DiskWarrior builds a new disk directory from scratch - the others repair the
current one. Since most disk problems involve a slightly damaged disk
directory this makes DiskWarrior a very helpful tool. But it doesn't do
anything else. TechTools is a complete computer diagnostic tool. It checks
all the components of the computer, not just the hard drive. Both are in my
bag of tricks.
