    Aldi Torque Wrench

    Aldi have a Torque wrench for sale for $30. Bought one today to use to tighten my wheel nuts. I like to be sure my nuts are tight!

    For $30 it is a fine bit of Chinese engineering, wouldn't rely on it for fine tolerance work or constant use, but as a fancy wheel brace, or once in a blue moon need it fits the bill.
    Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on

    Thansk for the feedback TimE.

    I don't mind Aldi for the thrash around tools. To be honest I still have a drop saw that I got from Aldi for $60 and use it to chop up thin stringy bark trees for the fire and after 3 years of absolute punishment It's still going strong. I have jammed the hell out of it until it starts smoking and to this day (touch wood) it still has not popped!

    I have found "ALDI" tools , elec appliances all good. except the recovery kits had a recall on a batch of the snatch straps.

    Rossco has been losing all his bets his been making, and AB been making decisions, Doggie become a force to reckon with, Paul promoted, Much more help and advice is available for all sorts of things and you've been missed.
