I know a large retailer that sells electric screw drivers for €19 a piece. I also know from the chinese manufacturer's backwaters that it's deliberately designed to last for 12 minutes. That's roughly two years in the hand of an average non-professional, who will probably go back and buy another since it was so cheap.
These tools don't have a second-hand market. The expensive built-to-last ones do.
