Unfortunately, that brand is not available here, but FWIW even the
worst rubbish tools are guaranteed for life. The catch being that
the tools are often only imported for a brief time, and no-one ever
bothers to return the broken ones - so I have given up on the
lifetime guarantee being a sign of quality.
