If you are in France, Lidl are going brico-loco on 28th Jan.
Belt Sander €39,99; Jigsaw €29,99; Bench grinder €19,99.
Toolbox, ultrasonic measure, storage cabinets, craft knife set with dinky little micrometer (€8,99 so clearly a serious bit of kit); drills, tape, jigsaw blades - a veritable cornucopia of cut price kit. And a load of baby-safety stuff. Breathtakingly exciting.

Aldi France are just doing cusine stuff. Nothing much exciting unless you desperately need tea towels (and you'd have to be).

Fill yer boots!

:lol:

Anyone tried the belt sanders?

 

[Smudger]

No, but I've just seen that it has a clamp for fixed, and even vertical sanding.

why not here I wonder....

 

[Smudger]

They're not selling them, they're recalling them - which might be the reason why!

that explains the lack of price then. (and my lack of French)
I did promise myself the last time i bought I some tools at Lidl.
never again,
until next time

I think (given that it is made by Ferm) that this is the same as my cheapo from Screwfix, which has been working pretty much OK for the past several years.The guard went pretty soon, and the chuck fell off once (it's an interference fit) and it lacks real grunt,but it's OK.
