Post by: MMR on October 11, 2018, 12:25:40 PM
I was just browsing through Aliexpress and spotted this:

LM Skeletool Copy

Looks like it has spring loaded pliers and I am curious about the quality of their 2D bit driver and the bit....and if it would fit any real LM 2D bits

Also interesting how they included a saw. I will say that my experience with tools that are held together with small screws (like this skeletool copy) are not exactly great, usually if dropped (even just from a hips height) on any hard surface; they just fall apart

Gerber suspension copy
(New post since only 4 attachments are allowed pr. post)
I just want to say I don't own a Gerber Suspension, but from the pictures it looks very typical of a knock-off MT, not the worst I have ever seen though

Looks very typical of the no-name MTs that you can find in must larger Outdoors and Fishing stores, or no-name Mts included in various "Survival Kits" or "Starter packages"

For some reason, the Chinese seem to prefer using hand models with really disgusting, long fingernails  >:(

I don't doubt it...I can't imagine nor would I have any expectations about these being "high quality" or on pair with the tools they are copying .....nothing screams "quality product" like, no brand name, a laughably bad English description of the products, some pictures being clear others being blurry / pixilated, and a price tag that is almost 1/10 of the genuine product they are copying.  :rofl:

Actually the price of this is not really cheap.. Pay another perhaps $10 more u could get an authentic used skeletool in pretty decent condition. Depending on where u might be..
