Buy a proper engineers vice if you bend a lot of steel. and that is a Lidl vice. :-) -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

This is indicated by the fact that it's a) made of alloy, and b) fixes to a "worktop" with a rubber sucker or clips over an edge and is held by a screw clip. |

I did quickly look on their site (from the OP's link but couldn't see a 'Find your nearest store' (it's obviously there, just didn't spot it). Apparently, the Edmonton store is only 5.5 miles away but unless they have a car park I would be better off leaving the car here and walking there ;-( All the best .. T i m |

However I seem to remember some problems at one of them. Remember to be first in the queue if you want electronic goods. Arrive as the doors open for other goods. I was 1/2 hr late this Monday looking for a spare steam iron, and they had all gone :-((( -- Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk The London suicide bombers killed innocent commuters.
