Gave my son on for Christmas a couple of years ago. It goes camping with
us and is very reliable. Ideal for kids as they can run it flat without
it mattering.

If it's a wind-up, why the battery?

So you don't have to wind it continually. A minutes winding lasts for ages.

I have a visually identical one bought in a Morrisons garage. Absolutely
excellent bit of kit, not the brightest torch but perfectly adequate for
most tasks and it always works. I may get another couple.

You charge the battery as you wind.

Probably takes over when the wind up genny is near its ending sequence, so
that you don't have to shuffle about looking for it in the dark. lol

Nah! man some stuff is worth the money,the Bench Drill I bought in Aldi two
weeks ago was a bloody damn good bargain at 30GBP since I bought it me

set where good for 4.99GBP and the wood chisels at the same price.

Lidl at one time had hand tools: pliers, long nosed, etc for 99p each. They
were the equivalent quality as Stanley which are about £9 a go. I went wild
and bought 5 of them.

I would have loved to be in the store when you took it back to Lidl if
it hadn't been a "good bargain". Are you dylsexick? Or were you using
the drill to improve the holes in your head?

You'd have had a wasted journey then,as I would have been at Aldi.

It's a long long time since the Stanley name was any guide to quality.

I went wild and bought 5 of them.

That would be one pair for each hand, then?

To get past the name calling from you wonderful experts. This little amateur
has bought many things from Lidl and always been happy. You have to be
selective.

I bought a good drill for about forty pounds just after Christmas. I have
brought a firts class hose pipe for about two quid there.

I ought a brilliant pair of seceteurs for £1.99.

I have bought bedding, garden things, pots, fencing, plants and I have
always been pleased with them.
