   The "precise" details weren't important to me. The gist of the   
   comparisons being made was the point😉️   
      
   My Dad use to talk about HF stuff as "That's only a dollar a pound to   
   buy..." He was enamored with their big 5.5 inch? swivel vise. He'd   
   order one for ~$30 with free shipping just to see if it was real or   
   not. I still have two of them. One that's used A LOT. Sold one to a   
   neighbor that was still boxed up as delivered. I think he gave some   
   away too...   
      
   I'm old enough now to see my own similar hoarding quirks but for   
   different items😆️
