they obviously don't make them themselves.

Parkside are made in China, in the same factory that make most of the B&Q
range of Pro tools, but to German spec and manufacturing tolerances.

What is a "German spec and manufacturing tolerance"?

That's a completely meaningless statement.

What about quality control, supervision and service backup?

Are you seriously suggesting that these Chinese products are of the
same quality as Metabo, Festo and their ilk?

Value for money ?
Depends how much disposable income you have
And how often you are likely to be using it

It also depends on the ease and safety of use and for some tools the
accuracy required.
