A bit of an odd one this: I'm splitting up with my longterm partner and her dad now wants me to get him a new circular saw as I broke his a few months ago (fair enough). He claimed it was a DeWalt, but since I still had it around I checked it out and it was actually a 1200W 185mm McKellar circular saw. I can't find anything online about these tools, but I am interested in giving back an equivalent model to what I broke. Is anyone able to offer any insight here?
Post some picks and more info in general, as it is hard to advise whereas differences are £30-180 per different tools
Wasn't it Focus DIY own brand If so they went out of business a few years back. Certainly not Dewalt quality and that's saying something as Dewalt ain't all that. As above a B&Q one would be the equivalent, if not better. Was this it.?? https://www.gumtree.com/p/power-saws/mckeller-circular-saw/1262858975
100% is Focus DIY's own brand of power tools. My first drill was a MacKeller. He's already trying to get one over on you - it isn't even close to a DeWalt. Get an Argos own brand circular saw and you're probably closer quality wise.
Yes, McKeller was a budget 'own' brand from I can't remember where, but IIR's suggestion of 'Focus' rings a bell. (Pssst, do you think her dad is trying to pull a fast one, or is just confused? The branding colour is yellow for both.) Anyhoo, sorry about the break up
Thanks for the input everyone. Yes I absolutely suspected he was trying to pull a fast one, which is why I posted here. I'm not in the business of screwing people over, unfortunately the same can't be said for everyone else!
