That wasn't the original question at all. He asked if they were truly that much. Yes, they are. Then he blamed corporate. Which is completely wrong.
They're that much for multiple reasons. They properly tension the tie to the correct tension every time. They also ensure that the tie is cut off perfectly flush with the head of the ziptie, meaning you don't need any additional tools.
Even further than that, like many electricians tools, the panduit tie-wrap gun and panduit tie-wraps have multiple UL, CSA, military ratings etc that you only get to use when you have the proper tool. Just like the Thomas and Betts (T&B) tool.. https://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Betts-ERG120-Ty-Rap-Installation/dp/B001VXW968
As far as comparing tools... You wouldn't compare a set of Wago screwdrivers to a set of Harbor Freight screwdrivers, would you? No, because you know that Wago makes a superior product with tips that don't typically bend, break, or wear off. It's the same thing, comparing a known good product to a chinese knockoff. Again, a rated tool vs. a non rated tool.
