Missing tools and no glue

First of all I understand that the seller is telling you to watch the video because he doesn't give any instructions. So I watched the online video and bought the product from the seller because the photos in the ad were everything I needed. When I received the goods, I saw that two metal tools were missing and there were only blue plastic tools. The blue plastic tools broke very quickly with normal use and I had to improvise and use different things from my toolbox to get the job done, making the job a lot harder than it needed to be. When I removed the film from the screen to stick it on the tablet, I saw that there was no glue or adhesive strips on the screen that some videos use. At the moment you can't return the product because the add-on says "Once the film is removed from the screen, you can't return it." Back in the garage, I settled on clear silicone. I shouldn't be surprised that Chinese product manufacturers care less about quality and don't think about shipping products with missing tools and critical parts. I assume they know there is no glue and to avoid returns they don't ask for return after the film peels off. After spending 2 hours looking for ways to work around the missing tools and glue, I was able to install the new screen. It's typical decoy and transition with images in the ad showing one thing and you get another - so beware of this seller.
