    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.

All of your reviews seem to genuinely be honest and not market driven. Your delivery /video editing etc is Hollywood class. Just a perfect informative woodworking site.

I have a bad habit that I want to improve myself every time and sometimes that is a bit annoying and time consuming.

  • @SilverFox-1212
    @SilverFox-1212 Před 3 lety

    Dennis, nice looking cabinet. I would add felt to the top of the shelves only because I’ve lived in high humidity climates (Alaska rain forest and Texas). The felt eliminates rust on the soles of my hand planes. I also built an msg cover for my table saw and drill press and glues felt on the bottom of the cover between the cover. This protects and eliminates having to wax my tabletop as often. On the table saw the cover doubles as a layout/glue up table.

    hi hooked on wood , great reviews. i purchase the new yomo pocket hole jig which has a toggle clamp .but alas i dont think the people at yomo have thought it out, as the throw of the clamp is 25mm, the rubber end is 12mm, and you have a possible adjustment via screw thread of 12mm ..so the clamp will only clamp from 0-19mm of timber, making the jig near useless .unless you buy another clamping mechanism, and mount to a board as you have .just a warning to everyone if you want the full range of clamping of the yomo clamp you reviewed with the thumb screw clamping mechanism is the better one allowing you full range 0-50mm and in my mind the better option

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety

      Good that you mention that. I find the clamping of the Yomo OK, but the end Is too clumsy. I do not think a toggle clamp is a right clamp on such a device. But as you say, if it only goes from 0-19mm there is some lack of thinking. The problem I have with the clamp is, that it can damage the wood. But you can fix that by putting a wooden end on it. Or something else.

    What about fitting the hinge plates? It's a different position for inset doors than for overlay doors. This is just for the main pocket which you could do with your drill press and a bit of wood used as a fence. It would also mak the process much, much quicker.

Also it has steel L shaped bracing on each side so when you clamp there is absolutely no deflection as in your orange one and the kreg. Thank you for all your hard work during the year, i really like your new display cabinet. Please have a great Christmas and a very happy new year.

      I do not know, I would not recommend this product. I think they cut to many corners. I used the drill bit today of the orange pocket hole jig and that was also not nice balanced and I do not like that they put so thin bushings in it.
      Then I would look to other pocket hole jigs.

    @damiancarvolth5198 Před 2 lety

    Thank you for this. I have a kreg R3 I've had for years. It's not fine woodworking but when I need to assemble something temporarily or build a quick jig...I was thinking of getting one of these to try, with the integral clamp for building a big laminating table (boat building). I was wondering if my kreg screws would fit in the smaller holes. The square drive screws work much better than phillips etc and if you shop around you can get them cheap, typically about 5-6c each in australia for 1" for example.

    Anytime I see a metal screw clamp like the one on the hinge jig I get worried about it making a mark on the face side of the door. I would highly recommend some kind of sacrificial wood to avoid marring the piece

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety

      I agree!, that you can clamp it by screwing it is what i like. But it feels not to good. So, perhaps you are right with a sacrificial piece

    My question though is about your black MDF. it seems different than the MDF I am accustomed to here in the USA. It appears to mill differently and looks like it is more sturdy. It sure is beautiful though. Have you done a review on it?
    Of course as soon as I wrote this I went to your website and found the answer to the MDF question.

    KregJig also lets you drill the mounting screw pilot holes with the same setup. Big pain to have to try and align the hinge and mark the holes again. That would drop the score to at least a (3) for me.

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety +1

      That is OK, Kreg needs extra clamps to attached them. So it cost a lot more if you do not have clamps. But it is difficult to give score to everything. Important is, that I can show it in a way, you can see it it is something worth buying.

    The Kreg pockethole screws also exist with a Torx head, although they're not made by Kreg.
    Torx being more standard and stronger than the (square) Robertson's screw heads I would recommend Torx.
    Warning: the pockethole screws sold by Axminster have a larger head diameter and don't fit in the holes made with the Kreg jig.

    Thorough review (and I agree on that clamp.... kinda ruins the look of the pocket-hole jig - though it might clamp properly).
    Just for reference: what jig would you recommend for 'professional' pocket-holing? (as you mentioned that the Kreg one wears out similarly, after about 100 holes (yet, is plastic, not aluminium))?
    Are you going to do a video on the new tools-cabinet? It looks very solid and smooth - great job! (what is black MDF - they now offer colored MDF?). Wishing you a nice holiday!

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Ibu,
      Good you point that out. No, the kreg I have for 4 years or so and that does not really wear out, but has this bit of play. I think they all do have a bit of play and think 1-1,5mm is acceptabel for most users. The pocket hole jig I tested had this same play but it stabilized. Of course I do not know for the long term, but I think the bushings are pretty good. If you compare it with the smaller Kreg systems, they have also only the bushing and than it is plastic. The K4 and 5 have fully hardened steel support for the drill bit.
      Kreg has an industrial line from which I think is for the professional market. The Kreg Foreman is something I look for at the moment. Not that I use it, that much, but it is very handy and I think I can integrate it in a nice and practical way in one of my benches and than it is easy to work with with bigger panels.
      If I make another Tool cabinet, I will make a video about it.
      The Black MDF is indeed Full colored mdf.
      Thanks for your comment, Dennis

      Hi Richard, I have it from Banggood. www.banggood.com/custlink/K33RW0lQee
      I would advice the one with the plastic knob. That is easier. I am very happy with it, but I have my second one on this moment. The last one took about 8/9 months. I do not think they will last a lifetime, but I prefer them definitely over an ordinary center punch. It works quicker and easier.

    Beste Hooked on wood,

    Ik heb een vraag welke woodpeckers winkelhaak gebruik jij in deze video is het de 15 cm en de 45 cm versie of is het de 30’cm versie.
    Is het de moeite waard om de 45cm versie in de shop te hebben want ik heb een 15 cm versie gekocht en ben er super blij mee.
    Dank u voor de geweldige video’s

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety

      Hoi, Bedankt voor je suggestie. Ik heb de 15 en 45 van woodeckers. Of ze de moeite waard zijn vind ik een lastige. Het zijn beide heel erg mooi afgewerkte en hoogwaardige winkel haken. Veel te mooi afgewerkt. Maar dat vind ik ook weer aantrekkelijk.
      Ik gebruik de 45 alleen als winkelhaak. Het is mijn referentie als iets haaks moet zijn. Maar dat is het enige waar ik hem voor gebruik. Om iets af te tekenen vind ik het niet geschikt. Dan gebruik ik mijn T-ruler van 60 cm. (Die is van Banggood)
      De 15 cm gebruik ik iets vaker, maar daar heb je veel meer alternatieven voor die een stuk voordeliger zijn. Bij de 45 is dat anders.
      Dus ze worden relatief weinig gebruikt, zijn veel te duur, maar iedere keer als ik ze mag gebruiken word ik er wel blij van.

    Hi Dennis, just loving your videos and reviews, I have only just discovered your channel having retired recently (Oct 2020) at the age of 61 and with lots more time on my hands. Having been a fanatical all round DIY'er for over 40 years I have struggled with cheap tools and little time, fitting things in around a full time job, three children and little spare cash. Now having a lot more time and slightly more disposable cash I hope to build my ultimate workshop inspired by yours, your reviews and projects.
    I was about to purchase the Drillpro Pocket Hole Jig, as it was only half the price of the UJK POCKET HOLE JIG from Axminster Tools but I realise now that its probably going to give me issues in a fairly short period of time so cost me more in the long run.
    Have you had any experience of the UJK POCKET HOLE JIG ??
