Where abouts in essex are you?
maybe step up slightly to the erbauer one for an extra £20, talking to a chippy recently who says he rates erbaur highly, takes all the punishment he dishes out (we were talking about a random orbit as it goes) and any issues and screwfix will always swap things out without complaint.
interesting line the makita red, can i ask how much use it gets?
Didn't you always?
Lol, not always I used be tight and buy cheap thinking I was getting a deal but they never last.
I think you misunderstood me, I wasn't asking whether you'd always spent good money on tools, but whether the saying "you get what you pay for" hasn't always been true. there is always the tricky question of do you spend a lot of money on a tool you might not use often, the flipside being that if you buy a cheap item it will probably be rubbish, frustrating to use, and you are even less likely to use it again. but if you haven't got it you can't spend it, and the circle goes on
I am only a hobby woodworker. It gets used at weekends and not every weekend. It seems a very solid bit of kit, but I am not using it day in day out.
