There are huge numbers of Dewalt knock offs being sold around my area.

Could be scan, could be fake products.

I quit trusting anyplace I can't walk into and many of them too.

That's what I'm thinking. You can't buy one of those batteries for 75 smackers.

The pueka.com website they link to is for sale so It sure sounds like a scam to me.

Found this online:

MyShopify is a legitimate platform provided by Shopify, the popular e-commerce company that powers thousands of online stores worldwide.

However, like any online platform, it’s essential to be aware of potential scams and do your due diligence when browsing or shopping on MyShopify sites.


So I would go forward with caution.

I would add the quote came from a site I had never heard of either.

I used to get ads offering to sell a dozen or more current model DeWalt or Makita power tools for like $89. Obvious scam. Their pictures were clearly taken at Lowe's. They had tons of bogus reviews. You could tell they were all written by the same person. They always had spoofed email addresses. When you hover over them it shows an obvious throw away address.


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