- LINKS BELOW - Following a recent tidy up and clear out, thought it'd be interesting to share which of the over 60 Banggood tools I've reviewed over the years have found themselves in daily use or essentials in my workshop.
Some of the tools shown were purchased by me, others were sent to me by Banggood for the purpose of review. If you've watched these reviews over the years, hopefully you'll have seen I talk about the tools in the same way whether bought with my own money or sent to me by Banggood. If it's rubbish, I've said so. If it's great, I've said so. Important to let you know I didn't purchase all of them though.
Many of the tools I've reviewed, around 2/3's in fact, have been given away as prizes or given to the Men In Sheds charity. Not because the tools weren't good. Just that, in a tight space, there's only so many tools you can keep and there's only so many you need!
Hopefully by sharing the ones I've ended up using daily or consider essential, other woodworkers, joiners, carpenters and tool junkies can make better choices if considering buying from Banggood.

Some of the tools linked below won't exactly match those shown in the video. This is due to minor changes to the products over time, rebranding or limited or no availability. Anything no longer available, I'll link the nearest match I can find on the site.

Along with Dennis at Hooked on Wood I have found your Banggood tool reviews really helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff. I've bought wisely and can't say I've had a duff product from them.
Thank you mate. Glad to hear it.👍 Yeah, fair play...Dennis's videos are very good quality. His ranking system was a good idea too. All the best.
Thanks 👍 I've had several of these since watching your first review video, great value
Nice one, cheers mate.
Just the type of video I was looking for! thank you!
Awesome. Thanks mate.👍
It took eight months for this to reach the top of my CZcams feed but I'm glad it did - really helpful info, as usual. I have about half of the daily tools you highlighted already, so I'll take a look at the others next time I'm ordering from BG.
(It's also reminded me to do a much-needed clear out / giveaway of my own tool collection!)
Well, glad you found it eventually Eddy. Genuine daily users most of these (you see em in my vids all the time). So many options out there now though. The main thing I'd recommend is the T-type marking gauges. Revelation for me. BG don't do the steel ones anymore but they can be found on aliexpress still.👍
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Cheers Bill.👍
Top stuff, thanks

Nice one. Cheers Bob.👍
Some of these tools do seem like remarkable value when compared with more premium brands, thank you.👍😀 you reviews and those from Dennis from Hooked on wood are really helpful! 👏
Great to hear. Yeah, there's a lot of junk on these big Chinese sites but also a few gems. That's why I did these videos. Hopefully help folks sort the wheat from the chaff.
😂“So there you go. Another question, no one ever asked me, successfully answered.”
Thanks for another informative video, and thanks for that summing up!
😁 Cheers Mark. I'm surprised no one ever asked me tbh. Still, after 3 years and all those tools reviewed, thought it'd be interesting to share which ones have found there way into daily use.👍
Great reviews! Keep up the good work. Would love to see you review the latest Banggood or Ali solution to the Festool Domino using a horizontal router :). We cant all afford OEM or the 200% or more markup to pay for a new BMW
Cheers Marc. Think i know the thing you mean. Ganwei branded from BG. Been in my watch/wish list for a bit. Ganwei bits I've reviewed have been well made, good quality. I'd have to get a router for it too and I'm reluctant to get electricals from BG. Also, a review says it came with US sockets. No option to select volt options on the site so not sure what the deal is there. I'll ask the BG reps though and maybe take a look. Have you thought about Peter Millard' s (10 minute workshop) plywood loose tenon jig? Will only cater to festools 5mm dominoes but is a decent budget option. I have one and been meaning to review it for ages. I should pull my finger out and get on that!
Thank you, very informative as always. Could you please post a link to the Steel T-Type rule you show?
Thanks Mark. If you expand the description above, all the links are there buddy. Steel t-type the first on the list. I'd drop it in this comment but only have my phone and can't seem to copy/paste link. Seems banggood only have the 500mm steel t-type available at the moment. They did do other sizes. Hopefully they're just restocking. Really decent layout tools these.👍
If you do need to replace that saddle square, Axminster Tools do a range of Japanese squares that are stainless steel including a saddle square. I have had their small square for years and it is a joy to use.
Cheers Harvey. Good to know. Cheers mate.👍
Just the ticket.. thanks for the video.
Nice one, thanks mate.👍
Looks like a real shop. The tools you actually use are believable, too. Those cats making hundreds of thousands are, generally speaking, more entertainers in their studio than woodworkers.
Cheers man. Yeah, I can assure you it's a real, working shop. The CZcams is very much a secondary concern. You're right though. A lot of the bigger channels are basically video production studios with production assistants and editors. Fair play to them though. Just not a direction I'm interested in. Joiner and furniture maker first for me.👍
@@BischBaschBosch I've been encouraged to record CZcams videos. The chief proponent is brimming with ideas about what I should do to make lots of $$$. I'm okay. He suggests downright silly schemes like opening a woodworking school out here on the dusty, treeless high prairie of Wyoming. But I'd be interested in recording three to ten minute segments somewhat like yours from time to time. I know some things that would interest avid woodworkers. Can you suggest bodies of information I should become familiar with ? I don't imagine making significant money or being sent viewers by the algorithm nor do I want to sell coffee mugs or pricey goods, just share a little of what I've seen.
@@markkoons7488 Hi Mark. Sorry it's taken so long to see your comment. Yeah, avoid entering the CZcams woodworking community as a way to make money. You'll very likely end up disappointed. If you just want to share knowledge of the craft, workshop knowledge etc, just go for it! Assuming you've already knowledge/experience in this area, I don't know what you mean by "bodies of work" I can recommend. What I would advise is to seek advice (video tutorials) on thumbnails, lighting, editing and filming equipment. Something I wish I'd done. Best of luck.
Brilliant. Cheers
👍
Placed an order a month ago, paid for it, but have not received it yet.
If it's a small item like I feature in the video and you're in the UK, it should take 8 - 12 days on average. I know people in Australia say, have had to wait a month or so. If in the UK, double check your item isn't under "restocking". They should have a date when this should happen. If you ordered a bigger boxed item - like a 3d printer - it is likely to have been sent by sea rather than air, so will take a month or so. 90% of what I've ordered has had some level of tracking. This at least will tell you when it's reached the destination country.
Danke!
Thank you very much Karsten F!🙏
You're doing God's work.
😂 Feels more like doing dogs works sometimes!
Haven’t found Banggood too cheap. Their customer service on the other hand is woeful. I don’t I will buy anything else from them. Plenty of other online sellers with better value.
Banggood pricing fluctuates. They offer deals periodically where they can compete with the cheapest suppliers. You just have to wait. I went with banggood purely because they have by far the fastest shipping (8 - 10 days to the UK). Wish, Aliexpress and the anonymous sellers in China on eBay and Amazon take over a month to deliver the same items in my experience. Buying on eBay using PayPal or from Amazon, you are a little better protected with regards refunds/returns but Wish and Aliexpress are no better than banggood in that respect. Buying something from the other side of the world always carries a risk. That's why I do these reviews. Hopefully helping people to make better choices. I'm reviewing the tools in my videos, not Banggood. So my reviews of the tools applies where ever you decide to buy from.
Most stolen ideas and products from other companies. It's EASY to copy and sell cheaper when the initial investment was NOT yours. It's hard to innovate, create, develop, test, tool up and produce the first ones! Try bringing an original product to market and you will quickly see what it takes to innovate vs. just copy!
Steve, as someone who's developed and brought 3 products to market - 2 of which can be found on my channel - let me just say that, for simple machined tools/accessories at least, by far the hardest part is finding the capital to realise the design. Most tools/accessories are tweaks or amalgamations on what's come before. It's what we humans are good at. Building on knowledge. With regards these Banggood products, I make no bones in my reviews when somethings a blatant copy. People can make their own choice as to whether to seek the OEM or not. In these reviews, my aim is to help sort the wheat from the chaff for those who might not be able to afford the OEM products - from Woodpeckers, Bridge City or Festool say - and maybe make better choices if they decide to purchase tools/accessories from China.
Assuming the "dual marking guage" is the one I think it is, the link no longer works.
Try putting this in a banggood url with the dot-html after it.
Stainless-Steel-Woodworking-Marking-Gauge-European-Double-Head-Mortise-Gauge-Scriber-Ruler-p-1984609
Thanks for the heads up Nick. I've changed the dual marking gauge link now. My version seems obsolete now but essentially, the same as the one via your title (the one I now link to). Looks like the newer version has more chamfered edges on the stock than the rounded on mine.
Danke!
Thank you very much Grobi Farnsworth! 👍
