Know what you are buying and from whom are you dealing with. Our sales manager was in a gun store recently and they brought in a new brand of cleaning products mostly because the guy claimed they were a local company. I looked them up and within seconds I saw that they are located on the other side of the country. Liars! Don’t be fooled. Even a simple question like where are you located shouldn’t require deception.
Watch out for new brands that show up whether it be in stores or even online exclusively and most importantly, those promoted on social media.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Is there any other information on these products or the company
2.
- Can they verify anything they claim or is it copies from an existing company or simply generated though ai
3.
- Does the product label look suspiciously amateurish.
4.
- Did you notice their website or posts don’t provide any specifics on the product, as in:
- What it’s made of, or
- What it does
- Certified test data
- Endorsements from real people vs. generic initials
5.
- Does the product look identical to something else you’ve seen.
- Same packaging
- Same smell or appearance
6.
- Does the product label even list an address or a hazmat warning.
- That’s required by law, a sure sign of a poser
As a real chemical manufacturing company, it is frustrating for us to see deceptive product marketing if not the items themselves.
Tetra Gun care has been around since the 1980s.
Tetra Gun invented synthetic fluoropolymer gun lube.
Tetra Gun is manufactured in our own facilities both in North Carolina and New Jersey.
Tetra Gun is owned by Engineered Materials Inc. which is a registered U.S. defense contractor.
All of the Tetra Gun care chemicals – lubes and cleaners – are formulated and produced right here. Do not assume all firearm lubes are Made in USA. If you look on Amazon, if it’s true, the top selling products in the category are all made overseas with brand names that literally don’t exist anywhere else.
We have so many gun lube and gun cleaners come and go as quickly as they appear. Getting excited about every flavor of the month just isn’t a good idea. Be careful. It matters.
