Here we go have a look at this video!! This is how convincing they are
Ah, yes, the highly sought-after Husqvarna two tones red-based paint scheme. The perfect saw to cut down that highly valuable walnut tree in the backyard sawmill owners want so badly they'll line up around the corner, cash in hand.
Sorry for the sarcasm but I need a laugh once in a while.
It reminds me of the counterfeit Iridium razor blades sold in countries like Turkey and India. Iridium was the premium razor double edge blade made by Procter & Gamble: 95% of the world still shave with DE blades and P&G wants a slice of the action, so they set up a factory in Russia, bought up some well-known old Cold War brands such as Ladas and Sputnik and created new ones such as Astra and Minora. Russian-made P&G blades are very very good and very cheap as well: Iridium quickly became the best selling brand worldwide because it was so good and cheap.
In a matter of a year the market was flooded with counterfeit Iridium blades. These things looked absolutely identical to the genuine article except for a small, and possibly intentional, spelling mistake on the P&G company address. And they were absolute junk: I am talking wet-your-underwear-because-of-the-pain junk.
These counterfeit Iridium blades became so prominent in all-important markets such as India they finally caused P&G to pull the brand because it was being destroyed by counterfeits.
Now think about this. A 100 pack of genuine Astra blades is about €15 in Europe (it's considerably cheaper in Turkey, Russia etc), meaning each blade is 15 cents, and neither P&G nor the bloke selling them are losing money on it. It means this stuff is unfathomably cheap. Yet somebody thought a good idea to clone it and probably made some money, albeit not much, from it.
A Husqvarna 365 is €800-850 plus VAT. A Stihl MS070 retails for the equivalent of a grand in countries like Nigeria and The Philippines. The margins become far higher, especially considering these Chinese clones are pure junk. Just don't tell the guy who praise them so highly. They are smarter than everybody else, you know.
