http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?id=541

Sliding mitre saw £80
sds mains drill £40
big angle grinder £35
hand tools and discs drill bits and mitre saw blades spirit levels


Also Monday and Thursday some Garden tools

OOh, I like the look of those saw blades. They'll fit my mitre saw, and are nice fine ones. One looks as though it's for something other than wood...............
I wonder if they are TCT?

Mind you I'm tempted by the SDS drill and the big angle grinder too..............

For anyone that buys the multi tool blades......they are crap!! I've used them a few times and they really struggle to cut timber.

Second that, not too bad cutting through metal or plastic but wood is rubbish

Stevie I can't see the multi tool blades in that advertisement. Were you just informing us in general?

Sorry,yeah just in general. I bought a pack of the parkside blades a couple of weeks ago,they are nice and cheap but they're pretty poor tbh.

I bought the Parkside multi tool & the switch is knackered after very little use!!!
So I wouldn't recommend that item either.........

However, a lot of their stuff is good enough for DIY use.........

One is for aluminium but it's also good for plastic or very thin wood. They are TCT and they are not bad at all, I use them in my 210 chop saw and my 254mm SCMS (with a packing board).

The clips for brooms and spades are really great space savers for your shed.

But yeah probably some other good deals around but check levels work etc and occasionally other shops beat them on price.

The set squares that they do sometimes aren't square btw.

Popped into Bath LIDL yesterday and they had some 1400Watt SDS demolition hammers for...............................£24.99!
And that was with 4 chisels, some drills and a chuck adaptor!

One is for aluminium

Thanks Rorschach, that looks like the 80 tooth one. fab, I've been after an aluminium blade for some time.

No probs.

At those prices grab a couple of packs and mark one blade for Aly and keep another sharp for PVC etc.

Just been in Lidl this morning and forgot to look at the tool section

Dont know what the Parkside grinders are like but most cheap grinders and discs are horrendous for vibration.
