Default I won't bother with Toolstation again

They certainly do, but the problem is more with Silverline etc. than
with Toolstation, and I don't see Screwfix as being generally much
different. *The market is unfortunately hungry for crap tools at low,
low prices, so that's what they sell.

A better quality (broadly) can be found at Tooltastic (there's a trade
counter in Bristol), which is the new retail arm of Buck & Hickman.
You can get top quality stuff here, but you will have to pay for it.


Silverline stuff is normally functional. Black Spur OTOH...
