This seems like a really good deal from Lidl, £30 for a 10.8v lithium ion drill
http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl ... _17347.htm

Also seems like a cracking deal on orbital sanding sheets, 30 of them for £2.99
http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl ... _17358.htm

orbital sander for £16.99
http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl ... _17354.htm

All these offers start on Jan, 24th

Cheers, John

I can endorse the sanding sheets as I bought a pack last time they sold them. They are good quality and last well giving a good finish. I have a triangular detail sander than I stick the circular sheets on. If I need to go into corners with the point I trim them to fit.

Hi,

that's a good tip about trimming the sanding sheets to fit a detail/triangular sander, especially when they are only £2.99 for 30 sheets.


Cheers, John

Is the parkside stuff decent?

The next time they are selling the circular saw I may have a wee swatch at it

dustsheets look like they might be worth a go too.

if you want the odd tool they are perfect they tend to last and iff it packs up within the gtee you get your money back

i would always stretch to ryobi iff you can because its so flexable with so many tools if you want to build up a kit

I have several Parkside products, I've been very pleased with all. As b-a says, good warranty, be sure to keep your till receipts though.

Hi,

meant to say, sent the wife in for me but she says there were none of the 10.8v drills available, she did get me a few boxes of the orbital sanding sheets though.

Did anyone get one of the drills ?

Cheers, John
