One tip for Lidl and Aldi tools is staple the receipt to the instructions and file them away. The guarantees are excellent but you need the receipt plus instructions give you details of where to apply in the case of a warrantee claim.

They list 2, 24L and a 50L Yes , i was going on a leaflet in the paper that said the 28th , looking it up its all avaliable on the 18th , and a bigger 50l compressor as well !!! I'm going to have a field day in there ! Looks like i might get the spray gun , impact wrench and dodgy sandblaster kit . |

Looks like i might get the spray gun , impact wrench and dodgy sandblaster kit . I've read an article somewhere about modifying the impact wrenches to get acceptable performance. I got one of the gravity fed HVLP guns, its cheap but surprisingly good for what it cost obviously its not on par with a DeVilbiss etc. |

I've used some of their tools before.. Concidering the price. They are excellent value.
Some air tools are pretty good.. Others are worse than useless.. But worth a punt.

I bought a compressor about 7 years ago has been used lots and never gave me a problem, thinking about that a oil change may be a good idea never done one

Don't waste your money on the sandblaster kit, but the metal shears are amazing value for money. |

Nothing but praise for aldi/lidl tools from me, but will say, the supplied air lines are restrictive, use a larger bore line and the tools perform really well. I rubbed down and resprayed a mk2 transit motorhome, using aldi compressor and spraygun with a cheapy DA to rub down. Only modification was a calor gas bottle plumbed in as extra capacity
