My Wickes SDS certainly seems to be. I don't know whether they read
this group but noted that the Wickes latest price book says 'Made in
Germany' or 'Made in Switzerland' against all their grey pro tools

They probably do. Any marketing dept with any sense would gauge opinions,
trends, etc from the Internet. The clear impression here was that Wickes
pro range was DIY in quality and made in China.
