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


By that argument you should go and buy tools which are made in "very
cheap labour countries such as Korea and China" as you will get much
more labour for your money in what your are buying.


If you were working in QA for 50p and a bowl of rice, would you care
much about the stuff you put stickers on?
