In need of a new mixer...cheap ?

[Gazzer]

ALDI - Thursday Special Buys 7th July 2011

 

[northstar]

are the 700 rpm high speed ok, or a bit low ?

 

[Gazzer]

The speed is fine.

 

[White Room]

Normally don't go for cheaper tools but for £40 worth a punt..

 

[northstar]

cant go wrong for £40 then.

 

[Dan]

What's the recommended low speed for mixing epoxy?

 

[Gazzer]

I would say its worth a go too. Not for me but if you need a starter then go for it.

£40 / 3 year warranty, got to be worth a punt if you're in the market for a mixer. In fact, I might get one and bung it in the lock up until my current mixer lets me down.

looks goodfor the money is there stuff any good? the 17 piece drill bit and chisel set looks ok for 9.99 too

 

[Gazzer]

I have had some stuff from the likes of Aldi and Lidl , it can be hit and miss but with a simpler item such as this and a 3 year warranty I would say its ok. I would assume though that the warranty will not include trade use !!

Ive been tempted to have a go at some of their stuff especially the silicon profiling tool but never seem to find their offers instore when i look

 

[Gazzer]

Those silicone profile tools are as good if not better than more expensive items....I just cant get out the habit of using my finger !!

 

[b30 villain]

Id love to try one but cant bleedin find one:mad2::lol:

I bought one from Aldis as a spare, seems ok but they only had 2 in my store so you have to be quick

Re: In need of a new mixer...cheap ? (silicone profiling tool)

Looks like Lidl are having the silicone profiling tool sets back in next week: set of four for £2.99. Go on Neale, save your finger!

Oh in case you can't find them, they call them a "grouting set" .

They also got some [tile] trim shears for £6.99, but I think most people are happy to use a mitre block and fine saw tbh.

just bought them chisel and drill bits i was on about and they are looking pretty good to be fair
