Fitted several kitchens to date, most were German factory made units and some were Shed supplied. Tools used on the job were suplied by kitchen supplier but now I'm looking at setting my own tools up - jig, router, biscuit jointer etc. Any one got any preferred brands over others?

the kitchen fitters i work with use the cheapest tools they can mainly b&q type then when they break take them back and get a new one for free
my uncle likes bosch for jigsaws makita for drills and dewalt for routers

Is there any difference in quality of finish with a cheapo tool or is it that quality tools are just easier and smoother to handle? I notice a far better performance in my mates 18v Makita cordless than I do in my 24v cheapo cordless - even the battery outruns mine!

run time on the batteries and if the expensie ones break you can get them fixed

ie got a 14 impact driver and the torque it has beats my screwfix 24 v by miles

saying that screwfix have got a range just starting out that has been made by makita but under the screwfix branding so might be worth a look

Thier the red ones called "site" i believe
