Power tool price increases (was: Hacksaw blades)

How do Screwfix know that I was thinking "Hmmm, haven't seen a Screwfix catalogue for a while" and put one in my post box? There seem to be some serious price increases in that catalogue too. The Bosch PEX400 orbital sander has jumped from £58 to £70 over two catalogues (high-street was around £65) That's £12 / 20% |

The Bosch PEX400 orbital sander has jumped from �58 to �70 over two catalogues (high-street was around �65) That's �12 / 20% Trying it on methinks, £60 is more the going rate. Though I'd go for a 5mm orbit sander, work better with an 'interface pad' cheers, Pete. |

Everywher else its around £65, probably cheaper if you look at ebay. I was also bemused by the 'Site' range made by Makita. Seems like they are Makita's previous models badged for Screwfix - but they don't seem much cheaper than the current Makita models. And whats the deal re Worx? Unknown brand, made in China, on sale at top prices? 18v combi with 2 x 2.2a Ni Cads for £169:99 compared to the Makita 18v combi with 3 x 1.3a at £179:99. I know which I would buy. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Looks like the B&Q (or whatever the parent company of both is called) effect finally beginning to affect us all... It will be a real shame as I really like(d) them (good CS, prices, etc). |
