Some of the home brand tools are not too good unfortunately!
I have a few tool reviews to do soon and I don't think the people that made them will be too happy about what I have to say  _________________ DIY | DIY Video |

| The last tool I bought was a power drill because my other drill went out on me. The worst part of it was that I was in the middle of a project. |

| Last tool I bought was a 720w Makita Percussion drill from ebay. Only paid £45 and it looks like it's only been used a few times. |

| I see us professional handymen and novice handymen are all about our tools. Any tool I feel that can make my job a bit easier, truly has my name written all over it. What about you guys? |

NO!
If I had I'd have bought new!
Everything will be well used in the next few months and save me hours! _________________ Jaeger.
