    Aldi tools

    Are the tools that Aldi sells any good or is it all junk that will break easily

    never bought there tools so cant honestly answer
    I never go into the outback with out a decent supply of water,
    and the general rule for how much you'll need is three litres
    per day , per person, per man per degree over 25 degrees
    celcius, per kilometer if walking on foot, in the winter months
    dividing it by two, plus... another litre... at the end .... Russell Coight

    I find them hit and miss. Most have been really good but all the cordless stuff was crap....

    I've bout a heap of stuff from Aldi over the years and been very happy with the quality. Had one warranty claim and they replaced it, no questions asked. Even covered postage.
    I've got two of their TVs, compressor and all their air tools, compound mitre saw and lots if other stuff.

    I should also add, any issues I had with cordless stuff was replaced under warranty, including batteries. So yes great customer service

    nothing in particular I saw they had some specials this week, one being a petrol powered high pressure hose setup. then saw they had a special on drill bits which perked my interest but if its rubbish there's no point buying it.

    I've had no issues with there stuff. Even returned a tablet within its 30 day satisfaction guarantee, no questions asked. Have had one of their 3 way fridges and tyre compressor for almost 10 years never had a problem.

    I found their drill bits to be rubbish. Blunt from factoy it seems and snap easily if you are drilling into anything harder than plastic. Cordless stuff is not the best. Did not last very long, if you are on a budget I would personally suggest Ryobi One stuff from bunnings. I have been very happy with eveything else I've tried fome Aldi that I haven't mentioned above

    Cheers, Danny
