Getting a refund on used tools?

They say a good workman never blames his tools, but I think it should be allowed if the tools were dodgy to start with :)I bought a wood planer as suggested, to plane down the bottom of a door. It was only £18 and I didn't expect the world, but it was bloody crap.As you can see from this video the guy gets nice big scraps coming out.My simialrly sized blade was giving me tiny scraps and was totally random/uneven.So I want to take it back to the shop and get a refund on the account it wasn't really fit for the purpose (sale of goods act i guess) - any ideas on what I should say?It could just be that I didn't do it properly - but its hardly rocket science, I could tell that the blade was rubbish anyway.What are my chances?
