Testing the CHEAPEST Tools from Wish.com

[@imperfectly-balanced8861]

About 6 years ago I bought an air powered die grinder off wish for $15usd, it came with a dozen different bits, different size chucks etc. I thought it'd be worth a laugh but no, it's worked flawlessly up until this very day! It gets used multiple times a week and I'm still amazed at how damn good it is. Wish is full of crap but once in awhile, that crap is accidentally great 😅

[@sonorangaming449]

I could see the $10 impact being decent for like a RC car/boat hobby, also realllly wish they took the case off the plasma cutter to see if it was faulty or just a full blown scam.

[@quillmaurer6563]

Perhaps, feels a bit big for that. I think it would be good for light-duty work, not the high-torque stuff you'd want a good impact for, but as a convenient tool to use instead of a manual socket. I have a similar (supposedly) plasma cutter (is blue rather than red, but looks similar and has "CUT 50" written on it) and it does work. Not all that powerful, but that's because if I turn the power up too high it pops the breaker, not it's fault. With a higher-current or 220 outlet it would probably be awesome. Really wish they'd given this stuff more a chance, I feel like they were prejudiced by the price. Maybe they should have tested the stuff before hearing the price, not after. They should change the order of this, instead of look at, guess price, hear price, test, decide to keep or trash, they should look at, test (thoroughly with real expectations), guess price, hear price, decide if is worth that price or not.

The $10 impact would be good to use to put wheel nuts back on. It won’t over torque. Then you can go over with torque wrench if you want to.

[@sirbrokenlegs2074]

That's what i was gonna say. At our shop we do just the thing, use the small impact to secure the wheels to the hub somewhat, if you weren't brave enough to do a few quick zips with the full-sized air impact, lower the car then torque 'em. I love using that Makita DTW251z, a quality tool that works like a charm. And then to have that 10$ thing do just that, yea i'd actually buy it. If something's got big torque, i'll break it loose with the breaker bar, and use that cheap piece of shit to do the rest aside from torquing them down. Of course i'm not gonna expect it to last for years, but i'm sure i'll get at least some of my money worth out of that thing. People buy a lot more useless things for even more expensive than 10$.

I have a corded impact wrench, which is quite useful but a bit of a hassle to drag the cord out for it, so if only doing light-duty stuff I'll typically stick with a socket set. This could make such work go a lot faster, a convenient but not capable tool.

I bought one of the electric jacks from Harbor Freight after the Ford one bent changing a tire on crap ground. It actually worked for what I bought it for, only to change a tire on roadside issue. I think it was $50.

[@darkhillseuropeanmountsLLC]

I would have loved to see the plasma cutter working

[@mr.waffles8739]

Honestly I'm tempted to buy that orbital sander, on very very rare occasions I think, hmm I wish I had an orbital for this instead of my palm sander so this might fit the bill for me

[@AnhH88]

You better off buying a used one on Fb marketplace. I had a 20 bucks black and decker and it lasts forever.

[@thcenterprisellc112]

I think you send the plasma cutter to AVE for an in-depth tear down ,great video

[@1pcfred]

There's a guy here with a channel called DiodeGoneWild and he knows his electronics. He'd either get it working or figure out exactly why it can't work. But he's in Czechoslovakia. So shipping it to him may be hard. Mostly he just reviews crappy USB chargers though.

[@junosmodel3LRchannel]

7:26 I love how he carefully puts the scissor jack inside the trash can 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he probably wants a refund.

[@kirkmorris9761]

Thanks Jimmy for your hard work and dedication to the Donut team!

[@REDW1NG94]

The tack life stuff isn't too bad. When I went to aviation maintenance school, several of my classmates had tack life welding helmets, and they worked great and were surprisingly tough

[@BRBTechTalk]

14:54 $30 plasma cutter should have taken the cover off to see what you got for $30. Was it just a box with dials and switches?

[@ModifiedMotors4U]

the thing is, we have a lot of burner tools like theses at work (crap tools u dont care to trash) stuff like undertrays ect the impact would be good as u wont de-thread them and the junk tool box would be great to have when u need to hammer stuff, i may actual buy that impact would be usefull when i dont want to break things

[@randombuilds8336]

The jack would be good for someone older or disabled. Combined with an impact and some people would be able to change a tire when they normally couldn't.

[@chickenpotpie79]

But if they’re old or disabled how they got change the tire after its up lol

[@randombuilds8336]

@@chickenpotpie79 impact or torque multiplier to do the lug nuts, lots of elderly or disabled can move a wheel, but don't have the hand strength to run a jack or lug wrench.

[@osiris0413]

As a handy but non-professional guy the most useful advice I got when it came to tools was: start with the cheap stuff, and when it breaks replace it with something better. I'm not a carpenter or contractor using this gear daily. Every year I might do a handful of jobs that need specialized electric or air tools - unless I'm using them every day, the cheap stuff is still going to last me for years even if they wear out way sooner than the professional grade. Anything I use enough to wear out quickly, I replace it with something mid or upper grade. The things they "trashed" here would still all be worth holding on to if you didn't have anything better, and using until they failed.

[@shaneh7519]

I partially disagree. I guess it all depends on how much you would plan on using it, but even the average homeowner would probably use something enough to make it worthwhile spending a bit more on something that will last all your life, instead of just a few years. You don’t even need to get the super expensive shit, but why pay 10 bucks for an impact that might last a few projects when you can pay 80 bucks for something that will actually last. Buying something you anticipate will break is stupid and wasteful. In both money and now you’re contributing to more junk being thrown into landfills

[@beardedxj]

This is becoming one of my favorite series you guys have done.

[@zymeon]

open the plasma cutter case up, see if it's just a fan and weights or if they actually tried making something that works.

[@danielevans6578]

Props to Jimbo for being able to stand on that tiny peg. You da real MVP.

[@BPBomber]

Glad you uploaded today. The days when donut is silent is always a bummer 😆

[@jacobwcrosby]

They left out all of the shipping costs. Shipping is often more than the item itself! Pisses me off how they misrepresent wish as cheap, when it absolutely is not.

[@FokkerBoombass]

That $10 tool set is another reason why it's INEXCUSABLE for a household to not have a basic tool kit. I know too many people who call expert help every time a smallest stupid thing comes up that only requires a simple tool and a google search at best to sort out.

[@Mrturbocorona]

Was actually hoping the plasma cutter would work love these types of videos keep up the good work lads

[@Alternate_Ending]

yeah i was sad they didn't try to trouble shoot it. it powered on maybe the plug for the regulator was on the end of the hose or something... i dunno. I mean the sander they didn't even plug in at first.

[@quillmaurer6563]

I have a supposedly similar plasma cutter (looks similar, says "Cut 50," but is blue) that works reasonably well. Can't do a lot because if I turn up the power much it pops the breaker, but that's not it's fault, if I had a higher-current or 220 outlet I bet it would do quite well. They gave up on it way too quickly, should have troubleshot it a bit. They were ready to declare it junk as soon as they heard the price, didn't give it a fair chance.

[@mantisushi]

I'd keep that electric scissor jack, perfect for tire changes

[@AtomicLimelight]

i agree. i feel like they were harsh on the jack for no reason. trunk space and weight isn't really an issue if you're driving a normal car, especially for something that size. i actually want one lol

[@MrTyler189]

"It's on, it's got a fan. This thing's gunna cut." 😂

[@patty578]

I turned on a drill from wish. It started a time loop that I can’t get out. I’ve been living this same day over and over again for 15 years now.

[@GilgameshEthics]

hmm

[@rosenevil74]

I bought a discount tire inflator once. The second I turned it on it started smoking.

[@muaazmasood1101]

Well. You got a cool ass smoke machine then for your car.

[@shannacollins4741]

Ive got one of those that is so fire! Lol uhh yeah mine started smoking right away also even tho they aint same brand probably but yeah cheap air inflator = smoke!

[@robertmiller8302]

Casey, this video is how it was at the begining. This is what i like to see. Yes the tracks did good also. But the old air down way is the best. Keep the vidoes coming.

[@davidkatze2921]

I can vouch for tack-life actually making some pretty decent power tools.

[@pleappleappleap]

I *totally* would take that impact wrench. Would do great in an emergency.

[@akarne7668]

I couldn’t find one for 10$ feel like they faked the prices or something because I found none of those items, realistically they’re great for thag price

[@bdeoleveira8110]

Annoyed me that they called in a impact driver and not a impact wrench

[@edgarorelldd]

These two are my favorite from the channel

[@chefcc90]

Why you gotta do Jeremiah dirty like that? He's not a tool, he's a treasure

[@CaptainFalcon92]

Tacklife is actually good stuff for the price imho. ain't so cheap in general. Got a 40$ torque wrench from those people, works fairly well and is accurate enough

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

Tacklife is a budget price mid quality brand in many Eastern countries. It's really good and the prices are great

[@TwenOalley]

Chinese products have gotten much better these days, even the really cheap stuff.

[@LukasBulevicius]

Guys please make more of these videos :) with love from Lithuania 🇱🇹

[@wal]

Seems like you are taking a real gamble with WISH and people should just pass. Thanks for showing us what’s up!

[@tubewatcher97]

its encouraged me to go there to look fo accidental quality bargains!

[@DJPhantomRage]

How about some wish amplifier tests and reviews?

[@SpaceAgeConsulting]

I've bought a few different Tacklife items off of Amazon and have liked them all. Had some over 2 years without a dip in performance. Good product at a very good price.

[@KyuubiNaruto41]

I have the tool kit bought it off Amazon awhile ago because my other tool kit was in disrepair. Haven't had problems with the set other than the thing you pointed out when first opening it, yes the sockets do frequently fall out.

[@jed-henrywitkowski6470]

While I find that Project Farm has a more scientific approach to testing and data collecting, you guys have a more fun approach! I do like both canels, btw.

[@bunzeebear2973]

Check out AVE or Boltr on YT You never see the guy and he tests the schit out of stuff. & he dismantles it too. Canadian humor. New, and he takes it apart.

[@Banks231]

I have a similar impact wrench, compatible with Makita battery. with right battery, it can easily break ~120Nm wheel nuts

[@aaronong5146]

TNice tutorials tutorial was so easy to understand. Thank you so much!

[@Holtenstein]

That’s funny, the 198 piece tool set I was totally thinking of leaving at the girlfriend’s mothers house. Totally worth it

[@YFBDJ]

I bought that orbital sander from Amazon a couple of years back. Cost me much more though...wish I'd gone to Wish! Either way, it was still cheap and I've used it for hours continuously on many different jobs.

[@tiloalo]

It's also not 10$ on wish... They got played by seller displaying a lower price by exploding shipping cost.

[@Seabass1206]

10$ for the took kit was an absolute steal

[@sarukun1228]

Since the sander looks identical to the Bosch (and wasn't junk), my guess is that it was one that Bosch declined for whatever reason, so they just sold them unbranded

[@medes5597]

It doesn't even spin the same way the Bosch does.

[@lukesnukem17w28]

I'll take the plasma cutter. Might not take much to get it to work. Would be a fun project to me.

[@GeTtHeDoG1883]

Built the whole steering setup for a racing mower with about a dozen 12mm Sidchrome ring end spanners I flogged from work many years ago. Could never throw a tool away, but then again, my shed is full to the brim with odds and ends.

[@LunaticTheNick]

MCM fans be like "IN THE BIN!"

[@zeekfarrongaming5302]

I’ve bought some cheap hand tools off wish for my garage and honestly they haven’t done me wrong yet. The best ones I bought was a trim removal kit that came with all kinds of push pin remover tools for $3 on Wish and it was so worth it

[@Cheepchipsable]

Petty hard to mess up those kinds of simple tools. It's complex electronic stuff I probably wouldn't buy.

[@ObeyDeFi]

4:12 he's like dude don't throw it that hard, we're not actually throwing it out

[@JorgioBeckett]

Break open the plasma cutter to see what's up. I'm just curious now. I remember Mighty Car Mods bought a "chip" and found it the chip had no data to actually do anything but light the little LED light to "signal" it was on. It was just a simple closed loop circuit 😄.

[@BR-ik4qh]

I have bought a few tack life stuff on Amazon. They have been good. Much better than expected

[@XaoFakeNick]

I got jumpscared with the tongue plasma thing... hahahaha I'm so dumb.

[@Dabbindru]

Calling Jeremiah the biggest tool in the shop is an understatement

[@ChrissClutch]

“Well, You wanted more air time, this is what you gotta do!” 😂

[@ParkedUpAnywhere]

Technically…wouldnt Jobe be the biggest tool (in a good way) …being a mechanic? Haha.

[@jeremyprunty6194]

The problem is is you never know what you're getting from wish

[@michaelcleary7065]

Ive been using a couple tack life tools for about 5 years now. Surprisingly reliable for bargin bin tools
