How to Spot Fake Mr Li Picks: A Guide

In today's market, the threat of counterfeit products is a growing concern, especially for quality items like Mr. Li's picks. As an authorised dealer with a long-standing relationship with Mr Li, we understand the importance of ensuring you receive genuine, high-quality tools.

Unfortunately, counterfeit Mr. Li picks have become a significant issue. These fake picks are copied from Mr. Li’s hard work, poorly made with inferior material, and may break on your next critical job. They are also often accompanied by false verification labels, misleading you into thinking you are purchasing the real thing.

Here’s how you can protect yourself and make sure you're purchasing authentic Mr. Li picks:

Look for the Official Mr Li logo

Always look for the official Mr. Li face logo. This logo is a hallmark of authenticity and quality. All Mr. Li picks prominently feature this logo, ensuring you purchase a product that meets rigorous standards.

Check the Official Verification Label

In addition to the Mr Li logo, all authentic Mr Li picks come with an official label featuring a red band and a unique verification code. This label is your assurance that the product you’ve bought is legitimate and has passed quality control standards set by Mr. Li himself.

Here’s what to look for on the official verification label:

  • A red band around the label.
  • A unique verification code that can be checked for authenticity.
