It's an odd company, Silverline. Their stuff is always cheap - but some
of it very good value for money, and some of it rubbish. Bit like Draper
used to be. So rather like buying unbranded cheap stuff from China. You
take pot luck.

Toolsatan sell quite a lot of of Silverline, but it's not advertised as
such, my heart sinks whenever they pass an item over the counter and you
realise you're about to play tool roulette ...

I've had a roller extension handle that snapped on the very first push
after I'd just poured a bucketful of EPDM adhesive onto a flat roof

I've bought several router bits, only to have some of them refuse to fit
the collet

I've bought a dowelling jig that pulled itself several degrees out of
square as you tightened it up

Other tools are quite serviceable.
