And talking about "sexy female engineers"…
Paraphrasing the famous metaphor, Do not be so open so your vagina falls out.

Lots of places stray flecks of moltem solder would love to go. >:D Soldering in shorts is bad enough...

I do all the time.  I only wear long pants if I have to go out on a service call.  It doesn't hurt for long and the hair always grows back.

Their other product photos are similarly hilarious.
Look carefully at the chart that shows the load limitations. It looks like they're using PMPO ratings...

I still wouldn't, you don't know what kind of chemicals were present in the factory.

 :wtf: :-DD  :-DD. That is hilarious but there must be some cultural influence here. We have this sort of blatant sexual marketing here too but with other industries, not so much electronics (at least not much today). Any field that is predominantly male will see this used as click bait to attract attention, but seems distasteful and probably offensive to some.

Here are some pretty bad ones from days gone by from the West:

I don't know if these have been featured yet as this is a long thread (and I haven't checked every image), but I found a few today that also make you wonder, what were they thinking????  :-DD

This lady is wearing plenty of protective gear but is otherwise exposed...


Good thing he is looking at where his probes are going, because it takes 2 people to measure a mains socket... (the other stock images in this group of photos has him not even looking what he's probing)...


 :-DD   :-DD   :-DD    :-DD
This elderly couple is measuring a hard-drive, I can't even explain this one...  :palm:


And here we are checking a remote control car by probing the front shock and the engine heatsink around the piston?

I have located the manual...

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B3_g_9Xy4kF9c2F3aHFVWHBTSk0&export=download

...the girls are only on the cover. The inside is far more mundane. Power Jack seems to use them a lot in its advertising... but its products apparently don't work so well.

So, basically, they sell you the girls and give you an inverter.

That's a scam.

The pictures are fun, but are we just discovering that advertisement is mostly a deceptive practice? ;D

If this thread were a coffee table book with the same title, I'd suggest this image for the book cover.

I think they are both in the jacks, that's an 830 meter and the angle just hides the black one.
