A few products from this review were sent to me by Banggood for testing. This does not mean that I do get all my products. I review also a lot of products I bought myself. I started these reviews because from my experience not every tool from China was worth buying. So I wanted to make in-depth reviews to show you which products you should consider and which product you better leave alone. The fact that Banggood sent me products occasionally does not change the way I make my reviews.
I still give in-depth reviews and give you my honest opinion! On this, you can count on! I have a good experience with Banggood.com and they have a lot of woodworking tools nicely organized on their site.

Best regards, Dennis - Jak na to + styl
As always informative and to the point thanks Den keep the videos coming enjoying them all
Very comprehensive. I like your stuff. Thanks.
another great episode.. I'm hooked !!
Dennis, you put most so called woodworking experts to shame with your insightful and knowledgeable reviews that makes the most sense to novices Iike me. Thanks
Very clear and fair judjement! I will visit more often your site.
Thanks Dennis! I really appreciate the time you take to fairly review these products. You certainly save me time in finding that right tool for the shop! I love the way you use the little thin ruler with a magnet. That, my friend, is genius!
Thank you Dennis. You cover absolutely everything with the reviews. You save us time and money. Stay save.🇬🇧
I appreciate your videos a lot, I’ve gotten and have been using the wnew mitre gauge. thanks for the great content.
as usual, very good presentation. thank you
thanks for setting the rules for ruler as always great information
So much useful information. Many thanks.
Great videos series! Thank you for the honest opinions!
Thanks for the informative video, very useful!
Hi Dennis! Thanks for your 'China Tools' series. You have opened my eyes to cheep Chinese tools that do specific jobs. I have been making do with tools that are not really designed for task, because of the cost of tools that are designed for task. these China tools will much improve my woodworking accuracy. Thanks again!
The best In-depth review channel in CZcams, im really hooked on this channel....bedankt en proost🍺
Dear Dennis, i love your videos, because they are full of great informations. Every thing looks very professional and that is a good reason for everyone to become a better woodworker. Thank you so much for that.
Fantastic reviews, man! Thanks a lot! 😃
And thanks for all the tips!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video Dennis - Keep it up
Another great review! Super informative! Thank you, Dennis.
What Apron do you have?
i really like those videos
Thank you again
Thanks Dennis. From Tennessee, USA. I just purchased the six inch square with extension.
thanks, I think you will like it!
The Multifunctional 45/90 Degree Angle Ruler Angle Protractor Gauge makes a useful phone stand witch makes it a useful purchase.
I purchased the Saker Triangle Ruler prior to watching your video. I wasn’t 100 percent sure what the “scraper” was for! It is an excellent tool.
The magnet on the rule is an idea I’ve never seen before. Genius! Going to use that from here on. Thanks.
Great idea, but I don’t think that ruler is stainless steel. The magnet wouldn’t work.
I have a lot of "so-called" stainless steel items and almost all work with a magnet. In the end, mostly it is a certain alloy. But I also saw a commend from someone who said, that Stainless steel 300 is non-magnetic, but 400 is? But I am not an expert. My INCRA rulers write stainless steel on their rulers and they are also magnetic.
@@HookedonWood some steels do and some steels don't, some steels need a lot o' lovin' and some steels don't
@@HookedonWood Another great video - thanks for doing these. I too keep buying more stuff!! :-) On the comment about magnets and stainless steel - stainless Steel can be either magnetic or non-magnetic - it simply depends on the alloy mix. There are basically two main types - austenitic and ferritic. Austenitic is (generally) not magnetic, ferritic is (generally) magnetic. It depends on the atomic arrangement of the atoms and this is usually influenced by the concentration of elements like nickel, manganese, chromium, molybdenum and silicon in the alloy. I can no longer remember the number assignments, but many Stainless Steels are magnetic and that's cool - and in this case very useful :-)
This was the fastest DIY project I've ever brought to a successful end. In fact the magnet was already in a deep bond with my metal ruler, just for fun. Now that relationship took on new and more serious purposes.
Nice looking tools , just don't think I would buy any of them so good job on the reviews its saved me some money .
Thank you.
If I was going to recommend one ruler/square to rule them all (pun absolutely intended... 😄), it would be a classic Starrett type combination square.
Yes, good ones (Brown and Sharpe, Mitutoyo, Starrett etc) are not an inexpensive option; but they are extremely versatile for the money. You can also buy good used combination squares from these makers and a good reference square to check them against for not huge amounts of money.
Love your work.
hope you can do a EP on squares soon. with wood prices as they are, we need to save as much as we can. your vids are very well done and very much appreciated! thank you.
I asked them, so I hope they will sent me some!
Very nice video
The magnet on the small ruler!!! Brilliant idea! I really like the products but im in the USA and i dont work in Milimeters... i have the kerf maker and a few rulers and i find im gravitating to more Aluminum rules/squares. Thanks for the information Dennis, cheers Mate
Nothing stopping you from using metric. It's easy to learn.
@@Z-add 50 years of doing imperial and 99.9% of my tooling is imperial so naa ill just stick with what i know
Bedankt meneer denes gewldig
Hebt UW geen canal nl n(NIET
l leupen
Dennis . I bought a 500mm steel rule from Banggood it arrived fold in half and is now useless definitely worth mentioning in the review
I would like to win this tool because I think it's the best one I have seen. I like the fit and finish of the base. If I don't win I would like to purchase one from your web site. Keep up the good work on the "China Tools" video's. I find them very informative and helpful. I now have Banggood saved to my favorite's. Thanks Again, Jim C.
hi Dennis, love this series and the way you hold the scoring when you cannot be 100% sure of your review. If you ever need someone to help review woodturning tools let me know 😀 .
Thank, I will keep it in mind!
Ha Dennis, deze filmpjes zijn echt verschrikkelijk...! Telkens als ik er eentje kijk bestel ik wel weer wat ... 😐😂 Keep it up, erg leuk om te volgen!
Like to see reviews for Chinese measure tapes.
Great videos!
I will see what I can do.
Every time Dennis makes china tools series video I end up spending money :p
I have yet to feel buyers remorse over it, which is often the case with chinese merchendise.
Great work, keep it up !
Sorry :)
I love your videos!! My hardest part with these tools is that they are metric. Don't get me wrong in schooling I took a heavy course load of math and even more science were metric was used tons so I am very familiar with the system. The problem is I was raised in the US and on the imperial system, as such all of my woodworking is pretty much done in imperial. It's hard as many of our standard tools are set with imperial rulers, lumber sold in imperial... and to be honest although I understand both systems I can't switch between them seemlessly. Would love to order some of these things just makes me nervous.
16:30 I'd love to see more about those planters
I will make a future video about them. I have to make a new one, so I can make a video about that.
Zou geweldig zijn
Bedankt voor je video’s
Hi there Dennis. Hope you are well. Just found you on CZcams, love the China tools video’s. its great to see them and for you to show us how accurate they are and weather we should invest or not. I cant afford Woodpecker but you have shown me the cheaper way to get nice, well engendered gear. Thank you. Q. Have you got a video on the tendon jig you made for the table saw. I sore you use it in a clip but cant find a build video. Looks like a clamp jig that you can use for many things. Please let me know more about it. Thanks very much again for the well made video’s and I will enjoy your web page also. Best regards Adrian in the UK
Hi Adrian, No, that Jig I could not make consistent enough. I will try to get it fixed this year. But I cost me a lot time back then and it started to frustrate me. So, perhaps I try again this summer.
Hey Dennis, good video, and nice to hear you took the tip on the naming of the systems to heart, it's so annoying that both exist, so annoying to switch from one to another.. luckily angles are (usually) the same.. 360 all the way round.. though I heard of systems where 400 is all the way round.. but keep up the good work, love it :)
Btw for 404 links you could use a dead link checker, then you know exactly which links to update ;)
Thanks for you suggestions :-)
Hi Dennis. I have the small 15cm ruler too but not from Bang good. My one is an original Japanese JGA one with very high online reviews. It’s fantastic with a very clear scale. It was a bargain at only €5. Thanks for the tip with the small magnet. I’ve just clicked a small magnet on it now. Excellent! Another great vid. All the best. 👍🏼🪚🔨
Just to add to the above. This 15cm ruler has a nice lip at one end to make it easier to pick up. It has a plastic sleeve which is durable enough to keep it in which will keep it clean and it has a hanging hole at one end. Lots of features for a simple ruler! I use it all the time. My only criticism is that it could be thicker steel. It’s only 0.5mm thick.
I looked at it, indeed nice. And that clip is handy. I use my magnet and that also makes it a bit easier to pick it up from the table. But I like the whiter color.
@@HookedonWood I couldn’t find the brand name on the ruler but I’ve checked and it’s Shinwa. They do lots of quality rulers and squares. See: www.workshopheaven.com/catalogsearch/result/?order=relevance&dir=desc&q=Shinwa+ruler
Hey Dennis, a suggestion for a future review: clamps. As a woodworker, you never have enough clamps. As a beginning woodworker, since you need to buy enough clamps to get you started, buying name brand clamps can be quite expensive. Some of those F-clamps look quite attractive. I have also seen some parallel clamps, but they seem flimsy at first glance. Thank you for considering this.
Hi Jo, Yes I am working on it, problem is that a lot of clamps are not that interesting from a price point of view. Especially the parallel clamps. So, I have to figure out which I have to choose. If you have suggestions, sent me a link. thanks
Good morning Dennis. Quality video again. Nothing newsworthy in my comment because all your videos are of the highest quality. I see where you snuck in a BCT try square during the video but did not seem to have Anything to say about it. i have several BCT tools including that one on your show and I find them remarkable/well. Made/excellent fit and finish and highly accurate
In any case I enjoyed this two part series and looking forward to whatever you have coming up next
Harleymike /Chicago
Hi Michael,
Yes the BCT is a very nice square. It is perfect in every way. It is adjustable, and I think you have to check it sometimes. But I like the fact that it is adjustable. I like it size, because It could fit in my apron. And of course it is very nicely made. I think the woodpeckers is even of higher quality, but that the woodpeckers square I have, is really overbuild. It does not adds something extra to it only because it is very high quality, (which is worth something) So, the weight and the size of the BCT is perfect and the price is a bit better than the woodpeckers tools.
Here, in the US, you can get different colored pencil lead refills. Red and green I think.
Enjoying your videos, do you have a video on making the tv lift.
Perhaps In the future. But the lift is just a bought item you can implement in a cabinet.
I bought one of the extending squares and it was very out of square. Banggood replaced it with one that had the same issue. Banggoods customer service was good but the quality was not at all consistent.
Hi Dennis, can you make review chines diamond sharpining stones too for chissel and planer blade as you know that dmt stone very expensive. I trust your review and guide us very well to purchase new tools.
Thanks have a great day.
Thanks for the suggestions, I see what I can do.
Can't wait to see the China Tools on Squares. I have purchased a couple of try squares and what delivered from Bangood did NOT match the precision of the website's description. I'm seeking a highly accurate engineering try square in 90 degree in a small (approximately 3")and a Larger 6" or more 90 degree. These would typically stay boxed, and only come out for confirming my combination squares and rechecking squares or machines after disassembly or cleaning.
Try episode 7. I think those are the one, you searching for. Thanks Dennis
Dennis once again thank for all your input - good you keep doing these reviews as some are very useful. I know you have incra fence but wonder whether you came across anything else aftermarket worth considering or perhaps china fences?thanks
Hi Arthur,
Good question. I think the Incra is really a good fence and make a lot of work much easier. In fact I do not think I would do some things that with the incra fence is a piece of cake.
Sometimes I see some fences on Banggood, but they all ask to build a workbench for it. So, not that easy to implement.
But I am sure, that if I find some universal on Banggood, I will make a review about it. But I think Incra will stay a class of its own.
What type of mechanical pencils do you use and recommend?
Dennis, Love your work and your attention to detail! The precision of your work and the way you think through everything and double check the accuracy is awesome!
I’m looking at replacing my very old Delta table saw with a new upgraded cabinet saw. My choices have been a SawStop or a Laguna Fusion. But I noticed your saw was a Harvey (a brand I’d never heard of before, but discovered has been around for a long time). What was the reason you decided to purchase a Harvey rather than a SawStop? It’s a beautiful table saw, especially with the TiN coated tables and comes with an awesome fence and dust retrieval system and I’m certainly leaning toward the Harvey table saw now. Would love to know your reasoning for your choice and why you also said if you bought it again you’d likely not get the TiN coating.
Finally, I noticed an Incra TS-LS table saw fence. But you don’t appear to use it with your table saw but use the one that came with the Harvey. Isn’t it significantly more accurate?
Keep up the excellent work. I love the videos and I’ve learned a ton from how you build your items, the tools you use (China Tools is great), as well as the meticulous way you do everything so that it not only fits perfectly, but also so that it is aesthetically pleasing as well. You have a beautiful workshop!
Hi Chris, I would definitely have bought the SawStop, but this one is not for sale in Europe. In fact I am pretty sure the Sawstop machines are made by Harvey. Harvey is OEM for almost 40 brands. Last year they trying to sell more under their own label in the US. In The Netherlands, they are sold already a few years under their own name. So, that is the reason. unfortunately they do not have the safety feature like SawStop. The reason I told I think I would not buy the TiN coated surface again is because it is very thin and because of that cost too much money. It looks great, and as long as it is on it, it gives a good protection, but they definitely put it on too thin.
About the Incra Fence. I keep my table saw fence from Incra to implement when that was possible. If I have my new workshop, I will put it on. But on this moment, it is not possible. That said. I have to say that I am satisfied with my digital read out meter. And I plan to buy a new table saw in my new workshop, so I probably will end up selling this saw and Incra fence. I will go for a panel saw.
@@HookedonWood Dennis, I'd like to ask you a couple follow up questions.
1) Why are you choosing to get a new table saw?
2) You mentioned that the TiN coating was thin - is it peeling or getting damaged? I live where humidity is ruining a number of my tools and that seems like worth the additional costs...thoughts?
3) You said you would have bought a SawStop if it was available in Europe...why? Because of the safety feature or because it's better built? I’ve been reading users sawing the Harvey was damaged on arrival or the table was warped...so have some concerns over quality.
4) However, the Harvey is a 2hp motor vs a 1.75 with the SawStop, comes with an awesome Miter Square, and Dust collection and is about $2,000 cheaper to get roughly the same saw...but are they. Would love your insight on this.
Another thought, after watching this latest episode, would you ever consider evaluating your Harvey as you do with your China Tools?
Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Chris Thompson
Both of my speed SQs were off so I put them in the CNC and made them perfect..
Is that the one with the extension arm?
Perhaps not a Banggood / China tools item but all these rulers (and squares) work with pencils and marking knives, I would be interested in knowing your views on these items as well. Really enjoyed these last two videos.
Thanks Dominic, I will keep it In mind.
I love my hultafors talmeter. But i almost never use it with a pencil because of the scribe function.
Hi Johan, I did use my pencil here for better line visibility, But that you can use without is perfect solution
@@HookedonWood I just wanted to further promote the usefullness of the talmeter 😄
Maybe another video idea, comparisons of different kinds of measuring-tape-ish things? 😀
Dennis, Could you please group your recommend China tools that come in Imperial, on your website.
Thank you,
Dave Janis
Hi Dave, good suggestion! I see what I can do! Thanks.
Thanks Dennis I think you be offering stickers to buy. Also I’m interested in your apron,have you thought of designing your own
We working on some merchandise. Give us some time :-). The apron is a good idea. I going to see what are the possibilities
Look forward to the 'squares' video.
E.g. something instead of your Woodpecker 1812? From Bangood?
I am working on it. :-) hope they sent me because I saw a very nice one, that when it is good, can be very attractive.
hi Dannis .I like your channel. Is there any chance you can tell me the name of the acoustic guitar song you use in your channel ?
the link for the 6 inch Triangle square with extension arm is no longer available on banggood
Hello Dennis. I wonder if you tried the corner router jigs (ep. 10) with any hand-operated router. Thank you.
Hi Sergio,
Yes I did, But for this it is better to place it up side down. I will show it to you in my next video. Thanks for you suggestion
@@HookedonWood
You're very kind. Thank you for your invaluable contribution.
Pity the "6 inch Triangle square with extension arm" isn't provided anymore... :(
But thanks for the review!
Great review as always! I see there are a few comments on Aliexpress stating that the scale on the 600 mm T-square is off by several mm. Maybe these units were seconds. Was the scale on the one you tested accurate?
Hi Leo, I just checked again, and I can confirm that the unit I have is 100% equal to the scale of my woodpeckers straight ruler.
@@HookedonWood Thanks Dennis.
Hi Dennis when will you test the drillpro multi gauge?
I will see what I can do.
@@HookedonWood thanks 👍
I recently bought a Hultafors metric tape because I wanted excellent quality in metric measure. I had to order from either Norway or Sweden. The cost was about $35 USD. I don't recall whether that included shipping but delivery time was a matter of weeks. Is the price and limited availability universal or simply a result of my location? Does Hultafors offer a line of similar quality tools? If so, can you recommend a vendor?
I bought them from Amazon and it arrived in 2 days. But that was Amazon.de But I saw them on Amazon.com. you can find the link in the description.
Hi Dennis, I saw that your "makita decoupeerzaag" has a D-shape and not the more a T-shape, which is sold in 80% of the cases. I am about to buy one as well, why did you choose the D-shape?
Hi Hans, Yes, that is a difficult question because if I have to buy a new one myself on this moment, I still do not know for sure what to take. For my feeling, I have more control with the D shape, but I did not give a T style a fair change. So, I can not advise you on this. Sorry.
@@HookedonWood Thanks, more control om the D-shape was what I thought as well.
Hi there, just been watching your router video (plate) , you have the MOF001, is that good enough since its 1400W ? I thought you may have the bigger one for the work you do. ps I only have a 700W so non the wiser like you :). Thanks in advance
I never had any problem with the 1400 watt version. If you use it in a router table, you also can go for the bigger one, but I did not find any problems. When you use it as a handheld router, I think the bigger one, becomes too heavy.
@@HookedonWood yes. I want to really just by one and perhaps but the rail adaptor for it to make grooves or rabbits. Ps I love your work table its really good. I think you use a jig to make the 20mm holes, from Axminister, which uses the ratio 3,4 and 5 theory? I have a small one 1.1m X 70cm approx,,,,its a little too small so I was thinking of making one around 1.5m X 1m .and make just useful holes like you did and have a router table within.
@@HookedonWood Hi, the yellow router table plate - did you have to drill a hole for the height adjuster stick you insert from the top ?
The multiple LIKE ME / Subsgribe banners are very annoying. the content is very helpfull.
Dear Dennis . Thanks for the video. Could you tell me where to buy woodpeckers products in Europe. To be sent to Madrid?. Thanks
I only know Where I buy it in The Netherlands. www.gereedschappro.nl But the biggest problem is that most products have a delivery time from 2022. Absurd!
The big triangle square is generally known as a roofing square and used in house building when building pitched roofs, so won't be as accurate as you need for fine woodworking.
In regard to your lamentations about the Woodpeckers squares; you really ought to look up fellow CZcams content creator Mirock @ Mirock's Toolworks. He has made a square similar to the WoodPeckers, but much much better. Best of luck
Thanks, I wil look at ti.
fyi: I bought the ruler at 13:45 and the one I got had the hole and the rounding on the wrong side (at zero) making it completely useless.
UK links to MDF are both 404 mate?
thanks. One way or the other, these addresses change constantly. Sorry
I have just used one of the links from the hooked on wood website and it took me to a company in Newcastle
It is very nice being that accurate but in woodwork, we rarely get down to 1/10 of a degree never mind 1/100 of a degree. Wood can contract over time so that an accurate square one day will be inaccurate the next day.
I agree
Dennis, as usual, a very informative video, however, being pedantic, I have to pull you up over the title & descriptions. They are Not Rulers! the correct name for them is a rule, A rule measures, A ruler is someone who is the "head" person of a country, for example, here in the UK, the head of our country is Queen Elizabeth II, & she is our Ruler.
Thangs George,
I appreciate your comment!
Does not happen again:-)
Hey, for the small Stainless ruler: I thought stainless steel was anti-magnetic?
Not that I know.
300 series Stainless steel is not magnetic. 400 series Stainless is magnetic as well as some of the more exotic types of Stainless.
@@michaeldodson879 Thanks! I learned more today!
In your precious video you made a hexagon to check angle accuracy. that was a good method. You didn't do it here.
I know what you mean, but I find that more something for a miter gauge. And, That cost me a lot of time also.
this was about more products in short time.
Anyone order these tools from aliexpress instead? Bangood has really high shipping and ali ha free shipping and some prices are even cheaper.
I have ordered several tools from Aliexpress and am pretty satisfied overall. I'm in Canada and delivery from China can range from 2 to 8 weeks. You'll find a lot of vendors selling the same tools under different names and pay attention to the overall price - some have free delivery, and for others the price is lower but delivery charges often pushes the price higher than those having 'free' delivery.
Even not squer exactly but most of everage user more than enough even bahouse selling same staff more price than order self direct to China.
I use the Hultafor 2 metre tape but my go to measuring tape is the BMI Quickie
czcams.com/video/TkfpBhiXdJw/video.html
Looks indeed nice
Are you selling these tools for China? Some of these tools are good but most of them terrible, unsafe
I make reviews about these tools, that started because of what you say. I do not think "most" of them are terrible, but there are products you can better avoid. So, I hope to give a right impression with my video's which products are good and which not.
I have a damaged item that arrived, I sent proof but they are making things difficult to get a replacement. Other items that came from China direct were good (packing really well), this item came from the EU - packing wad really bad, this caused the issue. It seems to me if the product is from the EU. So I do not know if the EU guys are just not bothered and so do not order items that come in from the EU only China or banggood are just bad at replacing damaged items , so BEWARE! ( ps I have no issue with with people from the EU, my parents and 90% of my family are EU nationals :) ). Perhaps its a risk buy these items or do you buy expect a small number of issue for the price?
Hi Christopher, sorry to read this. I hope they will fixed your problem in the end. I agree that packaging is not always a strong point. That is why I name the packaging in most of my videos. I know they are working on it, thanks to comments like yours. I know they read the comments and working on it to improve themselves.
When are you going to do a build video. I am getting tired of these China tools videos...and I am sure other are too. Are you a woodworker or a marketing robot for Banggood?
Hi, Good question. I have my channel for a good 1.5 year now. I started this project with an open mind. See where it leads me to and what will be the identity of my channel. I will make a serie about my new workshop in the near future. I need all kind of new workbenches and I have a lot of great ideas to implement in this. I think this will be interesting.
Second is reviews. On this moment I have the China Tools series. I am happy with that because they are my most viewed and rewarded videos and It leads that also well known brand are contacting me on the moment for reviews. And I like to do reviews and dig deep in questions and subjects about dust extraction, glue etc. So, I think that will be my three points. Reviews, Shop improvement and woodworking topics. I do not add anything already existing on CZcams when it comes to building videos. You have to understand that when you make a project without filming it, and with filming it are two complete different things. When I make something, I want to be a woodworker. Focussing on the project and doing this in a relaxed and safe manner. I do not want to be a producer, thinking about shots ad different angles, setup lightning, repeat cuts for different shots and add 12 hours of editing to it to make a video about it.
I upload regularly short clips of projects on my instagram page. So, CZcams is a great place, with lots of content where you can choose from. If I do not make build videos there are tons of others that do, and also do it better! And for shop improvement and reviews (on this moment still China Tools) I hope I add something extra to these subjects.
@@HookedonWood Thanks for the response. I know how much goes into filming, editing, ect. as I use to make YT...(10yrs ago) about a 100 of them on building/modding high end Gaming PC's. I really like you and your channel, just was getting tired of the reviews.
But if that is working for you, then that's great. But don't feel that you wouldn't add anything to a build video because many others have posted similar videos. I can watch 100 of video's on "How to make a cabinet" (which I have) and I learn something new or see something that I didn't in other videos.
Anyway, I wish you nothing but the best. BTW, I don't have an Instagram acct. Did you know you could do CZcams "Shorts" now on CZcams.....just a though. Maybe I will check out Instagram.
