Kress of Germany is not a wannabee product.

In the UK market that is exactly what it is.

Once again..."Kress of Germany is not a wannabee product."

Where can I buy them in the UK with a Kress label?

A label freak! Wickes sell them under their name.

Then it is sold as a Wickes product, not a Kress one.





If a maker has faith in their product then they will stand by long
guarantees. Look at 5 yr guarantees in some auto makers now. No low
quality car maker gives 5 year guarantees.

In this case the warranty is from Wickes anyway because it is their
private label brand.

RE-badged using quality products and they stand by the products.

No, Wickes (allegedly) stands by the products.

You got it.

Wickes is a supermarket operation, not a manufacture and service
organisation for power tools.

It is a "Kress" product.

It is amazing that someone defends companies offering poor guarantee
service of 1 year.

The guarantee is somewhat irrelevant

It isn't.

In terms of a warehouse operation such as Wickes, it is simply one of the
means to put a price differential between two product lines.

It is a way of shift product as Wickes area national chain. Kress don't
care if the products have their or Wickes name as long as they sell.
