TaxiDriver Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Probably all much of a muchness at that end of the price range, Maybe even made in same factory and just rebranded ?

Sealey stuff is sold all over as is Draper, but is Clarke stuff sold anywhere other than Machine Mart ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Lee, When I was on the tools I used pneumatic tools a lot and all of our angle grinders and hand tools were from "Dessouter" I doubt they would have been cheap but were VERY reliable and stood up to hard use day in and out!
