I'm not sure if this offer is widely available or not, but I thought

are in the process of relocating/ upgrading to a warehouse) had
their PP SDS drill, the one at £30 going for £15 at the moment.


Doesn't that strike you as just a teeny bit suspicious? Could there
possibly be a reason why they are selling them so cheap?


More than likely! Having bought one or two items from their PP range, and
having had to take them back because they were DOA, I've come to the
conclusion that PP stands for Pretty Pathetic!


Are PP any better or worse than other cheap drills?

I have a PP impact drill which has been giving me some excellent, and
uncomplaining, work recently. Perhaps they're one of those makes
whereby you either get a good one or bad one - good ones being quite
good and the bad ones being terrible(?).
