How do I compare two hook quotations?
Short answer
Put them on the same unit. Two of the nine listings in our sample are sold by the pack, not the piece - so the first step is converting to a per-piece price.
In detail
Then compare gauge, gap and point form. A quotation that states none of those three is not yet a quotation.
