Their cutting discs and flap wheels are superb too. Always a must buy.

Probably not relevant for a car forum, not always the best source,

the saw horses they have for £19.99 you can get the same with a better customer rating at Screwfix for the same price.

I'll be after their air line holder for £20!

Look on ebay for the endoscopes. Ive just discovered the ones you can get for your mobile phones.
7mm diameter
Multi led (dimmable)
Different lengths and compatable with the camera on android and apple phones. Take pictures or record videos in colour.
Brilliant idea for about £10

Cheap spanners tend to be cr@p spanners.

Ok to carry round in the car for emergencies but not for "best".

I snapped an Aldi 15mm this week trying to loosen the turbo manifold nuts on my volvo engine

[welshpug]

lidl have £80 compressors already, however they wont run the air tools they sell next to them...

[shielsy68]

compressor is only good for blowing up tyres , and slowly at that , spanners curse word,

[slammedorion]

Ok for painting panels...
I've had awesome results from my Aldi compressor and I've done nothing to it bar drain water out of it before use
Bet I've had mine 6-7 years now
I want to replace it with something bigger but while it keeps going I'll keep using it









Bumpers, side skirts, mirrors, grill, spoiler done on the Saff





Radiators for the house

A lot of Aldi and Lidl stuff is sold by Screwfix and Toolstation for the same price or cheaper but the general public don't know that so think they are getting a bargain of the year.

Be careful with them, they're 125mm, & won't fit on a standard 115mm grinder, unless you remove the guard.

[vanpeebles]

We have a selection of grinders, but as you say, they don't fit the small ones until they are worn down

That's handy to know ( that they're 125mm), as I have two grinders I've bought back with me from Oz, that I find difficult to find discs for 👍🏽👍🏽

[neilsdavies]

I've modified the guard for one of my grinders to take the 125mm Aldi flapwheels. Worth spending the time to do it as the discs are so much cheaper than the 115's anywhere else.

The Aldi Li-Ion drill/driver that they've got in this week is well with the £29.99. I got one last time and its cracking. Also bought their little go-pro type camera earlier this month, which was a bargain at £24.99!

[kevins]

Ive got 3 of them I have collected over the years, the oldest one must be 15 years old now, even caught fire once (good idea to blow the dust out occasionally) but still works OK, one is fine for spraying if I want to use air tools or blasting I just link them together.

Just ordered a set of spanners. Thanks for the heads up OP! Better to have and not need.....
