Fake DeWalts

[smorgasbord]

This British fellow buys a fake DeWalt on purpose to compare to a real DeWalt that he also buys - only to find out that his "real" DeWalt is actually also a fake for which he paid full price!



Hopefully, Festool won't be getting that popular that fakes start cropping up....

This YouTube video not only exposes the fakes, but does a performance comparison with the real versions. It seems that they found more fake DeWalts than Makita or Milwaukee and they found that the fakes were pretty convincing.

I have only seen fakes like this for Mitutoyo digital calipers.
Apparently, the fakes work well enough, as far as accuracy. The big downfall is battery life, the fakes devour them.
