Absolutely love the no nonsense no frills evaluations on all of those tools, I wish everybody would be like you. This video made me Subscribe and like because I want to see more! Thanks!

So glad to see this. I have been tempted to order tools, but have held off. You saved me some money! THat said, I have have been very happy with my craft supplies from TEMU.

Thank you so much I seriously was looking to buy more than half of the items you bought and your brave testing both chainsaw blades

I always wondered about Temu, Thanks for the heads up on their junk!

Would definitely love to see more of these kinda videos!! Really enjoy watching these

We use this site all the time! I have stayed away from tools with the worry about the same things you found. So thank you for being the guinea pig and testing for us! But like someone said above, their return policy is really good and typically you dont have to even to return the items they just refund you!

I’ve been lucky with temu but you really have to watch what you buy and most of what you bought I wouldn’t have and I was right so thanks for taking one for the team and I’m so glad you still have all your body parts

All your videos are good ,thank you for your time and hard work.

So glad you did this video. I think I’ll just continue ignoring Temu advertisements.

I think it was Stumpy Nubs that had a video on a "real" version of the chainsaw disc (17:14), and just how phenomenally dangerous they are on so many levels. I've been using chainsaws over half my life, along with grinders and other cutting tools, and there's just no way in hell I'd even consider using one of those. I like my fingers too much.

This was one of the most entertaining videos I've seen. Love your sense of humor and reviews.

Thanks for the review It was very helpful

I had some concerns, really appreciate you posting this video - I'll be saving my cash. Thanks man!

Very interesting testing soo soo THANKFUL for this information 🙏 🙌 😊 ☺️

❤ Grately appreciate this video ❤ Thanks for the review on Temu.

Thanks for the trials. I've been seeing ads for Temu everywhere lately but never tried any..I felt it was too good to be true but was sure intrigued. The test turned out like I kinda figured it would. You saved me some time and money.

I have the 4” Angle grinder chainsaw disc from King Arthur and for the Wood log railing, I was using it for it worked Amazingly well. You CAN NOT get complacent with it though, if you do, it will remind you what you're working with. It's a Great tool if you respect it.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I also bought from Temu, and I have same experience. Fortunately my many orders was not wrong too much. Sanding and polishing products, are not bad

I have not or will not shop there especially after I saw an artist wearing her designed shirt. She said she was out and about and saw a man with a shirt on with her pattern she designed. She asked where he got it because she had not her pattern to the public yet I believe. Maybe through some form of social media. He said he bought it from TAMU. She was outraged. Sure enough you Canberra blankets, shirts all kinds of stuff with her pattern on it. That’s stealing art! As an artist it infuriates me. If you take someone’s idea ask them first and give them credit! Thanks for showing what you really get!

I get ads popping up for this company all the time. I am pretty leery of stuff like that. I have found mostly you get what you pay for. Thanks for the review!!

THANK YOU!! First time I had temu forced down my throat on youtube I thought...uh uh...no way! I was right and you proved it. Thanks from the UK.

When I installed windows for Anderson I bought packs of oscillating blades on Amazon, precovid for about 20 cents a piece. They were great for cutting drywall and trimming our exterior moulding against stucco and brick. They definitely saved me a fortune! But then I bought a fooseball table from china and the instructions said “Take people before begin to do thing” and that was it. The product was made to the same quality as the instructions

Got it on sale and am glad I didn't pay full price, but either way, I try to do projects with it and NOW I see why they don't come out right. Thanks for that! I haven't used Temu, but have heard both negative AND positive depending on what you buy. Thanks for sharing your haul, at least now we all know what to stay away from AND what TO buy!

We appreciate ya, Matt. Can you imagine how many thousands you just saved us 😂 that wood carving tool that you demoed. Yes, they can be very dangerous. I bought something here several months ago off line that has hundreds of diamond type teeth for carving. It definitely worked like no other. Started making a bowl for my sister in-law that she asked me to make for her. 4-5 minutes into it, I got to lax using it. It kicked back on me and removed a huge chunk of meat out of my left inner forearm and off to the emergency room for almost 7 hours. Moral to my story is... don't try these tools out without a lil supervision 😂😂😂 Love your videos and informative projects, they've helped broaden ideas for things I never thought that I was capable of doing. Plus... it keeps me in the shop and out of my wife's hair 😉 Thank you sir!!!

You got lax using a dangerous tool. That is like the dead crabber saying I got lax on deck cause the seas were calm for a minute. I have used the chainsaw and the diamonds for several years "knock on wood I never get lax when I use them" and never had an issue. Bottom line you should never get lax when operating any tool no matter how safe you think it is.

Thank you for sharing this, I have looked at a couple of things, but thought it all looked like cheap, naff crap, it looks like i was right to steer clear. As usual, a great video! Thanks Ultimately the old adage, you get what you pay for fits perfectly.

I got a marking wheel which is working fine. Also got neodymium magnets which appear sound. I made a point of not ordering anything with moving parts. The yellow adjustable push block that is so popular is about $47 on Temu. I didn’t order it solely because I don’t need another tool that needs adjustment each time.

My son has been giving me good review of temu... I was not sold . I appreciate you making this video. Seems like some of the cheaper things are OK otherwise no ty. My son bought gas can replacement nozzles etc....great. a car light....great. I don't think he showed me the bad buys. Smile! Ty so much.

I used to build log cabins and the wood carving disk is used for your notches you start with a chainsaw and then fine-tune with the wood carving disk

Thank you for making this video. It tells me all I need to know about Temu. Don't waste my time or money on them.

Thanks for the heads up on the tools. I may order the blades for the oscillating saw but won't waste my money on the rest.

The lab Jack is ok, my 50 piece drill bit pack was rubbish, long nib marker pens are great Laser tapes are poor. Thanks for the vid Matt- you’ve stopped me making purchases I would regret like the mini router

😂 That was hilarious! Thanks for posting!

as with alot of these less expensive online websites you can find super buys and worthless junk. I've had overall fair to great results but certain items I buy name brand for longevity of service. I thank you though for your content and great tutorial type help. You've re-inspired me to press on!!

I appreciate you doing this. Temí keeps coming up in my feed. Glad I never opened the app

I’ve been wondering about the tools. Based on some items I’ve purchased like the multiblade light bulb and a sprayer attachment for my sink - neither fit and really cheaply made. However, I have purchased some sewing supplies, crafting supplies and things for my air fryer and those have all been great. Overall, Temu is a hit or Miss site. You really have to read the whole description and with some items, it’s certainly worth it, others, it’s not. Thanks for this video. Was helpful.

Have brought many things via Temu and found total satisfaction so far. You get what you pay for. LOL

I think this is my favorite video so far…very funny and thank you for checking this stuff out so we don’t have to lol

I love Temu and treat it like harbor freight. I buy stuff like drill bits, glue bottles, silicone glue set, (exactly same as rockler for a quarter of the price) acid shop brushes, I can’t even think of all the stuff I’ve ordered. Just nothing powered I guess? I feel like I can tell if it’s going to work or not

I got a dowelling jig from Temu and it has some weird attachments that I don't understand but other than that it feels super high quality. Like precision machining and nice heft and all metal construction. i was surprised

I bought some tools from Temu. In general, they are good for what I paid for, and some are actually VERY good, with very high quality. It is kind of like IQ tests: if you are stupid, then you may buy some garbage. But dont blame Temu, just blame yourself.

Excellent show about temu

I grabbed a similar hole saw set from Harbor Freight I believe. The only thing I used those for was cutting plastic and then reusing a few PVC pipe fittings (i.e. find the closest one that fits, hit the hole saw with a touch and then set it inside the fitting for 3-4 mins until its soft enough to rip out). Worked well for that...

Crazy stuff😂...but fantastic review thanks for the heads up !

I bought the angle grinder chain saw disc....personally think its the best!! Never had a second of problems. I carve everything from wood to foam with it. Its no more dangerous than a grinding disc....as long as you use as intended. Its not meant to steaight cut thru thick stuff.

One positive thing about TEMU is their return policy is really good! Most of the time they ask for a pic of the defective item and you receive a full refund and a lot of the times they let you keep the product.

Great Job!

That hole saw at 10:40 is actually for cutting dry wall sheet to install pop in lights😂

For the black hole saw set they are made for plasterboard not wood or metal also the adjustable cutter is also for plasterboard I believe and would probably work fine on the right material

thanks, I just took a handful of tools out of my cart they've been there a couple months and you helped me save some doe💲💲

Should see how good they are on the return policy and send it back in the same bag with tape !! Thanks for saving me some money, was actually looking at the mini router .

Matthew you have me laughing 😂

That carving disc is the same one I bought at HD and Lowes or at least the same package and they were $20-plus each. I use to carve wavey flags and yes I get about 2 flags before you have to sharpen, but it takes about 5 minutes and you are back carving. And yes they are very very dangerous. Thanks for the sharing the information.

i love temu, havent ordered any tools yet but have seen a few things that are interesting

Thank you for sharing this info and your monetary sacrifice!! I've already been duped by Temu on more than half of an order of lesser-priced items.

I purchased the drill bits and use them on my models for installing led's and optical fiber. I use them in a moto hobby tool.

I’ve had mixed results from Temu. Many things are smaller than you’d expect. A flexible shaft for an impact driver broke immediately. A tap and die set didn’t have some most common bolt thread gages. The stainless steel and red plastic T-square was total crap. The oscillating tool blades were decent. I bought some router bits that I haven’t tried yet.

There is a concave disc with 35 or 40 grit surface that can do a nice job of sculpting with and it's meant to be used on a grinder.

Probably a lot less likely to catch and then jump around and bite you.

I used to make drill bits and a flat mate I had at the time was into reconditioning furniture, he bought the cheapest drills he could find. I asked him how they went and he said they go good, I looked at them and could see so many terrible defects on them, not even having relief on the flute, having off center points, having chisel points at ridiculous angles, having the back of the point higher than the cutting edge. I told him I’d grab some of his commonly used sizes the next day. He used them and said “holy heck, what was I using?! These bits take no effort and keep going”. To this day I can tell if a brand is worth buying by looking at it. Even the cheap ones can be good but they’re made of far less dense steel and dull far quicker. We used Indian steel and brought out a separately branded line using Chinese steel. The Chinese steel weighed about 75% of the Indian, lasted about 75% less holes. You get what you pay for.

I have bought and used a few tools from Temu, screwdriver bits, tool bags, some drill bits, bit holders and some kitchen gadgets. The only thing I've had a problem with was one of the drill bits broke on the first try, other than that no issues. Like anything though you get what you pay for. Just remember whether you buy from Temu, Amazon, Walmart, or Target 99% of what you buy comes from China and if you order off your phone they will get your information.

The great thing about this site is anything you are not happy with, they will give you a free return label and refund your money. So other then your time you can not get back, you can get your money back for the items. So sorta no harm, no fowl financially. Thank you for testing out these items. Love your channel.

For the tiny drill bits, use a dremel instead of a normal drill (ideally a dremel press to reduce snapping likelihood). Thanks for the great overview, I've deliberately never even considered Temu just because of the "junk appearance" even in their ads, this just affirms that further, something like the drill bits or jigsaw blades maybe seem like a "can't lose for the price" proposition (heck, they probably all come off the same assembly line, with just low-tolerances (or cheaper input materials) going out the chinesieum Temu/Alibaba doors, the "graded materials/final tolerance/prep attention to detail" products going out the "name brands" door, but definitely anything that is comprised of more than a single part, is clearly junk, and the more parts, the more the junk multiplies in junkitude. I did wonder if the router plate could be "belt sanded" into flatness/squareness just for the sake of "I've bought it, can anything be salvaged for review" purposes, but then again, like the grinder chainsaw, a router bit at 20k rpm flying out of a crap router, probably as dangerous if not more so.

The only things worth getting are simple things you cant really f-up. We got travel ponchos, 5 pack of XLs for $3. Travel food and water bowls for dogs, 3 colapsables in 3 colors for $6. 50 pack of random d-clips for securing things to bags, $8. Sticker sets for thermos, 50 for like $2. Large corner shower wall organizer metal set of 2, $16.

Ive done a couple of orders on temu, and yes, it is mixed results. However, I ordered T-track, stops, set up blocks, and was really impressed with the quality of these, and a few other items for the money. I noticed at the beginning of the video, you had a track bar or similar pocking out the bag, but didn't review it. I only ask as I was considering ordering a track bar, and mitre guage for the table saw .

Zowee! Thanks for the review 😮😊

I've been ordering from Temu, off and on for about a year now, but have stayed away from woodworking tools and after seeing this will continue to do so. Out of approximately 10 orders costing a few hundred dollars, of various things per order, from kitchen scissors to eye hook 100 pound magnets, I've only had one disappointing item and that was a hairband of all things. Lol I will say the kitchen scissors I paid a little over a dollar for rivals the 20 something dollar one I also have. As a crafter and woodworker, there are a lot of options that are wicked cheap. Most of my orders I'd prepare myself for them to be very sub-par, but for just under or just over $1.00, I figured it would be worth a try. And as I said I only had one off the wall hair item that wasn't worth a crap. My only issue is that instructions aren't really instructional. Need cool looking tire stem caps, a phone case, neodymium magnets, hair clips, kitchen scissors or other such under $5.00 items, it's definitely worth a try though.

I would say the 3 blade adjustable hole saw would be perfect for drywall/sheetrock, or ceiling tiles.

Wow! JUNK! Thanks for saving us time and money! You da man!

the chainsaw for the grinder was banned in the UK 3-4 years ago... I actually bought one before it was banned and it caught my glove and ran up my finger, was super luck, I had gloves on... very dangerous tool accessory..I am a wood carver so use a lot of wood carving tools...

Lol! Thanks Matt, that was hilarious and doing it with (almost) a straight face had to be challenging. I never considered buying tools from temu, or anything else for that matter. I learned some hard lessons just from buying harbor freight trash. Their stuff is just as expensive as brand name now and a huge waste of money. It wasn't always that way though. A long time ago I bought a set of hole saws and a reciprocating saw from HF, they are still functioning! I bought a router/table combo last spring and couldn't even make close to accurate cuts, then it broke lol. I found a Rockwell on clearance at Lowe's for less than I paid at HB.

You get what you pay for, buy once cry once. Great video and more or less what I expected from that company.

A little tricky for the 1/16 bits. Supposedly you can use a cheap pen in rod casing and it crushes onto the bit in order to let it chuck up.. haven't tried it myself...

Thank you!

Very nice detail video. I notice that nothing around those prices really work. I have bought some tools for around $100.00 that would have cost me way more somewher else that actually work.

I bought one of the chainsaw carving blades years ago, but it was a name brand from Woodcraft. Worked well for shaping 4x4s into, and adding character to a trestle base for a cribbage coffee table, but it was always somewhat sketchy to work with. I wouldn't trust anything spinning at 10k+ rpm in that router.

I have four of those routers in single purpose custom jigs I built. They have helped make product that has made us £35,000+ so no complaints from me! To be fair I had to rewire then to attach the earth ... and switch the live rather than the neutral.......and heavily modify the base .......and change the collet. But apart from that!

Thanks for doing this. I've been wondering about the quality of their tools, my wife keeps showing me them. Resently my wife showed me one of their welders, looks good, even sounds good. But I wondered, thought I'd look on the website of a brand they look like before I do anything, but I haven't identified the brand as yet.

I've had good luck with Temu. That said, their packaging is universally terrible so I never buy things that are easily breakable. I also don't buy things with moving parts. It's all cheap stuff from China, but so are many things in brick and mortar stores. So you are good with getting the same stuff without the mark up then give Temu a try.

FINALLY A HONEST OPINION!!. You get what you pay for.

I was bummed about the router. I was thinking of buying one along with the router lift base.

Good show

Great video… I’ve seen Temu ads everywhere. Maybe Harbor Freight is behind the company so somebody else can be badmouthed about the quality 😁. I guess that you do get what you pay for. Thank you for the honest review and saving me from wasting my money.

I use the chain saw disc almost daily for log home building. You don't go straight at the log!!! You shave the log at an angle or in my case I use it to fit the corners of the logs. You used it improperly and if you're paying attention to all your tools you should be fine to use it without worry. It is intimidating looking but you're the one controlling it! Thnx for the video!

This tells me everything I wanted to know.
