Re: Lidl tools
I frequent a woodworking forum and the thoughts on there are that Parkside tools are pretty reasonable and worth the money.

Re: Lidl tools
Are these the same as Aldi tools? But painted green. I've not been too pleased with the one I've had.

Re: Lidl tools
I'm pretty sure they are the same thing.

Re: Lidl tools
Yeah, I tend to agree. I bought an Aldi air impact gun for wheel nuts and to be frank, it doesn't have anywhere near enough grunt for wheel nuts. Cheap tools are cheap for a reason from my own experience. Also, sockets with black paint rather than chemical hardening are suspect to me. Impact rated tools are not cheap to produce and I have seen a non impact rated socket explode before now which is an image that tends to stay in the mind. It was like shrapnel from a WW2 shell and could easily have blinded someone. Bloody dangerous.

Re: Lidl tools
I'm still using (and abusing...) Snap-On spanners, sockets, screwdrivers I've had since I was 21 - that's a lonnnngggg time ago - when I had hair.
They were a series of presents to work on my motorbikes with and are still going strong.
Tried an Aldi impact gun - after a couple of uses it was parked in the bin....

Re: Lidl tools
I think that you have to keep in mind that you really do get what you pay for, well, almost always.
I bought Aldi spanners 'cos I knew they'd be soft and i'd be able to easily grind/file them thinner so they'd fit on the calliper pins. I bought Lidl air tools for the hoses, connectors and non-critical bits ( needle blower, tyre inflator, gauges, oiler, sand blaster) but spent bigger on the actual power tools, so Sealy gun and wrench.
If I want a spanner to behave I use my Halfrauds Pro set, if it's just being used as a drift I use the Aldi ones. I do believe they all have their place...
