SiP tools

[AndrewSchofield]

Does anyone know of the quality of SiP power tools. I'm guessing from the price that they are not top end products but i'm looking for a budget power tool for occasional DIY use. I don't need the quality, durability, of De Walt etc.. (nor do i want to pay that kind of price) but equally, i don't want to buy something that's cheap but will only do one job and will then need replacing.

Has anyone used/seen any SiP products and know whether they're worth what you pay for them, or are they just a pile of rubbish which should be avoided at all cost? Are there better products for simlar prices?

Unfortunately your diy, and light to medium trade is still spot on

non commercial use.

I have sent a number of tools back after non--commercial, but trade like use and they have replaced all of them without a problem..

Does this mean you keep an old transit on bricks behind your house which you throw your tools into at the end of a hard days DIYing?

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm actually looking for a small table saw - will have a look at Ryobi - anyone know of any decent retailers of Ryobi stuff - either nationwide or online?
