Something I'd like to have, how much did you pay for it?

I paid £34.39 on amazon for it as used condition - like new. (There was only one at that price when I bought it) And it was like new. New they are around £40 -£45 depending where you look.

A new blade for the strimmer - lass in the local farmers supplies place recommended it and the vertical tips on the blades make it a game changer 
The horizontal blades cut as normal, the vertical tips then chop the cuttings into smaller bits so no need to rake them up
The bits I’ve done today would normally have taken me 3 days and not ended up as tidy
Edit: it also makes it super easy to clean an overgrown stone pathway, the plastic blade guard keeps it just above the ground and the blade tips take everything off cleanly. Nice

What's the quality & accuracy like?

To my eye it appears decent. Testing the threads on a couple of items shows it works well.
The labeling is decent and clear. One complaint may be that the plastic case is a little flimsy but for me it will be adequate. If you planned on stashing this in a van etc then the case may get broken more easily.

I acquired this funky looking egg beater type drill at the local recycling shed. Its marked " Footprint - Sheffield England ".
Seems well made and has a butter smooth cranking action, and a nice undamaged 1/4" chuck.

Took a punt on eBay...described as returns due to damaged packaging. The box had a very slight squish (the tears was me getting into the packaging!)...still factory sealed too.
Worth it at £77 Inc shipping I thought.
I have an 18v DeWalt but boy is it heavy and I got fed up of carting it to my allotment fir the shed repairs.

Yesterday I acquired a broken fuel sediment bowl on the little Leyland 154 just when weve started the hay 
My own fault, took it off to clean it as it was full of stuff, diesel bug I guess, slipped out of my gloved hand an tinkled into numerous parts
Luckily the local tractor shop is really helpfull, a phone call to them at 4pm yesterday and this turned up at 9 today, couldn't get the bowl on its own but a complete pump for about £26, on with the hay!

Stopped off at Tesco on the way home to collect a prescription from the chemist and saw these reduced to clear organisers. Grabbed a couple of each.
