Aldi Plumbers tools

I agree with you. For DIY hand tools use them occasionally and they are fine. A pro started this thread.

As I said the difference isn't that great - if any at all. There are too many tool 'experts' that think price and brand always determine the actual longevity of a tool. That might have been the case once but not these days.

Thanks for proving yet again you don't ever use a cordless tool in anger. Short life batteries with a poor charger make life a misery when used heavily.

Just like the one that broke my hand last year!, I have some doubts about the clutch :)

I notice the long drill bits are now a 3 pack instead of a 4, thats inflation for you I guess.

Please eff off you are a total idiot.

Steve coughed up some electrons that declared:

I just emailed walter-service.com about that, PRESUMING that like the wall chaser, the ALDI SDS is really a Walter...

I had back a reply very quickly, and I quote an excerpt:

"The rotary hammer is fitted with a safety clutch and this is tested / calibrated on the production line.

Calculated according to the relevant European standard (EN 60745) the max slip torque for the safety clutch in this machine is 68 Nm."

No pro worthy of the name would use these things anyway - they damage the surface of whatever you're attempting to turn. A true bodger's tool - probably why you know so much about them.

Please eff off as you are a total plantpot.

Is that the best you can manage after all those weeks in treatment?

Please eff off as you are a total plantpot.

Good job I posted to UK DIY and not UK Serious Pipe Fitters then innit?

I've used the pliers almost on a daily basis for 18 months, they show no signs of wear or damage.

He's got you there Dave. You can't argue with an intelligent sophisticated retort like that.

Indeed - as I'd expect. Some time ago I bought the pliers and cutters set from Lidl and the cutters were the equal of very much more expensive ones

- they coped fine with piano wire.

Dribble, of course, is the one who cuts plastic pipe with a hacksaw and floods the street. So has little knowledge about the tools required for plumbing.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Dave Plowman (News)" saying something like:

I'd have thought he'd have learned a new line by now.

I thought that too.

They are far from full pro quality and the price reflects that.

He can't.

Please eff off as you are a total plantpot.

Oh no! He's gat me as well!

I am powerless before such sophisticated wit.
