I know I’m a little late seeing this but not wanting to step on their toes? I’d say that they already stomped on your feet. They ghosted you, put you in a bad spot with customers, and have never responded. Sell the Nicholson sensor, let  someone who actually cares about their product make some money, and have something to offer your customers.

It is a shame to not have an option for absolute pressure testing available from your site anymore. Are ya'll planning on selling either of these options or some other variant in the near future?


It is a sad thing.  But no.  No plans currently to get into offering any of these.  Unfortunate that Senx dropped the ball or we would still be offering the FLS...


Tom.......now there is something to make in retirement.........

I think Trevor has a slightly used plastic printer for sale

I hear you.  Not my call anymore but there were also patent issues that I did not want to get involved with.  The Senx behavior is still a complete mystery.  We were good customers of theirs for decades.  They are still selling them to other vendors.  Still bothers me that I don't know why this happened.  I can conjure up some conspiracy theories though...   Roll Eyes

Trevor, There is an old adage:  "Never put your mouth in gear until you start your brain"

I know that as a loyal subject of Autonerdz that I would not fail to start the brain.

Now lets look at Trade Marks....

That is another thing.... a trademark however needs to be maintained, but for long as it is maintained you have trademark protection.

Thus you cannot protect the idea of innovation forever or perpetually but you can given renewal protect what you call it.


But we already have a name that we can trademark dont we...."Brandon Look Sensor"  "BLS"

What about "NBS"........"No bullshit Sensor"

Logic, you confuse me.

Regardless, the trademarks and patents are live. I have no idea how certain entities are able to produce the equipment they do without being litigated. The market is flooded with knockoffs and copycats. I don't think this is an accessory I want to be involved in.

Interestingly enough SenX still lists us as a distributor but refuses to return the calls I made in 2020/21.

Various reasons come to mind, all leading to absence of prosecution.  Some of these reasons being the inpossibility to enforce rules/law in foreign places, lack of public interest/lack of manpower to enforce the law, economic interests/corruption, cultural differences and so on.

While the last decades have been characterized by reproaches to "the Chinese" to infringe copyrights in a mayor scale almost on anything little is known about that, from a different point of view, it's seen almost as a veneration: a really good thing is worth copying it. This has been done through centuries.

Fairly certain you can't get a Nicholson anymore.

If you read this thread thoroughly I am sure you will understand why.

I was afraid of that.  I just cannot get myself to spend the money on a first look when we have the BLS and others our there have them at a fraction of the cost.  Thanks for the response.
