One is steel and another is aluminum.

I want to keep one and sell another. My question is which one is
better. Aluminum one is a lot lighter, but is it as strong? Or does it
matter?

I am not a plumber, but once in a while I need to turn something that
does not want to turn, like a stuck engine etc. This is my use.

I would also suggest making some cheater bars out of pipe when you get
the chance...sometime in the future you WILL use them.

Remember me when those bars make that impossible job possible. ;)
