Every handyman knows the value of good tools. But good tools usually cost a ridiculous amount of money. A 200 euro cordless drill and screwdrivers for two euros are more the rule than the exception. That’s why I will tell you what tools AliExpress has to offer.
AliExpress tools: good idea or no?
Good value for money. It’s a phrase often heard when you’ve got something on the cheap side. Of course, AliExpress is no different. An expensive Bosch cordless drill of 200 euros will probably be more powerful and last longer than an AliExpress drill of 30 euros.

I just don’t think you can necessarily say that one is better than the other, and that you have to look at your own use of the tools. Of course it’s handy to have tools around in case something breaks. Do you need to tighten a screw once a month? Then you will probably prefer to go for cheap tools. Are you a handyman and do you have to do all kinds of antics every day to repair complex appliances? You get the idea: a screwdriver of 20 euros will quickly pay for itself in terms of life span and convenience.
So, should you buy tools on AliExpress or not? I would mainly look at your own situation. Do you just want a toolbox ‘just in case’ or as a starter kit for your children? Then just buy something cheap and use it for certain (emergency) cases. Are you looking for tools to give your house a complete renovation and will the material be used intensively? Then just go for good tools that you don’t need to replace so quickly.
It also depends a bit on what kind of tools you buy on AliExpress. Glue guns or other materials where little can go wrong, are of course fine to use. Tools with a built-in battery, on the other hand, are sometimes a different story. If you need to use a cordless drill for days on end, it’s nice to have power all day long. You can go for a more expensive drill, but you can also order more batteries on AliExpress.
