some other deans are better!
well, just to add, i have bought the authentic deans at $5 dollars a pair 7 years ago and i have recently bought the 'copy' hk dean nylon version with grips for 10 pairs for around 4 plus SGD. sad to say the original ones are not as heat resistant as the hk nylon version while soldering.
just a slight touch from the solder iron on the original will cause it to melt and form a depression. the 'copy' hk one will resist melting and will only have some black marks without getting a depression after more than 5 seconds of intentional contact when i first tested them.
resistance of the metal plates are about the same using a fluke multimeter.
i have never had a problem with the hk nylon ones so it isn't a fair statement to say all 'fakes' are lousy. But be wary, friend ordered the deans from another source (without grips) and they are the super lousy ones which will melt very easily! 'fake'!

anyway if they are shiney plastic.........then not real. you'll also notice the fake ones melt and contacts move position when you try to solder them. very annoying"To invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something. But to fly is everything."- Otto Lilienthal

In order to reduce the chances of the connector get melted and move its contacts, one should insert in a mating connector before the soldering, and removing the mating connector after the soldering is completed. That is if you are soldering a male connector, insert a female connector into the male one, and vice visa. In this way, even if the connector get melted a little, the contacts will not be moved as the opposite connector will hold them (the metal contacts) in place.Everyone has to start this hobby as newbie.
