Has anybody noticed a decline in the quality of Mk accessories of late?
Where possible i stick with Hager but have used up my stock, sometimes its customer insist on Mk or Wylex as thats brands they know or already have and want it to match.
In the last month i have had several sockets with screws that would not move for love or money, so couldnt be used. these were replaced by the supplier no questions asked.
Also had light switches with various issues, some had screws in the terminals again not moving, they were off centre and jammed or too tightly fitted in the factory. had i applied any more tension to try to get it working the thing would have split.
Had 2 that just plain did not work, current wouldn't go through when switched on! Had another where there must have been a loose connection inside as it made the light flicker and created a buzzing sound when up close.... swapped switch out no flicker or buzz..
When in the suppliers they said they have had quite a few Mk bits returned recently... Makes you wonder if Mk have farmed out production to a third party and quality has gone out of window for profit...
Thankfully my stock of MK is now depleted
