About

Not an industry reviewer — someone who keeps buying odd tools off Chinese marketplaces to see what’s actually good. I test what I can and say so when I can’t.

What this site is

A catalogue, not a blog. Short, structurally consistent write-ups of power tools, hand tools, and EE/test gear bought off AliExpress and Temu. Every entry answers one question — would I buy it again? — with a plain yes, maybe, or no, and an owned-for stamp so a two-week verdict never masquerades as a two-year one.

There are no star ratings here. I can tell you what a fuse looks like when I open something up; I can’t credibly score long-term build quality after two weeks with a product, so I don’t pretend to.

What I can and can’t test

I open things up when I can — teardown photos are the part of this site I care about most, since listing photos never show you what’s actually inside. What I can’t do is verify long-term reliability, calibration drift, or manufacturer claims beyond what a caliper, a scale, or a known reference can confirm. Where that matters, I say so in the review.

Nothing here is sponsored. Products are bought at normal retail price from AliExpress or Temu, same as anyone else would.
