I Bought TikTok Shop Tools

Introduction

In an adventurous leap of faith to explore the current TikTok shopping craze, I gave my employees, Sam and Joe, the green light to purchase five tools off TikTok. Armed with a company credit card and a playful spirit, they set off on their quest. These tools just arrived, and to my surprise, one of them was a literal table saw. Let’s check out what they picked out!

Mini Electric Chainsaw

First up is a mini electric chainsaw that cost about $ 50. The design looks suspiciously similar to many products you might find from places like Temu or Wish, and it's been the subject of countless TikTok videos. It’s both funny and slightly alarming how many untrained individuals embrace these tools. Luckily, it comes with gloves and safety glasses, increasing its appeal (as if you can be too careful with a chainsaw).

Charging it up revealed that the battery was full, so we ventured to the backyard, where fallen branches awaited us after a recent storm. Despite its mini size, the chainsaw cut through the debris reasonably well, even if it wasn't the most powerful tool on the market. Overall, it’s fun, functional for light work, and not a terrible buy if you find it on sale.

Fantic Electric Screwdriver

Next, we turned our attention to a widely popular item: the Fantic electric screwdriver. Priced at $ 40, it’s been everywhere recently, including Costco. Upon unpacking, I was pleasantly surprised by the metal design of the screwdriver itself, although I was disappointed that some parts were plastic.

The screwdriver comes with an array of bits and an intriguing piece that looks alarmingly like tweezers. I tested its torque and functionality on several screws. While it handled smaller screws quite easily, anything larger quickly turned into a tedious task that still required manual effort. Great for light jobs, but I wouldn’t throw away my traditional screwdrivers just yet.

Drill Bit Set

Third up is a cheap $ 17 drill bit set, featuring a punch and step drill bits. I grabbed a piece of tube steel to test their utility. For anyone who has worked with metal, these step bits can be excellent for creating holes of varying sizes. However, as I discovered, their performance was underwhelming. They struggled on the steel, contrasting starkly with the sharp Diablo bits I usually use. I’d pass on this set if you’re serious about drilling efficiency.

Fantic Laser Level

Moving on to a laser level by Fantic retailing at $ 40, my expectations were cautiously optimistic. I managed to find some glowing reviews online. As I set it up, I found the laser to be surprisingly bright! For light use, it may well do the job, though I noticed it had limitations compared to higher-end models. Not a bad option if you need one for simple home projects, but it doesn’t replace professional-grade equipment.

Table Saw

Finally, we arrived at the seemingly infamous TikTok table saw priced at $ 200. Out of the packaging, my hopes were crushed as I noticed wobbling parts and a lack of stability. This shouldn’t be happening with any table saw. The blade was included, which was a plus, but the overall construction felt dangerously cheap.

After assembling it, I was left utterly concerned with its performance; there's too much potential for kickback, which can be hazardous. Unfortunately, I couldn’t even test it on wood without fearing injury. I’d strongly advise against purchasing this table saw unless you're prepared for significant risk.

In conclusion, these TikTok tools range from surprisingly useful to downright dangerous. Future buyers should remain vigilant: not all TikTok shopping recommendations are created equal.
