Three situations where you should buy the cheaper one
Where the cheaper one wins
Occasional use, storage in a damp shed, and anywhere it might be stolen. Ours is over-engineered for all three.
Where ours wins
Daily use over years, and anything where the weight of the tool matters to your hands after an hour.
The honest summary
If you will use it fewer than about twenty times a year, buy the cheaper one. That is most people.
