If something is popular, there will always be a knock off version. While I can’t speak for all industries, within the safety industry this means sacrificing product integrity for a cheaper version. A lot of these “steel tips” are actually aluminum which cannot effectively impact a window. The sound of aluminum on glass is 😬. I test safety products because so many people have fallen victim to these products. Always make sure your safety tools are tested by a third party #staysafe #safety #safetyfirst #safetytips #car #carwindow #dutchintheusa #psa #safetytools
