I don't know how to add multiple photos to one post so will have to add them individually.

Browsing my local DIY store and looking at my favourite tool, plunge saws.

McAlister and Ebauer. As far as I can see, they come from the same factory, every screw, moulding shape is the same, just different coloured plastic and but priced £110 and £160.

Interestingly, both have a plastic locking tab and in both cases, it was broken. And these have not even been used in the work environment.

I don't need one (have a Makita) but cannot see what one gets for the £50 extra.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299779#Comment_299779 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299779#Comment_299779 Fri, 20 Jan 2023 17:43:25 +0000 Rex http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299780#Comment_299780 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299780#Comment_299780 Fri, 20 Jan 2023 17:43:58 +0000 Rex http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299782#Comment_299782 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299782#Comment_299782 Fri, 20 Jan 2023 20:38:16 +0000 djh http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299795#Comment_299795 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299795#Comment_299795 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 14:07:43 +0000 Rex http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299796#Comment_299796 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299796#Comment_299796 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 15:31:30 +0000 djh http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299799#Comment_299799 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299799#Comment_299799 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 16:49:49 +0000 WillInAberdeen
Think of it like Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat - built with the same parts, similar features and power, but priced differently, to appeal to different parts of the market. Some people will choose a Skoda because it's like an Audi but £10k cheaper, and others will choose the Audi for the same reason. Perhaps fair to say that MacA is the Skoda version, and Erbauer is more of a Seat level brand?

I've had some success buying cheap own-brand saws and then fitting better blades.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299800#Comment_299800 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299800#Comment_299800 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 19:19:05 +0000 Peter_in_Hungary http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299801#Comment_299801 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299801#Comment_299801 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 20:15:42 +0000 djh Posted By: Peter_in_HungaryI believe it is called Badge Engineering.That's generally where the similarities are even closer - literally just changing badges in the ultimate.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299805#Comment_299805 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17708&Focus=299805#Comment_299805 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 12:49:45 +0000 Rex
Interesting and thanks. Did not know that and have always assumed they are different manufacturers. Increasing the price point (profit?) based upon advertising, even though there is next to no difference.]]>
