001 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Bought one today at Shrewsbury Aldi. Appears to be good quality but doesn't have a chuck. (Just a collet fitting that I am not used to.) The Combi tool set at £2.91 is incredible value and costs about the same as one Dremel tool. It is not just a Sunday special. There were a good number on sale today.Also C size (not sub C) 4000 mah Nimh cells at £1.99 for a two pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Very good spot. I've picked one up today and the included flexi drive and stand make this an absolute steal. Also fully endorse Richard's comment re the tool set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erfolg Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well TimboI go to Aldi, to look for the Gas soldering iron, the £15 drill, and they do not have them. Why o why does my store not have these bargins, Do you know, does any one else know?Erfolg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Lloyd Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I swore I would never step in an Aldi, but followed the missus in last week and came out with one of these. How DO they make these and sell them for less than £15??? I doubt Aldi make 100%, but if they buy them at £10, the wholesaler at £5 etc etc, then we are looking at a couple of quids worth here! I had already looked at a basic Dremel set, which started at £35 or so - without a flexible shaft - so this was a no-brainer. For the amount of use mine will get, I'm now sorted! Should have posted it up here but good ol' Timbo beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Hailey Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi all I can only take my hat of to Aldi, for there no noncens prices and to how hard the staff work to keep these shores running so well. I have had so meany difrent tools over the years I have been shopping at Aldi and have had little or no coars to come plain about there store running ability and think others should take a closer look at how a real shop sould be run and how thay can then pass on the savings to us there now faithfull customers. happy savings Owen.

Barry Taylor Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I go to Aldi, to look for the Gas soldering iron, the £15 drill, and they do not have them. Why o why does my store not have these bargins, Do you know, does any one else know? Erfolg, be patient, Aldi repeat sell these items quite regularly. I've had the rotary drill for a couple of years now and it get hammered regularly and stands up to the punishment very well. Top notch gear in my opinion and cheap as chips. My workshop is kitted out with most of the stuff Aldi sell (Workzone) and its all pretty durable. The gas torch looks good too. I got one that looks exactly the same from Maplins. Cost me £19 but was well worth it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ridgeon Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I bought it for drilling mainly but i have a good selection of accesories discs abrasive bits etc are there any obvious modeling uses that i have missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank killan Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Rotary sanding discs good for ripping through plywood especially in awkward to get at situations. Cut off wheels good for cutting piano wire and anything awkward to get at. Frank Killan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon B Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Halfords are now selling these at £14.99. Might get one tomorrow Edited By Simon B on 29/01/2011 00:30:43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 9 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Cheers Martyn. Maplin should have thought of them they also have a cordless one here that looks good. a bit more money though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W-O Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Maybe just me, but I don't like collet chucks. I have a Dremel and a Hobbycraft both with 3 jaw adjustable chucks, I always look at boot sales for the ones with adjustable chucks, they seem to cost a fortune in the shops, if anyone sees them at reasonable price, would e nice if they posted it.

Spice Cat Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I find that Lidl's often advertise tools but you can only get then in store. They had a paint stripping gun for £9.99 last time that looked suspiciously like an Irvine heat sealing gun priced at the time at £39.99. Trouble is, you can only get this stuff in store.

Mowerman Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I would be very carefull with the paint stripper, I suspect it would be much too powerfull (too hot) for heat sealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazygit Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Some may find the dremel clone acceptable, but I don't think much of them, (or the dremel come to that) I had a clone as a free gift when I first took out RCM&E. It was rubbish. I put a small drill < 1mm in the chuck and found it had 0.5mm run out. That makes it totally useless as a drill. Better buy Proxxon and have something that does the job you thought you were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
