STOP Using These 3 Temu Tools Before It's Too Late

[@LiquidSnakeSSJ4]

that grinder chainsaw disc was a horrific invention. glad you're alright, Pete

[@petestools]

Tell me about it

[@scorpion-in2xj]

Did the same think Peter. Temu dont care about your health there only worried about money .theres a lot of junk with them 😡

[@clemwalton4767]

That grinder saw attachment is actually a invention like from the 90's they were made much better back then. A one piece unit

[@richjones5432]

The kettle made me laugh . When I was a kid and were poor my dad would go out and steal another one. Simples . Great feel good channel. Keep it up.

[@waddney4121]

you were very lucky with that angle grinder, I'm glad that's the only injuries you had could've been horrendous

[@petestools]

YEP PTS LOL

[@EdStonesy]

I remember dropping a stihl saw on the floor a little too fast whilst cutting concrete… it fell over and the blade sunk itself straight into my leg… the blade was so hot it cauterised the cut and didn’t shed one drop of blood. It was a good 1/2 inch deep too. Anyway carried on about my day robbing banks

[@Arcticpagan]

😂

[@petestools]

Wow, talk about a 'cutting' edge experience! It's amazing you managed to keep going after that - next time, maybe just stick to robbing banks without the heavy machinery!

[@mitchmacfayden9535]

Hey, Pete. My uncle passed away a couple of weeks ago. Your videos help bring some joy back. Maybe have an extra beer for him. Cheers, Pete!

[@blackra1n_226]

Hey Pete! Thank you for doing these PSA’s on tools. My dad a few years back was cutting off a wheel lock his friend has lost the key too. The lock broke off and shot directly into his eye. He is permanently blind now and it all happened in a split second. Remember everyone proper ppe is a necessity even if it makes it harder to do your job, because think about how much harder it’ll be when you loose a eye or arm

[@ericwalker3459]

I’m glad you got away with only a horrible scratch! I heard those angle grinder attachments were lethal! Thanks for letting us know about the other two things. I probably would have tried the welding rod,and gassed myself away. Thanks,and I’ll be subscribing

Pete you're a bloody legend. Keep doing new Zealand proud my friend,not only educating, but saving money and lives with ya info, myself included. you're an official kiwi legend, everyone I know just calls ya grandad, "if ya don't know ask grandad"

[@d.k.1394]

Even normal angle grinders with grinding discs on are pretty dangerous...especially the large ones

[@petestools]

Definitely! Those large grinders are like the Hulk of power tools-powerful but a little too unpredictable for comfort!

[@vladimus9749]

Some people consider them the most dangerous tool in the shop and I never even realized until it was explained why

[@jeromereed1097]

I'm a retired carpenter and suffered two bad power saw accidents in my 30 years framing houses. Both times it was caused by a guard that stuck open. Those saws you had in your video had no guard at all and were terrifying!

[@ergomedasa1362]

I heard a really good description here on youtube about that angle grinder chainsaw disc, it goes something like this: "It posesses similar dangers to the tip of a chainsaw but unlike a chainsaw the dangers now covers 360 degrees or in other words every possible direction"

[@Gilgamesh_King_Of_Uruk]

Was cutting an old metal pipe with an angle grinder, guard on, and I must've hit a weak part or something because it just suddenly went through and the grinder fell from my hands, if the cord wasn't caught up in the vise handle in a way it just left the grinder hanging, it would've fell straight into my bare feet in sandals just under it, or just danced in the ground. Was lucky it didn't hang too far down either, otherwise it could've swinged to my belly. Had to smoke a couple ciggies and a whiskey after that. Cheers Pete.

[@melgross]

That’s why I would never buy a grinder with a lock on switch. Imagine the problems that could cause, particularly if it’s a battery model.

[@darrenchapman7203]

I was repairing some rust on a Toyota hiace van using a Makita GA9000 grinder , I had the grinder above my shoulders to get that last little bit of rust near the gutter, when the disc grabs and flips the grinder around and ran it diagonally across my chest, ended up with a few stitches.

[@General_patton]

Pete ive had a few close calls with tools, im a little off as well. I tried getting cable to my bedroom tv as a teenager, i got thr largeest drill bit (3 foot) from my dads box and drilled a hole in the floor right into the houses main power! 💥💥 drill turned into a firework! I survived

Stumpy nubs had a similar accident a couple of years back. He followed it up with a good safety video after he recovered. I like tools however this chain saw carving thing on the angle grinder is definitely on my no go list. Cheers

[@samsimington5563]

I bet those low temperature welding sticks were made of flame retardant plastic! That's the only logical reason why they'd be toxic let alone able to produce fumes under a cigarette lighter flame. Ones made of metal, like brazing rods may do that depending on the metal and the material of the objects that you're jointing bit even then the smoke is unlikely to be immediately toxic.

[@Alan-r2v9s]

Glad you survived that ordeal ! I buy lots of things from them but you have to be vey careful what you get . Best wishes. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@TheRedGameboy]

Was there any hazard warning paper with the soldering sticks you used on the kettle?

[@ctrlz4439]

He was qyick to use healing potion afterwards. Pro tip indeed.

[@nicholasviney5975]

Glad you did not get a permanent reminder. I almost took my uncles hand off starting a 9" grinder with no side handle, 1 handed it twisted on me while he was holding the steel being cut. Lucky he was not a few mill closer put the wind up me

[@petestools]

Who knew a 9" grinder could turn into a game of “keep your hands and limbs intact”? Glad you didn’t become a cautionary tale for tool safety!

[@Dave_1969]

Mate, great channel. I just started watching your today and now subscribed, and yes, a mouth full of beer does fix everything 👍

[@petestools]

Welcome aboard!

[@ValiantGarton]

The fact that you were using that chainsaw/grinder with one hand tells me you too are too dangerous to be in the workshop.

[@erikhermansson6028]

Last tool you showed i buyed on Temu but never used it after shortie you did. I keep it so i can remember to not buy tools like that now more i buy little priceier insted so you get a manual how the tools work. Safest first

[@petestools]

Thanks for sharing

[@engjds]

Only tools I have had near misses with are routers and circular saws, sometimes circular saws 'kick back' unexpectedly-grip onto them really tightly!, and routers-well they are very powerful, again they can be easily whipped out of your hand if you havent got a firm grip. No way I would use that chainsaw disk, scary as hell.

[@petestools]

Sounds like you've had your fair share of "adventures" in the workshop! Just remember, it's not a real tool party until someone gets kicked back!

[@daviddexter9934]

Hi Pete...if you can, could you give the Weldclass 41PA Plasma cutter with in built compressor a try and a review? Cheers!

[@derekpowell1762]

That chainsaw on a grinder seriously is a dangerous piece thing I'd definitely give it a wide berth

[@danielpoposki1535]

Pete i just found you, must say you're cracking me up 😂. Immediately subscribed to the channel. Also the grinder reminds me of an encounter with it to the face. I'm lucky it only scraped my cheek. But yeh i could change my pants after that i can tell you that!

[@davewhiteman8353]

Stay safe Pete.

[@karldix3028]

Hi Pete , as a kiwi from up northland way i sure like you're video's , the only thing i can say about that grinder saw is to me it looked like the chain was on backwards , take care and be safe

[@petestools]

you think?

[@jessepage8268]

The only temu thing I’ve used at work is the tool bit holder and a plastic pencil with a small sharpener on it and I’m even weary about them killing me 😂

[@petestools]

Sounds like you're living on the edge with that sharpener! Just remember to keep an eye on it; you never know when a plastic pencil might turn rogue!

I learned my lesson about using an angle grinder with no guard ran out of 115mm cutting discs so took off guard and used 125mm cutting an I beam disc grabbed and exploded I've still got a big lump on my hand full of shrapnel 10 years later.

[@eviethekiwi7178]

i've used grinders profesionally for years, and they can still take me by surprise if i get complacent. i was lucky i was wearing gloves yesterday, or I'd have lost half a finger. use both hands and take your time, folks

[@micksteel007]

I use one hand on the five inch most of the time, but I also started working when blades were 3 mm/s thick. If I am working on substantial steal, awkward spots or just things that are not ordinary. I make sure I plan my cut, if something is a long cut and I know is going to spring in or out, I make sure I leave spots joined (etc) As for the 9 inch I have stood on the front face of a ladder facing a concrete wall on the third step of a 6 foot ladder and had that blade stop about inch away from my face and lucky i was strong becuase that ladder even know I was three Rungs up, on the front of it only the back two legs were actually on the ground when I stopped that grinder from smashing my face. I was 80 kg on the third step on the front side and it lifted me straight up and pushed the ladder about metre back when it jambed. (One of those moments when you just stand there and go oh f and start breathing again

[@petestools]

Wow, sounds like your grinder was auditioning for a horror movie! Glad to hear you kept all your fingers intact!

[@badzbradzgoodyz6477]

I always take the guard off me grinders. I was using a cordless drill cutting a 3" hole using a metal boring saw to cut hole in propane tank. The bit caught and I tried cutting a hole in my thumb 👍. Hurt a bit but bleeding was all over my bloody propane tank. Wrapped my thumb with duct tape and kept on drilling until I had a hole.

I love that the land of health and safety find so many inventive ways to connect lethal stuff to are grinders 😅 it wouldn’t surprise me to see a guillotine attachment next . If it spins and it’s deadly whack it on your grinder or drill ( the drill saw looked beyond flimsy) . I’ve had many close calls over the years as I was a steel fixer and you have to be a bit sketchy to get stuff done now and again. I was oxy cutting up through a beam had a red hot bit of metal drop straight down the neck of my top burning as it fell down my overalls and making me invent a brand new dance 😂. And the standard chainsaw and grinder trying to cut bits of you fun . You stay safe Pete and keep the beer close in case of fires👍

A guillotine attachment? Now that's a DIY project I never knew I needed! Just remember, if you invent a new dance, make sure to add a safety disclaimer!

[@dimitrimotor2861]

chainsaw disc I have used it a lot and especially on a grinding wheel with a battery so I cannot pull the plug out, it seems more dangerous but I haven't come across it I work with it differently once you pay attention and can take it into account Even if it blocks, with a battery it falls into safety time and maybe you should try working with it like this or with one that you can steal the speed and let it easily grab you away from the direction

They took a skin graft from the side of my bicep (that hurt more than the thumb) to fix it up.

[@mircscreations6889]

All tools need to be used with respect and safely and even then they are deadly. You are not using the guard and you are not using the grip on the angle grinder. These two things reduced your control and safety of the tool. If a tool or accessory doesn't fit the unit its not designed for that tool. Even when a tool is being used with the appropriate bits even then they can hurt you if you are not careful. The other day I was screwing some metal screws in to some chipboard and the screw slipped off and the phillips head screw bit and plunged straight in to my palm bad luck happens sometimes even when you are careful.

The most chainsaw kickbacks come from using the nose of the bar, with the angle grinder chainsaw disc it is all nose of the bar profile so kickback is guaranteed, I suspect that the chain disc was meant for a five or seven inch grinder and not a four and a half inch so the guard could be left on with the bigger grinders, but with no chain brake etc it would still be dangerous. I for one will never buy one.
