i got my generic circular saw for a tenner about 20 yrs ago and it still has the same carbide tip blade which is still very functional

my generic dremil type tool was also a tenner and is still a good chum

perhaps my point re generics is they might be good or a tenner is a cheap way to decide to get a posh one with a name .

Got a cheapo rechargeable model while over in France in order to do a couple of plumbing jobs, and it's been fine though the battery life isn't brilliant for extended use.

I bought one of Aldi's mains powered ones, and all I can say is - useless! Managed to burn the motor out with apparent ease.
Good points. Aldi regularly sell the packs of assorted sander pads/blades at a far cheaper price than B&Q.

Recently bought the Bosch multi-tool at a Homebase store having a closing down clearance sale, and reputedly the models as sold by Lidl are in fact manufactured by Bosch.
