    Simple answer tools offered for sale by some bloke on a site will 99% of the time be shonky or stolen. I used to work with a bloke who always boasted about how cheap he could get tools and some had postcodes etc ground off. I laughed in his face when his van got turned over and he was heartbroken about it. If he hadnt encouraged some junkie to nick others tools there wouldnt be a market and he wouldnt have had his nicked.

    I know a guy who bought a circular saw for a tenner.I told him "you know that's been nicked from someones van right?".He just grinned and was happy with his purchase

    Until; his van got broken into ....he didn't think it was funny then.Those that buy stolen tools are as bad as the people that steal them

    fake or real tell the * to *
    buy it new from a shop or from someone you know bought it genuine

    if you buy dodgy gear your nothing but a thief yourself

    sorry if it sounds a bit harsh but unfortunately its true
