2nd prize: Electric brake bleeding device "ERS 5"

This cheap counterfeit does not comply in any way with the legal regulations for electrical and pressure devices: Dangerous wiring, impurities, a pressure regulator not suitable for brake fluid. The device is leaky, so that electrical lines are undermined - a blind plug prevents the equalization of negative pressure. The labeling is incorrect: "Aump" instead of "Amp" for Ampère. The imitator has taken an original photo of Manotec and merely retouched some of its control buttons. Due to the registered design protection, Manotec regularly has infringing online offers deleted.
