Seems like established technology with common metals fabricating a simple mechanism. What differentiates a relatively inexpensive, contractor-grade faucet from one that costs anywhere from double to 10x the price?

The brand name is the only difference. Much like slapping nike and gucci 10xes the price of clothes.

Not true. As someone mentioned above thread โ€” cheap store brands are commonly plastic junk that breaks after a couple of years of use.

And the big designer names are often the same cheap plastic item with their logo slapped on it. Hardly any brands are actually providing a significantly better product that justifies the exorbitant price tag.
