Here's the pointer to hardware releases on Mon 20th
http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/home.nsf/pa...20060220.index

on that day, their flagship item probably is
http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/home.nsf/pa...irit_Level_Kit
for a tenner!

I can't understand what's special about a pancake pan.Why have a pan
exclusively for one purpose? Pancakes can be made in any pan - or none.

Because it has a special pancake compliant surface and the handle is
set at the optimum pancake tossing angle, thereby ensuring perfect
pancakes every time.

Vacuum bags are back!

These are great. Good thick flexible vinyl with an airtight ziplock.
use them with a vac-u-vin stopper and they're just the job for vacuum
laminated woodwork. I've been waiting to get some more.


And mallet testers too

So how do you suck these?

Notably they are restricted to the south west.


It's wonderful, though. The co-ordination between seat cushion, table
cloth, napkins, placemats, oven gloves and apron fall short only on
the bin bags in which to pack these items for disposal at the tip with
the Burberry products.

Laminated woodwork could be veneer on the outside of a box or it could
be gluing a few laminations together whilst bent, so that they stay that
shape once dried.

You can clamp up with clamps, but that's hard work. You also want to
have a continuous even pressure, not a few point clamping forces - so
you can use a "caul", a flexible sheet pulled tight over the job.

If you use a plastic bag as the caul, and you suck the air out of the
inside, then you can have a few psi clamping force over the whole thing,
practically for free.

It's also easier to make jigs that resitst being crushed, rather than
ones that can hold a pressure bag expanding inside them.

I popped in to my local-ish Lidl this morning and got one. Haven't had
a chance to play with it yet, though. Also picked up a couple of the
workbenches, a mitre saw and a few other bits. Bargain!

There were about a dozen people waiting when I got there at 5 to 9,
rising to two dozen by 9 o'clock. All went straight to the discount
tools.

Yes, Spouse said he had time for his breakfast first so came home without
the laser level. Serves him right for not taking notice of me. Not that he
needed the level, it would just have been another toy to clutter the
garage..

But he did spend on retractable knives, diamond sharpeners and a mitre saw
because it's better than the one he lent a son. He has used that already
(making a Mary Rose amputation saw) and is very pleased with it.

Been there done that :-(
My rule now is:
If its Electronic be first in the queue.
For other things be there when the store opens.
Unless you got one, in which case it will still be available a week later

For anyone who missed out on the laser spirit level, B&Q are doing a
clearance on one of their lines. £13.99. I never noticed what make it was
but it looked reasonable.

If it hasn't got a *spare* rechargeable battery (accumulator) in the tenner
asking price, it's worthwehile buying a *couple* at the outset.

Or a Hinari can opener for £7.
So where are you, Eric?
My Netto store is 3 miles away. Don't like it much - as older, non-grocery
goods are always misplaced, topsy-turvy after rummaging, and carelessly
unpriced.

They are disposable too, if my experience of the chargers of that class
of goods is anything to go by.

So say you bought 3 of them so you can get 4 hours continuous use out
of one of them and the chargers all failed one at a time, you'd have
about 4 1/2 hours use for all your effort.
And be stuck with 3 drills to find a corner for.

Of course if you could rebuild the batteries and make yourself a
charger...
Could you plug one into an old 150 watt pc power supply if it had a cut
out on it I wonder? Plenty of them around at one time.

I find a handy item for these is a temperature alarm.
You set an alarm for +2C over room temperature, and stick a pan-scouring
sponge (or something) over it, with a weight on it.
Then just turn it off when it beeps.

You're talking sh*te man, the brother in-law has one, these drills where on
sale last year at £19.99 he's been using it for over 6 months and informs
me its still working and charging.
However its not my cup of tea but it will suffice the general joe public.

The thing with Aldi,Lidl,Netto they resell their products each year till
stocks are exhausted at a further reduced price from the previous year.

The drill looks like a percussion, but the description is of a an SDS.
