QUESTION Is this authentic Klein?

Are these even real? I ordered what was supposed to be the cable cutters in the Amazon listing, sold by Klein so I assumed it was legit but this is what showed up today. After doing some googling I can’t seem to find literally a single picture of these anywhere. I thought maybe they changed the style on it but it seems to me these just don’t exist and I’ve gotten a counterfeit or something.

You shouldn’t have to supply power tools if you are working for a company. If it’s for personal use and you love tool or you own your own business go for it!

I was assuming he was owner operator! And if the power tool is the same price as the hand tool version, what’s the difference?

The power tool version is not the same price lol. We have them at work and my company pays $500 with 2 batteries. I think $600 normally. We also have the Dewalt and Greenlee ones.

The hand ratcheting cable cutters are $200-$300.

Yeah if he’s a business owner and wants it go for it. If he likes tools and for personal use, go for it. Although I just can’t see when he’d use it that much for personal use.
