[Painful Chafe]

They had the Tiablo A9 for sale for $44 and free shipping. I sent a couple of emails asking them if it is a genuine Taiblo A9 since they admitted had some trouble in the past with some counterfeits and there site is very similar to DX. They assured me two times that they were genuine. I figured I had a 90-100% chance of getting a fake, but for $44 even the fake isn't a bad deal. I decided to roll the dice and see what happens.

Here are the two replies to my emails from "Andy"

I got the package a week and a half later. I opened it wondering how good of a fake Tiablo A9 it was. But, I didn't expect this:

I guess they are similar in size and shape. :shakehead:oops:

OMG!!! At least a RaidFire Clone is made by the same factory!!! I only own one Ultrafire(a 3xQ5) and I have to say it is actually a pretty good light,it has taken a lot of abuse and is still running!Good beam pattern too.If they claim it's from Tiablo's factory-they may be telling the truth.Several flashlight companies use the same manufactures.How is the beam pattern-does it seem like a good light for the money? If your disappointed,ask for a refund.This is obviously not what you were expecting!

Not all the pictures show but this is best suited at the CPFMP anyways...

Not the "best bang for the buck" right...?
