Shard vs Rambler

2 tools, measured the same way from the same sources. 3 of 19 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.

Buy if it carries 3 more tools than the other.
Verdicts are built from the measured fields only. They are conditional by design: which tool wins depends on what you are carrying it for.
