I've never seen an entire woodworking company struggle so much to put in some screws

Need more comparisons in a non-sponsored video.

“The settings are 7 and H” made this video worth the watch 😂

Temu as a sponser aint it Chief

The only thing with worth on that Temu pallet was the pallet it came in on 😂

Watching you guys drive screws is painful lol.

Only problem is Temu tools are cheaper but your pvt data and bank info they steal is priceless.

With battery-powered drills in the Chinese market they will have their own name and their own battery standard but, most will use makita - bosch - dewalt batteries. I'm from southeast Asia, and professional workers in the countryside always like to use a brand like dekton because it has a German standard but is made in China.

This is a paid advertisement. You will not see these being used in any video in the future.

I'll spend the extra money and keep my personal information

Definitely and add for Temu. I like how the title is, " I Bought A Pallet of TEMU Tools" but in the video he said Temu reached out to him and he, "requested" the tools.

Temu just makes me uneasy.

Try using a makita battery in the javn brand stuff. It’s worked for me before with a single hand battery chain saw and the makita battery in it made it much better to use and it didn’t cut out like the cheap battery does in it.

I love Sunday morning videos when I'm stuck at work. Makes the morning so much better!

Temu is so cheap because they make up the rest of the money by selling all your info!

3:54 It is the one tool that rules them all, John. You know that it’s every woodworker’s favorite tool, it’s just that some are ready to admit it. Fun vid. Make it a great day, John.

I thought this was going to be another returns video. Knowing it's actually sponsored makes it unwatchable for me. Nothing wrong with building a small workshop on the cheap, but scam tools that won't last is not the way to go.

All those temu tools are all gonna end up in the landfill. The name brand tools are more expensive for a reason. Sure the temu drill is half price, but they probably won't last even half as long as one of the name brands.

Nothing is free on temu. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. But I've been waiting for a new video John. Thx

Man the whole American flag, patriot, freedom "hell yeah Murica" bit gets alot harder to see as genuine when you support companies like this.

Temu is literally scamming and selling credit card info. You're a shill for taking this sponsorship.

I love how instead of talking out against this companies horrific business practices, shitty products and human rights abuses you instead decide to shill for them. Congrats. I hope the money is worth your reputation.

I have one of those green-and-yellow drill stands. It works okay for somebody who lives in a small apartment and doesn't have space for a real drill press.

I had that same craftsman set! I was a traveling tech at the time so it was awesome. Lost the drill base off my trailer and was so sad lol. I still have the accessories and another busted drill base.

what absolute junk. I would not touch Temu with a 10ft pole!

Would love to see an endurance test. How many screws can you drive on a full battery? How much down time between battery charges? How long before tool malfunction? It’s fine to pay half price for a tool, but if you have to buy three, might as well go for the better brand.

I got the router table plate well not that exact one but close enough and its actually pretty good. I used it in building a small router table and it was more solid that I thought it would be. The only complaint would be that it came with some plastic circles to be used with smaller bits, but they are so lightweight that the air from the router literally blows it away. I did also get a router lift to go along with it, it seemed to work at first but the screw that rises and lowers is just too loose and under load the vibrations cause it to lower on you. I'm going to try and see if I can find a way to correct that. When ordering from TEMU just be careful and try to get as much info as possible, reading reviews help. I've mostly had good luck with things I got through them, there have been a few misses.

you sold out john im disappointed your promoting this temu crap

Don't forget their reputation as a company is currently in the toilet, and covered under a mountain of the brown stuff.

Recently spent $48 US for measuring tools. Only two came with Imperial gradations, rest were metric markings ad not accurate within 2 mm. Did get a free mini-drone that has been a great indoor toy. The woodworking squares and setup blocks are the only ones I am able to use.

The Hymerdinger had me dying 😂

Are you guys using philipshead screws? Switch to torx and you'll have much more grip.

The company I used to work for used Makita on the production line. Those things would put in 4000 bolts daily. I think I saw 3 that had to be trashed.

Best part of the video @ 19:25. The power settings are 7 and H. Laughed! thanks for not editing it out

On the heimerdinger products it's says it compatible with mikita batteries.

what’s hilarious to me is that I have bought some of that same exact junk😊 I tell folk for the prices, you gotta expect that 20% of it is just hype - I mean what did you expect for less than $3😉

how accurate are the rulers is the question also and how square are the corner clamps?

I just got a DeWalt 20v max drill and impact set with 2 batteries, charger and a case of bits for 139$ with a bag of course.

Appreciate John making a video about these tools so people know what they're getting into. Good point about Temu vs HF when it comes to warrenty/returns too. Would love to see more testing!

The day i buy anything off Temu. Is the day the sun explodes.

This video makes me queasy. Was hoping it would be an unbiased review like the other pallet grabs but I had to stop half way through when it became clear it would just be an ad for Temu. All this hype for cheap tools that are clearly ripping off designs from woodworking tools makers isn't cool, same with repeatedly taking digs at Rockler prices as if they were selling comparable quality tools. Rockler, and the other companies being put down in this advertisement, have been part of the woodworking community for decades and offer so much more than just cheap tools. As an experienced woodworker I'd argue that it's terrible for beginners to stock their shop with dodgey knock-off tools from an importer like Temu. It will make the craft frustrating and confusing to learn when the tools they rely on don't work properly and fall apart on them. Not to mention safety issues with this junk that new woodworkers might won't have the experience to recognize before an accident.

Can’t wait for more videos on the new channel. This content make me laugh. Y’all are so talented with your woodworking, wish I had even a 1/4 of your talent.

I'll be honest, the Temu tools did a lot better than I thought they would

There was a different woodworker who did a review on Temu tools, and he pointed out that they had direct copies of many of his other big American name tools. He pointed out how much damage that does to domestic brands when foreign (China) brands rip them off. Temu isn’t spending any money on research and development. The only R&D they do is using old big name tooling in their brand's factories.

I love that moment where John just felt so stupid and embarrassed. 😂😂 That was so funny. 7, and H. That needs to be a shirt. Lol.

As a professional carpenter, for individuals who are just starting out or seeking budget-friendly tools, I recommend the following: Buy used Milwaukee M12 Brushless tools along with new M12 Batteries. M12 batteries typically cost about half as much as the M18 ones, while offering the same capacity. I always recommend buying new batteries though. Buying those used is not worth the risk. I bought an almost new but used Fuel 1/4 impact driver for $70 and a 2 pack Red Lithium 2.0 battery set for $50.The impact can switch between drill mode and impact eliminating the need to purchase two tools. Once you are looking to level up, move on to the M18 series. For anything that requires lots of drilling power buy either a Makita or a Milwaukee corded drill for $115 and $90 respectively. They have plenty of power and should last you a long time. My Makita corded drill served me about 15 years.

I had a black and decker multi tool drill set like the craftsman he mentioned, didn’t even know what a router was, and completely broke it before I ever got it attached

Biggest question is how long will those tools last. Usually things are good when they're new but doubt that cheap tools can stand same abuse like well known brands. Would be interesting to look inside and check quality of components, wires, soldering etc...

Certain things are worth the extra investment even when you're starting out, and personally, I would consider power tools and anything I need to be an accurate angle or straight edge to be in that category. Better to spend more on known reputable brands. Quality doesn't cost, it pays

John as a carpenter my porta cables eat dewalts for lunch and have outdone those and other brands so many times over the year and only pro-use porta cable tool

18:45 with lithium batteries, there is no power output difference between fully charged and almost depleted. They run exactly the same until they completely cut off. It's one of the best advantages to lithium over the old ni-cad batteries.

Omfg youtubers need to stop advertising for this shit company for views.

I respect you massively John and I know everyone has to make money but I'm disappointed that you're working with this company. Not only do they directly damage American-made products, but the practices they use are nothing short of scummy. I expected more from you!

I paid AU$12 for the router table and routed it into a bigger deck, it works well and is all heavy aluminium. I did have to drill mounting holes for my old Ozito router.

If you are a DIY enthusiast, I'd recommend the Einhell tool range. They have a 3 year warranty extension and 10 year service guarantee for the brushless motor in ALL brushless tools. Unlike the other DIY type tools, they also sell all the spare parts.... and I mean LITERALLY EVERYTHING!! The big brands don't even do that for the majority of their tools. In 5 years of using their tools, I've only had 1 battery die and 1 charger, and I use them a LOT. They are also compatible with a load of the other cheap DIY brands

Fun times. Now let’s see the battery endurance test.

It would be kinda cool to have a build off with 1 person using the temu tools, clamps , etc. Then, the other person's uses the expensive versions of the tools to see if it affects the build quality that much.

"It can gut through space grade aluminum." A pair 1 dollar scissors can cut through that. That stuff is soft.

Temu is for when you're worried that aliexpress looks after your credit card details too well

Can I return my freedom and power tools shirt to you? Feels a bit dishonest now if you are gonna work with temu.

I'm actually interested in buying the Heimerdinger nailer, for the amount of times I would use the thing, I am okay with it being clunky... However for the life of me, i cannot find it at 80usd... If anybody has a link for it, I would greatly appreciate it!

This thing can cut through space grade aluminum cable… aluminum , that soft metal… 🤣

My beginners tip is to find your self excellent cordless drill. Then based on that get your self tools you need most from that brand and clone tools that use same battery system for those that you least use and corded version on the tools you least use or dont need to move. You can also 3d print or buy adapters to mod your cheap tools (those with in same voltage) to your better batteries you chose. That way you get into tooling with best price to quality ratio. Still while corded is supposedly obsolete, you dont have batteries dying and in general those are kinda cheaper in most cases, so i would highly suggest getting those, specially on some yard sales etc cheaply. Only thing you really need that is good is the cordless drill, since you can screw screws, drill and even poverty lathe with with it.

This app is LITERALLY malware/spyware, just be careful with using this app

Running a paid ad for a company that sells cheap versions of items they only have due to copyright infringement, and Chinese loose labor conditions is not a good look.

i thought this was a temu return pallet video intill i checked the description and saw it was a temu influencer advert

It is neat to see the comparisons with the temu tools while Chris wears the only pice of temu clothing you got, and rockin it

Not sure if this was tool review or tool shilling?

How long before 7 and H is on a t-shirt (patent pending😂)? I want a cut of the action.

Cord or cordless these tools are awesome no matter what.. i my self have for every tool a cord and cordless pieces

if you are on a budget best off getting a half ok, compressor and running air tools there usually a lot cheaper and even the stuff that's only 20$ works well

Temu should not be allowed to ship outside of China due to patent infringement.

Quality of your videos have been going down for the last months, this is the pinnacle of crap. Sponsored by the worst app that can exist to date.

I read a review of a two-bit, made in China Harbor Freight roofers triangle thingy. Had the angles marked right on it. The guy who bought it used it to erect an entire roof, and when you got to the end nothing was lining up. Finds out that those doggone Chinese had etched the wrong angle markings on to it. Is it worth saving a couple bucks?

I used to think there was nothing that could be wrong with a basic ruler. Until I ended up building a project with all kinds of funky misalignments...and eventually tracked it to the ruler markings were like 1/32nd inch misaligned so every time you happened to flip which end you were using introduced another 1/16 inch error to your measurement. If making multiple cuts the error could compound.

Man, nothing hurts your reputation like a paid sponsorship for temu.

I’ve ordered a Ton of woodworking tools from Temu. Many of them are perfectly fine some of are Junk. As John said “For that price I can’t knock it” I agree. I’m not sponsored by Temu so with that said maybe I’ll do my own Top 5 best and worst Temu Tools video. I can tell ya the house slippers are worth every penny LoL

Wife- what's up with you today? Me- I'm feeling a bit 7 today. 😂😂😂😂😂

I got a bunch of abuse when I posted a video of temu stuff. It's good to see some of the big guys getting into it too. For me it was useful to get cheap blades on jigsaws and multitool. The things that you expect to get beat up and not last etc.

For a “patriot” with 15 American flags in his shop he doesn’t seem to understand how Temu works. Temu is able to ship this crap so cheaply because of the universal postal union which is supposed to subsidize postage from developing countries. China is somehow still considered a developing country so American taxpayers are actually subsidizing this companies shipping at the expense of US companies. At least if you order from Amazon the money is going to an American company and the taxes are support stay in America. You are supporting the CCP when you order from Temu, directly. It is sad either way how little research you’ve done or how hypocritical you are.

Shame you did this, temu has recorded child labor and forced labor from camps, sad to see you fell for the bag of money, a big fan of yours but this is just bad, almost evil. You are promoting slave labor.

So... What did you build out of the pallet it came on?

You kept saying about the size of the battery 2ah 4ah all that means is one will run twice as Longer Now the Bar power does mean something But it should still perform the same long as they stay the same and for someone who's starting out gets the job done as quickly has there skill set allows

I wish you planned your videos more, this video is all over the place and it's really hard to watch

The biggest reason I would spend the extra for the Woodpeckers pocket ruler over the Temu is because it is made in the USA by an American company. I will not support any of the Temu, Wish, or Ali Express type markets.

“The power intervals are 7 and h” lmao

I had a good laugh at the “7 and H” comment lol!!! Glad y’all kept that in there

I bet they have all your personal information now too 😂

I've bought several tools and hardware off Temu and have found them to be the equal of items from Amazon at 2 or 3 times the price.

A method you could use to have a nearly consistent resistance over time that you could use drills and other power tools on so that you can test them with varying loads: A worm drive. Can load the wheel with X lbs to make Y resistance. That way you can attach the drill or other tool to the screw so that you can see how high the drill will lift X weight over Z time

I had the exact same issue with the screw holder. My impact but was too skinny in the middle

Thanks for the video John! As a handmaking beginner, I would rather spend less money to buy cheaper tools cause I'm not sure if my passion would last and don't wanna waste my money on fancy tools that'd be left in my cabin🤣

I have a bunch of issues. Within the first 15 seconds you say that temu reached out to send you a bunch of tools, and the video is clearly sponsored as you 1, have a link in the description and 2, have a code for their website listed, and 3, likely make some sort of money off the amount of people who use that code. The title saying "I bought a pallet of temu tools" is at worst a blatant lie as they were given to you by a sponsor (which I hate to say, but it sounds like considering you say you requested every tool you could find, not that you ordered them) or you did buy them, but are being paid for more than you spent by the company you bought them from in the first place. Which would influence and affect your opinions and comments (which is also clear in the video). You also clearly even with the first product have a bunch of negative thoughts. You have a router table time counter, make a bunch of backhanded remarks, but never blatantly say anything negative about it. The closest to outright negative or disapproving thing you say about it is in passing "maybe not this". I've seen other videos of yours where you have thrown things away and given up on them in less time and called them junk, but with the sponsored product/video you don't even outright say its bad. You do joke and make it clear that you don't like it, but don't act the way you would in any other video that wasn't sponsored. Its clear that you aren't being genuine or honest about how you really feel about it, and likely the other products as well. I heard you say "even if it is junk, for a beginner it might be worth it" but in other videos you often encourage people to save their money and buy quality stuff, or even used. You compare things to the name brand higher price stuff and say that for the savings its probably worth it, but your shop is full of name brand expensive stuff and not the cheap knockoff stuff, and I doubt if we will see much if any of this stuff in any future videos unless they are being used for comparisons or something similar. I doubt many if any will actually be used regularly on projects. Many of the items are gimmicky, cheap, or even completely unusable, and yet you still compare it to the name brand stuff that they can't even come close to in quality or performance because it makes them look better. Even with harbor freight stuff you guys were much more harsh and realistic than these.

for the price of these I'm spending 20% more for hercules tools from HF. They have great warranties on tools and batteries and the most simple returns. Can't beat that in the "budget" tools world.

Should have shown whether or not the batteries were compatible between makita and temu ones sicne they look the same.

Billion dollar parent company taking huge loses to undercut our market. They also pay no import taxes on each shipment when shipment is kept 800$ per package. Our nation has lost billions on import duties thanks to this loop hol. Hate this company but we know what they are doing.

You should do some research about your sponsor. This is a horrible company. Very disappointing 👎

THIS, was fun! I just completely LOST IT at: John - "See the power settings? Seven and H (best mocking tone of the year). Chris: "Uhhhh, Low and High" - Serious I was done... everything after that was just bonus video.

The thing I did was to buy cheap entry level tools at first, and then when I break stuff I replace it with better tools. It's because if I use it enough to break it I can warant paying more for better tools.
