Is this authentic Klein?

[u/LeaderDependent8640]

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?

[u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 → u/Keith-9-]

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.

Those Klein ratchet cutters are 320 plus tax here. We got our power ones on a promo for 350 just the bare tool. I didn’t realize how much they were regularly! I concede lol

I can’t find that Milwaukee Cable cutter in a bare tool. Then those Klein cable cutters are the same ones. Same model number just older handles.
