I think that they are made by a company called Nu-Tool who seem to make plenty of own brand store stuff.

No idea what they are like to use or how they wear. Try Screwfix forum, somebody there has usually used nearly every tool going.

You can't always tell with store brand stuff whether its any good or not. Somebody wrote in that they had bought a B and Q own brand shower for about £100 and when they wanted spares found it was made by Mira whose own price for he same shower was somewhere like £200.

You just don't know what your buying, when you buy store brands.

The Pro tool range are B&Q's own... if you are doing professional work don't bother, if you are on a budget then go for Ryobi or the MacCalister range if not AEG or Dewalt will give you the best service, I have a Dewalt cordless 12v drill that is about 8 or 10 years old and still going strong (had a new battery though).
