A bit of info for the doubters, and some support for Nin. I have a business contact that can get anything copied in China. For example, how about MANN, Bosch, oil filters copied to the exact metallurgy of the can and even the exact amount of folds of filter media. I would only cost me one container, or 5k us to have these done. In other words, all I would have to do is buy 5k in product, oh, how much would be my cost??? 60 us cents a piece.

I can get the German filters for $4.50 a piece. I'm lucky in that I can get a lot of parts for wholesale prices but still, I'm not that cheap. These motors are not easy to find and aren't cheap to rebuild. I'm going to stick with trusted brands. While I do believe they can produce the same quality as a Bosch or Garett product, where I have my doubts is if they will do so consistently over time, or if the quality will decline once you stop actively monitoring their operations.
