Cosmetic blem ice screws?


Redoubt

Recommended Posts

Anyone know exactly what the blemishes are when you see, for example, BD Turbo cosmetic blems for $10-15 off? I can understand the claim that cosmetic flaws don't compromise the strength of a screw, but do they affect the functionality? Like scratches inside that might make it harder for ice to clear, or something wrong with the finish that affects how it actually screws in and out? What the hell are these "blemishes?"

No. I have a couple of "blemished" Turbo Expresses; the curved taper of the cutting surface has some slight "waves" it that reflect in the light, but otherwise you can't tell the difference, and they don't place any different from the non-blem items I have.

 

Just to be on the safe side, though, I'd make them fess up to what they mean by "cosmetic blems" when you buy them, just in case there's other reasons they might be selling them cheaper. Hope this helps.
