I was visiting a customer and he just had to show me an identical
mechanical digital 1" mic from Sears, he has paid $109 for.

Bull****

What was your first clue?

Notice its marked down from $68?..thats 300% markup even there

Notice they're not the same brand....


They clearly are different.


Sure they are. One is painted a different color, and they are marked

And the ratchet is different, the knurling is different, HF has a
carbide anvil, Sears doesn't mention carbide...

Overall, two tools with similar features from different factories.

Based on the pix, the only real similarity is the intended purpose.
