I got one over 10 years ago from Aliexpress, but I don’t recall the vendor. I chose a vendor who didn’t necessarily have the cheapest price but had a lot of positive results. It arrived quickly via DHL and worked right out of the box. I don’t find the menus that difficult but you have to learn which systems particular settings are associated with, something a little exploring will help with along with the online resources. I got an extra cable because I thought those connectors with so many pins could eventually be a trouble spot but I have yet to use the extra cable. I have used it on 9-5s and 9-3s and figure it paid for itself a long time ago. I agree that they probably all come from the same factory in China and I handle mine with care not knowing the quality of the construction. It always boots immediately and has never had a problem. Of course, the computers and phones we all use come from China as well. I see “genuine” used Tech 2s for. sale online but I would be hard presses to say they were truly genuine since the clones look identical.
