Verdict
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 41 g over the other; it works out at $4.44 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.
