I cant find this products anywhere, except aliexpress.
I asked Quick, but I received no answer.

So maybe this is originbal Quick product, but they does not upgrade their own website?....

then is seems this "quick 861 pro" is a chinese made model, only copying the original quick models
if it is not available on reputable sellers like eleshop, then it's certainly not genuine !
at around the same price (look at other models of quick on eleshop) I wouldn't buy out of europe...

Looks the same as Quick TR1300A but with a different display. I don't think it's a clone. Note that Quick has multiple regional websites with different list of models. Also they have poor search optimization, so rarely appear in search results.

Where do you think Quick is from??
I was under the presumption that Quick is a Chinese company with more than 3 decades on its back, and these days one of the biggest soldering tool-companies in China, if not the biggest.

So no real worries in the fact that a Chinese company is also getting their products made in China .. Its more or less the norm when it comes to Chinese products as they optain a lot of system-headwind from staying regional  ;D.. Chinese companies tend not to outsource production, as we love to do here in the West, like there is no tomorrow.
