Homebuilding & Renovation mag have a test on these. They gave the best to a Makita. Understandably, but it cost an arm and a leg. They also said the cheap Scewfix Ferm is OK. No real downside to it. Try a PP Pro, not the PP, from B&Q. They are well made and well priced with a 3 year guarantee. The mag didn't test the PP Pro saw.
