Totally agree. I posted that article as an eye opener to anyone that thinks Amazon is a great place to buy your stuff. A lot of what they sell (not everything) is either outright counterfeits of legitimate brand named products or Chinese Copy Crap sold under names you never heard of.

Buyer Beware has never been more appropriate.

I am sure the pictures and description of the hose in that article looked like the good stuff but it would have burned their car to the ground, possibly with them in it. panic Sometimes cheap copies work fine and other times not so much.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
