I've made 4 or 5 purchases of Vevor, either through Amazon, or directly from the Vevor site. Been mostly happy with all, and for the price, you can't argue. The 7x14 mini lathe had been a bit of a lemon, but at like $299, I dont feel cheated.

TEMU, only made 1 order of 3 things, and was unhappy with all 3. Rain proof camo hunting pants and jacket were pajamas.... The drone, although very very cheap, has a constant drift, which, although it flies and takes video, basically makes it unusable.

Vevor, clamp on bucket forks, a galv raised garden planter, a 4 in 1 Welder, ect all have been not just fine, they have been Good, at Way less money

VEVOR is most likely Chinese maybe with US backing, that seems sort of a Harbor Freight internet type store. I think thet repackage or spec products so what they offer is good value and not junk. I think they understand establishing a brand name and being in it for the long haul will pay off.
I hope the tarrifs will kill TEMU, etc.
Harbor freight understands that their future is to offer value, not junk, though you can still buy junk there.
Suspect price of tools and stuff will increase, and this will spawn USA investments.

Swapped my Big Tex 14GX GN scissor lift for a 14TD hydraulic ram bumper pull. Better lifting capacity and easier for the old man in me to hook up. Here I am dumping 6 yards of sandy loam. Even a tad overloaded at 12,000#, rated for 11,200#, it dumped just fine.

It doesn't count, but 18 y/o son bought a 1993 Nissian hardbody D21 pick up, 2.4L, king cab, 5 speed stuck, 2wd, Sunday. Now... this was his move, and gets it home and the vacuum lines and electronics... about a dozen wires are cut or hanging, carbon canisters removed, few other things, and vacuum hoses laying everywhere.

Him and his friend are trying to figure out how to get it run more than 5 seconds, and I told him, basically gonna half to trace out each wire and vacuum line, ID it, and replace or delete. I dont think he knew what he was getting into.

I bought a front end rebuild and brake job on the farm Duramax instead of buying a new truck.

Sorry to hear that but the best way to learn.

A new tool chest. I was going to get the 42” wide model, but today the 52” was on sale for less than the 42”. It’s gonna fill up fast.
