    I'm sure this morning there was a word of warning here from a gentleman who purchased a Veiko hinge jig which turned out defective. It reminded me of a Veiko pocket hole jig I purchased about a year ago that was defective. I had bought a couple of other Veiko products and I was quite pleased with them. That faulty jig, however, has tarnished my good opinion of Veiko.

    Hi Dennis, I was sitting in our caravan whilst on holiday in Scotland and thought to myself "I haven't seen a video from Dennis for a while".
    I checked on RUclips and if by magic there it was waiting for me 😁.
    I've bought a lot of tools from Banggood since I started watching your recommendations, from Squares to clamps to rulers to cabinet drill guides to digital inclinometers etc. etc.
    The best items which I use all the time are the two squares you reviewed in episode 7 and I wouldn't be without them.
    Great new video, and if I was fitting lots of cabinet hinges I would definitely buy one of the hinge jigs 😁.
    The kitchen you have been making looks amazing from what we have seen, is it for yourself and family or a commission for a customer ?
    Look forward to your next workshop video 😁.
    I'm really enjoying our Holiday but look forward to getting back in the workshop at the end of next week.
    Take care and have fun, but don't get too excited again, none of us are getting any younger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • @bruceanderson5711
    @bruceanderson5711 Год назад

    I just received my jig and there are a few differences from what was reviewed. The Banggood website product listing looks just like what we saw here. Mine was shipped within the USA. Differences: 1. Product model number is still JL35-A2 but it's labelled "ENJOYWOOD" with "VEIKO SERIES" just below it. 2. The mounting holes now include a set for 32MM. 3. The bracket that holds the Forstner bit is now allowed to rotate slightly (maybe 15 degrees or so) in both directions. Don't know why that is. Quality is excellent and the best part is that the price is now $50.

    The hinge jig tool looks very good to me as your testing has shown. I purchased that miter square you showed in Episode 7. I received it with very minor damage but nothing a few quick swipes with a sanding block could not take care of. I enjoy using it and it has been a nice addition to my collection. I have purchased many of your 5 star recommendations plus a few others I took a chance on and have been more than delighted with them all. Keep up the good work on introducing these tools to your viewers. I appreciate your integrity and now your dancing skills.

    You sold me on the Veiko hinge jig. I was impressed at the quality. It looked like a good one. But let me tell you about the experience. When it arrived it bore German writing and was missing the instructions and one essential bolt. I suspect it was sold elsewhere, returned, then sent to me. When I emailed Banggood they insisted that I email pictures of the missing screw and instructions. First off, I don't know how to send a photo and second, how does one photograph that which is missing? Nuts!

  • @clydedecker765
    @clydedecker765 2 года назад +1

    You have hit the nail on the head when you mention PARALLAX. I find with my age and eyesight, parallax is prevalent in affecting my accuracy. So many of the modern aluminum based products have poor choices in color and thickness. The numbers and lines get difficult to make out because of poor color to background differentiation. Combine with smaller print and parallax and you could use a string with knots as accurately. Great reviews although you seemed somewhat generous in a couple of your ratings for my taste - primarily due to parallax from overly thick edges. That is my personal opinion but not to lessen the accurate professional ratings you always give.

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  2 года назад +2

      Hi Clyde, I a fully agree about the Parallax, colors, small prints. Also I do not like the thick edge rulers, like I said in the video. But their seem to be a market for these kind of squares. I believe it is still woodpeckers popular Square. So, who am I to judge personal preferences. So, I try to neutralize this as good as I can in my videos. But the reason why I show almost everything I say, is so people can make on their minds themself as well. As long as my videos give good information so viewers can made up their mind about a product I am satisfied. When they do not agree with my ratings, that is also perfect because they value certain aspects differently. I consider your own value more important than what I think about it. Thanks for your comment!

    @Alex_P_19 Год назад +1

    Word of warning. I bought the hinge jig. The bit was blunt and struggled badly on the the first hole. The snap ring which holds the bearing in place scored the drill bit badly because it is poorly sized and protruded in to the opening of the bearing which the drill bit passes through, causing the bit to catch and get stuck. Banggood won't replace or refund the full amount. I've ordered 3 veiko products and all 3 were defective.

    Op RUclips gevonden: Deze set is niet bruikbaar voor Blum-scharnieren en andere scharnieren op de Europese markt. Het inzetstuk voor het boren van de schroefgaten kan niet ingesteld worden op de afmetingen van de schroefgaten van de europese scharnieren.
    Hierdoor is deze tool dus alleen bruikbaar voor het boren van een 35 mm gat en daarvoor lijkt me dit een te dure oplossing.
    Mocht je Amerikaanse/Aziatische scharnieren gebruiken dan gaat dit verhaal niet op.
    Mogelijk dat je tijdens bestelling kunt aangeven dat je de mal wilt hebben voor de Europese maatvoering. Ik ben die smaak niet tregengekomen,

      Het schijnt dat als je het inzetstuk 180 graden draait, dan kan het wel voor Blumscharnieren worden gebruikt

    My experience with squares from China have been way more miss than hit. The carpenter square from Veiko is not actually square and the adjustment screws are just fake and don't actually allow to adjust the squareness 👎. Maybe they've adjusted the product meanwhile to be of better quality but I remain sceptical especially since it's close to impossible to get bad China products replaced, best case you get a (partial) refund but what good is that for a square which is not square? Also I disagree about the value of the Aluminum "machinist" squares, a good DIN 875/0 lapped steel square with guaranteed accuracy and long time stability delivered from Europe costs around the same as the who-knows-what-to-expect aluminium ones from Veiko, so why even bother?

    Dennis, i have bought the hinge jig after i saw your video, but i must say it is not good. It looks very nice, it is good idea but it ends there. The thread in stop collar is joke, was gone after first tightening and the thread is so shallow i could not believe it. Everiting is loose all the time and the bit is terrible. I like your videos, but this was total waste of money.

      I agree that I am not fully use to the fact that they start to sell more expansive products. But if I look at the big Square, I find it pretty expansive, the sales price is OK. At the other side, if it is a good quality, and still a lot cheaper than competition, I can not say it is too expansive. But on both the Square and Hinge Jig, It took some time to put it in perspective.

    It is no longer worth ordering tools in China. We are forced to pay the completely overpriced moon prices in the usual DIY stores.
    Mostly even cheapest sheet metal constructions from the back of Asia production cities, which are then sold there at forty times the purchase price.
    Thus one comes also to the small man purse, which must pay now again instead of 15,33 euro for a small construction unit whole 35,70 with fees and haste not seen.
    Because the 22 euro exemption limit has just fallen.
