Lidl drill

[Rhossydd]

How many of us keep the receipts for small amounts of money, though?

If you run your own business you will have to.
Things like a pillar drill are easy enough, just tape the receipt inside the belt cover. Rechargeable drill ? tape it under the charger.
It's easy enough to just keep a folder in the workshop to hold old receipts, manuals etc. Daft not to really.

I bought myself the £50 Bench Drill from the High Wycombe Lidl yesterday. They had around 10 of them. It will only get occasional use so hopefully will be OK.

A while back they were selling 'industrial' vacuums for around 60 quid. As we were just starting major renovations at home I took a punt on it. Needless to say it took a major beasting over about six months and is still going strong.

With power take of it's really useful and I have to say of equal quality to the nearly £300 'dust extraction' Alto special I bought from Axminster.

I'd certainly take more of a punt on Lidl stuff now than I used to.

That one's next on my list.

has anyone ever used the 3 year guarantee? How do Lidl and aldi deal with these returns when they only really have these items on limited sale?

I had to return a failed Parkside item last year (Dremel copy) and they simply paid a full refund against the original receipt. It seems the only practical way it can operate and quite fair to me.

I have heard elsewhere that the guarantee is very good, and not questioned as long as you have the receipt. Like you say though, you wont get a replacement, but will get a full refund.

You do get a replacement if there is one available, it's just that the nature of the things is that they go pretty quickly and The stock is not replenished like most stores.

I just got one hard to pass up with the 500w and 16mm chuck at that price

The one from the other week was 18v this one is 14.4v.
I bought both the drill and circular saw the other week and so far have been well pleased with both.
