Several quite nice things in my local branch today. A pasting table, old fashioned steel cantilever toolbox, 20V cordless drill.

They have the Parkside cordless Dremels again. I've been very impressed with mine, that I bought several months ago. But to go with it today, several ad-ons: a handle, depth stop, grinding guide, and a knife/chisel sharpener. Also a good selection of useful flapwheels, brushes, etc.

The only thing I didn't like about it was its fiddly and not very convenient box. Now I can throw that away and get a proper toolbox for the drill with all the accessories.

Also basic but neat little alloy vice about the size of a packet of fags, including plastic jaws and what they call a hand drill set with quite a good selection of small drill bits. The "drill" thing is what I would call a pin vice. Not so well made but TBH I'd probably use the drills with my "micro-dremel" (which is ~140mm long, 28mm diameter).

The vice complements nicely the selection of small tools that I keep in my office desk for doing small repair jobs.

20v is a range, I bought the drill and an SDS a couple of years ago, they work well.

We bought the hand blender kit in October, only used it for eggs beating for ommelettes maybe every 10 days since, yet it blew up Christmas eve. We will be taking it back for a refund unless they have a replacement.

The Warranty service is good.

I have a weather station / clock gizmo. I phoned the Lidl warranty line, they referred me to the appropriate support line and they sent out a new one. Zero fuss. No need to return the defective one.
