Looks like a copy of my real Dremel.

£13 for the stand/shaft seem like a deal...

I've got a Woolworth's version of a Dremmel (seriously) which is one of the best and most used Christmas presents I've ever had! All the genuine heads fit in it, flex drive and stand, hard case and dozens of bits in the box. Looks just like this one.

Just think - with one of these your lawnmower blades will always be sharp...

i always strip the motor on cheap ones i did the 5th one a few months back, im buying that however

Intricate jobs...

;)

[Nobbylad]

Cutting a slot in the heads of hex bolts when they're foobard so you can get a screwy in them to undo

[Wideboy]

and thats why i have stripped the motors/gears :lol:

I got one of these from Aldi on a previous offer. Very handy for those odd jobs

Get down there quick as they had digital vernier gauges too for £3.99

My most useful tool in the garage

Think some have been known to use polishing attachments to bull up their downpipes.

[Wideboy]

are teh doing the bit box?, they did one a while back with loads of bits in for 2.99, really worth the money still got mine after 2 years

I'm sure they get their stuff from the same factory, just aldi's is blue, lidl's is green

oh yeah don't doubt that . their trimmer cutters are awesome aswell, 4.99 for a box of cutters, i bought 3 boxes expecting to blunt them real quick and at that price you can just chuck them, im only on the second box and its been over a year

That's because most of their stuff passed the German TUV test, which is like our British Standard.

The German's won't buy any old rubbish. All the tools I've bought from Aldi or Lidl have done the job I needed them for, without breaking the bank. I don't expect them to last forever and the only one that's gone tits up, was a fence sprayer

[Sir Trev]

what do these come in use for ?

Cutting, grinding, sharpening, polishing, shaping, rasping, and so on... in spaces too small to get a full size tool in to.

I used my cheapy one to make a castleated nut to undo my swingarm for instance. I now have a full size angle grinder (needed to cut through paving slabs) but something this heavy and cumbersome would not have made such a neat job of the nut.

kool i might buy one for polishing,
