    Powerlock vs Blackfire

    Sorry to disappoint you Powerlock and Blackfire are NOT the same formula!
    Powerlock has given better results in several test.

    Since we did not formulate Menzerna Powerlock I cannot speak for the actual product, although I can assure you that it is not the same as Wet Diamond, unless super secret spies have broken into the store and stolen the golden ticket (the only known copy of BFWD`s chemical properties). To do this they would have first defeated Angelo (a former 007 with British Intelligence), sneak past Michael (who wields a mean broad sword) then passed down a 200 foot tunnel armed with over 600 laser rays and heat sensors (think Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible).

    This cunning individual would have to have the Kung Fu of Bruce Lee, the wit of Michael from Prison Break, and will power of The Gladiator. You might need the entire Ocean`s 13 team.

    In fact I`m not even sure how chemically similar the products are. However there was some similarity between Menzerna FMJ and Blackfire as we used lessons learned in developing FMJ towards Blackfire. In testing both Powerlock and BFWD, I found them to be similar in appearance, but Blackfire is both slightly more slick and lasted far longer.

    Thank You Todd, I dislike it when people post something based on second hand news or hearsay , in this business you need facts and the ability to back it up and prove it before you post about products, techniques and so forth......

    I`ll keep my sources close to my hand here, but it was from a valued source. Anyhow, does it really matter if they are the same?

    Cheers,

    While I understand your position, I don`t just throw crap out to stir the pot. The person that told me this info is a top notch insider, and I believe he can`t say I`m correct due to his position.

    So your above statement works from my side too............

    cheers,

    I thought it was Wolfgang DGPS that was the same as Powerlock? :-B



    Regardless, BFWD seemed slightly better to me.
