Bought a few and the only real problem so far was the knobs on the pillar drill bit height control which broke straightaway and I replaced them for £5, and then was reimbursed by Lidl - although I tend to agree about the aftersales service, and the generally "rubbish" electronics stuff!
Excellent plastic recycling Rima. Better than ending up polluting the sea and bothering marine life, like so much plastic waste does these days
Collected some cans from coffee and fixed them under the shelve. The hardest part of it was how to convince wife that we need certain type of coffee and that it is the best one.
But when cans are installed this way they help to organize stuff a lot.
Lidl UK are "active" again with some useful stuff this week.
Bought this "Powerfix Profi Digital Calliper or Digital Angle Finder" for £7.99 - a little "basic" in construction, but easier to use than a big manual one to measure angles, such as dish elevation in conjunction with a spirit level. However, it takes batteries but they didn't supply any and the instructions don't tell which sort it needs! Luckily had the right CR2025 in the cupboard and now it works.
Lot of other small boxes of stuff like "jubillee clips", "O" rings and so - could be worth a look if you need something like that.
They also have some "Work Shorts" for the same price - you wouldn't think they were actually much good, but I bought a pair earlier this year and they actually are pretty well-made, comfortable and quite "presentable" for days out and the like - would actually be rather wasted as "workwear"! So much so that SWMBO had said I should get some more if the opportunity came up - and when I said I was going to try to get a pair today, she said "you should get a couple of pairs", and so I did!
PS: I like a decent "craft beer" when I can get it, which is usually from TESCO as they are cheaper than Sainsburys - but Lidl have a few, and particularly St Austell Brewery "Tribute", and that's £1.25 a bottle as compared with £1.70/1.80 elsewhere - not that I think you should be drinking it "in the garage/workshop" (unlike, it seems, RimaNTSS!)
PS: you going to "have a punt" with the Tribute?
I do like Tribute! might have to pick some up and see what other Ale's they have

No replies so far, but I was hoping that someone (@RimaNTSS??) would have used something like this and can provide some "info" - so, "anyone"?
My "intended use" for something like a plasma cutter would (hopefully!) be to cut bar/sheet/angle-form steel, and possibly even rotten car bodywork panels - prior to, maybe, doing a bit of welding (with a MIG/TIG m/c which I have yet to acquire!) and then, maybe, a "resto" project! I kinda always wanted to be able to "weld", but, to do that, you need the "right" sizes and shapes of steel to weld - and the skills to do that and that will take time, the right "kit", and a lot of practice!
