Ten years ago I bought a 24" bush saw blade from B & Q for £2.00, it was useless, I then bought a Bahco blade from a local engineers tool store for £8.00, it is still giving excellent service. About the same time we were given an electric kettle, which expired after a few months so I bought a expensive British made one which is still in use. Hornby Railways have had quality issues with some of their products which are made in China, one being failure of the mazak castings. So I am wary about buying anything made in the far east. My Singer sewing machine came from mother in law and is nearly twice the age of our Sevens and does what the makers claim.
