Exposed: Dangers of Fake Wago vs. Genuine Wago 221

[@rdebije]

Without measuring resistance and melting point we still don't know which is better.

kinda skipped the most important one. can it handle the current its rated for. if its rated for any.

i loved and support these tests but i have to agree with this comment. I like to test things by my own curiosity and i've unnecessarily installed exactly those fakes, ops, i mean, unbranded wagos that the video shows on the outlet of a eletrical water heater that reaches 7500w, 220v and it's been almost a year still not showing that it might melt or something like that, specially considering it's on the edge of it's capacity in terms of Amp. Yet, I only use these not-wagos to install lights, switches and quite often led tapes.

Don’t be fooled by the unbranded ones, they’re not fake they are made by the Chinese manufacturers. eFIXX had one of the sales reps from wago uk on their lives show a couple of years ago and he openly said that wago are made in Germany china America Uk Holland and Australia. 90% off the stuff we buy is made in china, they print different brands on some and don’t brand some that why the unbranded is cheaper. And sometimes better
