In general I first visit shops and tool fairs to look at tools (road test them) and then I buy online where you can see price comparisons down to the penny.

One example of an item I tested in a shop then bought online is my drill priced@ £149 that I found online at £99.

This drill WOULD have cost £149.99 in shop but I noted the model number and paid £99 online.

The reason it is stripped of all its markings is because it appeared as part of our dragons den pitch and the BBC insisted on us removing all
identification marks prior to handing it to Peter Jones for him to test our diamond core drill bit on a hard porcelain tile.

Drill stripped of its identity so the BBC could broadcast a pitch from 365Drills

My experience of retail shopping is that the smart retailers do not have a different online price to a shop price. Case in point - Argos. Looked at a Sony Cybershot for £149.99 discount to £99.99 which I bought from the store. Its the same price online so I save the P&P
