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

It is a "Kress" product.

It is a Wickes 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.

Given their (lack of) market position, that is probably all that they
can hope to achieve.

You really don't understand much about business, do you....
