This is one of the best prices I've seen (recently at least) on these extremely popular Knipex slip joint pliers. Also, that funny sounding name of that third party seller "Time for Quality" is actually M.i.E.-Trade UG haftungsbeschraenkt & Co. KG out of Berlin, Germany. That's just their Amazon marketplace seller name - and they maintain a 4.9 star seller rating.
KNIPEX Tools 82 01 200=13px TwinGrip Slip Joint Plier features a unique combination of front and side gripping. Front jaw design grips stripped screws. Optimized side jaw with opposing teeth for maximum force. Side gripping jaws for round, square and hex materials. The only 5 adjustment push-button slip joint pliers in the market. Reliable gripping of flat workpieces due to the three-point system. Box joint design for added tool stability. Slim head design for working in confined spaces.

EDIT --- Thanks to SD Member
burntorangehorn for finding the (also very good) deal on the Comfort Grip version of these tools. Comfort Grip styles are often a few bucks more, but Amazon Marketplace sellers have them for only $31.45 ($1.56 more). Also, if you're choosing a third party seller, we recommend
Toolerz with a rating of 100%.

So, Knipex is not Crocs, I agree - and they're harder to counterfeit. I'm not aware of a lot of counterfeit Knipex, so if you want to order the comfort grips from "MARG2," the third party seller you linked, then if they ship from MARG2's product bin at an Amazon warehouse, you'll probably get what you ordered... but they could be used, returned, etc, etc.
Here, take a look for yourself all of the bad reviews that MARG2, who is a brand new seller with only 4 lifetime ratings, has received from other Amazon customers:

The packages were torn and cut up. Luckily product wasn't damaged but the boxes were in no way useable and should've gone to the garbage and not sent.

As cool as these knipex slipjoints look, my "stranded on a desert aisle, where mechanical maintenance needs to be performed tool", would definitely be channellocks or knipex cobras.

Thank you for the reply. I may order from Toolerz. Same price, 100% with over 10,000 review.
One other note - I own a pair of these, and the machining on the jaws of these is something to marvel. That "mouth" design on the end of these slip joints is more unique, however, (as you likely know) Engineer of Japan uses a similar "screw/bolt grabber" machined jaw design. Engineer also uses a comfort style grip on most of their pliers, as well.

These aren't regular slip joints. The front has a Grove that makes this phenomenal for pulling nails or working on stripped screws. I use them far more than I thought I would.
