I just like that they are obviously professional manufacture.

Those look like a knock off of the ones that I have. I have two pairs of them. One was purchased off the MAC tools truck, then I purchased another from Parts-express. The one from Parts-express is EXACTLY the same, except it has an adjustable gauge on it to set the stripped legnth. The one from Parts-express.com is only $13 too. I paid $40 for the one off the tool truck.
No clue how reliable the ones are that you have, but I can tell you that mine are a beast. I have had these since around 1999 or 2000 and they still work GREAT!!

Yup. My friend has the MAC ones that look EXACTLY like them that he paid $40+ for.

That's EXACTLY what I paid for them. Then I saw the ones at Parts-Express for $13 and I felt played. I ordered them thinking that they might not actually be the real deal, but they are. Here's the MAC version on the left, PE version on the right. The blue paint is a slightly different color, and the MAC version says "Tool Aid" on it. The MAC version also don't have the legnth adjustment slider on the jaws, although it's set up for it. It has the measurements on it and the holes in place where the slider rivets on to the the PE version.

MAC on the left, Parts-Express on the right. Keep in mind that both of these are at LEAST 18-19 years old.

You need to get probed @05Single

Power probed! I just had my 8 year old model die, but these are a good alternative

Damn, same patent number and all. I wonder if MAC removes the slider and offers it as some kind of $14.99 upgrade option.
