That's a good deal if you need a basic mag drill. However, there's no speed selection:
Yeah, my Hougen is a single speed but only spins at 450.
And wipe your prints off so they can't trace it to your fingerprintsPlan is to keep it clean and send it back to Amazon when done of course.
Assuming you get the item, this is likely a new product with a damaged box. Smoking deal on a nice setup.
I went ahead and picked it up, been wanting a nicer digital torque wrench for a while. I'll bring it to the cal lab at work and make sure it functions as intended.
Ordered 2 pair. Thanks. These always come in handy.
New or “used”?
RacerX just ordered two pair, so looks like "used like new" is all that is left on the warehouse site.
Ah ok, was just trying to confirm your post was indeed for new and they’re now moving like-new, or if it were all like-new.

Got one, Thanks. My wife is always leaving these around and they get "lost"
Probably the new Chinese copies.
Website states Made In USA. Who to believe?!?!?
It says COO is China in the product information section on Amazon
There is a review on amazon claiming some are mixed china + US
They won't.

Correct - you have to search for something and then they bring options back to filter
Mine are going back. Embarrassingly poor jaw alignment, especially for a precision tool. So much for made in USA quality.
We've had quite a few cheap immitations that never hold up so my advice is Buy once cry once.
I'm not sure if this is the poor jaw alignment you are referring to, but just in case you didn't know, cutters designed like those Kleins are usually supposed to have jaws that are slightly out of alignment with each other. One of the cutting blades is supposed to hit and travel slightly up the machined ramp of the other blade while cutting. It prevents the cutting edges from hitting each other directly and damaging each other, and that design helps reduce mechanical shock transfer into soldered joints etc. as the cut is completed. All my Xuron cutters are made this way, and Xuron cutters are commonly used throughout many industries. Xuron calls the feature "Micro shear bypass cutting". It looks like Klein might be calling it a "pinch-cutting feature" based on the Amazon description. Xuron might even be the OEM for those Kleins. All my cutters work great for the jobs they are designed to perform, like cutting small copper wires, flush cutting zip ties, etc. You might want to try cutting a few things first, to see how your cutters do before returning them.
Thanks for the great explanation, ill take a closer look.
