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.

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
