I use amazon as much as I can, but I would never trust their supply chain with my life or my health. I don't think I would ever buy such an item on their website, nor anything I would apply to my skin or ingest. Even if they displayed a model suitable for climbing, how would you know it is guenine?
The counterfeit problem is real. Like half of their intel 10gbe NIC are counterfeit (I know because a Synology NAS will only work with a guenine model).
- oasisbob 7y agoAgreed. Amazon has lost my trust here. But, that being said... With climbing gear, it seems to be less about counterfeits, and more about shady manufacturers / knockoffs with illegitimate safety certifications. Hot forging takes a lot of work and tooling. I'm not sure there's ever been true counterfeit climbing hardware in the wild.
