Badwolf Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just got back from doing the weekly Lidl shop. Two strictly non-essential items which were actually featured on last weeks specials. 20v batteries for their range of Parkside x20v team tools and a very handy cordless compressor and air pump kit. The compressor looks great for tyres, footballs and stuff like that without the need for running cables from the mains or car battery. The air pump for air beds and other 'inflatables' (door left open for that 'other' web site!!). Comes with a range of adapters. Battery is not included with kit but you can use one from other x20v tools Not tried them yet but I will post a review soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Suppose it depends on what nozzles he might want to use?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted April 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Tried the hand compressor yesterday. Set the device to the pressure needed, attached to tyre and off we go. Wonderful bit of kit. Tells you the current pressure in the tyre, inflates to the preset pressure and shuts off. Also has a built in led to light what you are doing. Highly recommended. Now to try the inflator on that strange blow up object in the cupboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Just bought a new vacuum for the garage from Lidl. Another solid bit of kit. Does dry or wet so great for spills. Not sure about solvents but great suction, steel drum, selection of tools plus a handy adaptor to hook up the tubes on sanders and stuff like that. Also has 6 wheels so doesn't get pulled over easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 If you are in the market for a colour inkjet printer have a look at the Epson currently on offer at Aldi... https://www.aldi.co.uk/epson-ecotank-l3110/p/710044434457800 It is an 'ecotank' which means no cartridges. You just fill up the reservoirs with ink as needed and it comes with a decent sized bottle of each colour plus 2 bottles of black. If you need wifi, forget it, USB only. Decent quality prints. Full A4 colour HQ takes about a minute. In draft/document printing its fairly quick. Its a bit 'plasticky' in the build and uses an old fashioned method of paper feeding but at £130 including the ink is decent value. You can also get compatible ink off fleabay for about £8.00 for a set of 4 but I haven't tried those. I will probably stick to the expensive OEM inks for about £25.00/set on fleabay with an offer of 3 sets for the price of 2. No problem loading drivers via cd. Works well for me at the moment.

Pete Lewis Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 ive had a ecotank 4500 for 2 years never needs a refill i get my bottles from the cartridge people used half a bottle of black to top up in two years and i do a go deal of area club printing no more silly half filled cartridges at vast £££ or repro's thst wont work these are vastly cheap to run Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I am very pleased with mine up to now, but there are some really stupid reviews on the Aldi web site. Don't potential buyers do any research before buying stuff like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to look at the reviews of a 2KW fan heater. Top of the list were two "Don't buy this potentially lethal, dangerous product" ones. In both cases, their complaint was that the 2KW fan heater had "nearly set fire" to the 5A rated multi-way mains spreader they had plugged it into. I'm fairly sure both devices would include a "don't ever do that" in their instruction books. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I thought that everything that goes wrong these days was someone else fault. Tis the season for snowflakes or is it all year round now?. Regards Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJB Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Not a tool but LIDL have car boot bags in this week for £3.99 that fit nicely in the floor pan behind the seats in a GT6 MKIII. Quite substantial construction for the price and much tidier than a box of tools and spares sliding around in the rear load bay. Have handles as well so they can easily be transfered to other cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the black 'Car Boot Bag' with the strip of velcro along the back and the two velcro press-studs included? ? Very nice but cost me £4.99 locally! (Also some enterprising chap is selling them on eBay for £6.99 plus £3 postage....) They'll suit our cars very well. I called in to Lidl on Wednesday and the tool section was empty; no tools, no power tools, no garage equipment or DIY stuff at all. I don't know if it's supply problems or due to Covid regulations.

ChrisJB Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Colin, that is the one. Definately £3.99 this week if you can get them but I guess there may be regional variations. Probably went on sale last Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Well, my LIDL / Parkside cordless multi-grinder died this week.... the collar on the shank seems to have worn and won't tighten any more. Three years I got out of it, although the font bearing has been screaming for the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the budget brands make savings in build costs with lubrication, but if taken apart when new and their gearbox is greased properly and with a drip or two of oil on the bearings - they do last well.
