Counterfeit Mitutoyo Calipers

[gmr4]

Purchased Mitutoyo on Amazon and found the set is fake. I called Mitutoyo helped verify and they said they can't stop it... some of the Mitutoyo sold on Amazon are real... anyway these fakes look good but are NOT real. Be careful.

And the name of the vendor on Amazon is???

Tell me more.

I’m pretty sure you can return them. My wife has returned a few things no questions asked and free return shipping.

Thanks for the heads up! That is disturbing that even calipers are being faked.

You can return them I'm certain, I've done it several times. I had a counterfeit item come from Amazon a couple weeks back. It was to be a Christmas gift for my daughter. Amazon refunded me the money, didn't ask me to send back the cheap fake, and suspended the seller.

We are trying to find the seller again. I actually went to the Mitutoyo Store on Amazon during my search but the item shipped from someone different.. it just says warehouse 2 on package.

So what's the problem with sending them back? You bought them from Amazon. Just send them back!

Yep, just go to your Amazon orders find that one, click on Return or Replace Items and then tell them they are fake, which is why you are returning them. Done deal.

Buy top shelve cry once, buy cheap cry twice

Amazon is full of Chinese copies and such especially fishing gear.

price is the first warning, but theres plenty of video on u-tube how to spot the fake. battery, box, instructions.

Best place to get the CORRECT battery is Grainger. thats a whole other hole to go down.

Very glad this video was posted. I have a 6" on the way from a vendor on Amazon that was shipped to me today. I believe I can now quickly spot a fake!

 

[Larry Koch]

If Amazon is the vendor and over 100 dollars you should get the real McCoy.

I bought Denso iridium spark plugs from Amazon. Counterfeit. Couldn’t believe it!

The best bet for purchasing metrology tools and machine tooling is from a local machine tool dealer.

Were they accurate? Some of the Chinese knock offs are very good for the price.
I remember the day that everyone said “I wouldn’t buy that, it’s made in Japan.” Now Japanese is considered top tier.

 

[tommeboy]

been going on for a long time. report them and send them back to amazon

 

[TSFineGuns]

I'm gonna be honest.....After clicking on this thread I ran down to my reloading room, grabbed my Mitutoyo Caliper, and watched that YouTube video with mine here in front of me.

Pfew. Mine is legit.
