Lifeline Fittings on the Cheap?

I guess capitalism probably is a mystery to you too, then. Just because something is cheaply priced, does not mean that it can not do the job it is intended to do. If I have a choice between buying the same performing product for 3 or 4 times less, I will make that choice any day of the week. If you assign a value to paying *more* for a product, then all power to you.

At this point, I am still trying to figure out if the HF fittings are the same as Blue Wave/Suncor, or if not the same, perform the same. From what I gather Suncor does not manufacture their product, but merely assembles and packages them for distribution. I assume they obtain they're fittings from Blue Wave, who in turn either manufactures them in Denmark, or outsources to Asia. Basically Suncor is just another cog in the supply chain, just like Harbor Freight.
