I also find it quite amazing that the FOD distributed by a world known turbine manufacturer has a price of 45Euro when anyone can se that is a conventional tee strainer made in China and some Festo connectors. A total value of less then 10Euro!
Yeah - there's definitley profit in it for the manufacturers, but ya know - if there wasn't, they wouldn't be doing it !
Between the time I spent shoping for the parts, and the time spent measuring, cutting, fitting, gluing etc ... I probably have almost an hour's time in my FOD screen - and since I earn $70+ per hour base...
Wonder how much profit festo makes on those connectors ?
