Sainsbury's are at it too.

I saw these and thought about getting one (it will only get light use)

-- are they any good? I don't need anything fancy :)

I don't see how you can go wrong at that price. I didn't buy one because I've already got more than I need.

I'd be religious about not leaving the battery on charge too long - it looks like a crude charger. Stick to the minimum time they say - it doesn't matter if it's not fully charged but will have its life shortened by even slight overcharging.

I had a cheap Draper 18v for a couple of years. It was fine until the batteries went, but there was no source of replacement batteries - so to the recycling centre it went. For 8 quid, it's good economics, but bad environmentalism.

I don't think that Draper make or sell rubbish. They've been around a long time, too.

Tesco are also having a =A31 or 50p DIY bits sell off. No power drills t= hat I spotted but a 12" stainless steel metric/imperial rule with clear markings and a small vertical, horzontal and 45deg level caught my eye a= s good value at 50p (IIRC) for the rule alone.

That's good.

It's always better when customers aren't disappointed.

JCB has been around for a long time as well.....

No, draper don't make rubbish. They rebadge it...

(I've got some good draper stuff. I've seen a lot of crap too.)

Their fleecy sweatshirts are good, provided you can stand the yellow and black colourscheme (and pay charity shop prices).

Trouble with Draper is some of their stuff is good - some poor. I don't think they actually make anything but buy in from a variety of makers.
