Yes they do just look at all the people using basia coffee grinders which are far inferior to shimmano as a fishing reel quality and longevity wise .All from the korda videos it was just the same with infinity fire pokers

Rt7 it's a million miles better than a toslon it's in a different league never had a problem with every RT I have owned in over a decade .Neither have people I know with them .Plenty of people up other company's arses and strange jealous types telling blatant lies about them though .My mate who has a xboat wished he and listened to me and spent a little extra for the RT .Nothing wrong with his boat but even he says it's like something you get free from a rice crispy box in comparison the RT is so much better .That's just him joking the toslon is ok but it's no match for a rt7

Disagree that they are no different to basias they are chalk and cheese one is a robust proper fishing reel the other is a coffee grinder
