well it looks like i'm getting a needle scaler and a air hammer. The air hammer will be used in a new project that i saw in practical classics. a plenishing machine.
also just peeked on the aldi site.
there is a 500W circular saw that cuts mild steel

Thanks for the heads up. I need to double up on some tools, so it looks like Lidl are going to get quite a bit of business from me on Thursday.

Hmmm There is also a CFL PRI flood lamp. No I now it will only use al fraction of the power of a 500W halogen, but it will turn on dim, then warm up, so you can see then turn off again. Dont see the point in that, surely it would ned to be an led one to ba any good.

just popped into aldi on the way home and got one of the 500W saws. £30 well spent
I'm actually quite impressed to be honest, Its just cut a clean edge through 2mm sheet steel.
they also have the 125mm variable speed grinders left for £20
Its small an light, so not as cumbersome at a full size circular saw.
There doesn't appear to be any depth adjustment. there is a hinge on the front but the rear is fixed with a set screw.

That's a link for Aldi - weren't we talking about Lidl? Or did I miss the point again?

Yep! I did miss the point. Again!
Does any one have any experience with the compressor? I need one for light use, pumping tyres and snaping off bolts and rounding nuts on the car!
Joking aside I was trying to spray pain the fence with my tiny tanked compressor and it was a tedious task. I will be buying a cut 50 plasma too and would like to use it for that.

I have an 110v Apollo 1500 HVLP set up that make very light work of spraying fence panels - I have around 30 and modern rubbish preservative means at least two coats needed on both sides
Whilst my Apollo (around £300) is a little OTT for fencing you can get far cheaper HVLP set ups off eBay etc that will exactly the same job just as well.

I have same model as you I brought it for spraying my car but used it for spraying my new fence panels does a great job. Have you used it for your car etc ?

all lidl and aldi tools have 3 yr warranty. and they don't argue either, they just refund or exchange without a fuss in my experience.
