Aldi nail gun.

No, if it's not fit for purpose, or of merchantable quality or it breaks at any time in the next 3 years the OP will get their £20 back.

if you or anyone else wants to split it further please consider doing everyone a favour by shoving your pedantic thumb up your pedantic arse and doing a forward somersault out of the window instead.

You most likely wouldn't get your £20 back. You'd get it repaired under warranty. Unless of course you took them to a small claims court to prove your point. In which case you could be a lot more down then £20 if you loss the case.

What's "pedantic" about pointing out you could be down by £20?

Fingers... eyes....

Nothing much really....

But possibly not their eyesight or other pieces of their anatomy when it falls apart.

Compressed air and compressed air tools are very useful - I have a workshop installation and a selection of nailers.

However, compressed air is also very dangerous if used incorrectly or under fault conditions.

Buying and using an air nailer at this quality level and price point is a fool's game and an accident waiting to happen.

imagine, if you can, you present the failed product (if it does fail) at the POS some 18 months from now. do you really think that your average Aldi till bod will be apraised of the correct RMA procedure (like there's going to be one for a £20 product that cost Aldi about £5) or do you think that you'd be issued a refund on the spot, as per Aldi policy ?

if you have to ask......

here she goes again, the old cheap vs expensive argument.

you've got a 'shop full of air kit so you don't want to buy it and I don't buy into your altruistic bullshit 'must protect others' type shtick so I'm left with the conclusion that you're just another interwebmong after an argument, prefering to generate heat instead of light.

if you don't want to buy it, don't.

better, if you have access to the TUV GS CE data , please post it to back up your claim that anyone using this item will be maimed.

Chris Bacon]Having already a small compressor, I wonder whether the £2

pneumatic nailer from Ali is worth having? Any ideas?

I not sure what is on offer but at twenty pounds it is likely to be brad nailer, Ideal for fixing light weight trims /mouldings stabilizing joints et while the glue sets.

You can pay a lot more for this type, but the cheaper guns seem t perform well. The actual nail is more akin to a panel pin, If you are looking fo something heavier as used on many of the DIY programs you need to se your sights higher and go for a multi nailer or a framing nailer. But for the money Its a useful tool

I would expect that the Aldi till operators WOULD be appraised (note correct spelling) of all the necessary procedures for all eventualities. I've been very surprised at their efficiency.

The pent up frustration eloquently flowing out of every repressed pore.

We can all talk your way. I take it you don't use your style of talk in the real world, what with having to suffer the inevitable black eyes and fractures that would be sure to follow.

So why use it here?

What ARE you on about?

I suggest you follow your own advice.

Do you *seriously* think that somebody would repair a £20 item? It would cost more than that to process the paperwork and send it.

Read the full post instead of pulling extracts from it.

This is not a matter of cheap vs. expensive, but a matter of safety and quality.

If you want to value yourself as low as £20 in order to save a little money on a type of tool which if it breaks can maim or kill, then that's your choice.

I would have no intention of doing so.

heh heh heh. righto, interwebmong takes prose for pose, fails miserably.

world surrenders ;-)

thinks of riposte .. walk this way [get arrested] .. gives up.

never had either. you are suggesting that if I typed what I've typed in your presence you'd become agressive and 'punch me up' or summat ?

:D

prose or pose ? it's all in the interpretation. what you see is what you get and what you've typed leads me to conclude that you don't get it ;-)

Yep they're great!! I have a cheapo one that looks identical except for the colour. Used it with 38mm staples at the weekend for making some fence panels. The nails it uses are only 18 gauge brads, so best to use staples (Type 90 narrow crown) for strength.
