This is a question Cheap Tat

OneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."

Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.

What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

This is a QotW answer Dont
buy the cheapest taps for a bath or sink you can find. They will be shit. Theres a reason proper ones cost £100+.

I know this because (being the slum landlord that I am) the last set sheared off all the little prongs on the very first turn after fitting. Shiny little fuckers.

This is a QotW comment Screwfix...
...purveyors of the cheapest tat possible. Screws that don't. Saws that won't. Assorted shit that always, always refuses to work.

No wonder B&Q make so much money if this is their competition.
