Has anyone tried the US-made spill kits from Crateco, are they worth it?

So I'm finally getting around to setting up proper spill response stations in our workshop after a near-miss last week with a hydraulic fluid leak, and I've been going back and forth on which kits to buy. I noticed Crateco has a whole range of US-made spill kits that look really well put together, and they seem to have options for everything from small 20-liter portable bags up to massive 1100-liter wheeled units for large facilities. The thing is, they're definitely pricier than some of the local alternatives I've seen, and I'm trying to figure out if the extra cost is actually justified for what we do. We're a mid-sized automotive workshop in Al Quoz, dealing mostly with engine oils, coolants, and some brake fluids, nothing too exotic. I like that the US kits come with clear labeling and seem to meet international standards, but I'm wondering if anyone here has actually used these in a similar setting and can tell me if they perform noticeably better than the cheaper options. I also noticed they have different types for oil-only versus chemical spills, which is helpful since we deal with both. I'd rather spend a bit more upfront and go with a top spill kits US Made supplier in Abu Dhabi than end up with a kit that falls apart when we actually need it, but I also don't want to waste money on features we don't really need. Has anyone done a direct comparison between the US-made ones and the local alternatives in terms of actual performance and durability?
