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😆️

I figure the price per pound when I buy surplus/scrap steel. Structural
shapes have the weight per foot in the size and 1" flat plate is considered
to be 40 Lbs per square foot, which divides neatly into fractions. Steel was
$0.25/# when I bought for the sawmill and gantry, and $0.50/# this past
spring.
I bought one of those vises to mount on a bumper hitch for large outdoor
work but it was so clumsy I traded it for an X-Y table and use an antique
leg vise instead. The X-Y table would be the repositionable cross slide tool
holder if I mount my spare SB lathe headstock on wood beams to turn large
diameter wheels. Lathes were once built like that, from watchmaker to steam
engine flywheel size, avoiding the difficulty of making perfect long
parallel ways by hand.
