See how it goes for my relativly limmited uses. Pete I bought a lidl versin last year, ver pleased with it especially for wheelnuts. 3 dugga duggas is nice and tight (possibly too tight for std wheelnuts, I am on m12 stuff) saying that, it has a variable torque setting. And a BIG battery, but only the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest advantage I can see, is not having to run miles of hose and fire up the compressor when working in the front yard. The alternative being to shift the Motorhome every time.

Pete Lidl and aldi are different manufacturers, but both seem pretty good, and have 3yr warranty. You don't get that anywhere else! Won't be made in germany, but heard stuff about erbauer, einhell and other brands, all OK stuff but not pro quality. (I have erbauer stuff for work, having had tools stolen, I won't buy top end stuff) Yes, much more convenient than air powered stuff. But it is easy to get sucked in. The week after I got the wrench, lidl were selling a small circular saw and multi-tool/cutter, both "bare" but very cheap. So bought the,. And while I was there a couple of smaller 2AH batteries, only a tenner each. Later a drill to use solely in the garage as my work ones are often elsewhere. That came with a battery and charger. I want a battery sds drill for work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 You all know my comments on the Lidl range. I assume that the Aldi is just as good. Three year warranty and, as I have found in the past, expensive tools break (explode!!) just as nicely as cheap ones when dropped from a height onto concrete but the cheap ones don't hurt the wallet as much. As for the Aldi battery chargers which were/are in around now, wouldn't want to be without them at £13 a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Years ago, I had an Aldi Computer (Medion). At in excess of 2 years they replaced a Hard drive which failed FOC, RTB apart from send postage. Which I though was excellent. It`s still doing duty, though now in "reserve" as it wont run (some) modern stuff despite being upgraded to windows 10. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HR lady emailed me to ask where I would like her to get me a £30 gift voucher for. I gave a couple of (slightly unusual) options. I still haven't received the voucher, though.

KevinR Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Bought with my Long Service Award. It’s taken a bit of practice, but the welds are now acceptable. very different from MIG welding, a bit like OxyAcetelene with a flame that can be turned on and off at the press of a button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Kevin, Jasic sell Tigs that can double the price depending on the model you choose, yet they look very much the same. What would you say are the criteria of choice, apart from price? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 My criteria was must be single phase must be ac/dc must work with a foot pedal. list price for the complete package, including a hobby weld argon bottle was around £2500, I got a very good discount 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Just come back from Lidl with two pairs of great safety shoes. £18.00 per pair. Limited stock at my local branch and I have no idea how long they will last, but must be better than the pair of normal hi-tec trainers that I have at the moment which are rubbish and weren't cheap (for once!!) https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/online-leaflets/02-06-08-06-lidl-weekly-e84946/view/flyer/page/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down the railway where I work I teach Personal Track Safety and always advocate the wearing of safety boots when appropriate. I usually recommend people get safety chukka boots from Toolstation which cost about £12 a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Thanks for the heads up, but the cheapest safety boots that I could find on Toolstation were £17.62, reduced from £29.98, or Chukkas from £19.98 (06/06/2022) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed Tool Station web site, is the same for everyone?. Apologies, if I should find out what a URL, is, before asking. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 The boots that Stratton J posted the web address for are an excellent price but are clearance lines and there are only a couple of pairs in certain branches and they are not available via t'interweb. I am very happy with my Lidl ones, except that I have now got them dirty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
