- 30 bucks to cut with plasma?
- Everybody mindful of their eyeballs?
(intense violin music)
We bought some of the cheapest, sketchiest tools
we could find on Wish.com,
and today we're gonna test 'em
to see if tools that cheap
could possibly be worth the savings.
We got the biggest tool in the shop, Jeremiah,
I'm Zach,
and this is Donut.
(birds singing) (water splashing)

All right, let's get back to the video.
(mellow digital music)
- And without further ado,
let's get right into it.
You haven't seen any of these tools, have you?
- I haven't seen a single one. - Me neither.
Any expectations?
- They're gonna be bad. (crowd ahs)
- I think they're gonna be small.
(crowd oohs)
- Well, the box that Jimmy's about to put on our desk
is pretty big.
- Let's see, this is the first thing.
Actually, and so far, not terrible.
- Yeah.
I don't think that's small at all.
- Lithium electric tool.
Okay, we got a little half inch impact.
Pretty small.
- Whoa, half inch.
- Feels cheap. Smells cheap.
You smell it? (man screams)
- Oh, this smells gross.
- The bag's open.
- Oh. - Oh,
it even comes with sockets.
- Feel this.
Do you hear that?
- I do. - That's just rubbing.
(Jeremiah and Zach laughing)
- It'll make room.
- Okay, let's see how-
(drill whirring)
- You got a little wobble to it, huh?
(Zach laughing)
- Yeah, I get it.
- I wonder if it can like do stuff.
- Oh, geez.
- For an impact, a good one that like I would use here,
like the Milwaukee one we have,
I wanna say is somewhere
in the like 250 to 350 range.
- Yeah, I'd say, yeah.
300 bucks.
So this is what we use- - Like this one.
- In the shop. - Good ol' workhorse.
- Yeah.
- This is- - You know.
Look at that.
Oh, a significant amount of heft to it.
- Let's hear 'em both.
- Okay.
(man wailing) (impact wrench chattering)
- Doesn't sound very frightening.
- This sounds like it's working against itself.
(menacing string music) (impact wrench roaring)
- All right.
Well, knowing that it's Wish.com,
and feeling how cheap it is,
but it still seems to work,
like this isn't the worst thing I've ever seen.
I'm gonna guess $42.
- Oh, okay.
I'm gonna say 65.
All right. Well you wanna find out?
- Yeah.
- Start here with Jer.
That's me.
- Start here, Jer.
21, well...
$10! No way.
This actually showed up after giving 'em 10 bucks?
- This was 10 bucks?
- Now I have to know if it can take off a wheel.
Wow.
I'm way upset with my guess. - I don't think
it can, though.
All right, Jer, let's go see
if this 10-buck tool is worth its weight.
So normally I can't do this with an impact wrench.
(impact wrench hammering)
- The ol' two finger squeeze?
- Yeah. But we'll see.
(impact wrench hammering)
- There it goes!
Hell yeah. (Zach laughing)
All right, Jerry.
$10 and one penny for this half inch impact gun.
What do you think?
Do we stash it?
Do we trash it?
- I mean, 10 bucks?
I don't know what I could do with $10.
And it's a tool that works.
I would say keep it, but-
- I disagree completely.
It's not that good of a tool.
Sure, it was cheap, but this would never come out.
I would never use this.
- Even if you didn't have any other tool?
- No, I would use a breaker bar.
- What if you don't have a breaker bar?
- I would go get one.
- For this one, okay. I guess.
I guess I'll let you throw it away.
- Thank you. Oh my God.
Jobe.
- Okay, what else do we have?
What's next on our list? - Yeah, what's next?
Ooh, I have a feeling I know what this...
Oh, that's not what I thought it was.
- [Jeremiah] Electric jack for car.
12 volt.
- Okay. All right.
So we just got a little scissor jack type deal
with a hydraulic pump on the end
that you connect to your 12 volt outlet in the car.
And then it just operates the jack.
So you can just lift the car up
by pushing one of these buttons.
- Jimmy, can you go grab a battery?
Oh, light cam's on.
Ready?
(jack whirring)
- Wow. Real cool. (children cheer)
So we just have a little electric motor
that sounds super healthy.
It just spins the gear
and twists the threaded rod,
and picks this thing up and puts it down.
- Yeah. You said hydraulic.
It's not-
- Yeah, I don't know why I said that.
Oh, cool.
- And we don't have to talk about it.
It's kind of big, though.
I mean, this takes up a lot of space in the ol' trunk.
Maybe if it's for like a trailer or something?
You know, you throw it in the back of the trailer.
- Yeah. Yeah.
A trailer could make some sense.
- Okay. I- - It works.
- What would you pay for this?
- What would I pay for it, or what do I think it costs?
- Oh, okay, yeah. - I think those are different.
- What do you think Wish.com charges for this product?
- Well, after having my mind blown apart
by the $10 impact gun, I'm gonna say 15 bucks.
- I mean, yeah.
I'm guessing five bucks.
I don't know.
- All right. Well- - Why not?
- Let's see.
What?! (Jeremiah chuckles)
- We're going the other way, Jobe.
- 70 bucks?
- We're going the other way.
Two ton-slash-three ton.
- Yeah. That's confusing.
- Dedicated DC, car, automatic, electric lift jack,
lifting impact wrench,
tool kit, tire repair, emergency equipment.
And before we go test anything out,
let's see if it can stop the strength of one Zach Jobe.
(intense music) (jack whirring)
(Zach groans)
- Hey Jimmy, come stand on it.
- I don't have it.
- You want more air time?
This is what you gotta do.
- Yeah. Here.
You can hold my hands.
- Okay. - There you go.
You ready? - Yeah.
- Let's do one Jimmy.
(angelic music) (jack whirring)
- Oh, like he's not even there.
- All right.
Good work, Jimmy.
Thank you so much.
- Good job, Jimmy.
Give it up for Jimmy, everyone in the audience.
(children cheering) Yeah. Clap.
- Yeah.
Okay. - Okay.
- Here we've got my Lexus.
She's pretty heavy.
We'll see if this can pick up a corner.
- It's too tall to get under the Miata.
Yeah.
So if you have a lowered car,
this probably isn't the jack for you,
especially if you're picking it up 'cause of a flat tire.
Then the car is even lower.
All right.
To give this thing a chance
to actually pick the back half of this car up,
we're gonna put it under the pumpkin
so that the range of height it's got,
you know, will be sufficient.
(intense percussion music)
Hey! Wheel's up!
- [Jeremiah] Wow.
Wheel's up.
I'd say that's pretty good, Jobe.
- Yeah. I mean, it worked.
Well, car's in the air.
- That's good.
It did it pretty quick.
- Yeah, not too bad.
- You're stranded on the side of the road, you got-
- You got two flats.
- Yeah. You could do it.
(jack whirring)
All right, Jer, 70 bucks for this turd.
What do you think?
Trash it or stash it?
- I mean, to me, I would have it if I had a trailer.
And doing car stuff?
No, I wouldn't put this in my car.
It's too big.
Too heavy.
- Like, this takes up drunk space.
You can't stash this somewhere, so-
- Trash this sucker, man.
- Hell yeah. - I don't want it.
- I love it when you say that.
I know you're kind of a hoarder,
so I know it's tough for you.
- It is, but this one, I don't want it.
- Yeah. Too big.
Too much money to do a job too slow.
- Put it in a trashcan.
- Ooh. 198 pieces tool set.
Nice little general purpose,
you know, around the house set.
I wouldn't necessarily call this a mechanic set,
but it's just like a little bit of everything.
(angelic music) Right on.
You get 198 pieces.
- I'm already mad that half of these fell out.
- I know.
This is awful.
This is probably gonna happen every time you use this.
(tools clattering)
(wild animal roaring)
- Can you bend it?
- No, not really.
- Oh, okay. - It's pretty strong.
You get some, a couple Phillips.
You get two number two.
You get a little bit driver, some short stubby screwdrivers.
I think this was supposed to be a flathead.
I think we got it on accident,
'cause you got a Phillips and a flat.
This should be a Phillips and a flat, and-
- They gave us two Phillips.
- We got mis-boxed.
- Oh, heck yeah.
- I've never seen this in a toolbox in my life.
That's hilarious. - These are handy.
So I'll give 'em that.
- And we got four of 'em.
- Whoa. - Four!
- I bet you each thing in here counts
as one of the 198 things,
which pisses me off! - This is 198.
I have one like this that's a mechanic set that's a DeWalt.
that I got, and I paid, I think maybe a hundred bucks.
So this one,
$40?
- Oh I think it's gonna be like 18.
- I bet you're right.
- Naturally.
$10 and one penny.
The same amount as the impact gun.
- Oh my gosh.
10 bucks. - Yeah, I mean,
this stuff is junk.
I think, you know-
- Okay. Yeah.
Imagine...Okay.
This is the scenario
I'm gonna play out, right?
I'm at my girlfriend's parents' house.
They don't have tools.
- Right. - Right?
I would love to have this-
- Yeah, I would leave this there.
- I would leave this there.
They have it, so if I just need something,
I can, I get me in a jam.
Fair? - Yeah. I agree.
That's what it is.
Like, I would leave this at my mom's house.
I would not keep it.
- I also would not keep it.
- All right, Jerry, what do you think?
Trash it or stash it?
- I think this one goes into purgatory.
For me, I'd trash it.
Someone else could use this, it'd be fine.
- Yeah. Yeah.
I would give this to a friend who needs a couple tools.
- Right
Tool purgatory.
I hate that place.
- Okay. The future of tools.
No way.
That's a bold statement right there.
- The future of tools.
- Okay, so I mean kind of looks like a knockoff of a Bosch.
We got a little, little sander.
- [Jeremiah] Oh, dude.
I have this exact one. - Random orbital.
- But in a Bosch.
- Yeah. - You got twist right here.
Ooh. Yep.
- Little dust collector.
Even comes with like 10 sanding discs.
- That's nice.
- Yeah.
Oh, we can sand this desk.
It needs it.
- Okay. Got our cord.
I love chewing on these things.
These are my favorite to chew on.
Before we use this- - Yeah?
- Okay, what would you pay
for a nice brand name equivalent of this?
- I would say about 80 to a hundred bucks.
- That's probably fair. Yep.
But yeah. Okay.
So what do we think this one costs?
- I mean, it's got some heft to it.
Let me turn it on.
Come on.
Let me hear it.
- It's plugged in, buddy.
- Oh.
Uh-oh. (cameramen laughing)
- Is this plugged in?
- I think so (laughs).
- Oh no, it's not.
It's not plugged in.
Okay.
- Okay. Let's hear this thing run.
(sander humming)
Actually pretty quiet so far.
Let's crank her up a bit.
(sander whirring)
Not bad - Sounds pretty good.
- I was expecting a more jitter thing.
- Okay, so what would you guess, now that we heard it?
It sounds quality.
- You gotta remember, this is the future of tools.
- It is.
- So from Tacklife, Wish.com.
I'm saying $13.
- See, I'm gonna start gaming it here,
because we went cheap, expensive, cheap.
I think this one's expensive.
- All right.
- I'm gonna say 40 bucks.
- Whoa. I thought it might be single digits.
17.77. - I just got boned.
I would've paid twice as much for this piece of junk?
- What did I say? - 17.77...
What did you say?
- I don't remember.
14, 12?
- 13 bucks. Okay.
You were under. "Price is Right" rule.
- Yeah, I win.
All right, well, let's see if it can sand this bench.
- Okay.
(sander whirring)
- Not bad.
- I think that did a great job.
- Yeah. It did a great job.
Even when I was pushing really hard, it didn't bog down.
It kept spinning, kept vibrating, sucked up some dust.
It made a corner of our table look brand new.
- For 17 bucks?
17.77?
- All right, Jerry.
What do you think?
Trash it or stash it?
- I think we got our first stash it, Jobe.
- I think you're right.
I agree. - For 17.77?
- Yeah.
Dude, that's great.
What a deal. - Does its job.
Wasn't super loud.
I mean, who knows how long it'll last,
but for now, it works.
- All right, Jobe.
We're down to our final Wish product.
(crowd awing)
- Oh no.
- And it's the biggest box yet.
- Whoa. It's not even small.
Cut 50...
Aw, is this gonna be a plasma cutter?
It is.
Cut 50, babe.
- Is this a plasma cutter?
- Sure is.
Oh, hell yeah, dude.
Dude, this is sick (mimics lasers).
- So these have gotten really cheap
over the last handful of years,
and you know, I bet this thing will work.
We already have a pretty cheap plasma cutter, and it works.
- Okay. so what did you...
We have a cheap one.
What would you pay for?
I have no clue what a plasma cutter costs.
I'm like shooting in the dark here.
- Oh, I don't remember.
That's a good question.
I wanna say it was in between 100 and 200.
I'm gonna say it was like 150 bucks.
- Okay, so Eastwood makes one of these,
which is a quality company, for $500.
So what do you expect to pay for Wish.com's plasma cutter?
- Well, like I said,
these have been getting pretty cheap,
and this is Wish.com,
so I'm gonna guess less than a hundred.
I think $82.
- Hmm. I'm gonna go 55.
Why not? - Okay. Yeah.
That's good. That's good.
You might be right.
- I have no clue.
I didn't even know this thing existed.
I thought plasma was fake.
(Zach chuckles)
Okay, Eddie, you know what?
You changed my mind. $178.
- Dang. - Okay.
29.99!
- That's pretty dang cheap.
- Eddie. Dude.
You made me change my answer, you freaking butthole.
Dude, you made me have higher.
You made me go higher. - Tell him.
Tell him.
- 30 bucks to cut with plasma?
We are living in the future, people.
It's just electricity and air, Nolan.
Don't you know what plasma is?
- [Assistant] Okay. So this-
- Yeah, the cost.
I mean, there's enough copper in this.
- That's what I'm saying.
It's like how? - There's enough copper wire
for 30 bucks.
How do they do it?
- It's on. It's got a fan.
This thing's gonna cut.
That's interesting.
That wasn't happening before.
Hmm. That's odd.
It didn't come with a plug for the third hole.
So when I hook it up to the machine and the air compressor,
all the air just comes out the side.
I need to plug that.
Surprised it didn't come with one.
It came with everything else.
Okay.
So for now, we have deleted the air regulator.
I'm just using the one that's built
onto the compressor, which is fine.
And this lets me plug into the compressor.
Little hokey, but it's gonna work.
Everybody good?
- Yep. - Eyes?
Everybody mindful of their eyeballs?
(fart bleats)
Nothing.
Well, I was pretty sure this was gonna work,
but I got 65-ish psi coming through this hose.
None coming to the gauge on the box.
And nothing happens when I click the trigger.
Should let some air out.
The thing's gonna cut.
Okay, well maybe a $30 plasma cutter won't cut it.
- Dude.
I wanna zap something.
- Well, that didn't work.
- That did not work.
- I mean, if it did work, for 30 bucks, that'd be awesome.
- Yeah. - But it didn't.
I gotta be honest.
This is a lot of stuff- - For 30 bucks?
- For 30 bucks.
- Yes. - I mean,
just the cable alone.
I mean, the box to put this in.
I don't know how they made this thing
and made a profit.
- Blows my mind.
And I bet with some more time and maybe part replacement,
you could get it to work,
but that's not what you wanna have to do with a new tool,
even if it was only 30 bucks.
So, Jerry, the question remains.
Do we stash it or do we trash it?
- Dude, we trash it.
- Yes.
You psyched me out for a sec there.
- Come on, plasma cutter.
Go into there.
- Oh, your phone.
It broke the screen.
- Oh, it's okay.
- Well, Jerry, I don't know if Wish.com
is where we should be buying tools.
- I don't think so.
So far, of all the stuff,
they all went to the trash, minus one.
- He's in purgatory.
We did keep the gloves, though.
Well, and the sander.
- So we're one for five, but also we're four,
four for four with our gloves.
Keep these gloves. Keep these gloves on.

- Yeah, something real near and dear to my heart.
- Yeah.
- But I'm not gonna tell you what it is.
Eddie, if you point that camera over there, I swear.
- Oh, don't do it.
Eddie. Eddie.
- [Zach] Okay.
