I'll bet they have en suite & everything...

[Andy Hall]

Of course.... Nicely insulated too.

Andy - I didn't think you'd tolerate a pet called Guinea - it's such a British, non-EU sort of name :-)

[Andy Hall]

You're right. I used their pen names.

I bought the Aldi machine last year for a specific project where I worked it hard for 2 weeks. It worked well, and came with 3 years warranty, can't see any restrictions in the warranty ruling out trade use so for my £49.99 I am guaranteed a machine for 3 years.

I also have a Lidl SDS hammer drill, now that has had a hard life having renovated a cottage and done masses of work on my present home. I even dug gatepost holes in solid rock with it. The original died at 24 months old, my fault really for using it to break up concrete in a fireplace with it flat on the old carpet blocking the air intake. It started spitting sparks and smoke. Called the helpline, emailed them the receipt and cover of the handbook, they sent me a whole new kit including the case, drill bits and chisels. Now that was a result as I had worn out the original chisels, and broken one of the drill bits.
