There has been an incredible demand for Metal Detectors and their accessory coils over the past 12 months which has now seen the introduction of COUNTERFEIT products to the market.
This has meant that people wanting to use genuine products have been fooled into a purchase of counterfeit products which are poor performing and have no real worth. These counterfeit products are now very similar cosmetically but have very poor performance abilities and will not last or provide customer satisfaction.
Counterfeit COILTEK MANUFACTURING products are now in the market and have been sold via the black/grey market dealers, websites or individuals who are looking to make a quick sale.
