2 tools, measured the same way from the same sources. 13 of 27 rows read the same on all of them; the ones that differ are what follows. A rust value is the better one in that row, grey is the worse, and a dash means we have not verified the field rather than that the tool lacks it.

Nothing in the measured fields separates it from the other. Pick on feel, or on a tool the other has and it does not.
Buy if it saves 85 g over the other; it is the cheaper of the two at $99.99, and it works out at $7.14 per tool.
Verdicts are built from the measured fields only. They are conditional by design:
which tool wins depends on what you are carrying it for.
