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
can't wait until Friday thank you for your honesty and great reviews
Excellent. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks Dennis!
Hi Dennis! Great to see yet another coverage of woodworking tools. Many thanks for your comprehensive way of reviewing them!
Thanks Dennis, looking forward to part 2.
Fantastic reviews, Dennis! Thanks a lot! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks again Dennis! This is great information. I have to get myself a t-ruler and you're helping me make that decision. Thanks again!
Thank you Dennis. Best tool reviews on CZcams. 👍
It is an excellent summary of your reviews. Very helpful. Thanks!
Hi Dennis thanks for your impartial and very transparent productbdescritions.
Fantastic Series!
As always this is a very good reviews that are honest and to the point. Thank you kind Sir.
Dennis! You are absolutely a true genuine guy. I really appreciate your channel and your reviews. You have the best reviews. Thanks and please continue doing your thing my friend. Best wishes and God bless you and your family.
There is a excellent lesson here on how to provide a simple straight to the point product guide/review .
Great video as usual. These are so useful and have helped me make worth while purchases. Thanks!
As usual well presented, thak you, I have purchased several tools from your recommendations and they are excellent, thanks again
thanks for doing all of these. I have saved money already and assume i will continue to do so.
Great China Tool series. I've purchased the Drillpro Bass Handle miter guage. VERY happy with it. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!
Great channel, helps a lot to prevent buying rubbish 😄 Many thanks, good day
Excellent video and reviews, very informative. Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks again for the reviews! Always educational
I totally agree with Steven Cleveland - This is a great channel also your web site 👍
Bedankt voor weer een super video. Wel lang wachten tot vrijdag 😄
This is the first channel I feel blessed to find. I use homesteading and building channels to learn and I’m used to that BUT this channel has opened my eyes and become a blessing so that I can get past bias and just look for the best tools made anywhere in the world. I use Knipex and believe in German hand tools, I use Stabila for my levels so it’s not new to me but I felt Woodpeckers and Harvey were the only game in town when it comes to the perfect piece for me. Now I have options I can feel good about and they save me money. Than you sir for your channel!
It is refreshing to find a product review that is as brutally precise as yours is. Most reviews are moderate to in favour of the product but you have shown here that not only do you value your reviews you are willing to change your reviews due to viewer comments, and I find that very compelling.
Thanks John. Like your comment. I am not always right. So I always value to comments of my viewers. Have a nice weekend😀
Another great review Dennis. If it passes your test it’s got to be good.
Some of the items that I have bought from America carry more import duty than the cost of buying similar products from Banggood.
Your reviews are spot on 👍🏻
Great Review Denis, you're getting good at these ;)
Love your videos have watched them all and value your reviews thanks
Great comparison
Dennis , The Best Woodworker .
Hi Dennis, the quality of your movies are at this moment really from a high quality and you have improved a lot. Thumbs up for that. I still like to watch all of these and I also adapted some of your ideas from your ultimate workbench, many thanks for that.
Please update some more movies about making flower box or a nice bird house are something else that people can make with your nice tools and workbench.
Regards,
Dennis
Liked and looking forward to the next one
Bedankt voor de reviews dennis, dankzij u heb ik wat betere tools kunnen kopen en mijn projecten preciezer kunnen maken.
This is a great channel! You definitely deserve more subscribers. Any chance there will be a review of Hongdui's table saw guide rollers in the near future?
Thanks for the video
Thank you for another video! I appreciate that you included the simple ruler in part 2.
Future video on pushblocks / pushsticks would be great! Alternatives for the Grr-ripper, grabber, etc..

Hallo Denis, Danke für deine Empfehlungen.
Great channel thanks from California USA
Thanks. Very informative and great choice of tools for review. General woodworking. I, too, buy some of the China tools. Some are junk. These, here, are nice.
Thank you.
Thanks for the great videos. I am just starting my woodworking hobby & on a budget. I was quite wary of Banggood as I have had some questionable electronic goods in the past. Regardless after watching your very helpful video l purchased the 600mm t-rule. I am very impressed by the quality & accuracy. Definitely recommend. Thanks again.
Another nice video, keep it up.
Great Info Thanks
Well done and thanks again Dennis. I don’t buy anything on Banggood without your prior recommendation.
Awesome video
again a nice review
im loving this video very much. But: im addicted tot woodpeckers hihihi
This is a general reply to multiple videos. Dennis, I greatly appreciate your videos. They are well done, easy to follow, and extremely helpful. I am now able to purchase fantastic tools that I can depend on without the guilt of buying overpriced tools meant for the semi-professional to professional woodworker. The tools I have bought have already proven themselves as fantastic additions to my toolbox!
Thanks Joshua, have a nice weekend😀👍
I have just bought the 600 mm “Woodpecker” style T square. I have just assembled it (it comes with the “blade and stock” separate) and it is perfectly straight and square. I checked for straight with good quality straight edge and for square with my Benchdogs precision triangle. I don’t know yet how durable it will be but for the price (£23 plus shipping), I think it is incredible value.
sankyü for your vid's
Thanks Dennis can you tell me a little about your apron I’m curious where did you get it
Thanks again for a great video 🇨🇦
Perfect
This series is incredibly helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put these together.
It appears that Banggood's measurements are in metric. Do you know if they offer imperial? I was not able to see this option on their website.
I agree that any tool that can not serve its basic function should automatically be a non recommendation. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks dennis, good review. Btw, there is a typo in your scoring cards. Descirption
Thanks. Will change it in the next episode 👍
Nice video Dennis! Btw where the cm system is called metric, the other system with inches and feet is called imperial.
Thanks, Because I do not use that word, I was a little bit insecure about how to call it.
I order 2 veiko t-rulers (imperia), some of those drillpro corner clamps, and a veiko sharpening jig after watching another video of yours last night. I had no idea some Chinese tools could be really good. Fingers crossed.
They normally deliver! Have fun with them👍
@@HookedonWood I'll keep you posted. I was lucky I could get the t-squares (veiko 16" & 30") in imperial measurements.
Hi Dennis, I wanted to share that Woodpeckers has redesigned the metric version of their Pocket T-Square. The new version maintains the same edge scales but now has scribing holes in rows of 5 instead of the old rows of 4 (which I suspect was just a metric-ized version of the original inch layout). The new 5-hole rows are marked 1-5mm, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, etc. so every other row ends on a full centimeter. Their Saddle T-Square has a wider blade so it has space for rows of 10 scribing holes on the metric version, but with the narrower blade on the Pocket T-Square rows of 5 holes makes sense. You can see the new layout in the Deep Dive video posted on CZcams today (Dec 10, 2021). I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I did send Woodpeckers this new layout as a suggestion a couple months ago. It’s nice to see they listen to their customers and enhance their products accordingly. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Hi Walter, that is a good thing. Thanks for sharing
The ruler you talk about at 14 min is for marking scribe lines on metal and is intended to be used with a sharp scriber, not a with a pencil.
Hi
I ordered the Drillpro 600mm.
Workmanship is great, it needs a comparison to Woodpeckers
Don't be afraid to buy woodpeckers at only 30% off the price.
Greetings from Germany.
I hope the translation is understandable
Hi Dennis, I always watch your videos, very good! No imperial measurements?
Oh ok I see the TS series is imperial.
But I agree, there is less for you guys. Luckily I use metric. Sorry
I want a cup like yours :)
me to !
Hi again and thanks again tol Dennis,
Have you had a chance of trying the dust collector cyclone from Bangood?
Again thanks for the great reviews!
Well, the good news is, that I have it, but I did not test it. But perhaps I will do that some day. thanks for the suggestion
@@HookedonWood I mostly wonder if you had any trouble or difficulties fitting 2½ shop vac hoses to it and into your tools. Thanks for the reply
Great reviews. I bought the last ruler you reviewed a while ago before seeing this and agree with you that it's not that good. Only 5 cm have the numbers clearly engraved so I find it to hard to read the measurements
Great video. Do you know if Bang good plans to release the larger t rule in imperial measurements?
No, idea. I will ask and let you know.
Nice review. Thanks.
Can the small Woodpecker style T-ruler be adjusted via the two bolts if it is not square?
The Veiko alternative had a bit more play to adjust. But it is limited. But, I have several of these and I can all get them perfect if they are not.

You Kidding! Funny!
Hi there, I purchased a 160mm red T square and I use a 0.5 mechanical pencil. There is a little variation because of the hole sizes. I will purchase a 0.9mm mechanical pencil which may be a lot better
Hi Christopher, I will explain how to use a 0.5mm pencil in my next video. That I will release this Friday. Thanks for your question.
Hi there, I received the 0.9mm mechanical pencil and its a massive improvement , I would say a score of 9.5/10
Excelent video, I already got the t-60 but now I have a ridiculous issue, can not find a suitable pencil or pen to fit in the tiny holes. Would you mind to suggest me the brand you are using, I am certainly turning crazy looking for the right one. many thanks in advance, your advices are definitely of much help for us beginners. best regards
What "brand " is your APRON ?
I just had a banggood t rule delivered. 400mm iirc. Unfortunately it isn't square on one side of the rule which is kinda odd. Been staring at it wondering how it can be square on one side and not on the other.
Really like your video but i wonder if you did check the angle and check if the measurements are true
Yes of course, but I had to choose what I would show because of the limited time I could spend on each product. Good you asked
Fery vine fideo. Different fersions of rrulers refiewed, eefen wid scribing wid a bencil, itsch is druly vine.
Dank you for drying out all de different rrulers so I don't ave do.
As you say, some are also useful for odder prodjekts. 🙃
Hello Dennis, My workshop is very damp so all metal items rust very quickly. I have bought all tools in aluminium alloy. I could use a straight ruler ( NOT a T square) in this material. Any suggestions?
Just got my woodpeckers T style 600mm ruler from bangood. It s really well made , but its totally out of square ! Isolved it putting a 0.5 mm thick bar on one side. I will look later for a machinist to solve it since there’s no room at all for adjustment . Beside that I do recommend doing business with bangood. Thanks Denis
Hi Marcio, sorry to read that. Do you have a link of that T-ruler or was it one from my links? I know there are a few that look the same but are slightly different.
@@HookedonWood It was the same drillpro product , not form your link. I 'm working that with them.
Besides that, I really liked it! With my "little arrangement"getting it square , it's working perfectly even the hole marks are dead precise. Thanks Dennis I'm loving to deal with them. Will try to use your links next time!
@@HookedonWood that's the link I used
www.banggood.com/Drillpro-300-or-400-or-500-or-600mm-Woodworking-Line-Scriber-T-type-Ruler-1mm-Hole-Crossed-Ruler-Aluminum-Alloy-Marking-Gauge-p-1772764.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN&ID=49053
Hi and Thanks
Based on your experience can you please make a recommendation for a beginner, which 3 basic rulers to purchase ignoring the price
Also interested in this 👍
thanks for your suggestions. I will think about it. maybe I come back on your suggestions next Friday.
Just thought I would share my experience with the long t-ruler. After watching this video, I purchased the 600mm version for around $50AUD. Unfortunately, the ruler was simply not square. There was around 6mm error over the 600mm length. I contacted the seller on Banggood and asked for a replacement, and they agreed after a few days of resistance (they tried to say that the square looked usable). The replacement ruler has just arrived and unfortunately has the exact same issue. It seems that they have some quality control issues. The square isn't usable if it is this inaccurate. I will try to contact Banggood and ask for yet another replacement, but I fear the result will just be the same. I hope others aren't having this same issue.
That is not funny! Was it one from my link? I know there is a model that looks almost the same but is slightly different. (Not that that one should be accurate also). But it is hard for me to understand why one is good en the next not. They do not build it with their hands. A modern cnc runs consistently i assume? Glad to hear they replace it but very disappointing that did not help. But 6mm is quite a bit. Thanks for letting us know.
@@HookedonWood it was the one from your link, yes. I made a quick video to send to Banggood to show the issue: czcams.com/video/vVlRWo9agw8/video.html. Like you, I am confused how it can be so inaccurate. The issue seems to be with the base t-pieces - perhaps some movement of the workpiece occurring between different machining operations? I am hoping the third ruler is better, if they agree to send one. I will update here either way.
Quick update - the replacement item arrived and it had the exact same issue. The machined channel in the t piece is not parallel to the reference face, so the whole thing goes together crooked. I contacted banggood and gave them the option of sending another replacement (if they could confirm it won't have the same issue) or issuing a refund. They chose to give a refund. Now I'm left without a good t ruler!
I got one this week that looks similar. It is from veiko. That is a new brand. Will review it soon. Are in different sizes up to 760mm which is quite big. I did not decide yet what one I prefer. But in the end I think they are all the same. From my short view it is accurate. It is a red T ruler wit black handle from Veiko.
I got the bendy one incra style in 400mm and I love it, I use it for architectural drawing and find it to be much better than T ruler designed for that. Pencil holes eliminate several steps where squares are usually needed so that is good. Annoying thing about it is the fact that it doesnt have smooth edge, can not draw smooth line with it but most lines are drawn using holes anyway so not a big problem.
I got a lot of banggood stuff so far and I like everything so far, everything I got is useful and of good quality, however problem for me is packaging. I also got another incra style ruler, 90° stainless steel 180mm with holes, that came destroyed. It was only packed in its original plastic packaging and banggood bag. Not a chance soft bendy ruler can survive international shipping and national vans packed like that, both sides are creased and 90° edge bent in several places and can not be straightened back into shape. I can not understand somebody just throws that into bag knowing where it is going and what the transport is like.
I agree on the packaging. In most videos I include the packaging and because of that I can say, that Banggood recently contacted me, how I thought about their packaging and on what fields they could approve themselves.
So, I hope they will become better and better on a lot of points.
hi dennis love your reviews i purchased a few things on banggood very impressed . only thing i cant find is the big t rule in 600mm what make is it please reply thankyou
look at my site: hookedonwood.online/China-Tools-Ranking/
@@HookedonWood hiya i found it now thankyou very much love the reviews and your honest opinions as there is a lot of rubbish out there
Good Afternoon Dennis
5 weeks ago I asked if you or anyone had any up to date experience of tool deliveries to the U.K.
Not much could be confirmed then - but I ordered 3 items anyway. Engineer square + 300mm Incra style rule + 600mm 'T' rule.
I received the square and the Incra style within one week and I'm happy enough with them.
However, I'm still waiting for delivery of the large 'T' rule. Expected date for shipping is continuously set back and presently stated as 02 April .. So if that works it will be 8 weeks delivery ... However, I am not at all confident the rule will ever be delivered.
I'm not much bothered to wait longer before asking for refund as I'd really like to have the rule but still, sadly, I don't think I'll be purchasing anything else anytime soon.
Love your channel> :)
Hi Nick, I know the feeling. I bought 2 products in December and finally got them 2 weeks ago. I thought also that they would never arrive. And then all of a sudden they came. Hope you will get it soon because it is a very nice tool
@@HookedonWood Received the 600mm T rule today. So, that was 17 Feb to 21 April. Very happy though and glad I waited. A good solid rule I should have had years ago.
Excellent.
I love German pride in accuracy!!!
For your information, regarding the Big "woodpeckers style" T-ruler. Metric version: also the big version (600 mm) has a very low price at the moment (around 36 EUR, 05.02.2021). Maybe somebody wants to know that. ;)
Edit: and a big thanks to you, Dennis, for the great review! :)
Not anymore. It went up
@@DaddyGoFast Oh, this is unfortunate. I bought one for the mentioned price an hour ago.
@@DaddyGoFast I checked, and the promotion sale (till feb 20th) still is on. Maybe it depends on the region?
Try reload page!
What's the best pen to use with the T-ruler? I got a quality 0.9mm lead pencil and the it keeps on breaking on every line.
Perhaps try a softer pencil like HB. When you use H, you have to push too hard to see a line. I use a 0.5 and 1mm pencil. On wood with more structure I use the 1mm with a HB pencil
Dennis I hate you when you drop one of the videos and I see another square I just have to have :)
BTW, what is that Veritas bar that you're using to check square?
Lee Valley Tools sells the veritas.
@@troyqueen9503 I know but what is it exactly?
The TS-3A could have all the holes 1mm nearer the end. So the first row is 0 - 4mm then 5 - 9mm & so on 10 - 14mm etc thereby having the top scale at 0, 10, 15, instead of 1, 11, 14. Of course the first row could omit the zero hole leaving 4 holes if preferred. There seems to be room for the 5's to be printed on the same scale giving 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 etc.
Yes, I agree. And I can not think of a reason why to do it not that way.
Are these metric only?
At 2:10 is that a pen you're using with the incra style ruler? I've been looking for a pen to use with mine as I'm fed up of breaking my mechanical pencil led. I think it's my shakey hands!
That is a pencil from INCRA. Best off luck!
Thanks, I'll keep looking for the perfect pencil!
I like and want a Inca style ruler but not in metric
Is their a chinese equivalent of the veritas reference straight edge.
I am not familiar of it. Sorry
I'm done with Bangood. The first order took 1 month to be shipped from Canada, and the second order is slated to arrive two months after the order was placed. Saving money is okay if the shipping time is reasonable. Two months tells me it's being shipped directly from China. The shipment claim was that it was being shipped from Canada.
Bangood and Ali Express are 100% shipped from China. That's why they are 50% the cost of the exact same item on Amazon. They are also shipped by mail, to keep postage down. Finally, because of the postage arrangements (i.e. the originating country collects the $, destination just delivers), these packages get low priority at sorting / delivery in the destination country. Never use it if you're in a rush. Great for those "I don't really need it now" items where you get a pleasant surprise 30-60 days (or more!) later when it shows up.
I bought this long T-ruler from the FNICEL store on Aliexpress, the 60cm version. I've just received it a couple of days ago and it's garbage: it's off by about 0.5mm, and the holes look like they were drilled manually, they aren't even in straight rows. So, there are lots of clones (and clones of clones) and you have to be extra careful where you buy from. Or just buy more and throw out the garbage tools…
I know I will be avoiding the Fnicel store after this experience.
To bad, I am sure you will like this one!
Bought mine at the same store but its spot on, from 0 up to 300mm, comparing my 300mm T-ruler from incra
These china stores use to be really good. Now it seems that when you order stuff it takes months to get it. That is if you get it at all. Banggoods has been giving me tracking numbers that will not track and delivery dates that change every time I check for arrival time.
Jan, I experienced the same things with this Aliexpress store ('FNICEL Official Store'). The price was a little under 25 Euros inliding shipment. They advertised the same 600mm T-Ruler shown on Banggod (Link from Hooked On Wood) with some pictures of a well machined T-Ruler but they sent me a poorly machined version that has some labels printed on it. The holes look like they were drilled by hand and they are not alligned properly and differ in spacing. I also experienced a shifting runoff of up to 0,5mm. The upper metric scale of the ruler seems to be accurate although it has an offset of about 0,5mm. So I can/will only use this T-Ruler without the 'T' as a stright ruler.
Very bad quality from a 'black sheep' seller. I opened a dispute on Aliexpress after I realized that I have beend cheated. If Aliexpress is not going to help me with that, I will start a sales complaint with my Credit Card company. I can only recommend to all byuers who have been cheated by Aliexpress sellers that they open a dispute on Aliexpress or talk to their Credit Card companies to get their money back. Don't let them get away with that!
Hoi Dennis, als eerste complimenten voor je CZcams kanaal erg leuk. Zelf ben ik ook groot inkoper van dit soort tools. Vraag me af wat voor potlood je gebruikt voor het kleine blokje. Bij mij breekt elke keer de punt af als ik een lijntje trek. Alvast dank voor je reactie
Deze is van Incra. Maar ook daat breekt het potlootje regelmatig. Daarom is het ook wel fijn als je ook 1mm potloden kan gebruiken
Ouch!
In two video's you refer to 'video 1' where you discuss the kerf maker? In video 2, you link to it, but it is 404 - bad link?
Where is that video please?
The link in episode 2 works now. Sorry.
think incra rulers should get same score as the slide rulers, and for the same reason. if you loosen the two thumbscrews on the incra ruler, you can move the cross bar a good bit out of perpendicular and tighten it up again. the cross bar should be permanently fixed getting rid of that play, and that would make it a precision ruler. had one of these rulers and used it once or twice before binning it. woodpecker style with fixed end much better
one little niggle with an otherwise great video - can you put the product name at the top of the score card, or the links in the description in the same order as in the video? makes it a little bit easier to find the correct link for the product you are looking at. otherwise, excellent reviews
Hi Dennis, please review the following two products: "Drillpro Aluminum Alloy 35mm Hinge Jig with Clamp Forsnter Drill Bit Drilling Guide Hole Punch Locator Kit Woodworking Cabinet Door Installation Hole Locator" and "35MM Cup Hinge Punch Jig with Forstner Drill Bit Hole Drill Guide Wood Cutter Carpenter Woodworking Tool." Pretty please!
Hi John, Watch Episode 16! Ad your service 😃czcams.com/video/UW90uzZXFII/video.html
Hi there, i ordered some items awaiting for them BUT I did receive those corner clamps - Very disappointed though. As soon as they arrived I thought "OHHHH NOOOO!" they arrived in really bad flimsy bags - 4 of them , one has a slight gash on the underside and when I put them together, at least one is out compared to the rest. Did yours arrive the same? I have written to them about the bad packaging with images. I cannot believe how bad of a packaging was used. I order a couple of items last month of the similar type and they arrived perfect in good boxes etc.
Hi Christopher, sorry to hear that.
I got my in very nice boxes. Did you buy it from the link in my description or from another vendor. Because if you use my link, that would mean that they changed the packaging meanwhile! In this case that would be a shame because these corner clamps where packed very well.
@@HookedonWood I did try it but a message of not available, could you possibly send it to me here again, maybe there were some tech issue with the link? I will order from your link. ps I sent another pic to them but are being a nighmare- they just want to make life difficult so they do not have to refund
Hi Dennis, i want to add to my previous comment thats it's strange that we can't write that the same product for the 600mm t rule is Euro 10,- cheaper at the other Chinese company site. My comment is deleted a number of times, thought this is CZcams without censorship?
Regards,
Dennis
Hi, Yes, I saw your comment number of times in my mailbox, but I could not find it here. I did do nothing, so I do not know why it is not written here.
That said. I see the T-rulers you mention on Alle at the same price on this moment, and I see also items that are more expansive then on Banggood. So, it is possible that a product is sometimes more affordable on one site and another time on the other. Prices changes constant on these sites during sales.
I like Banggood because I experience faster shipping time, I like their site more and on this moment they sent me products for testing. So, I can make these videos. If you buy on Alie because you find it a bit cheaper, well do it.
Like so many here I'd like to say that your channel is wonderful !
Meantime .. I'm in the U.K. and of course here we are in amongst the Brexit disaster.
I have to ask you about the Banggood tools you are promoting -- can you or can anyone here give an update on how Banggood are performing with importing items to the U.K. - whether from Europe or China.
I've just ordered a rule and a square, I'd like to order more but there are many many many strongly adverse online reports about Banggood after Brexit.
Does anyone know the truth?
Goods not delivered? or excessive customs charges?
Hi Nick,
Sorry I can not give you any information on this. I know there are some changes in shipping costs because of COVID but this is not in every country the case. What Brexit means for importing tariffs I do not know. I hope someone will answer your question from experience.
@@HookedonWood Many thanks indeed. I've just gone ahead and placed orders. Have to wait a while now and see how this turns out. Fingers crossed.
Thank you so much Dennis.. :)
Like the t rulers, but they don't have US Imperial (inches) Huge US market they're missing out on.
One thing to mention to all US citizens. Use PayPal to pay. My bank shut my debit card down when I tried to pay Banggood directly. They thought it was fraud because I was trying to pay a business in China. Just FYI. I don't know if all US banks do this but, it would be prudent just to pay through PayPal.
I love watching these reviews, but I'm stuck using inches making most options not as useful. Nothing like a measurement system based on your thumb. Ugh...
