Maybe the real difference is durability, especially because a screw thread is involved. If I were a pro mechanic that planned on doing lots of these jobs, I would have to break the bank and buy the Klann.

I remember when I was working on my POS Oldsmobile, changing the front struts. The spring compressors I bought had a clear warning on them, "for home use only - not for professional use"! I treated them as "disposable", because the threads did in fact look a little worn after using them once!
