Where I work we sell Silverline tools, hand as well as power. Absolute crap
they are but it's what lots of people want.
Fortunately the more discerning customers go for the better quality tools
but if we don't cater for the bottom end of the market we get the 'we can
get that cheaper elsewhere' brigade.
I'm curious to know others opinion of Silverline.

About the same as yours - a rather patchy ragbag of stuff like Draper.
There is the odd semi-decent item and an awful lot of rubbish.

As to the 'we can get that cheaper elsewhere' brigade, personally I'd
let them go to Arlidldigos and focus on the better margin items and
customers.
