And yet it gets terrible reviews. Now, I've found a review that explains
why:
"I have to say that the quality and accuracy is poor, now that many of
its components are plastic, the original were all cast ally and it was a
good piece of kit"


I paid more £££s for mine all those years ago, so something has to give.


I don't think Silverline actually make anything. Just hoover up surplus
production. So what looks like a similar tool could come from a different
maker some years down the line.
