Aldi 1/4" socket sets

[Station]

They have these in currently, £14.99 have had two before, but were stolen. They're really good, ideal for keeping in the car.

[Kiltox]

These are ace - hold up well to abuse too!

I think a lot of this Aldi/Lidl stuff is amongst the best of the budget tools really.

Have to agree with that, most of their stuff is excellent for the price.

[Supernaut]

Oof! That looks good. Might pop to Aldi at the weekend if I remember to.

I've got a previous version of this kit and abused fuck out of it for the last few years. One of the flat headed screwdriver bits has broken due to metal fatigue but that's it.

112%/10 for quality. Might buy a new one!

[Noel Tidybeard]

i like the 46 pc kit where all the bits are in their own 1/4 sq holder

Buy a Mercedes, no need for shiny sockets sets !

is that because they won't stay shiny long due to the amount of use they will get?

That's the one I have - didn't notice the difference at first

The ratchet looks like it comes pre-bent. Useful feature.

hah!..........I went food shopping with Mrs Alf yesterday (I never go usually but birthday treat for her).......saw these and they had 52 and 46 piece sets in same bin at same price. Looked identical

Nope, it's because they'll rust before your eyes!

Boughted. Cheers for the heads up. FREE YIR GAURANTEA as well, although Aldi know full well that all customers lob their receipts straight in the bin as soon as the groceries are in the cupboards.

I tape all receipts to the inside of my cupboard door, has saved me a fortune in broken 6 month old irons and microwaves

You're right! I've only had mine five years and look at it now!

 

 

WURST SOKIT SIT EVAR

I lost the allen keys though.

Seriously, I really rate these sets and they stand up well to all sorts of abuse as m'fellow SVM colleagues can attest. Just bought another two and that one is going into reserve as it's still perfectly functional.

Their spanners are good too.

[sierraman]

I suppose it all depends what you use them for, they'd be no good used professionally but used for DIY with care and used appropriately they might last years.

[Richard]

Lidl and Aldi tools aren't the best of gear by any means, but they are miles better than Rolson/Blackspur/Silverline and most other budget tools.

[fordperv]

Incase shiters arent aware these and the ratchet spanners are available on the website with free delivery at the moment click on diy special buys, i ordered some ratchet spanners earlier for mrs fp's dad for fathers day as mrs fp didn't know what to get him

I give two sets of those Aldi ratchet spanners (normal and flex head) a hell of a beating and they are ace

[CortinaDave]

I had one of their trolley jacks that turned to soup very quickly, that put me off buying any more of their tools.

 

I do rate their food though.

[myglaren]

Went to Aldi and completely forgot to buy a set.

My shopping is very random at the best of times, go without checking what's needed and then just chuck random shite in the trolley and come home with duplicates of what we already had and huge spaces where I should have bought stuff to fill.

[320touring]

bought 2 sets, one for vectra and one for 316.

 

just as well as I needed one to bust the rear exhaust mounting bolt on the 316 when it fell off
