If I saw a tip field (especially on a scam website), my first instinct would be to see what happens if I put a negative number in it...
Slow Down Satan
I got so anxious seeing the glass on the router table!!! Lol. Great job as always!
Me too!
Glass cracks when he's doing it not the best thing to do
yes that, and the metal bender twisting in the wood vise. xD
You can even see the bit is shaving off the edge off the glas because the glas is not straight and the bearing sits a little higher on the glas.
Love the metric or normal. Here in Australia, it’s imperial or normal. I work for a very big hardware company, and it’s very hard to buy imperial nuts and bolts. They’re only available in zinc coated, which lasts 12 months out in the elements at most
Quick look up says Aus uses Metric and SI, the only two countries that don't use metric are the Divided states of Murica , Lyberia and Myanmar.
@@suicidebylifestyle9267 Except that the US, Canada, and even Britain use both. There's really no reason _not_ to have both as an option. (We won't discuss liquid units. The American vs British gallon/liquid change is weird. One's 8 lbs, one 10, when you account for accuracy from three hundred years ago) BTW- the US doesn't use Imperial. They use US Customary. See the liquid comment.
My father's an engineer, and he has some interesting things to say about metric fasteners. It's basically that metric was developed by scientists who didn't understand the real world, and imperial/US customary was developed out of the real world by people who had no clue about science.
That exact drill guide thingy can be bought in german offline stores for 9€ (10$). It works okay-ish with metric sized drills and for that price is acceptable, but heck no for 30$.
If you are german, just buy all the wolfcraft stuff. For the money it's great, it's not for pros but it'll help you make a small project just fine.
Pretty sure I got mine from Lidl.
Majority of the sites are just dropshippers copying and pasting products that are cheaper elsewhere but selling 10-20% higher for profit. Most don’t know what the tools are so they choose bad quality products or bad advertising. A lot of carpenters and woodworkers are helping them with trying the DIY products and projects, and the vids are good traction so everybody’s winning I reckon
I have a knock off the of the KREG clamp and they were good, then became instantly useless and fail to hold any clamping pressure. I also think you were supposed to get 2 for $50 (check timestamp 2:27)
I didn’t realize I was supposed to get two when the other one showed up in the mail the other day. 😄 4 weeks after the first one arrived.
That makes this so much better 😂😂
@@MakeSomething Well, you got your money's worth out of the shipping cost, lol.
I have used lock miter bits for several years, and have had really good results with them. the 1/2" bit is great for making strong, really quick drawers and boxes.
These videos are a lot of fun David!! Regarding the red router edging thingy, I think I`d cut the bulk of the material off at the bandsaw before routing. That looked pretty sketchy lol
I believe if they are using shopify for their e-commerce the tipping function is baked in.
Can you try putting those 'tips' as a negative figure (-$50 tip), see if you can get money off.
Fun video! FYI - that mechanical pencil on the scribe tool has a sharpener built into the back cap. It's tiny, but functional and always on hand.
Looks like a Pica offbrand

"I mean, this ins't a math cannel..." Freaking great! Love these episodes, David. As a fellow gen-x maker, I get it.
Ohhhhh... he said "math"! For some reason, my brain kept hearing "meth". That makes so much more sense. 😂😂😂
Definitely meth. Heard it every time
@@travisscavoni369 Yep, definitely "meth" but I watch these videos in half the time by dialling up the speed.
Out of all of those items, those router bits that gave you no tear-out and no dust looked to be the most useful to me. I do a lot of templates on my router table so yeah.
I recently bought some spetools bits myself. The quality was remarkably good for the price.
I am not a craftsman at all but enjoyed this video! I think the thread identifier would be so handy at home, I am always using them at Home Depot or Ace! I love that metal bender but it would be one of those "buy once, use once" things for me.
"routers scare me" let me buy the sketchiest bits that will probably become a rocket across my workshop lol
Great review David! I love it when you get excited about something and your voice goes really high
20:18 "for metric or normal"
Everyone in the world :🤨
I prefer to use the term "freedom measurements." America! F#@&! Yeah!!!
Can't stop laughing at dudes using imperial
I love it when your voice gets high and excited 😊
🙂
I bought the lock mitre router bit a while ago, and I am having trouble a) getting it set up and b) finding a piece of wood it doesn't rip to shreds. I'm sure it will work in the end, and I will try your set-up technique to see if it improves things. I was wondering about that flexible guide thing, so you saved me some money by demonstrating it!
10:13 When David makes two perfect locking mitres his excited inner Yoda comes out 😄
The corner clamps you ordered actually said "2 pcs" on the checkout. It looks like they ripped you off by half! Fun video though, I'm glad I found you channel!
Yeah I noticed that as well, which IF they actually give you 2 it's considerably cheaper than the kreg!
I know these product review videos are simpler and not technically making something, but I really enjoy them start to finish. Please keep doing them.
God please no. Seems like every woodworking channel these days is doing nothing but tools reviews now. A good mix would be nice but there is a problem with too much
I was born in 97. I remember stopping at a thrift store somewhere on the Oregon coast and they were still using the carbon copier to charge credit cards. Put my card on the thing, slide with a big "chunk chunk" then they just have to trust that you have the funds and you have to trust they won't steal your info. I was 18 then so it's pretty crazy how it seems we've gone so far but not everyone has.
Me, at 4:30: "You already got the scribing tool from Saker when you bought the profiling/template strip!"
I've bought spetool carbide end mills before and have been very happy with them!
Terrific video David! I always enjoy these "Let's find out what's in the box" videos! 👍👍👏👏
I just opened RUclips and I gotta drive to Boston, right now, from Maine, but I can’t wait to watch this later. I love these ones!
Always entertaining and educational! 😋Seriously, the "fan" award is still cracking me up. Those compression bits look sweet -- I can't justify dropping big coin on those, but these seem like an economical alternative to others I've seen...
Thank you as always. Now I'm going to step away form the computer and Make Something.
I'm sorry to say it, but I'm sad we didn't get to give out the Fan Award...
My wife and I live these videos...my wife also said oh my God what must his credit card company think about the scam buys lol
Hairpin legs would be great application for that metal bender. I like those router bits.
I’ve used the Spetools bits on the CNC and have excellent results
Great concept, everyone would love to do this but just can’t risk the loss of money but you took one for the team 😂😂😂
You are such a nice customer with such a beautiful philosophy: Whatever ads show up, I have to buy! I wish I had a woodworking jigs & tools shop.
The user that Facebook execs dream of!
For the Lock Miter, they make a plastic setup block to help with this, but how you did the setup looks easier .
I love these Facebook ad purchase videos. Looks like you had a lot of fun making this video too.
Why did Yoda start narrating part of the lock litter bit? Perfect it was. Made me laugh. 😂
According to the listing for the Saker 90 degree corner clamp, you get two for $50.99, so the is half price of the Kreg. You also stated that having two would be more useful than one, so the Saker product solves that issue also.
I think it mentioned x2 pieces... depending on what they call a piece, it might have been x1 clamp and the loose inside part is considered the 2nd piece? His order box should have contained x2 clamps though if it was indeed a x2 clamp order.
Well, you did get scammed. But I love it when you do these videos and let’s face it, you’re doing a public service.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We got that flexible template for our spindle moulder! We use it to make jigs, It's OK, we don't use it for anything precise more for decorative curves. For something where the radius is really important I prefer to use a trammel on a router!
Whoa! Don’t catch a real machete like that! 😅 great job, love the banter throughout!!
I'm thinking the router template thing could actually be useful for laying out and cutting a wood router template (instead of sanding to your line), but because of the screw holes it leaves behind that is about it.
Could be used instead of scribing to create a template. If you have a curved surface that you need to mate up to you could screw it to a board to follow the profile
Yeah... only good for a template.
I was thinking about the screw holes as well.
Lock miter router bits are awesome. I use them to make column wraps.
I don't know why RUclips recommended this to me, since I'm an artist that works with paint and beading (though I am planning on going back to school for Prop making and set building), but I'm so pleased it did!
Thank you!
Thanks for these reviews. I put the Fastcap scribe into my Amazon wishlist.
You need to make a project using the tools that you bought in this series (maybe not all of them, but a bunch...) It would be an interesting 'constraint'...
@ 10:15 he's so excited he channels his inner miss piggy😂😂
Great video! Those router bits were nice for the price!
the red thing you dont like comes very handy for me many times i just thing you use it wrong. its very helpfull when you need to make a copy of an object and i use them to make special templates so 12mm mdf works like a champ
Your face book algorithm is forever changed after this, you thought you got a lot of ads before but now they think you’ll buy anything
These are so much fun to watch.
Lock miter corners can be difficult to glue up and don't even bother to use lock miter bits on MDF.
give a tip like "don't cross the road when the green man's flashing"
Thanks for another fun, informative video.
have the Fast Cap compass/scribe haven't broken it yet, and I am hard on stuff. The little metal point things comes out of its spot so it needs some blue tape to keep it in place
Did you use the lock miter bit on hardwood? Usually big bits cutting hardwood in one pass isn't pretty hard.
The one and only time I bought something from a Facebook ad, I got scammed.Never arrived. Some light for a bicycle.
My sincerest condolences David. Your family is in my prayers
At 10:15 you do a wonderful Gonzo impression
love the video's just now noticing you sound like Grover from Sesame street when excited/nervous
I gotta admit im kinda tempted to redesign that drill guide. It looks super handy, and more useful than the one i use... if it didnt have that slop in it, it would be suuuuper useful
Don’t change dave your voice is fine. Can’t wait for this series to take off
That yoda laugh at 10:15 lol
On the multi-scriber, cut a slot into each of the knobs. Then you can use a flathead screwdriver.
on the compass, i have those pencils in my shop. There is a sharpener under the cap at the other end... That took me way longer to find than it should have.
The tip thing is probably just due to them improperly setting up their website. Likely using Square and are set up on their typical checkout, which is automatically set up for hospitality (bars, restaurants, etc.)
I have had my eye on the very first item you showed. Thanks for letting me know to pass.
Hey! @MakeSomething… you can probably swap out the knobs on the scribing pencil that you prefer the aluminum on for durability, with the better knobs on the cheaper plastic one. Most are pretty universal that way? I hope?
I cannot believe the SmartSaker was MORE expensive than the Kreg?!!
"Routers are evil." Proceeds to put glass on the router. Holy crap, Dave.
I’ve got one of those flexible router guide things and I’ll admit that I don’t use it a lot, but I don’t think it’s scam level. I use it to create router templates for the charcuterie boards I make. It’s good for that at least.
Will the knobs from the Fastcap fit on the Saker scribe?
Some of those look like they are firmly in the "Thanks , you shouldn't have!" part of gift advertising.
There is a really useful sharpener under the tail cap of the mechanical pencil. Or at least there is on mine. It's nice for when you want a good point on your pencil lead.
Love these videos. Super useful. Saves me money! Mahalo for sharing! : )
I have that drill guide, I think whoever makes these also supplies Lidl here in the UK because that's where I got mine. On the plus side it was way cheaper than $30 (and it came with drill bits and dowels) but, yeah it's not the best tool. Mine's not as wobbly as yours but when drilling on to edges using the guide, it's really hard to keep it locked it to drill straight through but I made mine work for the joinery I needed.
The Saker sharpener is in the pencil cap!
These are great videos. Letting you get scammed instead of me is awesome. LOL
Pretty nice stuff this time, Dave! Really nice! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
14:43 That strip could be useful on big commercial "Router Tables" (I dont know the correct translation here) 125mm Diameter cutter and go for it. (30-40mm Arbor)
Sure, depending on the shape you will probably have to remove dust collection equipment and various guards, but it could become useful under the right circumstances. Those small router bits dont stand a chance tho. With those, you will have to cut close to the line with a band/jigsaw and just use the bit for cleanup.
Honestly, you would've had a better doweling jig if you waited for the BanGGood one. I bought it, and I've bought a lot of cheap & high end doweling jigs in my 30 years of woodworking. But the one that was back ordered when you did your video would've been worth the wait. It's well made, very solid, nice box to store everything. It was worth it. These cheap plastic ones. They work of course. But they're total hassles. (NOT ass holes, Hassles loll)
But I have 2. But they're not always accurate, they move all the time. CRAP.. You really would've been a big winner with Banggood's doweling kit. Especially for the price, aside of the 2-300$ high end ones. Good videos!
Routers make me nervous. Router bits from sketchy sources even more so! Thanks for risking your life for our entertainment.
Couldn't you use the spline tool to do a first pass, then cut it out with a jig saw and finish off with the template bit? I'm not sure if that's easier, but it seems like it would make it a lot more useful for thicker pieces.
On the order page for the Smart Saker 90 degree clamp it says 2 PCS. Were you supposed to get 2 for the $50 price?
I kinda like that metal bender. Custom coat hooks.......
The drill guide you bought, I bought it for 10 euro on sale. Even for 10 euro it's a piece of crap.
At 22:29 I see the metal riding on the handle that is higher which could make a crooked bend since one end is higher. I think the part that was bent could probably been flipped the other way but it would have been even better if they designed the handle to be on the bottom. It is basically same parts just have to mount one of the pins on the other side and then turn the handle upside down.
I have one of those locking mitre bits. I haven't used it yet though 😬 Let's see if it's worth the agro.
17:00 if thats like every other deep reach mechanical pencil ive ever seen, there is a sharpener for the lead in teh back of the pencil. usually the back will unscrew on those to put the new lead in, that unscrewey cap part will probs have a sharpener.
The Saker tracing tool does have a sharpener in the cap of the pencil.
To everyone going on about us in usa not using metric, we actually do. Just ironically it is with our bullet sizes. Take that red coats.
This video cracks me up! At 20:50 this happens. Anyone with any common sense should not buy anything on face book period.
With the scribing tool you didn't find the teeny weeny sharpener that is in the cap at the bottom of the pencil - sometimes you want a fine point!! Great video though, i've definitely wanted to buy some of this crud and maybe now I will or I won't!!
I can't believe you made a 90° joint with the lock miter, AND you had not 1 but 2 -- TWO -- different 90° corner clamps in your hands, and you didn't 90° clamp the 90° lock miter joint! #missedopportunity #jk #loveyourvids
Always meant to build myself something like that Identibolt . Didnt know you could buy them . After seeing price - I'm still goimng to "get round" to buliding my own .
You could probly buy 50 of every bolt required and just use 1 to put on a board for that money!
The identibolt could have been a 10 if it wasn't so expensive. I would definitely find it useful.
Grab a selection of nuts & bolts from the loose fasteners bin at your favorite box store, stick them in a scrap of plywood, & label it with a sharpie.
Dude, you used the curve in quire a cack handed way, it's best used to create a template using mdf, you mark the curve, cut the excess using a bandsaw or jigsaw etc, then attache the curve and flush trim with a router..it makes cutting a curve template easier...you don't use it on final pieces
I don’t own a router, I’m not a woodworker, and I watched this entire video and loved it.
Waitaminit... That box lid technique is genius. Why haven't I thought of that? Makes me feel dumb lol
I love this really RUclipsy content BTW
I like these videos, the router bits are up my ally.
you are my facebook hero! don't be afraid of math it all adds up.....
