Axminster tools question.
Are the tools sold by Axminster as Axminster branded of a decent quality? What about the "Jet" brand? (Never heard of them, just curious).
TIA David Paste. |

The "yellow" hobbyist stuff wasn't so good, but was very well priced. The only stuff I've been unimpressed with was the white range of handheld electrics tools. You could do better (although the overhead Foredom clone is OK). |

The hand held electric stuff is badge engineered and is available from other "brands", but generally they pick stuff that is "ok", and also they support their stuff better than most dealers. Jet make some very nice stuff, although its march harder to get in the UK than elsewhere it seems. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
