diff_explanation: "Original = DeWalt cordless hedge trimmer at $136 claim (brand confirmed via original slug). DCHT820B 20V MAX 22-inch bare-tool at $139 is direct current-production successor in same DeWalt 20V platform — same brand, same battery ecosystem, same blade class. Like-kind functional equivalent. $3 variance (0.5%, negligible)."

What's in the photo + why it's claim-relevant. Two or three sentences. Example:
"Agri-Fab pull-behind lawn sweeper, used for fall leaf collection across
the property's open lawn (~2 acres). Stored in the equipment shed which
was structurally compromised by the tree fall. Replacement value
136USD per Tractor Supply current pricing."
