Title: Tools (Lidl)
Post by: Olds on October 09, 2017, 05:45:24 PM
I got dragged into Lidl and just happened to find what I had set out to buy elsewhere.
I need to remove an exhaust but there isn't much room and I hate using an angle grinder under a car, especially near the fuel tank.
Lidl are selling tools again and one of them is a pneumatic saw ( £12.99 ) Perfect timing. :D
So far I've had no problems with tools from them and I hope this will be the same.

They have some very useful tools too, I have a very strange ratchet that's for wing nuts.
I also bought a 1/4" ratchet and a 3/8" ratchet handle both are of excellent quality.
The only tool i have bought that I was a bit disappointing with was the grinder/belt sander which is a bit under powered but with some modification does work well enough.

Not allowed to by any more tools for the next month or so as I now have a Milling machine installed in my garage, 1/4 ton of cast iron made in the early 60's.
