You will find it a distinct help… if you know and look as if you know what you are doing. (IRS training manual)

Darren,

Sign up for their weekly offers email is probably the best way...

I've had some decent gear from Aldi over the last year including a 14 inch Evo Rage chop saw with a carbide blade..

Yes, I bought one of those saws....worth every penny..... :thumbup:

Good tip on the email alert, I seem to miss stuff cos a rarely go shopping these days but Helen is pretty good at alerting me if something is there.

But she still misses stuff....


I just got a wireless camera for my workshop security from Aldi for £30, it's ok ish, but not really good enough at night in the dark.

It's got infra red lights built in, turns from colour to B&W in the dark.

The lights work well, for about four feet...ok maybe five.....
