Who the Heck is VEVOR? (We found out!)

[@lastbesttool]

I’ve found that many Vevor tools are just rebranded or resold models and I’ve had good luck with them especially given their price point. I’ve got that anvil and it’s great if you don’t mind buffing off the rust every so often. And their lights have held up well. Their 3-ton follow jack has been better than my Craftsman, and I have their thermal imager and it is co-branded with others including Topdon. Solid unit. But all that said, I don’t have any warranty experience with them but many others who have reported not feeling satisfied. Vevor is hoping for more of my support, but I think I’ll take a break and see how this plays out. Thanks neighbor.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

I tend to agree - for most things I believe they are more of a branding company than an actual manufacturer - I don't know if I would trust my life to a set of jack stands with the VEVOR name on them unless they were shown to be manufactured and tested the same as another brand that would have some legal presence here in the US.

[@youcanthide004]

I have the same experience. I haven't bought many things, but what I have seem to be pretty good quality and an excellent value for the money. No, I haven't had any warranty issues so I can't speak on that.

[@mrstanskaggs1]

I have looked around on TEMU, and notice the same items being generic no-name and the same one labeled as VEVOR for a slightly higher price on TEMU. I have also seen the same items at Harbor Freight for an even higher price still.. Are they all buying from down the chain from TEMU? Hmm..

[@juanandrada6651]

Have bought several tools from Vevor and can't complain about the quality or the price. Corporate structures are sometimes very complex. I have had a great experience even when a winch was missing the mounting hardware. They overnighted the missing parts. Was very impressed.

[@jeffgood6441]

Wow that's crazy they couldn't even send me my missing parts for the welder

[@Mikefngarage]

Me too I have reviews on several products and they are a better value than HF....the 90 day warranty at HF is total crap anyway. almost everything will last 90 days. This video is a joke to me. Their welders are hands down off the hook better than HF even the vulcan or Titanium. I gave away my Titanium to keep my VEVOR.....let me put it that way.

[@douglasdavis5493]

Have to agree, my 3 N 1 welder is awesome! Hands down better than harbor freight. My second vevor purchase is on the way now

[@jameshisself9324]

@@Mikefngarage The video is not a joke. You had a good experience, great. I have on a few things as well. Every welder I have ever seen is better than HF, especially modern inverter TIG which has gotten to be incredible value for money over the last few years while HF seems to have missed the boat. But Vevor is far from the best game in town on welders. Plus you can pray that you don't end up with a product that they don't have good support for, because I've had a few of those and it's to the point that I won't trust them anymore. If you want good cheap Chinese power tools WEN is a good option, but not welders or anything like the vast product line that Vevor carries. WEN focuses on power tools and makes pretty good stuff. As for Vevor, they are just a rebadging company that puts their name on whatever they can get their hands on and market it as such. Chinese manufacturing is complicated, and there is a lot of opportunity to operate the way Vevor does and as long as the original maker of the item made a good quality product then all goes well. But a lot of them do not and Vevor sells that junk too, and it is impossible to know from online pics and listings what you are going to get. Buyer beware as always, and I'll never risk a large online purchase with them. Your mileage may vary.

[@marvindebot3264]

Maybe it's different in Australia but I've been buying stuff from Vevor for years with no issues. I have a lot of workshop tools from them and on the odd occasions there has been an issue the replacement has been without question and immediate. I've got stuff like hydraulic wheel skates, transmission lift, porta power, parts washer, injector cleaner/tester, ultrasonic cleaner, drag chains, ball joint press, brake lathe and even a car-sized inflatable spray booth. Could be there's a management issue in the US branch but all is good here.

[@peterarkell]

I purchased a Stainless Steel sprayer from VEVOR and have nothing but trouble with it firtst of all the hose was so week it would kink at the fitting near the tank, so I replaced the hose and included a spring where it would previous;y kink, after that the I could get pressure in the tank so I replaced the O ring and the flat on the pump barrel and now I have the same problem again and have sent 3 videos and an explanation to support but they say there ws no video attached and I am not able to get any satisfaction from this company.

[@FarpointFarms]

I've been blessed to have a variety of companies send me items to review including VEVOR. I'll say that the vast majority of the items they have sent have been on par with HF's offerings. They have a few duds here and there, but they quickly leave their store and are never mentioned again. I really get the Harbor Freight in 1998 vibe from them as they are working to find their place in the online tool world. Overall I'd say for the price, they offer tools and many other things that get the job done.

[@pauldrinan]

Thank you for doing my homework for me - MUCH appreciated! I was going to buy an expensive tool from Vevor for my business but now I'm looking elsewhere. Subscribed!

[@edwarner4449]

I bought their variable speed portable bandsaw with the mitre base for about $150 on Amazon. Expectations were low seeing as HF sells three base without a saw for nearly the same price. Well now I've put it through about 400 cuts through 1" mild steel, and i have to admit I'm impressed. The motor doesnt even flinch, even on 2" aluminum solid with an aggressive blade. The blade guides are great and tracks like a laser, really helping blade life. The pivot is also nice and solid. The only gripe i have is the mitre scale is about 2° off, and the vice needed to be shimmed .050" on one side, which is easy enough and kind of expected from stamped steel. Im not a fan of knocking off someone's IP, but realistically there's nothing novel about a bandsaw design, really just how well it's built, and they've done that well.

[@timmaahhhh]

Love this vid. Thank you for the hard work! I figured with everything they were sending to content creators, they were pushing really hard. I recently made a purchase from them. The 3" machinist vice on my Smithy mill broke while setting up to drill a new bolt pattern in my rear axles. The options for a 3" vice were pretty limited, I would have spent $100 at HF for basically the same POS one I had, and anything bigger/better, would have been from a decent name, and cost over $250 and taken at least a week to get. Lift Arc has done a few vids on stuff from them, stating that it is "surprisingly decent garbage". I bought a 5" vice "largest my mill can mount" for $87.00 shipped. It was miles above the quality of what came with my Smithy. Everything trammed true and flat. I did some minor deburring to keep from cutting myself, cleaned the storage oil off, lubed it, and am super happy with it. I may buy the matching 3" for my smaller work as quill height becomes an issue with the 5" vice. I wish I could justify spending $800+ on a nice Kurt, but at the end of the day, my mill just doesn't have the tolerances to justify it and would rather use that money for a better mill. ** Edit** I ordered the vice on Thursday night, and had it at my house on that Saturday. I am sure shipping was almost all the cost I paid for the item.

This has been an eye opener since the “F” ratings. I will share this: I’ve purchased a few products from Vevor. Everything I have gotten has gotten the job done and met the commercial requirements that I needed. From Vevor heat presses to Thermal Printers to Stand Mixers and other Commercial Kitchen items I am required to have. Of course, as my business started to grow, I may have gotten “fancier” and more substantial equipment yet starting up, the items I got performed well and got me to a place I needed, especially as a startup with so many requirements. I still use many of the items purchased to this day. I wanted to be transparent. Someone may need several commercial kitchen products and just don’t have the resources at the time. They may need to get the items just to start and progress to the higher quality items. Again, your discoveries have been about data information breach which is horrific and BBB - that has me disheartened.

They are all made in China, even harbor freight. I have been using the VEVOR welder for almost a year now and had no issues. Welds better than the titanium 140 and is only $259 also has tig and Stick and 220 capability. So the reward outweighs the risk. Just need to do your research on every product before you buy.

Bought a VEVOR 60lb demo hammer "Jack Hammer" that has been run hard. I burned up the brushes in the motor after about 30hrs, they had me new set in 2 days. The new brushes burned up in about 6 more hours of work. This started costing me time and money on the job and I said as much to VEVOR, they sent a replacement tool and paid return shipping label within a week. Can't complain there. Bought a midi-wood lathe for brother for Christmas this year from them. He loves it. I gave them a chance because my neighbor had a little mini-machinist lathe from them he was very happy with for his little projects. He has had it about 3 years I think. I think you hit it right on the head. VEVOR is like HF in the 90s'. But HF is top tier now, they employ hundreds of engineers conducting R&D and have all their QC/R&D test labs here in the U.S.A. The big name power tool companies sure can't say that these days. The also now hold many one-off patents (like their off-road jack nd ICON tools) and on many of their other tools. They maintain their good, better, best selection intentionally so they reman affordable for every budget. They really keep the cost down because they cut out the middle-men by selling their own tools directly from factory to store to customer.

[@1982MCI]

This is why you need to stop buying the cheapest brand out there and buy American made any time it’s available and spend the extra $5!! Almost all of the Chinese companies are just like VEVOR and they are all guilty of copyright infringement. It’s fairly easy to keep a product cheap when your company didn’t spend the last several years thru R&D, design, testing, market evaluation, etc and you just find the product plans and go straight to manufacturing after reducing the quality of materials to reduce cost even more and then use childhood labor to manufacture it and everytime you purchase one of these products, your telling the Chinese it’s ok to steal American design and patents and build it on their own and piss on the American who designed it and is relying upon that product to feed his family and pay his mortgage, etc, it’s all ok as long as you save your $5 or $10 to buy the inferior product that feeds the Chinese communist party who then use that money against you and your family!!

[@Mikefngarage]

I dont agree with this information on this video....Vevor has been way better value and better quality on just about every product I have reviewed. I personally gave away my titanium welder to keep my VEVOR....it is cheaper and better. at $259 I have had it more than a year and it welds better. The titanium would burn back wire when using .6mm Vevor does not with high heat. Every product I have gotten is either cheaper and or better than HF....this is propaganda I think the tool den guy is sponsored. I am not.

[@Mikefngarage]

@@1982MCI Harbor freight and vevor do the same thing. They sell China knock offs. In fact many of the products are the same manufacturer and they are branded by them differently. Just that vevor sells direct from the wherehouse and HF sells retail store. Both companies are China whores. But many of us DIY are using these cheaper tools because we can afford to have one. Not because of them being the best quality. I always say.....Buy a cheap one and if you wear it out or break it then get the better quality one. I buy a lot from HF. but singling out Vevor is pretty unfair when they have some stuff that is clearly better and cheaper than HF. the 90 day warranty is total crap anyway. anything lasts 90 days. and paying for a warranty is ridiculous when it can only be used once. Beware.....I sense propaganda on this video.

[@brian2261]

@@Mikefngarage Things have changed with this company in the past year or so, drastically! When this video was released, Vevor's business practices were not the best (to put it VERY MILDLY). I'm very happy to see they did turn the company around, in a HUGE way! Most companies in their earlier position would not have made it. You have to understand that they only rebrand products that are made by a number of Chinese companies. I'm not certain if they actually produce anything themselves. (It's possible though. )They have every product you can think of! Especially, specialty tools. I'm not affiliated with Harbor Freight in any way, not have I ever been. It's nice to see that Vevor has a number of products for very low prices. That can certainly create good competition for consumers like us. However, it does make it harder to keep American currency here at home. (Which we desperately need more American factories = American JOBS!) To sum it all up, Vevor is now a vendor at Home Depot! That says a lot! Just keep in mind that the money we continue to put in their pockets the more our neighbors, family, friends and/or ourselves lose. Which does not work well for the long term. We need to buy American when possible. I know that neither Vevor nor Harbor Freight are American. Also they do have amazing value when you need a specialty tool. But we are making ourselves poorer and poorer with ever dollar sent overseas.

Unfortunately, the actual tanks max capacity is closer to 15.9 gallons and that's if it were filled to the very top.

The product looks very nice and functional, even has a hand crank oil evacuation pump on it, don't know if it works yet.

[@gorkyd7912]

It's probably a company run by a Chinese who uses connections in China to track down the factories that make well-known US branded products and then rebrand the same products for tighter margin. So you get the "same product" but without the quality control, without compensating the engineers or inventors, and without a customer service dept. On one hand, you're a traitor to the free world if you buy their products. On the other hand, please continue to do so and maybe then companies will start to understand the risks of outsourcing to an authoritarian state.

Red I purchased my first compressor from a dealer I trusted. When it arrived, there were NO marking indicating manufacturer or even a model number. It served me well for 14-15 months before failing. None of the internal parts had part numbers or anything that could help the shop find repair parts. Through an internet search, I discovered it was from VEVOR. All attempts to contact them were fruitless. I bought another one off eBay and it was dead out of the box. Luckily eBay follows transaction because attempts to resolve the issue were met sometimes with hostility at their base in China. When the hard fought refund came, I bought another model off of eBay and it turned out to be VEVOR also.

[@ptman3]

I've bought several items from Vevor, some quite expensive. Overall, I've been shocked at how good their products are, especially for the money. I've had a couple problems, but they made it right. With the wide variety of stuff they carry, even some real oddball niche stuff, it almost seems like they don't carry anything unless they can get and offer a deal. There used to be companies in the US that focused on distressed inventory or special manufacturing runs at a huge discount. When we still had manufacturing, it wasn't rare for a company to make a special SKU at a huge discount in order to "hit the numbers" and keep the lines running. With China having so much manufacturing these days, it wouldn't surprise me to learn this is Vevor's model.

Their stuff is cheap but so it Harbor Freight and some of that kind of stuff has a place and function in my shop so I recommend them just as much as I would HF for a cheap tool that you'll use a few times and then let it sit to collect dust.

I gambled and bought a half dozen ADA compliant step rails from them last year. Great design, plumb and straight tubing with a decent sidewall gauge. My only gripe is the sloppy welds at the bases but it didnt affect structural integrity, could have used a little finish grinding. The welds were complete with no gaps, just looked like they came out of a caulk gun. At about 70 bucks each, it was a no brainer and I'm glad i took the chance. Powder coating was pretty decent too.

[@bj20715]

Bought an item from them several months ago, it was okay, nothing great. They followed up with detailed instructions on how to leave a five star review on Google and if you sent them a screenshot they'd send you a gift card. I left them a review alright... Called them out on it and sent a complaint to Google about them basically paying for five star reviews. Doubt it changed anything beyond my decision to never deal with them again.

I have their set of standard 3/4” impact sockets. Working as a heavy equipment mechanic in the mining industry, these sockets seem to hold up very well. The price point is really good for the set. If I would have bought a set from the big guys I would have easily paid over $1500. From what i have read from their pamphlet in the set, they don’t have a warranty, but I only paid $260-ish for the sockets. So 6 in one and half dozen of the other. Very comprehensive set. So far so good on how much abuse they take.

[@elliotkane4443]

$1,500 for a 3/4" standard impact socket set? From what Snap-On? Even an American made deep socket set is $850 Oz dollars, here in Australia. You can get a Chinese housebrand from a tool shop with warranty for $280 no probs.

All depends on what you're buying from them. We bought a commercial chiller for our 100w laser, works like a dream and it was hundreds less than anywhere else. Bought a hat press for leather patches for hats...yeah, it was a waste of $150. Well made, but only heats from one side, so doesn't work all that well and the clamshell isn't very well designed. Like most Chinese sellers, you have to know what you are buying, what to look for, and be willing to take the risk that it isn't going to fit the bill.

I got a 100' power drain snake. It was reasonably priced and has worked well so far. I broke the power feed running it backwards but that was on me. I went with it because I needed the 100' which HF didn't have and also because I didn't want to pay for high quality on a thing I hope to only use a few times. I would say that at least they do ship the stuff you buy.

I always seem to find these videos after I buy products from these sorts of companies. My experience so far with Vevor has been positive. I've bought a hydraulic crimp-er for making car battery leads and it works well. Also I bought a hydraulic hole punch for cutting holes in sheet metal also works well. And I recently bought a 12v car jack and wheel nut remover that is a real time saver so far. Overall I'm happy with them. Hopefully like you say they are just a company trying to outrun their bad luck.

[@JimMcginley-fq5ic]

For the people that have bought items that stayed together after purchase thumbs up. You probably didn't have to go to customer service. Customer service is manned by the warehouse workers that ship their items. Vevor is a broker house for the chinese manufacturers. There warranties are non existent. If you want to ship a defective item back to them they don't want it. You will also have to pay the shipping. There web site says no hassle return. Wrong. If you do enough arguing with them they will give you a partial refund. I got 30%. Like I said if you got an item that stays together thumbs up.

[@glennr9913]

I've been happy with the pottery wheel from Vevor. Mine is the 14" head with a 450-watt motor. You have to be careful when shopping because most of the pottery wheels they offer are much smaller than the standard 14" head and only have 350-watt motors. The 450-watt motor is still a small motor, so you wouldn't want a smaller motor.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

You may also have to be careful about the safety of things like this - it's not uncommon at all for grounds to not be connected or other safety features not implemented - if you're good with checking those sorts of things - great - you can get something that works at a very good price.

[@jojonono204]

Well, so far I have done two reviews on two VEVOR products through Amazon. The first one was a cordless telescoping hedge trimmer which works great considering it is battery powered. The blades are very sharp which helps cutting through bushes. With slight modification to the hedge trimmer battery receptacle you can use Makita batteries if desired. The second item I reviewed is a VEVOR 79cc leaf blower or just "blower". Very powerful, starts very easy, and moves anything that's not tied down. I'll put it to good use this Fall season. The price is about half or less than half what you might pay for a brand name 79cc blower. So, I can't complain about anything VEVOR at this point in time. Except there was a machine screw in the blower air tube/pipe that obviously will not penetrate the adjoining plastic air pipe/tube/duct because it is a machine screw. Not a self tapping sheet metal type screw that will glide through plastic if you think you need a screw in that location. The screw isn't needed at all. The air pipe/tube locks together without it.

[@towboater79]

Vevor is a Chinese company operating in Shanghai, China. At least the main company is. Vevor as a brand is their Western store front and is 'properly' operating as you would expect most American companies to operate. Standards included. The big thing to take away is that it's still a part of a Chinese corporation and IS a Chinese business through and through. What I mean by that is their products are not their products. They're simple mass manufactured, unbranded products that they can just go and put an order in to have their name on it. That's why most things they sell seem pretty well priced but outrageously diverse. If you look around carefully you'll find a whole lot of other small name Chinese brands that sell the EXACT same things. Stuff like tools kits in different configurations but contain the same things.

It took 4 days to get here. All I had to do is put the handles and throttle cable on it, added fuel and it has started right up every time.

I bought a plumbing equipment to unblock the main pipe in the house. I did a lot of researches and the price of a decent brand was too expensive. I ordered one machine from Vevor and was very sceptical about the delivery and the quality. The delivery was fast and the package was very basic, and the machine was solid and in good condition. It worked quite well. The price of the machine was impressive. It only needed to work once and it paid itself off. I lived in the country and very hard to find a plumber for a blocked toilet.

Was a little surprised to read this because I have purchased a few things from them in the past and have nothing but good experience, the only negative I can say is their site would offer different models of an item but descriptions are the same, so sometimes you’re not sure if you’re getting what the title says or what the description says, if it’s not clear, I am not buying.

This was very helpful! Vevor sells a 14" bandsaw that looks like a clone of the Rikon 10-326, and it's suspiciously inexpensive. Comparable saws go for twice the price or more. If it was a legit rebranding, or they're just coming out of the same factory molds, I would have been willing to risk it. But if they just stole the basic design, then there's no reason to expect Rikon-level quality in the first place. An $800 discount might still be worth the risk for some, but I know I'd end up regretting it.

[@vpconroy]

Thanks for this video, I was wondering about this company. I agree with you in general about Harbor Freight, at least they have a pretty big, visible footprint and as long as you are selective about what you buy from them you can get some great deals (recently bought the Hercules thickness planer and their "best" 2 gal quiet air compressor and both seem to be really well made). Out of curiosity I looked at the Better Business Bureau rating for HF and noticed that they have an "F" rating too which makes me wonder about the reliability of BBB ratings. Maybe its the fact that the BBB only hears about complaints which works against HF as they sell so much stuff (including a lot of crap) that it skews their rating. I also noticed that the BBB says HF is not "BBB Accredited" but didnt look too deeply into that actually means. Just wondering how much value BBB ratings have.... thanks!

I bought one and have absolutely zero complaints with it. Here's the kicker, Amazon sells the unit for $399 plus shipping unless you have a Prime account. I bought mine directly from Vevor for $301 with free shipping and received it in 3 days via FEDEX. Seems Amazon might be taking your order and tacking on an extra $98 and charging you for shipping to boot.
