Nice strippers but arrived in a bubble mailer without the original packaging and with some scuffs

Nice strippers but arrived in a bubble mailer without the original packaging and with some scuffs
They have the appearance of a new tool that was kept in a giant bin of tools scrapping against each other. No dirt, rust, or wear, just some finish removed. They arrived in a bubble mailer with a paper klein ad and the bubble mailer had a klein sticker on it. I'm unsure why they didn't come in the original packaging. I attached pictures, I have used them a fair bit already and didn't think to take pictures when I first got them but this is more or less how they looked when they arrived. The specs you see on the edges of the blade are just flecks of finish that got chipped off, not damage to the blade. The grips also have the same new chemically smell my old strippers had when I bought them from Home Depot that fades after some time and the grips look brand new.They cut and strip with ease, absolutely razor sharp and no damage to the blade itself. Strips and cuts wire with 0 effort. They're also very comfortable to hold, I really like the curved handle. The screw shears also work flawlessly. My only complaint, besides the weird lack of original packaging and cosmetic damage, is they have a minor flaw where when the lock is engaged, the spring pushes the jaws apart a little but it's not a big deal, just a little annoying.
