Default Weird,Aldi selling B&D tools now

In article Re6bj.66729$c_1.53857
@text.news.blueyonder.co.uk, George says...
just paid a weekly visit to Aldi and they're now selling B&D tat.

Must of scrapped they're powercraft range? I happen to have a look at their
router again and it seems they have improved its design...not that I would
buy it mind.



Aldi must be going down market selling B&D stuff. I've
stopped buying anything B&D brand due to the very poor
quality. It used to be average-decent stuff years ago but I
think it's just cheap Chinese crap nowadays with a B&D
badge on it. My last three B&D purchases we
1. A laser level that wasn't level.
2. A garden shredder that blocked too easily and spent more
time being unblocked than being used.
3. A drill that kept slipping into hammer mode when
drilling wood or metal!

I don't have deep pockets or enough usage to pay for top of
the range tools but nowadays find Bosch usually meets my
needs and budget.
