Scubamax regulator vs Apeks. Huge difference in price...what about quality?

[ScubaERDoc]

Where are SP/Apeks/Hog actually manufactured? Yes I got the free parts for life

Apeks.....UK
HOG..... Taiwan
Scubapro..... Taiwan, Italy, Japan and probably US

I have a concern with private branded regulators made in China.
Who owns the engineering drawings and dimensional specifications used in the build?
Tooling wears out over time how does the USA distributor maintain quality controll?

Good question.
I think that if the Subcontractor is solely employed by one Company. The Contractor is liable.
Example: Foxxcon & Apple
In this case OSD is not Subcontracting only for HOG.. so I don't know.

HI ScubaERDOC. In the long run your better off with the Apeks and the reef does a good job and they are going to be around for a long time.
