Title: How do they do that?*
Post by: Barman on September 07, 2011, 11:44:37 AM: Had top go to the DIY shop yesterday and bought a new 'lektrik drill.... cloud9:

It has a 580W motor, variable speed, hammer action, reverses and can be used as an electric screwdriver...

It comes with a 2-year warranty, an instruction manual in a billion different languages and a spare set of carbon bushes...

It cost just €19. Shrugs:

Anybody that thinks the UK will once again be a manufacturing base is surely mistaken... noooo:

*It is a rhetorical question - I know the answer is 'mahoosive volumes and child labour' but the volumes must be truly mahoosive to sell such a thing for €19.

Post by: GROWLER on September 12, 2011, 08:44:46 AM: Take it back, simple.

Bit like those shiny 500 piece socket sets you can buy at the shows I go to....SPECIAL show price, JUST £10. all usually made by some random Malaysian company like Muchwank. ::)
Fully and comprehensively guaranteed, with a FULL money back promise. until you leave the stall.

Correct. You get what you pay for, and in your case seemingly, Muchwank. :thumbsup:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect the consumer protection regulations work a little differently in Cyprus.

Mind you, we could have a picture of BM with just the power cable emerging from where the sun doesn't shine.
