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.

Love your attention to detail, honesty and thoroughness in all your videos Dennis. Keep em coming
Thank you Dennis, your videos are always very instructive and pleasant to watch
Doing this series on Chinese tools was an inspired idea, Dennis, and I've really enjoyed watching them.
I'm part way through a house refurbishment and have a kitchen and wardrobes to build soon, so this jig would be extremely useful!
Just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching starting with the China tools episodes. Love your workmanship on your table and the base for this pockethole jig. Would be a great addition to anyone’s shop.
Hey Dennis! I think it's great what you're doing here, not just this generous giveaway but your helpful & insightful reviews on the many tools we've all looked at and been contemplating whether to buy or not. You've probably saved thousands of dollars for a lot of us. Thanks again!
I'd love to have that jig not just for the obvious reasons of it's functionality and usefulness but mostly because it's a one of one item designed and built directly by you! Thanks in advance if am lucky enough to be selected as the winner. And if not, good luck & congrats to whoever the winner is -
Thanks Dennis!
I have used various jigs and this seems like it’s a great quality jig. I also like your in depth reviews of tools. Watched 21 so far!
Love your channel for reviewing not only the expensive stuff! The base you built arround the jig is even more interesting to me than the jig itself. Well done, mate! :)
Your reviews are the best! Thank you!
Good to see a good review on goods like this. Thanks!
Very well done videos, and they’re really useful for so many people. Thanks!
I've half a house to renovate and have lots of built-in cabinets to build - I would love that jig. Great review and great channel.
I am about to renovate my garage and I can see a lot of applications for this jig. Keep up the good work Dennis!
I've just become a fan of your channel in the last 6 months or so. I really appreciate what you do to show that not all of these type tools are cheap. You've shown that you can find good quality tools for less expensive prices. Thanks for what you do!
Another great and very informative episode Dennis! deep diving into checking tolerances and pressure of the clamp etc, makes your reviews stand out from the rest. Super attention to detail. Keep up the great work!
I started making some home accessories from wood for quite some time, such a amazing jig would be the perfect addition to my tool collection.
Have not seen a better jig... thanks for your awesome vids. 👍🤞🏻
My woodworking hero has done it again... Your videos are my inspiration on starting up woodworking and in the process of making my own shop. My girlfriend has been forced to see your videos, even though she has no interest in woodworking at all, but I can't stop showing your work and the quality, integrity and superb design on your videos. I really hope to win the jig, having a tool from the master in my future shop, would be beyond imagination...
I'm so happy I found your channel! I've been using Banggood for a few years to get parts for building FPV drones but I had no idea they had all of these great woodworking tools.
This jig looks like it works great and you made it even better with that base.
We're moving to a new home later this year and I would love to add this to my new workshop space where I plan to learn how to build some furniture and useful items for our new home.
I really enjoyed this video Dennis.
It's amazing to see you grow and the growing quality of your video's
You love your craft and put it on the highest level... Thanks for being such an inspiration. BTW, that jig has found its home.
I was just looking over this the other day and think it would be a great addition to my new garage woodshop.
Great work, Dennis. I love your attention to detail and precision. So inspiring. You’re one of my favorite woodworkers on the CZcamss!
Glad they took comments on usability and insert thickness into account and made a new one. Also nice that there are replaceable inserts! Nice review man
Thank you for your super videos, they are a big inspiration for me. Stay healthy
I've been going over all your videos and recommendations for pocket hole jigs as I am embarking on a cabinet making binge for a home remodel.
I absolutely love all your videos and I love that workbench as well. The black mdf looks so sharp!
Dennis, I have just recently found your channel, and I have already upped my game with many of your techniques. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. I could definitely use this tool in work I will be starting shortly for my daughters bedroom!
Been waiting ages for the next installment of "China Tools"! I would love this for my future wood working projects as I've been looking at getting one for a little while and it is such a lovely engineered tool!
I'm just getting started in woodworking and on a very tight budget. I really appreciate and enjoy your helpful videos on different tools.
Your pocket hole jig platform is really stylish ... and portable! Just what I need when moving from workshop to job site.
Thanks for explaining all of these tools really appreciate it.
Ik ben erg blij met China Tools serie. Er zijn zoveel dingen te koop dat je door het bomen het bos niet meer kan zien. Dankzij jou expertise, gepaste zorgvuldigheid en vooral ook eerlijkheid zorg je ervoor dat de beginnende woodworker op een betaalbare manier toch hele goede tools kan kopen. Keep on the good work!
As always full and informative video. Many thanks
Your channel is an excellent source of information about inexpensive quality tools! Keep it up 👍
I have found your honest reviews on these tools extremely useful. Just started to build my workshop and have stocked it from your reviews, fist purchase was of course the kerf maker! Would love to add this tool to my workshop
I've finally started fulfilling the dream of building out a wood shop and I have so much shop furniture to create. This tool would be fantastic as I was going to need something similar in the very near term anyway. Win or lose, I've really enjoyed a ton of the content you've made and have gotten a lot of inspiration from your ideas and tool choices. So thanks for the content and keep it up.
I found your channel by accident and have gone back and watched every episode. I cant wait for the next ones. You do an outstanding job and your attention to the details is awesome. This pocket hole jig would be when I build your workbench. Thanks and keep the excellent content coming.
Another great video Dennis. I've purchased several "China Tools" based on your videos. Keep making them.
Another great video. I've been looking for a pocket hole jig for a while. I would love this.
Love this video series. It just opens up the possibility of quality tools at a cheaper price point. Thanks Denis !!!
I would love to get this pocket hole Jig as I am new to the Woodworking world and just started using pocket holes. I would love to upgrade to this larger jig as my list of projects keeps getting bigger and bigger as my knowledge grows.
After watching all your China Tools videos, I truly value your opinion and I am positive you have saved me a LOT of money. I have also pointed several friends to your reviews and they too are very excited when a new video is released. Thanks so very much and please continue doing an outstanding job.
Really amazing. This Pockethole-Jig is exactly what I was searching for the build of a large bathroom cabinet.
I would love that jig. I've found pocket holes to be an extremely useful and under rated building technique. Thank you for your videos. I appreciate your skills and attention to detail.
I love the new plug-in for your video editing program, Dennis. The one that lets you call-out things. I noted it in your opening. Very nice.
You got me hooked on Banggood thank you. Keep it going, you are very informative. And that pocket jig looks pretty cool.
I have following you since your first China tools episode. I like the way you honestly review products so that I can make accurate choices when buying from banggood. I also love the way you devised your small workshop. Good job!
I love your attention for details, that is amazing. I love the way you cut t track at the same angle as the base. Your videos are very interesting and it is a pleasure to watch it.
I found your channel a couple of months back and I have found the China Tools reviews to be extremely helpful. There is a lot of junk or sub par kit out there and so anything rated highly by you is worth having. Thanks for taking the time to produce these very useful videos. I check here now before I buy anything to see what rating you have given it. Many Thanks.
Never owned a pocket hole jig but adding it to my toolset would definately improve things. Loved the good old fashioned pull test and when the clamp slipped i thought it had gone initially.
Pocket holes are a technique I always wanted to do, your jig would make doing it very practical and elegant. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Never thought I wanted a pocket hole jig till watching your review. Brilliant. Would love one 👍
Thank you 😊
I bought the XK2 because of your review. And its awesome. Thanks Dennis. Nice regards from Vietnam!!
I like the idea of the added strength of placing screws closer together which is sometimes needed.
I would love the pocket hole jig for my home project. Shelfs, boxes, drawers and stuff. Love the channel, and have seen every China woodworking tools episodes :-) Your honesty when testing the tools is very appreciative.
Great insight video for the usefulness of pocket-hole joinery. Having a useful piece of equipment along with your logo would be a great addition to my workshop.
This is a nice one. It's one of the tools I don't have, and I really want. This has become one of my favourite channels, as I'm a tool guy.
I have watched all your video's, very educational. I have ordered several of the item you reviewed. The jig would come in handy indeed in building my bookcase.
Hi Dennis
I enjoy watching your very detailed tool reviews and project videos, your presentation is always so very calm and well thought out. Thank you and keep up the great work.
The pocket hole jig mounted on your signature black MDF looks very handsome and as usual very well made.
I’m sure anyone would be very happy to add it to their workshop, I certainly would anyway, so good luck to everyone hoping to own it.
I love these Video Series. I have to build complete new cabinets for my private workshop, this would help a lot.
I was already reading myself into pocket holes and different jigs. Your giveaway would be a great and usefull addition for me, and hopefully my upcoming projects! Keep up the good work Dennis!
I just got the XK2 that I ordered after watching this video. Really nice product. Thanks for the review!
Just starting out in woodworking, and a pocket hole jig like that would be just perfect for making my workshop, I do think a lot of inspiration will come from you, cause I dig your style and perfection 🤩
Hi Dennis. Perfect video. I'm hooked on this JIG 😁
On your recommendation I purchased the grey pocket hole gig and I’ve just used it on a custom desk. Very happy with it so thanks for the hard work in testing.
Hey Dennis, Love the series! This has opened my eyes to all sorts of possibilities with tools from Banggood, I've already picked up the Corner Square clamps, the T-ruler and dowel jigs. Winning this would keep the from needing to buy another tool! I've got to say, that laser engraver looks very impressive, can't wait to see that video!
I recently found your channel with this video. I was intrigued and continued with some more. I find your reviews very well done. This pocket hole jig appears to be a well designed and well built product that would greatly improve my projects. Please keep reviewing products.
Your enthusiasm makes me want this tool. 😉
Dennis. You have been an inspiration for hobbyist and ppl getting started. Would love to win this as a way to feel proud that you have been an awesome mentor
always impressed with your reviews. keep doing them please. and that would be the coolest thing i think i've ever gotten in the mail should i be picked.
great series, love your channel! I was just researching some jigs (because I need one) when this popped up! Now I know what to pay attention to. keep up the good work!
I like to look at your channel as inspiration to create my own workplace. The Jig would be a nice addition.
Weer een grondige review waar je wat aan hebt. Dankjewel Dennis
Thanks for the nice review, always happy to see the notification going off from your channel!
This "wood" be a great addition to my shop and to have one of your projects to impress my shop visitors!!!!
Another great review, and a tool good enough for anyone's workshop!
Today I just watched the whole China Tools series in one go. You make some great reviews! Ordered a few tools from Aliexpress and Banggood before viewing your videos few weeks back, so I am happy that the quality of them is not actually bad at all. Looking forward to seeing your new videos! Best Regards from Prague!
I'm very new to woodworking and will be retiring from my working life in 3 years. I'm very impressed with your projects and the practical advice you provide. I would be over the moon to start my future hobby with your self made pocket hole jig. Regardless of my winning or not, I look forward to seeing your future videos.
That pocket hole jig looks nice, it would look nice in my hand and on my work table. You are doing a great service to the woodworking world. Thank you !
Hi Denis, this is the first video of yours that I have watched and I found it very informative. The jig that you have done looks great and it would be very useful in my new workshop that I am currently finishing. Thanks again and looking forward to going back and viewing your other videos, cheers!
Thank you for these reviews Dennis!! I am a new wood worker, slowly building my workshop. I have taken advantage of a number of the more affordable tool options from China as a result of your reviews. I would love to add this pocket hole jig to my toolbox!
Hiya Dennis this would make a great addition to my small workshop especially as I am planning great changes this year
Stay safe and keep up the great videos
Just starting on my wood working journey and i am starting to get some tools this would be a wonderful piece of kit to start off my woodworking adventures.
Thanks for this series. It is so helpful in the dschungle of tools. And this bar for the jig is so nice in shape and colour that i would be very happy to own it.
I would love the base because it’s beautifully made and I’ve always loved your black MDF!! 😂
Because I just start to work on wood, I like to get a good start. And your pocket hole platform will be a good addition on my starter kit! Greatings and keep up the good reviews!
Thanks for great content Dennis! A pocket hole jig would be a great addition to my small woodshop 😀
I’d love the new pocket hole jig and handmade platform as it would help with all the projects I have planned and been inspired to take on while following hooked on wood channel.
Dude, this is next level keep it up!
I like the ease of using pocket holes (within their limitations) and your testing shows how they can vary from model to model, both the advantages and disadvantages. It has made me realise I need a better jig than the one (unamed brand) I currently use. Your version would make a really good addition to my workshop.
I would love this because it looks so much faster to set up each hole unlike the mini jig I have now. Thanks for your videos. They're very detailed and helpful. I've made a couple purchases based on your recommendations.
This is just simply an awesome-looking platform for that pocket hole jig, I am a cabinet maker i watched a lot of your videos love your tool reviews, and that engraved logo just made that piece even better. Really wish I can get it.
Like always great explanations and presentation !
The colour scheme reminds of a Douglas Adams quote “It’s the wild colour scheme that freaks me,” said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, “Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you’ve done it. What is this? Some kind of galactic hyperhearse?”. Black is so cool and I would use it until the end of time.
As always, Fantastic job!! This tool would be a useful addition to my shop as I currently use a single hole clamp on jig!
Hi Dennis,
Brilliant review as ever love the tools from China series. As a new woodworker I find the amount of things out there just baffling but with your help and reviews I have genuinely started to get myself some quality tools without the expense.
I currently have a single clamp on pocket hole jig and would love to upgrade this so hopefully you will be sending your platform to sunny Scotland for me.
Keep up the good work
i would like this jig, to renovate and make new furniture. Keep up the good work with the channel!
Am going to follow your ultimate workbench plan so will need pocket hole jig!
Thanks for another excellent video Denis. It would be nice to see a sample of your work.
Heel erg geïnteresseerd in deze tool. Als beginnende woodworker is het altijd handig om nieuwe tools toe te kunnen voegen wat het werk toch een stuk makkelijker maakt.
Hello, I'm 71 living in California USA. I have a grandson (6 years ) who loves to play with my tools. But at that age there are only a few tools I would trust him to use. A pocket hole jig would be the perfect start for him learn joint making. It will be past on to him when I am gone (along with my other tools), not to mention I would love to have one. Great channel by the way. It's hard to find good tools at a reasonable price.
Would love one of these to speed up my drawer box game!
