None in stock.
Tbh this is all just a cunning ploy to get you in store and buy their boxes of broken biscuits!

Parkside supporters can go the whole hog and wear the official branded team kit
Middle of Lidl
Saying that, they do have an electric weed burner for £25, I don't need one, I really don't.
But I might have to go for a drive, look what you made me do!

Less than the cost (of a Wetherspoons?) pint. I wonder which would last longer?... Hmmm....

I've still got one of those. It hasn't had a hard life and is still working after about 20 years.
WIRE WHEEL!!
Why no wire wheel? Best thing ever
Agree about one for each process though. However if I were looking to spend £80+ on a 115 grinder I'd get or three of the Guild ones
+ one for the cheepies, you just never know; I bought a cheepie "Guild" (£13 in a homebase sale) for the numpties on a job, turns out it's as good as the Makitas, the Metabo, the Hikoki and way way better than the v carp Bosch, each of which cost at least five times as much. I love the deadman's switch on the Guild especially in comparison to the switch on the Makita which is tricky and in spite of numptie's best efforts they couldn't break it and it still does a great job daily.

Those are very nice, plenty of power and a slim grip. 3 yr guarantee I think.
Know what you mean, they do like to share themselves about.
Just check that they're not the ones made in Russia, the gearbox grease doesn't last, maybe that's why they're discounted?For £35

After all the excitement of the Aldi Ferrex tools I bought some to try out
Massive disappointment, the drill couldn't drill a 40mm holesaw into wood. For comparison my old (non brushless) 18v Makita would regularly drill 127mm holes without complaint, the new brushless one absolutely flew through

I'm afraid it was too late for mine & all the others have just kept chugging along without any interference. It hadn't even occurred to me that I should be checking them... but tomorrow 1st thing, there'll be an inspection & full grinders will have gearboxes checked for graunchiness.

Thanks for the link, I just bought three of them. Depot is only a few miles away so if they go bang they can have them back.

Surely they can't be that under-powered?

They were terrible, but in context I have used pro kit for 20+ years so may have high expectations
