I came across this company supplying my contractor with fasteners on a big project.
These guys basically buy these sweat shop fasteners, don't get any code approvals or testing, and then sell these things for cheap.
They are basically chinese fakes, no racial disrespect intended (sorry SJW's).
Unfortunately, you discover them on your job after a question comes up about their use....so heads up to anyone doing work in the western US.
It would be good to put a note on your plans saying that all fastener must be ICC-ES approved.
