"Doesn't sound particularly risky except the sand was full of asbestos...."

Hahaha, excellent! That's definitely 1 way of getting rid of your (unwanted) asbestos!

Almost as good as those dolls they were selling on Vinted, I think it was.   Dead

And here, there was a warning the other day for some (fake?) sweets for kids that were a choking risk. Then again, you shouldn't be giving your kids sweets in the 1st place!!  Evil Smile LOL Evil Smile

All in all; wouldn't use them for anything other than my own barbecuerig. but quite happy with it for that use. 

There's always some problem with knock off Speakons I've used. The screw heads round easily, the threads strip before the cable is tight enough, not coming with a reliable cable clamp... I would rather pay the difference for the real deal.

Yes - & no.    Smile

For installations, or places where the speakons aren't going to be plugged & unplugged constantly, the cheaper copies can be fine. Just don't over tighten!   LOL LOL LOL
