Hmm. I’m assuming like every other sector there are lots of fakes of dubious quality that are virtually indistinguishable from real ones except they break much more easily.
Unless you’re buying from Leatherman directly you have a much greater chance of getting a fake that’s priced high but made cheaply with inferior materials to scam people. Just try and get a real SD card on Amazon. Probably 60% or more fakes for the big name ones and huge profits for the criminals.
And the countries you mentioned can produce quality products if the company ordering the products cares enough to demand it and reject anything substandard.
See Apple. But you better believe they have QC experts at every level and if the suppliers don’t deliver they’ll never see another dime from Apple.
I have a Free P4 and feel it’s on par with their earlier products.
That said you can always smell the influence of an MBA screwing stuff up for an otherwise good company to “make them more profitable”.
More companies need to tell these idiots to pound sand because their paper education is worthless.
The only good MBA is an unemployed MBA.
Got nothing for you. Good luck.
