  • I bought $200 worth of tools from Temu... was it worth it? I recently had a Patreon member ask about the quality of Temu tools... I honestly had no clue. So I decided to buy up a bunch of tools and give them a try and review.

    I think it was Stumpy Nubs that had a video on a "real" version of the chainsaw disc (17:14), and just how phenomenally dangerous they are on so many levels. I've been using chainsaws over half my life, along with grinders and other cutting tools, and there's just no way in hell I'd even consider using one of those. I like my fingers too much.

    • @BillO964

      @@BillO964 @JCWren I have to second Bill, I have used one for years and I still have all my fingers and never been injured. If your gonna let your mind wander you probably should not be doing anyform of woodworking or construction.

    • @JohnSmith-ld1pw
      @JohnSmith-ld1pw 9 месяцев назад +8

      Amen brother. Yes it was Stumpy Nubs. When a woodworker with that much experience almost loses a couple of digits with just a quick slip of a tool then that tool is not right for me. Respect the badger.

    • @JI-ev9pp
      @JI-ev9pp 4 месяца назад +1

      Stumpy went into the details of his injury with it and how it happened. From what I remembered of the video, he went to move it forward and bumped his work and it caught on him. Almost ended living up to his namesake.

    • @JI-ev9pp

      I believe he was paying attention etc. the grinder touched his work piece and it caught on him unexpectedly.

    I got a marking wheel which is working fine. Also got neodymium magnets which appear sound. I made a point of not ordering anything with moving parts. The yellow adjustable push block that is so popular is about $47 on Temu. I didn’t order it solely because I don’t need another tool that needs adjustment each time.

      I bought some tools from Temu. In general, they are good for what I paid for, and some are actually VERY good, with very high quality. It is kind of like IQ tests: if you are stupid, then you may buy some garbage. But dont blame Temu, just blame yourself.

  • @leilanispeck2655
    @leilanispeck2655 8 месяцев назад +5

    I’ve been wondering about the tools. Based on some items I’ve purchased like the multiblade light bulb and a sprayer attachment for my sink - neither fit and really cheaply made. However, I have purchased some sewing supplies, crafting supplies and things for my air fryer and those have all been great. Overall, Temu is a hit or Miss site. You really have to read the whole description and with some items, it’s certainly worth it, others, it’s not. Thanks for this video. Was helpful.

    When I installed windows for Anderson I bought packs of oscillating blades on Amazon, precovid for about 20 cents a piece. They were great for cutting drywall and trimming our exterior moulding against stucco and brick. They definitely saved me a fortune!
    But then I bought a fooseball table from china and the instructions said “Take people before begin to do thing” and that was it. The product was made to the same quality as the instructions

    That carving disc is the same one I bought at HD and Lowes or at least the same package and they were $20-plus each. I use to carve wavey flags and yes I get about 2 flags before you have to sharpen, but it takes about 5 minutes and you are back carving. And yes they are very very dangerous. Thanks for the sharing the information.

  • @Majesticmountainarts
    @Majesticmountainarts 9 месяцев назад +8

    We appreciate ya, Matt. Can you imagine how many thousands you just saved us 😂 that wood carving tool that you demoed. Yes, they can be very dangerous. I bought something here several months ago off line that has hundreds of diamond type teeth for carving. It definitely worked like no other. Started making a bowl for my sister in-law that she asked me to make for her. 4-5 minutes into it, I got to lax using it. It kicked back on me and removed a huge chunk of meat out of my left inner forearm and off to the emergency room for almost 7 hours. Moral to my story is... don't try these tools out without a lil supervision 😂😂😂
    Love your videos and informative projects, they've helped broaden ideas for things I never thought that I was capable of doing. Plus... it keeps me in the shop and out of my wife's hair 😉

      You got lax using a dangerous tool. That is like the dead crabber saying I got lax on deck cause the seas were calm for a minute. I have used the chainsaw and the diamonds for several years "knock on wood I never get lax when I use them" and never had an issue. Bottom line you should never get lax when operating any tool no matter how safe you think it is.

    I’ve had mixed results from Temu. Many things are smaller than you’d expect. A flexible shaft for an impact driver broke immediately. A tap and die set didn’t have some most common bolt thread gages. The stainless steel and red plastic T-square was total crap. The oscillating tool blades were decent. I bought some router bits that I haven’t tried yet.

  • @ChrisTexan
    @ChrisTexan 8 месяцев назад +4

    For the tiny drill bits, use a dremel instead of a normal drill (ideally a dremel press to reduce snapping likelihood). Thanks for the great overview, I've deliberately never even considered Temu just because of the "junk appearance" even in their ads, this just affirms that further, something like the drill bits or jigsaw blades maybe seem like a "can't lose for the price" proposition (heck, they probably all come off the same assembly line, with just low-tolerances (or cheaper input materials) going out the chinesieum Temu/Alibaba doors, the "graded materials/final tolerance/prep attention to detail" products going out the "name brands" door, but definitely anything that is comprised of more than a single part, is clearly junk, and the more parts, the more the junk multiplies in junkitude.
    I did wonder if the router plate could be "belt sanded" into flatness/squareness just for the sake of "I've bought it, can anything be salvaged for review" purposes, but then again, like the grinder chainsaw, a router bit at 20k rpm flying out of a crap router, probably as dangerous if not more so.

    Ive done a couple of orders on temu, and yes, it is mixed results. However, I ordered T-track, stops, set up blocks, and was really impressed with the quality of these, and a few other items for the money. I noticed at the beginning of the video, you had a track bar or similar pocking out the bag, but didn't review it. I only ask as I was considering ordering a track bar, and mitre guage for the table saw .

    I've been ordering from Temu, off and on for about a year now, but have stayed away from woodworking tools and after seeing this will continue to do so. Out of approximately 10 orders costing a few hundred dollars, of various things per order, from kitchen scissors to eye hook 100 pound magnets, I've only had one disappointing item and that was a hairband of all things. Lol I will say the kitchen scissors I paid a little over a dollar for rivals the 20 something dollar one I also have. As a crafter and woodworker, there are a lot of options that are wicked cheap. Most of my orders I'd prepare myself for them to be very sub-par, but for just under or just over $1.00, I figured it would be worth a try. And as I said I only had one off the wall hair item that wasn't worth a crap. My only issue is that instructions aren't really instructional. Need cool looking tire stem caps, a phone case, neodymium magnets, hair clips, kitchen scissors or other such under $5.00 items, it's definitely worth a try though.

    I bought one of the chainsaw carving blades years ago, but it was a name brand from Woodcraft. Worked well for shaping 4x4s into, and adding character to a trestle base for a cribbage coffee table, but it was always somewhat sketchy to work with.
    I wouldn't trust anything spinning at 10k+ rpm in that router.

    I've had good luck with Temu. That said, their packaging is universally terrible so I never buy things that are easily breakable. I also don't buy things with moving parts. It's all cheap stuff from China, but so are many things in brick and mortar stores. So you are good with getting the same stuff without the mark up then give Temu a try.

    Lol! Thanks Matt, that was hilarious and doing it with (almost) a straight face had to be challenging. I never considered buying tools from temu, or anything else for that matter. I learned some hard lessons just from buying harbor freight trash. Their stuff is just as expensive as brand name now and a huge waste of money. It wasn't always that way though. A long time ago I bought a set of hole saws and a reciprocating saw from HF, they are still functioning! I bought a router/table combo last spring and couldn't even make close to accurate cuts, then it broke lol. I found a Rockwell on clearance at Lowe's for less than I paid at HB.

Ah what do I know I dont have friends that visit China monthly and watch Yetis (supposedly made in America) roll off the factory line there or Snapon or lots of other supposedly made in America lies. Reality is most stuff is made in China today and your lucky if its assemled in America you know like cars and trucks.

    I grabbed a similar hole saw set from Harbor Freight I believe. The only thing I used those for was cutting plastic and then reusing a few PVC pipe fittings (i.e. find the closest one that fits, hit the hole saw with a touch and then set it inside the fitting for 3-4 mins until its soft enough to rip out). Worked well for that...

She asked where he got it because she had not her pattern to the public yet I believe. Maybe through some form of social media. He said he bought it from TAMU. She was outraged. Sure enough you Canberra blankets, shirts all kinds of stuff with her pattern on it. That’s stealing art! As an artist it infuriates me.

    I use the chain saw disc almost daily for log home building. You don't go straight at the log!!! You shave the log at an angle or in my case I use it to fit the corners of the logs. You used it improperly and if you're paying attention to all your tools you should be fine to use it without worry. It is intimidating looking but you're the one controlling it! Thnx for the video!

  • @jayty1997
    @jayty1997 9 месяцев назад

    A bit of critique..
    Chainsaws do not use oil to cool the cutter or help with the actual cut. The oil is solely used to lube the bar that the chain slides in to extend tool life due to heavy wear caused by steel-on-steel friction. Those disks will dull quickly due to the low number of teeth and the speed the disk spins at. Every tooth contact puts wear on the cutter. I would not use one without variable speed or without a brake. They work well on cordless variable-speed grinders. 12k rpm is way too fast and makes it dangerous.
    The trim routers are actually great little machines for keeping small commonly used cutters at the ready. They do not match up to the name brand. That base is one of the lower quality available. There are many decent aftermarket ones for cheap that work very well. The Makita base will fit it. It's a shame you never tried it.out.
    Trying to chuck up a 1/16" drill bit into a 1/2" chuck and blaming the bit is a bit goofy. Use a micro chuck for small bits like that. Small-diameter, straight-shank bits are not inherently cheap or poor quality. Small, precision bits can get rather pricey.
    You drilled a hole with a warped hole cutter and said it would make an oval. Please make a video on how that is possible. If you can make that work, you should patent it and quit this RUclips thing and live off of the royalties for creating a new geometric possibility.

    I used to make drill bits and a flat mate I had at the time was into reconditioning furniture, he bought the cheapest drills he could find. I asked him how they went and he said they go good, I looked at them and could see so many terrible defects on them, not even having relief on the flute, having off center points, having chisel points at ridiculous angles, having the back of the point higher than the cutting edge. I told him I’d grab some of his commonly used sizes the next day. He used them and said “holy heck, what was I using?! These bits take no effort and keep going”. To this day I can tell if a brand is worth buying by looking at it. Even the cheap ones can be good but they’re made of far less dense steel and dull far quicker. We used Indian steel and brought out a separately branded line using Chinese steel. The Chinese steel weighed about 75% of the Indian, lasted about 75% less holes. You get what you pay for.
