Prices on the bay don't make sense to me either. But I picked up a Fray 
Spofford last summer and do like it. It holds securely anything I put in 
it, and it's light weight.. Can't say that about any other braces I own 
I wouldn't use it for boring 1in holes or driving large screws, but I 
don't do that sort of task very often..

FWIW
