As title. Are these tools of reasonable DIY quality?

Specifically interested in this item:
http://www.toolshopdirect.co.uk/silv...product/633619
for weed / bramble burning.

Any experiences of this tool very welcome.

The man behind Silverline is the man who started Screwfix and sold it to
B&Q

The example Silverline power tool (planer) that I looked at was remarkably
cheap (under 20 GBP). Quality?

You get what you pay for, bearing in mind that these goods come from
very cheap labour countries such as Korea and China
