Airbags at Lidl

Good price, not that I found any issue with the bulb/button arrangement for inflating/deflating winbags

Not that good a price:

I meant the lidl price, not the tradecounter price ...

Who knew air could be so useful. Brian

Bought some in my Lidl a couple of months ago. Wonder if I will ever use them though. Or if I will remember where I put them when I think of a use.

I've found them very useful for lifting washing machines and freezers up to adjust their legs. I think one of the main things they are designed for is fitting window frames, if you have a few of them (the bags that is).

I've also found them useful for lifting heavy doors up so you can get the hinge in line with the screw holes and I had a baby gate that needed taking apart and an airbag was the only way I could exert enough force on it without damaging it.

One day I might find a child with their head stuck in some railings and they'd be useful then too!

That's what I bought mine for, replaced all doors and windows single-handed using them (apart from a lift into place with the largest one).

Both useful tips, must try to remember them. I knew about the use on window frames but don't have any plans to do this ever!

Don't think the little lidl ones would be strong enough for that. However I kept a couple of scissor jacks out of scrapped cars, they have come out of storage occasionally to jack up a joist.

I find them handy for various wood working applications where you need a spreader clamp (can be augmented with a length of wood for more reach)

Think I saw some in Aldi,did not buy, now am kicking myself.

and tested product.

I think the Lidl ones are better than Winbags because on the Lidl ones you turn a turn a knob to release some air, on the Winbag you press a button - the former gives much finer control than the latter - just like on an old fashioned hospital sphygmomanometer (blood pressure machine).
