As has been mentioned the mac allister tools are pretty decent value for money as are ryobi - which I think are slightly better quality. Also, a fair amount of cheaper tools are rebranded, I think the B&Q range used to be a rebadged ryobi - well it was a few years ago, not sure about recently. But stay clear of cheap of the cheap end. With tools the old saying is buy cheap, buy twice.Comment
