    thats kinda what i thought but i read a good review of there sonicrafter and in america they seem quite popular. i noticed the more expensive brands like festool dont have anything over 720w wich makes me think the wattage is being over rated ive heard thats common umoung cheap power tools. bit of a toss up but it sounds a bit too cheap

    mate i think the best way to go about buying a tool is buy the best possible quality tool you can that will fit in your budget it might be a big initial layout but in the long run will you still have the good tool 10 years later, but if you buy crap it will most likely die and you will have to replace it anyway. I think many forumite would agree
    cheers
