I was hesitant to buy this item because of the bad reviews. I'm glad I did! Package has arrived and looks and feels authentic. Attached is a photo next to my 5 year old couple. The spelling is different, but maybe they changed the labeling of their product? I randomly pulled one of these out and started checking its quality by using about 75 zip ties and small cables. In general, what I have was lying around. All cuts were clean and crisp, the only difference between my old pair and my new pair was that the new ones take a bit more force to start compressing, but that's because the spring is new. The best part is I ended up paying under $3 for a pair with free two day shipping. Even if they break in a few months, I have 10 of them and each one costs less than a cheeseburger. I take three with me when I travel, just in case. 100% worth buying and couldn't be happier!
