We Hope You Don’t Pay a Lot for Those Knockoffs

January 4, 2024 by Fred Rowlands Leave a Comment

The Folding Morphing Knockoff Thing From the Internet

Knockoffs are the way of the world and, unfortunately, in today’s society if you have even a good product, someone somewhere WILL copy it. Some of these copies are good and sometimes even authorized, think the original Taurus model 92. But some are copies of a copy of a bad picture of something somebody on a Friday night booze-fueled design session dreamed up and put on a napkin.

Where do some of these things come from? Garfield talks about knockoffs, what makes one okay, and why some are just plain, bad. Then he shows one that exists in various places, with various names on the Internet, checks out the tools and quality of it and why he’s glad he didn’t pay a lot for that knockoff.
