This is most possible Counterfeit!!, for several reason
1. The history still not clarify, we never see this brand in worldwide before.
2. They intend to make this pliers and copy Fit, instead of today we have never sure to prove Fit
3. You could find very easy those stuffs such as Fit, Indesto, Eye brand etc. in Asia. Anyone live in USA. difficult to understand this case.
4. Is it possible, Germany Pliers, those are premium, great quality, etc, you could get those with $10 money, meanwhile USA. pliers famous brands normally prices average up to $10+
So, this is nonsense of pliers, and you could find in Alibaba, and other famous brands such as Bahco, Stahwille etc.
in my opinion, those VIP pliers is Counterfeit,
