Or just take it back and tell 'em it's no good! That's the beauty of Lidl.
I bought one of the little spirit levels with a laser built into it from there a few years ago, more or less on a whim, and it's surprisingly accurate. It's only any good for little jobs though.

ETA It's bank holiday Monday though isn't it? I reckon they'll go pretty quick!

The lasers are sh*t,the sparky I work beside bought one and took it back. They aren't accurate enough for professional use.
The jigsaw looks worth a punt at 25 quid tho.

Sounds like sh*t then :lol:

I do not really need one, it just looked like a nice bit of kit to have for when I might need it. A bit like the tap and die set I bought that I had no idea what I wanted it for but then I actually used it a few weeks back for a little job :thumbright:

I bought the inspection probe/camera. Very pleased with it - nothing too fancy, but will come in handy in my trade. I also bought the hot air gun & soldering iron the last time they were on offer, while they'll not take a lot of site abuse, they're good value for the money I paid;
