well duh, how many proffesional people buy their tools from aldi tho,

i thought this was a DIY group, usually one person doing one off jobs in
their house, so why pay 300 quid out for a tool that can be used a
billion times without fail when you need it to do 5 or 6 jobs and
that's it.

As I said the difference isn't that great - if any at all. There are too
many tool 'experts' that think price and brand always determine the actual
longevity of a tool. That might have been the case once but not these days.
