Their online ordering system looks pretty good, and free at the moment.
Online works better for me because of the email receipt.

When compared to which other suppliers that include a 3 year warranty?

Is that what you buy your tools based on?

It is a factor when considering a budget tool purchase for me. At least
it provides a backstop if **** happens.
In practise, Aldidl tool purchases have been reliable and I've not had
to return anything under warranty.
I was trying to discover where you consider that better VFM can be obtained?

It does indicate a degree of confidence in the product that other
manufacturers don't have in theirs.

No it doesn't. The rate of returns is low, even lower for better tools. Paying for extended warranties is just not a good deal.

Sounds like a call to arm up. What's the project. Revolution?

I like the look of the drill at the price.
The info doesn't mention either the inclusion or the availability of a spare battery.
Are the batteries a generic item, available from other sources?

Any opinions on the 'Universal Wood Care Oil'?

I have the dregs of some Liberon Finishing Oil which originally came from TS
but they don't sell it any more. It's done rather well, so looking for
something similar to replace.

The Aldi stuff is very non-descriptive, but comes in several shades which
suggests it's more of a stain than an oil? Plus it comes in a tin not a can
which suggests it's intended for brush rather than cloth application.

To answer my own question, I had a look and it claimed to be a 'glaze' but
ingredients included polyurethane. The instructions were to apply with a
brush but talk about absorption, so I suppose it's more varnish-like.

We don't have a local Aldi but I just bought the Lidl (Parkside) 125mm
angle grinder for £19.99, plus two packs of disks for £7.
First impressions are that it's rather good, much nicer than their
ancient "Power Devil" it's replacing.
My Parkside random orbit sander has had a lot of use and hasn't let me
down so far.

Yes. IMHO, Lidl power tools are head and shoulders above other budget
makes at the same sort of price. I expect the same applies to Aldi.
