Vevor Tools - What Is Your Experience?

[billt460]

The problem, (at least for now), is if you buy anything Vevor and it breaks, you own it. This is especially true with their popular socket and ratchet sets. Their warranty process is worthless to the point of being non existent. At least until they start getting a network of retail stores.

This is where Harbor Freight has them beat 11 ways to Sunday. By any tool from Harbor Freight and break it, and a new one is just a 10 minute ride from the same store you bought it.

Wrenches, sockets, ratchets are easily warrantied without any hassle. In fact you could compare them to the now famous Craftsman unconditional warranty from the 60's and 70's.

Today Vevor has but a few retail stores here. Will that improve in the future? If the economy stays reasonably good it most likely will. But it's going to be a long time before they catch up to Harbor Freight in the overall amount of retail stores. If they ever do..... Which for Harbor Freight today sits at right around 1,600+ nationwide.

I bought a vevor 1500 lb rope puller, and its useless. The rope slips at maybe 100 lbs of pull on it.

Vevor might have a couple good tools, but in my box they are a complete joke.

I'm actually kind of angry, seems like they pushed WEN out of the picture. Not sure.

WEN was a sleeper and had some surprisingly good stuff!

I'm ashamed to admit I almost pulled the trigger on a Vevor borescope but it magically went OOS in the 2 days I was looking at it. Instead I found an Autool I think I'll try and I can maintain my anti-Vevor stance.

In truth Vevor might have a few gems.....I mean if Dorman can have something that works 1 in 100 times, ANYONE can, right?!?!?

Ah man, and then YT feeds me this. Don't worry, the Vevor tool shows up right away even if you don't like Rainman (I'm not a fan but tolerate him sometimes)


@The Critic wishes he had this rather than that rando Mueller-Kueps junk

Vevor makes and sells 6.0 powerstroke heads ...

I bought the clamshell bearing puller. First one immediately came apart. Second one seems to be working. Way cheaper than the yukon clamshell.

I figured them more the 6.0 PSD EGR cooler types-couldn't be worse than Ford ones!

I've got two Vevor products that were a gamble, but the price was so low compared to an alterative, it was worth the risk.
- Pool cover. This is an inground, 20' x 40' cover with stairs that I thought would be junk after one year. Cost was 20% of a new pool store cover. Still looks brand new even after a tough winter. Well worth the $.
- Diesel heater. I used this this winter to heat my un-insulated garage. It wasn't balmy in there, but brought the interior from single digits to nearly above freezing. Which is all I could hope for. For $70, a pipe kit for the exhaust and a few quarts of diesel, it was well worth the effort. If I get another season out of it I feel ahead of the game.

My only experience with Vevor is I bought their $250 ATV dump trailer last year and it's actually pretty **** good quality for the price. The lower end Bosski trailers, which are very nice, are up to $1100 now.

We got a baseball practice net set from them during the covid, and and it is good still, heavy steel frame, good UV resistant net and fabric, hitting tee is better than most I see.

It even came with a dozen baseballs, which have identical stitching to the rawlings balls. Not quite the same cover material, but decent grip. They were so close that I had to measure them and they were within a tenth of millimetre and a couple tenths of a gram of the rawlings balls. Whatever is in them is a touch softer so they don't quite pop off the bat as far, but for hitting into the net and pitching, they work well.

Also their pop up sun and rain shelter is well made, I've seen a coupe at sports events.

I ordered a vevor under hood work light yesterday. One that spans the width of the hood and hooks over each side. I'm sick of struggling with my magnetic lights. Ill start a new thread on it if it's any good. It was around $64.

Bought it through Amazon, so if it's total junk, it will go right back.

I bought the wife their 7 cubic foot garden cart:

Vevor garden cart

For $150 (at the time), it works great. It was $50-75 less than seemingly identical carts that were available locally.

We have the same wagon, and it's great! That's the only product I've purchased from Vevor, but I might try one of their vacuum sealers in the future.

Just got my Vevor extendable under hood rechargeable floodlight today. Model MX-5087. I am impressed with the finish and feel of it. It's got some heft to it and feels sturdy when you unfold/fold it. Nice padded adjustable hooks. It is bright @ 2300LM's. It has 3 levels of brightness with each press of the power button. USB rechargeable. I'll be putting it to work sometime soon when I swap out the vacuum pump in my 2021 Chevy Equinox LYX 1.5 as preventative maintenance.

I was wondering about their stuff. Suddenly it's everywhere.

 

[cptbarkey]

I've bought quite a few Vevor things the past few years, chop saw, plasma cutter, bandsaw, socket sets, ultrasonic cleaners, tractor seats, all have been great. I've been buying their supposed offbrand succebuy (everything has been vevor branded) on aliexpress lately which gives an even deeper discount vs their own retail site.

I've watched this guy for awhile, seems to know tools. His experience with the company wasn't great.

I'm adding his story to my long list of reasons to only own corded tools.

I'm adding his story to my long list of reasons to only own corded tools.

He needs a Vevor violin to accompany his crying. He partnered with a super sketchy company and agreed to shill their junk because he wanted a kickback. Now he's annoyed because the super sketchy company was super sketchy with him. But he was fine with pushing their junk on the masses when he thought they were paying him.

Bummer he's got health problems and can't afford a car. Bummer YT didn't turn him into a Kardashian. I'm sure he's a victim of some bad luck but we know from results he also makes bad choices because he partnered with Vevor in the first place. Take some responsibility.

I will probably never buy anything from Vevor but I did buy a belt file for $28 from Amazon. I figured if it did a few jobs and burned out it was worth it, I have used the backside of that thing and it has been great, no belt wandering, slipping or stalling but it does get very warm after long use but it doesnt seem bothered by it.
I buy belts disc and other abrasives from Empire, the zirconia and ceramic belts are fantastic, they don't break even under prolonged use, fit very well and wear like iron.

That belt file is great! If I didn't hate cords so much I would use it instead of my M12. I just order the 3M Cubitron belts.

I keep the M12 in my daily cart now because I seem to pull it out once a day for tiny touch-ups on all kinds of things, even with basic auto repair. I can't even describe all the little ways it comes in handy, kinda like a pocket knife

I was looking at the Wen cordless, if it holds up as good as this one it should be fine and $80 with battery and charger its a bargain.
My wife has a Wen 18v little chain saw for pruning, it has been going like a champ for over 2 years now. Definitely not top tier stuff but more than good enough and not top tier money but it does have a chain oiler that even the high priced $200 Stihl doesnt have.
