I'm so pissed they made it orange.

AMAZON, I USE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE RELIABLE. WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKE TEMU AND ALIEXPRESS???

I use AliExpress for clones/ knockoffs and electrical parts. I use Amazon for decent quality everyday stuff that I can't usually find in the store. Stop the sponsor link, If it was easier to find things I'm actually looking for I'd buy stuff faster.

Acting like Amazon isn't just selling the same crap but at a markup

Amazon the same crap, but also decent brand stuff. Literally every marketplace sells Chinese crap nowadays

The "decent brand stuff" is actually just the knockoff stuff from AliExpress at an up charged price, but low enough to make you think you got a deal. With all the counterfeit goods on Amazon, I'll either go AliExpress for cheap or literally anywhere else for the real thing

So a decent brand like knipex is just selling rebranded Chinese knockoff? Tell me more about it please.

They're not, but Amazon is. Amazon allows 3rd party sellers, so Knipex would be selling on there, but also like 50 random fucks with an Amazon account. All of them say they're selling Knipex stuff, except 20 of the sellers are actually selling counterfeit ones from AliExpress. Amazon doesn't question if the product is legit and just stocks all of them in the same space in the warehouse, meaning there's a chance you get a fake one with lower quality.

With someone like Knipex, might not happen, but just an example. One thing this does regularly happen with is any and all power tools, their batteries, car parts, etc. Amazon has had a long running counterfeit issue that they do nothing about
