Default Aldi 18v Li Ion circular saw

Sorry to post a power tool review on this EU discussion group.

Aldi had the above on sale last week @ £69:99. 150mm circular saw,
parallel guide, 1 hour charger, 24 tooth TCT blade, decent carry case &
one 18v 3 A/hr Li Ion battery. In the case was an offer leaflet for
another battery @ £40, so I bought one which arrived in 3 days.

Apparently Workzone Titanium+ is Aldis premium range of power tools and
AIUI are available all the time, not just offers. "Made" by Walter
Werkzuerge Saltzburg GMBH, no indication of where it's actually made
though. Very good instruction book in perfect English.

Not used in anger yet, but I'm very impressed with it so far. Cast
alluminum base, decent quality rip fence and it has a nice 'heft' to it.
Seems well made.

Batteries have an LED indicator showing charge level, charger has
similar. No riving knife (a benefit IMO) safety trigger button & a
laser (not much use to me).

150mm x 10mm blades seem to be easily available.

Time will tell, but so far I'm very impressed with it. £110 for an 18v
saw & 2 x 3 A/hr Li Ion batteries is a pretty good deal IMO.

I got the Lidl one earlier this year. Fairly similar spec, but only a 1.6
amp.hr battery - shared with other models I have so ok. But IIRC was about
40 quid, and spare batteries under 30 quid.

I do have a larger mains one for heavy duty work, so this one is fine for
smaller work.
