I found a new woodworking favorite, fantastic clipboard and discovered an "unsquare" square.

- Here we look at seven different TEMU items. The majority of them are quite good with a couple of pleasant surprises. Love the CLIPBOARD and COUNTERSINKS and SHARPENING STONES. However, I do have concerns with the aluminum square not being "square".

I just shudder when I think about how much I paid for the 48" t-track I bought for my table saw sled 5 years ago,. I paid less for the -8- 24" t-tracks that literally arrived today from Temu than I did for that single 48" t-track. Temu has a lot of trash but they have a lot of treasures too, the trick is filtering trash from treasure. Those t-tracks are definitely treasure.
Agree 100%. And when you find the trash, it's relatively easy to get refunded or get credit. I'm not sold on everything they have, but some of it is far too good of a value to pass up.
Great purchase.Those tracks are really "cheap".
chisels are mounted int the lower grips. Plane blades in the wide ones. The screw head when used is to your right. The one I got from Amazon has the extension dimensions cast into the body. Make a measuring jig out of scrap wood. Trying to hold too many things to set the protrusion is a PITA!
I did figure that out with what goes where once I looked closer at the device and product pics. I just haven't tried in on my chisels yet, but I like the idea of making a measuring jig. Thanks for the suggestion.
How did you get the T-track for that price? Ive never seen it that cheap on Temu before. Its still cheap but not that cheap
Golden or silvery 😀
I don't know that I've noticed 'golden' but now I gotta go look! :)
Possibly no battery because it might not be able to be shipped with them
You're correct. Once I got a battery for it, it was spot on.
TBH more concerning than the piss poor packaging is the kind of exploitation that makes their economic model work
if you arent part of the solution, then you are part of the problem
So my question to you is this, do you buy from Amazon, Walmart, Lowes or a variety of other places? If so, you are likely buying from China as well AND paying a premium to the middleman. I found some of the exact items on Amazon that were marked up on average almost double for the exact same thing from TEMU.
As far as doing something about it, I wrote letters to my senators in the 1990s telling them that NAFTA was a horrible idea and that manufacturing in the US would never be the same if they let it go through. And NAFTA was only a small steppingstone to the world economy we have now. If you have a solution that doesn't involve throwing grains of sand in the ocean, I would love to hear it.
@@RosinityWW spoiler alert, @Jonbruford7950 buys from those places or money is no object. I would like to be a crusader but my wallet is limited despite my unlimited sense of justice. So sacrifices have to be made.
Bet you are life and soul of the party
