It’s something that happens all over the world, and it’s a challenge that major brands and manufacturers face every day.
For us, on one level, there’s a certain degree of flattery. Why not? Profiler+ ® is a great product, and someone went to the trouble of trying to copy it. They clearly invested a lot of time and effort, but without understanding how to write.
In fact, this is a violation of our intellectual property and cheats future consumers if they buy a counterfeit that doesn’t work. Profiler+ ® was engineered and designed based on first-hand experience. The “copy” is a poor imitation that writes with no accuracy whatsoever.
Our goal is always to celebrate exceptional craftsmanship and build a community of talented people who share their work so that everyone can admire and enjoy it. This stems from an appreciation for detail and precise craftsmanship. This can only be achieved by using the finest materials and tools in the hands of the most talented artisans.
Profiler+ ® was created in the United Kingdom and continues to be manufactured here, with its creator, Gary, overseeing and monitoring production. As a company, Profiler+ ® remains true to its values and its customers.
Fake websites and social media campaigns promote counterfeit products made somewhere in China. Some sellers stick around for weeks or months; others disappear as soon as customers start complaining.
We are seeing more and more counterfeit tools similar to ours and are working hard to remove what we can. To ensure you are purchasing the Profiler+ ® The Ultimate Scribing Tool, please check our list of authorized dealers.
Let’s continue doing what we do best: providing the highest standards of workmanship and manufacturing and assembling quality tools for you.
