New to the 'Station apparently:

Never heard of these, and only corded stuff at the moment. I'm going to buy something rght now because I can.

Circular saw crying out I think.

Yes, I got a promo email today. It just looks like someone has found a load of black dye to put in the PA66 plastic as opposed to blue, red, yellow or whatever. I’m guessing the tools come out of the same factory as all the other budget power tool brands.

for me, some power tools are still better as corded rather than cordless.
Angle grinders, sanders, multi tools and rotary tools for example I prefer as corded but any drills, circular saws and jig saws are better as cordless.

They all look like Argos budget tools. If I was going own brand, it would be Erbauer from Screwfix.

Isn't this commonly known as a rotary tool? They already have another conventional multi-tool on their web page:

Just looks a bit samey budget type

The £20 brad nailer looks worth a punt. I doubt I'd be using it away from a socket anyway.

It's certainly not a multitool (which oscillates), it's a pseudo-Dremel - a drill.

They look very similar to the 'Titan' range of tools.

I don't mind cheap tools, especially if they won't be used very often.

I've got multiple Lidl Parkside power tools and they seem to work well for the price point.

The electric heat gun looks the same as Screwfix ones, only black rather than grey. Having said that, it works fine, does the job
