With over 60 years’ experience Garrett are one of the leading brands in metal detection products. Their products are well known, loved and respected, which makes them a target for counterfeiting & copying, so how do you know that your product is genuine?
In this video we look at the most popular metal detector wand in the world the “Garrett Superscanner” and how to make sure you only buy the genuine item.
Firstly, if you buy from Insight Security, this will guarantee your item is genuine as we only buy direct from Garrett, each of the wands you buy from us has its own unique serial number.
These numbers can be checked directly with Garrett for authenticity, often the fake wands will all have the same serial number and the actual build quality of the units are quite flimsy with thin cheap plastic that can easily be twisted.
The genuine article can be used for self-defence if the need arises, which gives you extra seconds of precious time during an emergency, this time would be dramatically reduced if you had to rely on a cheap fake copy to protect you.
The internal electronics of counterfeit copies is usually of poor quality which translates into low search sensitivity, often smaller metal items are missed with this reduction, no matter how close you hold the wand to the person.
The adage “if you buy cheap you buy twice” is very true with the counterfeit models we have seen, but this could also affect your life and the life of others if something is missed in a search.
