I use clicker counters at my job regularly, and there's plenty of cheap plastic counters around. I wanted a nice one for myself, and Lion brand kept coming up as the best in my (very quick) research. Ultimately, they do the exact same thing and there's no practical advantage to having a $12 Lion over a $2 generic counter, but the Lion is much better made. The construction feels more sturdy, the action feels smoother on the lever and the reset dial, and the numbers are larger. The finger ring also feels more sturdy. This is a very small and easy way to splurge on a tool if you regularly use a clicker counter.
