Yeah - I paid =A35 at Netto, then saw the exact same model in screwfix for =A320.
It's a nicely machined bit of stainless steel, and checked against my micrometer the accuracy is sterling.
So don't be sore, even at =A330 it's a nicely made/working tool.
I suspect they may be product dumping because the battery hatch has a habit of falling off (gaffa tape around mine) - and it will chew through batteries if you forget to turn it off every time you put it down.
I used one to make a watertight bag for my mobile phone whilst working outside in the rain.

I suppose the little teat on the end fits the stub antenna perfectly. The difficulty I see is putting it your ear and being called a d*ckhead. Perhaps not though...
Machine screw selection at 3.99 seemed well worth it, as was the 19 piece drill set in a decent steel box at the same. Aluminium case was cheap too.
But I thought the bit and ratchet set (mainly Torx and allen) good value and seems very well made.
I bought a second digital vernier as I'm always mislaying the first
-impressions so far - very good, well worth a tenner
Also bought the taps & dies - they're crap, even for a fiver - but useful for cleaning up the odd thread. BTW does anyone know what the odd imperial tap & die included in the box is?

Bought mine and it looks fine. The taps are "second" taps one of each size. If you only have one tap of each size this is IMO a good idea to miss "taper" and "plug"
Something to do with German plumbing?
I thought the drill bits where a nasty looking steel,similair the wood screws they where selling. On the web site they look the same type I bought out of a shed(brass in appearence but was dissapointed when I got there today and only ended up buy a tub of screws and two battery chargers.
Err - 'titanium coated'. Meant to make them stay sharper longer. I drilled some mild steel with them today and they're at least as good as a B&D etc shed offering, so decent value.

It is only a quick, thin, cheap flash of colour over ordinary HSS. I think the colour is a cultural thing. I saw a *high* value, *high* prestige item in just that colour, it was from France.
I expect Andy will be off to Lidl's then
Sir Ben, your lordship etc if I may make so bold : it's "were", not "where".
Yeah. Right.
The only advantage that this place has is that at least it doesn't smell of rotten goodness knows what like Makro. That's about it, though.
Don't like Makro, prices are not as good as CostCo by 10% or more. The only reason I go to Makro is to get a few things that CostCo don't stock. I combine a monthly trip to both.
Lidl would require a trip into the center of Carlisle. Aldi (Penrith or Carlisle) are not near anywhere we go regulary. 50 mile round trip for a pack of cheap drills doesn't make sense... B-)
The trip's nice though.
Having said that, if I were doing that one from where you are, it wouldn't be because of attraction to those places.
There has to be better
Makro (Leeds) makes a very poor attempt at fresh food. Lidl (Hunslet) OTOH had very good quality cheap fresh veg but a very limited selection which varies visit by visit.

Theyre illitrit thats what they is.
I actually rather like like Lidl's and their system is an interesting case study of how you can run a supermarket with virtually no staff. Stack everything but don't bother displaying it. Make the checkout so fast and the surface area so small that the customer soon learns to put his purchases back in the trolley and do his packing in the car park.
