At the risk of sounding old, how have we allowed acceptable values to become so low? Organ are a reputable company, so are the needles knock-offs or are Organ now at the same low low standard of garbage we've come to expect from so many other manufacturers? It's depressing to keep hearing of people buying stuff that just doesn't work. In the future will it be impossible to buy anything that actually works?

Not good enough. Manufacturers are going out of their way to shaft us all and not even provide a basic level of quality in a product (that the things they take our money for actually work, don't shred thread, don't kill us etc).
