I was in a Focus DIY shed today. They sell the now discontinued PP Pro trim
cutter (B&Q now a have a bigger beefier version for £60). The same model
except is has the own Focus brand of Champion and only 1 year guarantee for
the £50. Good unit, I have one of the PP Pro type and a good deal. All PP
Ro have 3 yr guarantees

I noticed another promotion tool, "exactly the same", called PDTools or the
likes of ina yellow box. They also thown in a 14.4 one Hr chgarge battery
drill/driver...for £39.99. A great deal.

Could it have been DPTools? Be careful if you are buying on the
assumption that it is the same as another similar looking brand. I
have an 18V cordless reciprocating saw by DPTools, and an 18V circular
saw by Champion. The batteries look the same and fit each others
chargers, but the retaining clips are slightly different, so batteries
wont fit the other tool.

There might be slight differences, but it is basically the same thing plus a
battery drill.
