Funny you should say that there's always ample products in stock in

I don't misunderstand at all. Have you looked inside each type of
product and compared? There is a huge difference.

What, have you taken each product apart and compared them? I bet you
have not!

You don't know dennis@ very well!

He's probably had a micrometer on them and destruction tests
completed.

I didn't mean dennis@! AH said "Have you looked inside each type of

AH hasn't touched a cheapie, I think it highly unlikely!

Some of them in the past.
Not the Aldi one.


There is a huge difference.

Yes the quality ones use designs that are *cheaper* to make.
E.g. tooled for robotic assembly.


There is also the issue of development

No.. that is why they can assemble them using machines.

Probably. However, take a look at the quality of the mechanical parts
such as bearings and gears and there is an enormous difference.



and support which does not come
for nothing.

This about the only thing that costs more.
Does it cost 20 times more?

No it doesn't and neither is the price point.

How many people are going to use it?


Anybody who appreciates using quality tools.

I have taken apart products at each end of the market and the
difference is dramatic and obvious.

When? What? How do you explain that my £25 SDS is still going strong
after a great deal of use, as are the bits, as you "dread to think"
what a £25 drill is like?

I've tried out various of these from time to time, but found them
disappointing in terms of weight, vibration etc. in comparison with
the Bosch I've had for some time.

Dribble, by that wildly inaccurate comment it can be safely assumed
you have never been involved in any manufacturing industry.


The fact that you have no idea how much components costs prove you don't.

That is another wild and utterly incorrect assumption Dribble.

How do you think they make a profit on £20 SDS drills?

Simple, they make them for less than £20.

Do you think the price you pay in a shop has any bearing on the
manufacturing costs?

Ooh thats a really difficult one.

I think you need to go and have a think for a change.

Drills are low tech and have few components.

They are cheap to make whatever you say.

I was in Aldi in Fareham this morning. They had plenty of routers, tables,
bits etc and no-one seemed remotely interested in them.

Did you try his and the Aldi Makita lookalike, with 900W not 650.

How much is it to rent a 900w SDS? It is probably worth just
buying this (Aldi) drill, and if it does 2 jobs then you are in
- 3 yr guarantee so no probs.

The one I bought has a sort of barrel type motor pointing
down, rather than being inline with the bit. It's great.
It came with some bits, and a 25mm chisel, and a pointed
breaking chisel, too. You could buy two for fifty quid,
and either keep one in case of breakdown, or use one in
each hand.

I like your logic.
