Why.? JCB is not a own brand store spin off. Plus he's not going into Mass
production. I have a B/D which has been taken a lot of punishment the 850W,
had it for two years now and it's still working.
Power tools will last for ages provided the operater does not force it
through the Job.
I also have Bosch 1500w. The one,s your on about are more for Industry work
rather than the average DIYer.
