Good move, but don't assume that some branded product you buy is legit,
or of the quality associated with the name. From my experience with
representatives of major companies to the Standards Committee of the
Audio Engineering Society, I learned at least 20 years ago that some
mfrs of major bands of mics and connectors had problems with
counterfeits of their products. Mics didn't meet specs, connectors had
dimensional errors that caused failures with mating. Years before, I'd
seen reports of issues the aviation world had encountered with
counterfeit that endangered safety.
Over the past 3-5 years, I've bought household products online, and
often found replacements by brand were inferior to what I'd already
owned, or to product reviews. Neighbors and friends have reported
similar experiences.

as a result of viewoing it, I threw out all my Amazon purchased fuse
kits, and replaced them with Bussmann fuse kits...
