16:40, "You can use these as well" (for the normal screws), but no warning about more risk splitting the hole as opposed to no risk with the correct pocket hole screw (because of the tapered head of the normal screw).
Good call out. Regular screws aren’t recommended as they have a funnel shape and can drive deeper into the pocket than wanted. Pocket screws essentially have a washer attached stopping the screw on the flat part of the pocket.
Ordering tools (or basically anything) from temu is basically same as saying "today I'm going to both hurt myself and get a heavy metal poisoning while simultaneously voting to remove workers' rights to any human rights and helping to bring down whatever is left of domestic production".
While I get what you’re saying clearly….. it’s an unfortunate fact that import of products is a fact of life. As much as I would love to support US made products…. Most companies don’t reach out to me. If they did…. I would gladly support them. I don’t hunt down items, they reach out to us…. As they do most TH-camrs. A lot of my current content and past has promoted foreign made products such as all my FoxAlien CNC machines and honestly I’m super happy with the products and relationships I have made. As far as “Heavy Metal Poisoning” goes….. I’m perty sure I’ll be ok! LoL. As far as ordering from Temu… I was genuinely curious about the items and quality so I felt it was good for me to make the video! Thanks for your comment and really appreciate your input! You said your thoughts without actually being a jerk unlike some people so I respect that! Cheers and have a great day!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman Thanks. My somewhat poorly worded point was that I would personally be a little bit hesitant to order the cheapest of the cheap, especially if it has anything to do with electricity, spinning things, sharp blades or accurate measurements, as I expect it to be that $0.99 quality. As for the heavy metal poisoning, in my country the investigating reporters took some cheap stuff, mostly clothes and fashion, to the lab and found out that they contained all sorts of chemicals that are banned in the western countries. I do understand that most stuff is imported and that some stuff made in here can get outrageously expensive if you go through lots of blades, but I'd still be careful where I order from due to the fact somehow the customer always pays. Be it quality, safety, working conditions or future monopoly prices when the competition is gone. And for these reasons, I'm personally not really a fan of shops like Temu, Shein, Wish or even Amazon.
@@DidNotThinkThisThrough I wonder if there’s any home test for HMP!? That might something I look into! Glad you brought it up! Would be interesting to find out!
I’ve go so much going on in life with work and hobbies….. I almost forgot I even ordered from Temu let alone the items!!! You’ve never had anything show up from Amazon and say “what is this…… oh ya!!” 🤣

Why do these people never remember what they ordered? Gets a bit lame after a while.

as someone who orders a whole pile of stuff at once, i also forget, its normal
TEMY uses slave labor, so unfortunately this is an instant blacklist of the channel for me

Terrible production quality, bland and uninteristing personaity. Felt like I wasted the 2 minutes I watched this video before clicking off
