  • Anyone on here use Lidl middle aisle tools? I need stuff like drills and sanding machines. Brands that I recognise are like 5x more, but is that worth it?

  • Some are good, some aren't. Luckily almost every one is reviewed on Youtube so you can make a decision.
    I've got a little bench grinder which is fine for sharpening chisels, and an electric hedge trimmer which has trimmed my hedges electrically without any trouble.

    Most are rebranded Scheppach tools.
    I bought a table saw from there which was actually Schepacch branded.

    As has been said, avoid the cordless, because random battery system.

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    This makes me want to cry.

    The number of times I've seen people waste perfectly good (and sometimes quite expensive chisels) by sharpening them on a bench grinder and blueing the steel makes me very wary of taking mine anywhere near one. If price and speed are called for then scary sharp is the way to go.
