power output difference between fully charged and almost depleted. They run exactly the same until they completely cut off. It's one of the best advantages to lithium over the old ni-cad batteries.

A method you could use to have a nearly consistent resistance over time that you could use drills and other power tools on so that you can test them with varying loads: A worm drive. Can load the wheel with X lbs to make Y resistance. That way you can attach the drill or other tool to the screw so that you can see how high the drill will lift X weight over Z time

The biggest reason I would spend the extra for the Woodpeckers pocket ruler over the Temu is because it is made in the USA by an American company. I will not support any of the Temu, Wish, or Ali Express type markets.

Why would this be a patent.

[@SheWhoWoodworks]

For a “patriot” with 15 American flags in his shop he doesn’t seem to understand how Temu works. Temu is able to ship this crap so cheaply because of the universal postal union which is supposed to subsidize postage from developing countries. China is somehow still considered a developing country so American taxpayers are actually subsidizing this companies shipping at the expense of US companies. At least if you order from Amazon the money is going to an American company and the taxes are support stay in America. You are supporting the CCP when you order from Temu, directly. It is sad either way how little research you’ve done or how hypocritical you are.
