I bought the Netto version a couple of years ago and it's handy as a detail sander and for cutting into door or window frames for taking them out.

i got an air body saw from aldi once, i'd never buy another aldi tool, it didn't even get the one job done before it started jamming on, then the reciprocating piston thing wore out it was the roughest bit of "machining" i've ever seen.... it was totally full of aluminium powder when i took the blade cover off (i wasn't cutting aluminium) took it back the same day i bought it and got my £30 back though, that's about the only good thing i can say about them
