There's a pawnshop in my area that has a ton of older used tools, but there's also an entire 10' wall with 100% brand new dewalt and milwaukee cordless tools. Beside that, there's a glass case of all brand new batteries for them still in package. I suspect they're all fakes or stolen from a big box store somewhere. There's no way a store like that should have tools like those
Told a kid at work weeks ago that if the deal seems to good to be true it probably is. If a certain tool normally sells for $450 but you were given a "deal" by some guy at a flea market and got it for $200 even in a legit box it probably is a knockoff..
The too-good-to-be-true priced tools (like all tools) can fail and then you have no warranty & no value. Just bought a red tool (I usually buy at a box store for easy return if any problems) from an authorized online seller because of better deal and the red tool lasted 2 days. Free shipping both ways back to red repair, and they just swapped it out for new tool (different serial number) along with some 'good will' goodies.
i bought a fake powerstak battery they seem to perform as good as the actual dewalt powerstak but are rated 2ah instead of1.7ah, they also cost significantly higher than fake 2ah using 18650 cells.
Where the hell is US Customs in this equation? What are these name brands doing to protect not only their name but their brand loyal customers from getting scammed? Granted the price difference but we shouldn't have to have an engineering or marketing degree to be safe in the market. The fakes and counterfeits should not be importable.
I recently purchased a fake FLIR thermal camera that was absolute junk (it indicated 500F different than the actual temperature, which I verified with two separate temperature reading devices I bought directly from Fluke), and a couple years ago, I noticed that one of my electricians had paid a hefty price for a βFrukeβ meter that looked exactly like a Fluke. All the labels and the fit and finish looked exactly like Fluke; however, I noticed the screen font was slightly different. When I opened his meter up it was clearly a deadly chicom knockoff. Both of these were purchased from Chinazon (Amazon). When it comes to anything over $100 I always buy it directly from the manufacturer so I do not get a well made knockoff.
You want a solid rachet and cheap gp with workpro hasnt fsiled me im 3 years on continuous use just dont try to manually break high torque bolts with it
The free market and internet made it possible for consumers to bypass 'authorised dealers' with their high margins. Buy funny enough I'm now more and more inclined to just pay the high prices at authorised dealers just to make sure I get the real thing.
this goes for tools but even more so for car oil filters etc.
ok, lets equate this to the guitar industry. in the 70's USA made was 'too expensive' (ie cant gouge the large profit margin) so manufacture went to japan. They eventually got good with production quality and wanted more money to make them. Then production to korea, they wanted more money then repeat to indonesia and then china. The first point I am making is there is a short term licence to make a 'genuine' product, which is a really a sanctioned fake (BUT only done when profit margin is good, yeah?). All these factories are left over but now are highly skilled making that intellectual property, But they lost their licence, so what will they do? hmmmm
Fast forward to today and there are store fronts on Chinese sale sites, who subcontract manufacture of a product to a 'dude in a shed' who does his best to make a counterfeit. The second point I am making is the difference between officially licensed and counterfeit is the level of quality assurance checking. There are 'guitar shaped objects' in the market and there are 'musical instruments'
Before I knew Makita was a real brand, I saw them on wish and thought they were a knockoff of Milwaukee. Now, I own exclusively real Makita brand tools.
EBay has plenty of sellers with Chinese knock offs, but they donβt care as long as someoneβs paying them their share. They claim to stop people when found out but they soon start up again, itβs a joke.

π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«it would be nice if you sorted the best of the fakes that are worth buying as most power tools you pay for the brand (over the odds)and a lot of buyers that are not commercial want a cheap tool that work.
Many manufacturers are known for making products under contract and licensed, and one their contracts are fulfilled, they continue manufacturing the same product under no- brand or new names. They are indistinguishable from the original brand name product and sold many times cheaper

Cheap, fake & counterfeit tools trick you with decent performance ….but they get you with having no longevity.
Your channel is absolutely effing badass!!!!
!!SUBSCRIBED!!
I used to work in a tv repair shop. There are many counterfeit electronic components coming from China. They sell used parts that are relabeled.
π€£ If you buy it from AliExpress, it ships from China, and you still aren't sure if it's counterfeit or not, well…….π€£
Pretty scary when you are counterfeiting $90 items.
Have to buy from HD or Lowes or Amazon direct or long term proven sellers.

I am afraid to order 18v dewalt batteries

I don't think that is a dcf845 at 12min. Any prize for catching that π

I call the fake M18 stuff MilWOKee

china doesn't care anymore. There is no accountability. How is it so hard to find the people selling these and prosicuting them?

$200 tool for $25 on temu. Dewalt impact is $250 before tax.. but you can get it for $30
I wonder if thicker gage wire would help the counterfeit Dewalt.
I thought China owns Milwaukee so how are the considered fake and why are they so bad π€π€

Who do you think makes all these counterfeit products, the Chinese
Not Just Fake but Counterfeit Power Tools? Does that mean they lied and also didn't tell the truth??

Noticed my batteries from home depot a dewalt XR 5ah battery made in Korea was too yellowish/orange compared to my older pure mango yellow batteries..

The manufacturers of all counterfeit products need to be sued and jailed. Itβs defrauding all purchasers on the planet.
Why I stopped buying klein tools on amazon. I have 2 fakes…. When you use said tools for decades, its easy to tell.
Love your commentary…funny, engaging, fabulous!
You should have different table for fakes, they are missing reliablity
Just go to harbor freight

That fake Dewalt impact is not too shabby for less than 1/2 the price of a real one.
same factory btw
Are fakes not contrerfeits?
the amazon power stack prices go crazy
Ryobi is the only real brand that performs worse than counterfeit lol.
If you really strain your ears, you can just about hear the sound of no one giving a damn.
