Well-known foreign instruments and their Russian counterparts (no worse)

For a long time I was a fan of some foreign manufacturers of garden tools, and the inscription "Made in Russia" did not inspire any confidence in me. I especially liked the shovels of the company Fiskars, except that the lazy one did not write about them here. But few have tried their Russian counterpart, which is made in Kovrov (this is a small town in the Vladimir region).

By the way, here is my collection of Fiskars shovels:

Fiskars - shovels are not cheap, the average price for a snow one is ~ 1200 rubles.

But there is a cool Russian analogue of Fiskars (the point is in the next paragraph) - shovel Cycle- it costs about a third cheaper, in the region of 800-900 rubles in different cities.

But the most interesting thing is that it is no longer possible to find Finnish-made Fiskars in Russia. They are made.. in the city of Kovrov, Vladimir region, already known to us, at the same plant as the Cycle.

I think you understand what I mean ...

"Cycle" is made of the same plastic as the Russian Fiskars.

But the price tag is not raised for the brand, therefore it costs less, and the quality is the same. I checked, the third winter the very cheap shovel "Bogatyr" is working in the country and says hello.

These shovels are, in fact, sisters, cast in the same workshop.

Accordingly, there will be no more new additions to our collection of shovels from Fiskars.

As a buyer, I feel a little deceived - after all, this is not a Finnish production, but a Russian one. And there are the same shovels, but with a different logo, but for a lower price.

Well, you get the idea.
