Verdict
Buy if it is the cheaper of the two at $69.99; it works out at $5.83 per tool.
Buy if it saves 17 g over the other; it carries 7 more tools than the other, and it works out at $6.31 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.
