i use marcrist now, but the travis perkins ones are made by them as well and lasted me very well, considering the amount of paving etc we cut with them

If you see a Nimbus one ,they are always good, and also Marcrist as someone said, but also as someone said, it depends on what you are cutting,hard concrete is less abrasive than say soft block or mortar or common bricks. The more abrasive the material you are cutting,the faster it will wear so the trick is to get the blade as near to the right compound as you need it but that is easier said than done when buying one off the shelves from a merchant and can be a bit off a lottery as you have already experienced. So the softer material you are cutting,the harder bond of diamond you need to get best life out of the blade and vice versa, but that said, go to too hard a bond on a hard material and it wont cut--i've cut materials in the past with a soft bond blade and it cuts like sh*t off a shovel but wears out after 6 metres . In general the better blades cost more, good luck finding the right one.

All my recent diamond blades have been from Aldi for less than £5, and they all seem to have been just as good and long lasting as the £50 ones from the merchants
