Who did you use for the hinges pls? My preferred suppliers feel pricey & don't have many optionsI decided to bite the hinge and get some bigger bullets...

Insulating fire bricks for scale
The smaller bullet hinges will probably still be useful: rather than being sensible and buying a "project box" for the control cabinet for the heat treatment oven, I'm currently planning on making something from scratch. The big hinges will be good for the (relatively heavy) chamber door, but the control cabinet door is likely to be a lot lighter and so I can use the little ones.

I bought one of their cheap 1/4 drive socket sets probably 10 years ago, expecting it to last as long as a ten quid socket set could be expected to . . . Still going strong, including the 10mm I slimmed down in the lathe to fit a tight spot. So you might be surprised.Along with the Christmas tat in Aldi I managed to find a these, nice selection of security bits, probably made of cheese but a good get you out of trouble selection in a decent case
Not sure what this bit is for though
Once I factor in the first of purchasing the machines then my suppliers seen cheapHinges? BUY???

Had one for years but never knew what it was for, not that I tend to use curtain hooks a lot.
If only! That'd mean I'd have to start being nice to people & I like to keep my options open...

This evening this little box manifested at my door
Opened and found this
Little Christmas gift included with it
I now have a little keychain for the toolboxes keys
Actually not that bad of an handle roughly 300mm long, it feels cheap but the metal bits seems actually well made
It came with two 3Ah batteries
And the untrusty charger
The drill doesn't feel bad for the price paid, the motor doesn't make a lot of noise and it makes me feel it's slow and produces some torque.
140Nm ? Not sure about but I don't know how to check if it's true.
Maybe trying to drive a nut and bolt through a piece of lumber and then check with the torque wrench slowly increasing the torque till it moves?
I know I was not able to stall the motor holding the chuck at slow speed at minimum speed and drill mode .
the chuck feels little rough while opening the jaws but again (for the price paid...).
Still robust apparently
Overall at first impression yes it's cheap but not so much better or worse than my brushless Parkside
@Kram I wasn't able to review it or test it properly today.
If everything goes well I'll be able to do a detailed and deeper review on this weekend.
I'm curious to have a look at the internals.

If you can torque something to a pretty high value and try to undo it with this thing I'm curious to know a real torque value and not a supposed one.
I know I've been able to undo roughly 700Nm with mine but it's always good to have more data.
I can see your case is different than mine

Ordered one of these, not sure I need it but looks to be cheap - price normally around £110 everywhere else, if it’s no good it can go back!

My main accessory for my clamp meter is a two-foot extension cord with the wires separated. Very handy.

Still hopefully waiting for my local Lidl to stock the Knipex type pliers.
