Almost certainly not. Having worked in a Chinese products importing roll

Quite. Only need to look at modern 'Lucas' products like replacement
distributors. Look much the same until you open them up. But then they are
cheap, and you generally get what you pay for.


Unfortunately many poor quality Chinese copies are being sold at near
genuine item prices, particularly by online sellers. I'm fed up with
trying to buy decent quality by paying a higher price only to receive crap!

My sales team use a particular style of swivelling iPad cases. They last
about a year before the corners break from the case. I spotted a more
expensive different make that offered the same features so ordered one.
I received a far inferior product despite paying a higher price!

It went back.
