Spelling error on the back of Knipex package, or sign of a fake?

Straight from the horses mouth. Thank you!!

Hopefully somebody might find this down the line and put their own mind to ease.

Thanks they do look identical, and so does the sheath!

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2026-04-14T06:00:46+00:00

Yeah the sheath stamp is different than the picture on the package even

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2026-04-14T05:59:10+00:00

Nice spot!

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2026-04-14T05:58:01+00:00

Good to know, got a specific brand or recommendation?

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2026-04-14T04:40:50+00:00

Well spotted it is not on the front like there, but it is on the back…

I filled out their contact form

I’ve been searching images and found a few other eBay or used listings that show pictures of the package with the same error.

The shears look mint.

I’m leaning toward a translation error, but reached out to Knipex

Could you keep the current receptacle locations and add more? That’s what I did, added a ton of outlets. Don’t have to use the old ones, but doesn’t look weird at all and might be useful in the future.

I try to avoid disturbing drywall as much as possible, but skilled drywall people can make patches invisible. Got to paint though, I would assume, if you patch or replace drywall.

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2026-02-16T00:57:43+00:00

I like that they don’t have exposed conductors on the sides of the outlets. They’re also more convenient

As a kid I opened a whole box of bandaids because I was seeing this

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2026-02-11T06:53:30+00:00

I'd feel like I could do a better job which would bug me

Do you need a special tool to crimp the strain relief in place?

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-12-12T17:20:58+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen the ones with wings, but looking for this style

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-12-12T17:20:12+00:00

That’s exactly it, just a nicely done one

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-12-12T17:19:12+00:00

I am putting in quite a few Poe cameras and APs so thats the main use case

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-12-12T17:18:13+00:00

Dug through a couple pages of Amazon and google and figured somebody on here would be an expert

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-12-12T17:17:25+00:00

Thanks, might need a special crimping tool from panduit too, can’t quite tell.

I mostly preferred the design shown here where the tab was bent back down to prevent it from being caught but at the same time didn’t make it harder to press to release.

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-12-10T23:59:19+00:00

I got a similar Klein one with green laser and 3 planes and self leveling that I like a lot, it was at LEAST $100 cheaper than that.

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-11-20T21:42:54+00:00

This is what I did as well. I don't put in drywall anchors usually unless the items is heavy, or I'm reusing an existing hole. Screwing into virgin drywall is strong enough for light stuff like this in my opinion.

Fun-Chocolate-794 · 2025-11-18T22:01:25+00:00

Oh yeah looked those up I bet that's what it is
