Here’s a new product 2018 – GP Pointer 2 TRX SHRXY. Can you give us your expert opinion on whether this probe is a fake copied-in-China White’s TRX? Or does it simply look like the pinpointer from the American manufacturer and it’s a random coincidence? And another thing I have wondered about: the novelty looks better that the original! Let’s see how it works…
