I got one of these from Netto a couple of years ago

Possibly the best bargain shop thing I've bought.

I've just got one of the Aldi ones. Seems very good so far. Reads all my
feeler gauges on the dot, for a start.

Yeah - I paid £5 at Netto, then saw the exact same model in screwfix
for £20.

It's a nicely machined bit of stainless steel, and checked against my
micrometer the accuracy is sterling.

So don't be sore, even at £30 it's a nicely made/working tool.

I suspect they may be product dumping because the battery hatch has a
habit of falling off (gaffa tape around mine) - and it will chew
through batteries if you forget to turn it off every time you put it
down.

I got one at Aldi a few weeks ago, and your right it is a bargain.
Quite accurate and usefull.

You'd better buy some *Anti wrinkle night cream* then, in the same

I thought this was a DIY group? You don't need condoms for DIY. Condoms are
for sharing.

There was a saying in the RAF that you only need a big hammer and a condom to
do any job (if the hammer doesn't do it then f*ck it).

I suppose the little teat on the end fits the stub antenna perfectly.
The difficulty I see is putting it your ear and being called a

I'm a bit confused with regards to the ladder?

If both side are 251cm and extends to an upright position height of
419cm,surely that cant be right? by my calculations it should extend to
502cm

It says it "extends from 251cm to 419cm as a single ladder", so it must
slide rather than just unfold. If it slides it must have an overlap - 502
less 419 = 83cm.

Decided to have a look.

Machine screw selection at 3.99 seemed well worth it, as was the 19 piece
drill set in a decent steel box at the same. Aluminium case was cheap too.

But I thought the bit and ratchet set (mainly Torx and allen) good value
and seems very well made.

I bought a second digital vernier as I'm always mislaying the first
-impressions so far - very good, well worth a tenner

Also bought the taps & dies - they're crap, even for a fiver - but
useful for cleaning up the odd thread. BTW does anyone know what the
odd imperial tap & die included in the box is?

Bought mine and it looks fine. The taps are "second" taps one of each
size. If you only have one tap of each size this is IMO a good idea to
miss "taper" and "plug"

I thought the drill bits where a nasty looking steel,similair the wood
screws they where selling.
On the web site they look the same type I bought out of a shed(brass in
appearence but was dissapointed when I got there today and only ended up
buy a tub of screws and two battery chargers.

Err - 'titanium coated'. Meant to make them stay sharper longer. I drilled
some mild steel with them today and they're at least as good as a B&D etc
shed offering, so decent value.

Yeah. Right.

The only advantage that this place has is that at least it doesn't
smell of rotten goodness knows what like Makro. That's about it,
though.

It is only a quick, thin, cheap flash of colour over ordinary HSS. I think
the colour is a cultural thing. I saw a *high* value, *high* prestige item
in just that colour, it was from France.
