I saw this while shopping for an enclosure:

For those that don't recognize the picture (or if he removes it), this is an inside shot of Kal's awesome control panel.
I wrote Kal to make sure he was in the know about his pics being ripped off, and his response:

This company has a history of issues, including counterfeiting circuit breakers worth millions. Im surprised theyre still in business.

We no longer deal with them at all for any of our parts.

I've made a good number of purchases from him, including contactors, switches, indicators, etc...
I'm going to be taking my business elsewhere. We put a lot of time and effort into making sure our electrical breweries are well built and safe. The best design can still cause damage with faulty components though.
This is the first I've seen of counterfit parts from him, so I'm guessing that others are also unaware. Just wanted to point it out so you can all make informed decisions when you buy.
Many thanks to Kal for pointing this out, and for his whole website.
