I'd agree some of the stuff is dodgy, mainly the 'Silverline' brand -
there seems to be some connection?

Silverline are independent (of Toolstation) I think, they have their
own web site and quite a few dealers sell their stuff. I think
they're basically just importers of the standard Chinese stuff that
becomes all of the cheap brand names like Challenge (Argos), etc.

I have some Silverline tools and they're OK, e.g. their 2kw hot air
gun works fine (not much to be wrong about something like this I
guess).
