Everything is OK at best. I think I'll go back to Klein and leave this just in case. The tip is rounded which makes cutting through any type of cable tie difficult and it takes a bit more force to cut through a cable like a category 6 cable - even more than my 3 year old toddler used to have before I left it on the job site . All in all, it's fine if you use them occasionally, but I'd say no if you're out in the field.
