Not going to be the best set you can get but for £29.99, might be a useful 2nd/spare set to some?

I do have a similar size set that came in a wallet, mine doesn't have a 29 & 31 either, anyone know why they leave these two sizes out.

this one a better offer than those

Veeerrrry interesting, but no word of drive size [looks like 3/8" to me]? I have a smaller Draper set of 3/8" drive I keep in the car but have to bring into the cave when I need to use sockets [well, anything smaller than my 3/4" set ].

This is cheaper, looks similar[ish] and would suit my needs better, having both 1/2" ans 1/4" sockets.

Drop shippers but feedback across all product ranges looks decent enough, and they've been on the 'Bay for 91/2 years.

Thanks for posting but you've probably cost me [yet] more cash now I'll cogitate over the weekend....

I might invest in one of those cordless soldering irons.

Because generally you dont need them, though the 29 is handy if you play with imperial stuff.

You shall also pay much more if you want those sizes, think the kennedy sets have 29

I like the look of the mains one with digital temp display, bugger, I bought their basic version of this a few months ago.

Spend your money on halfords advanced instead, if you can wait for the specials. Those lidls will be made of cheese.

Because when you get that big 1mm too big isnt going to slip or round that nut off but is a considerable saving in weight and material by leaving them out...just a guess.

I had a shufty through Carshalton Lidl on Thursday to kill a bit of time, I decided not to buy anything therefore could not validate the “free” parking. The Manageress said the parking was for “customers only” and eventually gave me an unused ticket. One of life’s pleasures hunting for bargains out the window.

I bought a few sets for the trucks last time they were on offer and they all seem to have stood up to the " bobsblokestest" so they must be alright.

Occasionally a certain job requires you to grind/bend/modify a spanner, would be a shame to ruin an Halfords one, these Lidl ones would be ideal for that too.

Keep crappy spanners sockets for just that @earthman

I assume the "Running time (full charge): 10 years" might be a typo!

You only buy stuff that you can get on the back of 3 ton truck nowadays ?

Nope, I've given up on that kind of purchase now.

I bought the Halfords advanced 25 piece set for £35 when the offer was highlighted on here last year, really happy with them. I have had mixed experience with Lidl tools, I bought a torx key set and sheared the end off undoing a brake caliper slider on first use. Good to get a full refund, but put me off a bit.

I ought a set a few years ago when they were branding as workzone.

Not had any problems with them At all. They don't necessarily get used all the time but I have slot of spanners so I tend to pick up the first one of the correct size

my roughly 2 year old parkside 20v drill died this week,suspected brushes the way it died,so opened it up for a look.
the brushes are not designed to be replaced,they are inside the motor housing with the cover crimped on in a few places.
you could replace them if needs be,but it isn't a 5 minute job.itll be refunded or replaced anyway though,but it is the only drawback on a tool used heavily in the 2 years ive had it,along with the impact gun and grinder
