It's nice to see something that isn't just a clone, ripping off someone else's research and design work. This actually adds and improves.

I absolutely love the premise of this series. Thank you for these.

thanks for all your efforts Dennis. I have bought a lot of tools with your recommendations on your channel, and none of your recommendations has ever let me down. I am on a self teach route. Your guidance means a lot to people like me. God bless your heart.

Great video as always Dennis. I like the shorter and more focused format, and look forward to the next episode

Yet another great video. Since getting my dowling jigs, I have made a 5mm drill holder from brass to slide into the 8mm bush. It is only half successful as the bushes are very hard and the brass soft. Now you have pointed out the 5mm bushs are available. The edge trimmer looks very interesting, it is like my old wood Radi-Plane made in California. The only thing with my old plane is that they have two blades in tandem, one behind the other. The first takes a ruff cut, the second a finished cut. What I like about the plane you reviewed is the cutter and cutter setting. Looks very good. Bedankt.

I was very curious to see your test for this after your insta-teaser. And I'm not dissapointed. Great video as usual. 👍🏻

I love that you find these things and bring attention to them. Also, thanks again for the closed captioning!

Your videos are among the most thorough and informative out there. I preordered the trimmer. I hope to visit Holland again some day. Such a beautiful place.

Thank you SO much for all the quality information from a new sub, that found this channel a few days ago, and I'm overall very impressed. (y) I'm a new woodworker, with a very limited budget, and knowing it can be expensive to buy cheap and useless tools, and high-end tools are out of my reach, I really, really appreciate all help to get good and affordable tools, and all the quality information you give us. (y) Greetings from Denmark (y)

Good to know abut the 5mm guides for shelving as it makes the jig very usable for small jobs. Thanks for finding out Denis and another informative and entertaining video

Hey Dennis. Another great review! I followed your recommendations for several products and have never been disappointed. I just ordered this plane and it looks to be another winner.

I had written off the dowelling jig because of the '8mm only' but now find it can do far more sizes than other jigs, even down to 4mm, so thanks for the update.

Awesome video! I been getting back into woodworking and this information will help me when developing my wood business.

Haha, I’m getting clever in my old age. I managed to get my wife to start watching you 😊 She says “we” have to get one of these. Thanks Dennis. I think this will be well used in my business 👍🏻

Love your reviews and have bought a few of the tools you highly recommend. Can’t wait for the next one need some great clamps.

As always Dennis has a great information when it comes to tools. Thank you kind Sir. I am going to look at this China tool and may buy it. It looks great.

As usual, an excellent review. Thanks Dennis!

Thank you Dennis for this great review! Also good that you gave information about the vat/duty issue here in europe. Cheers! Lukas

I am so glad that I found your channel! I was almost desperate to buy a Veritas chamfer guide for their low angle block plane, because it has been out of stock for a year. Apparently this video is a sign from above that it's time for me to take a closer look at Chinese instruments.

Super impressive! Thank you for the wonderful videos. Going to check out the rest of the tools offered. Be safe!

Another great video Dennis, As always very informative.👍❤

Beautiful little tool. Well thought out description and delivery of the video.

Excellent video my friend. Your channel has come a long way very quickly. I am impressed. Keep up the great work

Thanks for sharing this great information and review for the planer

Hi Dennis. Thanks for another excellent review. The doweling jig from your last review just arrived and the roundover plane is on its way. Looking back at 30 years being self employed as a cabinet maker its unbelievable with what kind of tools we had to make due. Those quality items were just out of reach at a budget. The only problem now is that we all overspend on really nice tools we might need once a year to play around with. I might have to start my own youtube channel now which will be called "Hooked on Dennis" offering help and support to people like myself spending way too much money on tools they might never need! Keep up the great work and we all can't wait for a video of your new shop!

This is great video, keep hard working! Thank you Dennis!

Nice video again Dennis. Looking forward to the next one. Sounds interesting.

Another great review, thanks again Dennis!!

Thanks Dennis. I am a relatively recent subscriber and I have come to enjoy your videos very much. Best wishes from Australia.

Thanks Dennis I was waiting for this

Thanks for the review and heads up on this one Dennis! I've wanted one of the woodpecker versions for a while but couldn't bring myself to pay the asking price. As you said, this one seems better designed at a fraction of the cost.

I love your reviews they are so in-depth

Hi Dennis. Just discovered your channel! What an absolute wealth of well presented fantastic content. Subscribed straight away. Keep up the excellent work… it’s gold! 👍🏼👍🏼

Nice to see the wood working equipment how it has changed over the years. 👍👍🥂

Great video as always it’s not a tool that I need but love watching your reviews

Just bought the planer on the strength of your review. Been looking for a decently priced, good planer like this for a long time. Decided to buy the scraper as well while I was at it.

i like your finds and reveiws i’m retired now but spent over 35 years working in the Commercial Woodworking Industry in the United States the Chinese as a whole over the years have really improved on their manufacturing and quality control

Thanks again for the great content. I truly look forward to finding out what you have reviewed. I have been considering one of these for quick jobs to avoid having to set up my router. As always you have given me great information to move forward.

Marvelous tool and terrific presentation. Thank you!

Thank you for the dowel jig update.

I have two edge planes from Woodpeckers and I quickly realised that for consistent depth on different pieces some kind of scale is necessary. I ended up making a mark on the dial and the plane. Now I'm able to do deeper chamfers. Still it seems like this black one is a better tool.

like usual, a very nice video and super advice.. thank you ! like usual stunnig job, keep it up

I love this series!

Thanks Dennis, A great video again, I'm sorry to say i do have the woodpeckers version of this plane and it does work great, but i like the way you can change out the different blades so easily compared to woodpeckers plane. my plane is much more intense to change from the round over to a chamfer blade and with yours you don't need to you have the best of both worlds in one! the new lock system and the depth scale adjustment is a winner and the price do i need to say anymore .

That looks so good, great review, I'm going shopping now 😊

a great, thorough review of a product I'd never buy. I'll have to watch more of your videos.

Great recommendation Denis. Thanks

This is my new Favorite KZread channel! I’m a big fan of Woodpeckers tools. I just can’t afford their stuff. They do make some awesome tools.…

Thanks Dennis, i love my hondui scraper and i think they do nice quality tools.

Thanks Dennis. I am definitely a fan of Woodpeckers tools, but some of them are must haves while others are harder to justify. In this case, it looks like the Hongdui is a far superior product to them. It is much easier to change blades with and the ability to have two different blade types available in one plane body is a benefit. Also, I really like the ability to use off the shelf cutter blades. Thanks for the review...I had passed on the Woodpecker version, but this Hongdui corner plane looks compelling.

I followed your lead and ordered one of these stunningly beautiful edge trimmers. Everything you said is true. I can’t comprehend how Hongdui can deliver such quality at this price, but they do. This is now my favourite tool, and I have to admit that many times I take it out in the evening just to hold it and admire! Thank you again, Denis. Brian (in Ottawa). 🇨🇦

I have both the Hongdui scraper and mitre gauge, they are both great. I also have that cheap imitation chamfer (ep.22), piece of crap still wish I hadn't bought it before your review. Guess I am going to have to add the Hongdui Chamfer tool to my collection, really impressed with the tools coming from Hongdui so far.

Looking forward to the clamp video. Thanks Dennis.

Hi Dennis, I just wanted to thank you for making this series. Beyond the excellent information and consumer advice, I think you are performing a larger service. My partner and her family are Chinese, and they face a huge amount of casual racism and negative stereotypes. In the woodworking community this exists too, with chinese made things having all kinds of negative connotations, despite the fact we use a huge number of techniques and tools that originated in chinese carpentry. Thank you for giving these tools fair reviews, and showing that there are in fact numerous excellent tools being made there, with attention being given to detail and quality. Small things like this can gradually change people's views and prejudices. Thank you.

Hi Denis, great content as ever - many thanks! One item I'm curious about is also made by Hongdui and are the clear cut stock guides for table saw. Similar to the Jessem ones but a better price. They may make a good subject for a video. Cheers!

Hallo helemaal uit Den Haag. Ik kon deze pagina nog niet, maar dit was iets wat mijn oog trok.ik had nog nooit van dit merk gehoord, maar is zeker iets waar ik me verder in ga verdiepen. We zijn het eens over woodpecker, mooi en kwaliteit. Maar zeer zeker prijzig. En als ik nog prof was had het zich terug betaald. Maar nu als hobbyist is dit een top vervanging.

Very informative review, extremely well done. Just Subbed-Thank you very much ✅👍

Perfect Video. Thank you very much.

It's so refreshing to see such high-quality tools coming out of China. Love your videos. Thanx

I don't even need one but what an excellent review. subscribed.

Very thoughtful design indeed 👍

I liked the shorter video mate Great review 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice channel, thanks. I've started to look for some chinese stuff for wood, and this is an eceptional helpful. Subscribed and welcome.

Thanks Dennis, I just got one of these for £75, now though I need to delay my shelving project for a month while it arrives :D Cheers

Thanks for sharing your advice, certainly easier to change blades, is more innovative than the Woodpecker and the bonus is the price. Thanks again

Great review. Nice channel, too; I am just getting into woodworking and just found this channel. Lekker bezig;! ;-)

And yet again an excellent video! What is the best fence for the hongdui miter gauge in your opinion? And looking forward to your review of the router lift & fence! But always looking forward to the next video from you…!

Bought one. Thanks Dennis

Wow, what a great advantage this tool has over the Woodpeckers version.

Thanks bro for your video

I just received my Woodpecker version (I also ordered extra blades with different profiles) and so far I really like it. However; changing blades is a bit of a faf. I'm hoping I don't need to do that that often. What I do really like about the Woodpecker version; you can easily resharpen the blades. For my DIY work that may not be that big of an advantage.

Hongdui is continuing to surprise me. I can't wait for more products from them and hope they stay loyal to their commitment for high quality.

I agree. I hope the same. High quality and original designs

Also, the 5mm bushing means you can use self-cutting cam dowels directly without using those plastic inserts.

Ei Denis você é sensacional nas suas explicações, pena que você demora para colocar os vídeos, mas, meus parabéns!você é ótimo!um abraço de São Paulo!

Great video, however, I will stick to my block plane. However, the round edges option might tempt me in the future.

Hi. Great video. Any ideas when next one ? About holdfast clamps? Thanks

thanks for your good review! can you also review a chinese track square?

was just about to ask about the clamps , you read my mind ;0)

Very nice bro 👌

Special Thanks for my Favorite KZreadr Dennis . Hondgui is Perfekt . And please one review for the black clamps . Sorry for my bad English. 👍

Hey Dennis you're sending me broke, lol. Love your channel

Very interesting, as usual..... Dennis, do You have any suggestion for a router sled such as Woodpecker's but on the cheap side ?

So honest

Have been waiting for this review, and you did not disappoint. Will be ordering to here in us

Hey! Could you do a review on GanWei Palm Trim Router. It is like a festool domino but you can put your palm router into it. Thanks in advance and love your videos.

There are people here in the US that will say they would rather buy American but I’ll bet most American companies are having China make their products and then tack on a high price. Love your videos.
