Cheap things no Good........

Cheap things, no good.
Good things, no cheap.

Heard that one before? Well, more often than not, its now very true. And with the explosion of China-made goods for the past decade, its proven. Many times you would have bought a cheap item only to find out its really "cheap" indeed. Or maybe, the copy of the original item has more features but somehow, the experience is still "cheap". I am sure you have bought a torchlight which has a built-in rechargeable system complete with mains pins, a built-in screwdriver and ....... a compass. (However, if you have bought a solar cell torchlight, I do not want to talk to you.) Yes, its wonderful idea and it sure is a marketing coup. But when you start to use it, I am sure you know how it feels in your hand.

Anyway, in their defense, not all products are suspect. It all depends on the control or who manufactures it and how the quality issues were dealt with. But as the end user, we are responsible in choosing which brand to use. Sometimes, it would escape even the most stringent inspection but thank goodness, for our case, the product holds. In other words, apart from checking your receipts, do make sure you check your purchase before and after the counter.

Have you ever seen this cable before?
If you know what the problem was,
would you have bought it anyway?
