Re: Bosch GKS 190 Circular Saw

"Price conscious" is two-way, either you get plan for the short term or the long term.

An item could be 1/4 of a price of another if and only if that 1/4 price could serve you long enough to get your 1/4 price back. Even if a tool is as cheap as 1000 pesos but doesn't have warranty/guarantee/support, it's just like gambling your 1000 only for the day you bought it.

Nothing is worse than having a tool bug down in the middle of the work and would let you require to fix/get another one (that may bug down again and have you fix/get another again).

There is a thin line between a budget conscious and a thrift-wise person. In the end, it still on you as you're the one who's be happy or sad on the end of each day.

He speaks the truth ... and if I may add Tool Performance. In this regard usually you get what you pay for.

Re: Bosch GKS 190 Circular Saw

A couple of years ago, the price difference between the brand new branded models as against the surplus was 2x or greater. Continuing price drop for the branded once make this gap significantly less, especially for drills (corded and cordless), it makes buying branded more feasible. There are occasional sale/promo even taht reduce the price significantly more. Also, parts are more readily available. Be aware though, not all models of branded ones are good, especially the bright orange colored ones.
Good luck in your tool hunting.
