They do look similar. I might have linked to a different one because I prefer them without the nail pulling groove.
On durability, I had another forged type snap when I was trying to get a skirting board off. Was a proud moment.

Same, although I can't quite put my finger on why that is.
While I'm falling down the Rutlands hole, I can't recommend these enough:

I can't find the exact ones I have but pretty sure they're Mokuba like that one - same stamped rocking horse logo. Although neither has the nail pulling groove in the flat end. It's definitely worth paying extra for ones that have been properly forged as they last so much longer. I've been ragging on mine for years and they're still in really good nick, while the cheap ones my mates have tend to bend, snap or deform if given too much abuse.
