They have some quite interesting stuff on the 7th of this month.


Diamond core drill with bits and pieces for 29.99

After all the hype on here, I succumbed to some Aldi diamond disks.
They are crap. *I spent hours hacking away at some concrete with a
(then new) big grinder, which I then replaced with a decent Marcrist
blade. *Cutting was at least 10 times as quick. *Probably a bit
cheaper per amount cut going the Aldi route, but life really is much
too short especially with all that noise and dust around.


I don't use Aldi much, but Lidl refund your money without question
provided you have the receipt.


They work, so I would not feel justified in asking for my money back.
It's just that they just work about as well as their price implies,
rather than being a bargain with equivalent performance to something
which costs more. I'd rather pay more (even if it is quite a lot more)
for something better and in particular much more quick cutting.
