I've always kept in mind "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is", and that phrase kept running through my head as I clicked around TEMU's website. A few examples:

- A cordless electric drill, powered by 48-v Lithium battery, for $29.49. (DeWalt colors, but the brand is "JSD-HOPE").
- An 18 pc. drill bit set for $7.11
- 12-pc. screwdriver set for $5.98

And so on.

To be sure this does not represent everything they sell and they do have some stuff that seems realistically priced. But if you're shopping for tools I'd be VERY leery of their "bargains". I'm pretty sure I've seen the same or similar stuff, with pricing about the same, at Harbor Freight.
