tauzero Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I bought a couple of what were supposedly Hercules GSP38WB Plus wall hangers off Ebay - they were slightly cheaper than buying off Amazon and I'm not putting money into Jeff Bezos's insatiable pockets. However, when they arrived, they turned out to be Chinese copies [1] called Galux GH-110W. Very similar to the Hercules ones but I don't know how trustworthy they are. As the Aliexpress listing for them says they're "zinc alloy", I feel quite disinclined to hang anything heavy or valuable from them. [1] I'm aware that the Hercules ones themselves are probably made in China Quote

Obrienp Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago What @neepheid said. I have found that genuine Hercules products are not as reliable as they used to be but trusting a knock-off seems a step too far. Quote

That's what I'm doing - looking closely at the photos which should show whether it's genuine (the photos on the fake one show what you're getting but I was just going off the auction title, not realising there were fakes going around).
