Bargain tools at Aldi.

I picked up 6 tins of the stove paint yesterday, Thanks for the tip.
I also bought, on impulse, a 21 ft caravan cover as it was reduced even though I haven't got a caravan! I think with some scaffolding poles (I've got some curved roof bits already) it will make a halfway decent temporary car shelter/ workshop.
BTW the fig flavoured balsamic vinegar is very nice, I'm going to get some more,

Be careful, they may have that warning due to lack of UV filter. Using them close up could be a real eye and skin cancer hazard.

Glass filters uv so if they've got a glass front they will be ok, I imagine that its the heat they'll give off that is more likely to be the issue.

I saw the breaker a few weeks ago, and though I have no need for one, I was amused by the statement that it is a two man lift due to the wieght.

How much was the caravan cover ?

Actually I have a need for a breaker so will go any look if my local store has them reduced.

The £89.99 table saw that's currently in is actually an Einhell RT-TS1725/1U, which normally retails for around £180. Not bad for occasional use although obviously out of the box it's not going to be perfectly aligned or have a sophisticated fence like a saw costing over £400 might have. I bought one and it's been perfect for ripping 12mm off the sides of a couple of doors.

IIRC it was about £45 to £50 (19 to 21ft). Still haven't got the poles for it. Looking for 2nd hand aluminium scaffolding poles or similar.

I don't kow if it's still available in the Birmingham store http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/caravan-cover-19-21ft-reduced-50-34-99-aldi-2201105

some decent stuff at Lidl soon

I like the price on the drill, and the hand tools look good. I'll also be going for some of those chisels after seeing Paul Sellers youtube video about them.

The Japanese saw is an interesting adition. I have used one once or twice, and although it takes a little to get used to, mechanically it seems better.

Thank you I like your idea I may do the same ..

I have the lidl chisels and Japanese saw, both are decent quality. I also have a couple of boxes of those screwdriver bits in the small boxes, they are decent too.

 

[Wendelspanswick]

I like the look of the pullsaw, I have the Irwin one and it's good but difficult to get replacement blades for, it's easier to buy a complete new saw!

Aldi wheel of fortune:

Our local one had dvds reduced to £1.99. Mostly the ones that are three quid in Tesco, but some good ones like The Babadook, Conjuring 2, Hot Tub Time Machine.

this weeks reductions

I went into Aldi in Cirencester this afternoon & the compressor was £79 there, reduced from £89, sounds like a good deal if you want one
