> Aliexpress does not do such stuff Seriously, what in the hell are you smoking? On Aliexpress a search for “milwaukee power tools” the top 100s of results are for clear counterfeits ($50 for an high torque impact wrench is not real, dude), some “compatible” battery replacements (ie cheap crap that Rossman complains about) or some used tools from consolidators of questionable repute (a 90% rating on Ali is really bad). Gosh man, I love Ali for what it is, but if you don’t know it’s a cess pit of counterfeiters with gamed search rankings and mostly fake reviews you are extremely naive. > technical parts are more likely to be upto specs. Bullshit. There’s considerable overlap between the two in the marketplace. You think the shitty suppliers are just limiting themselves to Amazon and avoiding Ali? Aliexpress has less oversight than Amazon. Why would the QC on Aliexpress be better? Rossman’s offhand remark is a bit of hyperbole. It’s also a bit silly. He laments the lack of trusted brands on Amazon and the mass of crappy ones. But the trusted brands are still there, Amazon still carries tons of brand name products. It’s true their search prioritizes crappy things as the marketplace is overrun by shear volume, but this is no where near as bad as Ali. I don’t know why you or Rossman think Ali is somehow better about product quality, but you’re both full of shit on this point. > Milwaukee also have official store on aliexpress. If they do (and I doubt it, since everything you’ve said is detached from reality), it is not available in North America, so not very useful to me or the majority of Amazon’s customers. Or do you actually believe the “Milwaukee Tool Store” selling $50 impact wrenches is official? Moreover most of their products that are clear counterfeits (the shells look legit but they completely phone it in on the control pads) in customer photos have close to 5 star ratings. Yeah, no manipulation going on there. Amazon is nowhere near that bad.
