The people that are complaining about sparks and smell on the brushed tools, obviously don't understand that all new brushed machines will do that from new, until the brushes bed in. If it keeps doing it after days of use or is really excessive, then take the tool back, as it's faulty, otherwise it's nothing to worry about.

Video Idea: build a whole project with 1 star tools.

"Am i going to give it more than 1 star? No. I'd probably give it like two, two and a half stars." Bruh, what? 😂

I feel like the pink drill is good enough budget thing for the little projects drilling into drywall. With all that it comes with for 30 bucks it'll get the picture hung

Remember, switching to your 8 volt is faster than recharging...

The WEN tracks doesn't go back because it as an anti-kickback safety feature, and it doesn't cut right on the track because you are supposed to cut the gasket on the track the first use to prevent chipping, I think all that's covered in the manual. I've had mine for over a year and use it only at 90 degrees with absolutely no issues, I got a Milwaukee one when it came out for use outside the shop

FYI - Most cheap devices with battery level indicators that are just a few LEDs and not a digital readout. Don't change till below about 50%. Because they use old NiMh battery level indicators that are purely based on voltage. So if equipped with a Li-Po battery the level will be way off.

For the tracksaw, shouldn't you install a new 0 clearance sacrificial rubbert band ? So that the saw would cut it and be accurate.
And fucking hell, the people complaining about a 35$ router coming without bits are crazy. It's like they really want something so cheap that it will actually explode in their face.

6:37 There is a reason why tracksaw tracks come with oversized rubber lids. They cut down to the perfect measurement during the first cut. You should be happy it didn’t shorten the lid on your track ;)

I know nothing about tools. But this was on my feed and I’m entertained lol

I have a Wen drill press and a 1" belt sander and I've been very happy with them. They're no Festool, but you can practically fill your shop with Wen for the price of a Festool track saw.

Build 2 identical projects, something detailed and precise. build one with 1 star tools and the other with your good tools and compare

[peteyscott]

Be careful how you store those incredibly cheap and unreliable lithium batteries from purchases made for videos like these. My neighbor had his house burn down from a faulty lithium battery, and it was not from a company as sketchy as that drill and sander. I bought a fireproof bag made for charging lithium batteries and store all of mine in it now!

I'm not sure where you saw the 1-star review for the tracksaw--maybe a third-party seller? The sold-by-Amazon listing for the saw gets 4.3 stars from over 1, 000 reviews. That rating is also pretty consistent for the listings for packages deals (with tracks etc).

[hanzmartin]

⚠️ The fact that you can smell the brushes at the beginning is because they are first grinding in and I recommend letting the devices run for 5 minutes without load to have full power.

I own the track saw and it works well. As other's have said, the zero clearance strip needs to be mated to each saw. It needs replaced when switching saws. The cam that prevents the saw from moving backwards is supposed to keep it from kicking back. I found it annoying and took it out. It comes off with 1 Phillips screw. Overall, it works great for straight cuts. I have not tried the miter yet.

[ThisisCitrus]

"Am I going to give it more than 1 star? No, I'd give it a 2." Well glad you're handy, cause math isn't your strong suit, pal.

[GeorgeOrwell-tpdw]

“I’m very much not used to using brushed tools these days” was such a sad and strange flex

[darkwinter]

The green LED staying on when the charger is unplugged is because there's a capacitor inside it that stores a little bit of power to smooth out the AC waveform coming in from the wall. Wait a little bit and it will run out of power and the LED will go out.

[washellwash]

When it comes to the tracksaw, you don't have to buy a festool track, a lot of cheaper brands of tracks are compatible. Spending more on the track than the saw would be ridiculous, unless you're already saving up for a better tracksaw and just need something to tide you over.
