It's a no-name cheapo I bought 25 years ago in the UK from a mail order tool mob called Screw Fix.  Still going strong though.

So is ScrewFix, but they have real shops now too.

The truth us that a lot of these "different brands" are all made in the same Chinese factories, just with red, blue or green plastic and different stickers.

I remember holding up a branded drill and a B&Q own-brand one, and they were identical in every external detail except fot the colour, the name and the price.

So ture mate...especially when you pull em to bits ..parts can be swapped as there exactly the same ...in the earlier days tho things where made with quality in mind ..like my 12V Bosch cordless drill..made in Germany ..the battery tho is made in Sweden 
Still works ..the battery is getting abit stuffed now ..it is amazing how this will still charge and work ..just not for very long

When I bought a B&Q own-brand chop saw, the manual straight up referred you to Makita UK for spares and support.

It's the same deal with Dewalt..it's just a high spec black and decker so I'm told .
It's surprising how many cheap and nasty tools are part of a high quality brand manufacturer.

Yeah - just a lower standard of quality control... Sony and LG spring to mind.
