They were the #1 plumbing tool for the generation that trained me; nowadays grips have taken over, in my opinion.
I have a pair of large footies which came into their own when I was doing a lot of solid fuel boilers in the mid 80s; nowadays I never fit any SF boilers, but the footies are still kept in my toolbox, just in case.

Footprint did once make a type just like that tom.
I don't think they are fakes it's just a different type of design of footies that never caught on.
