Also the Earth leakage, probably over 300 single and 3 phase. 2 have crapped out. I strongly suspect they were abused though.

For the price I think they are really good.

Especially when people are cash strapped. Onesto earth leakage R200, CBI pretty much R600. Same SABS standard.

I don't use there contactors/motor starters often as I spend money on that kind of thing - Schnieder

Don't like Lear or Chint at all. Feels really poorly made.

One of the main reasons I do not use Onesto plugs and switches is because their corners are rounded.
They look crappy in a surface box because the corners of the boxes protrude.

They also look crappy if used to replace another brand if flush for the same reason. you have 4 ugly corners where they do not cover the paint line.
