aldi cheap tools
been in aldi today and they have some cheap air tools.for instance there was a air impact gun with impact sockets for about 12 pounds,a air rachet for about the same money as well.the sockets alone must be worth about the asking price think they had a compressor as well for about 75 pounds.

The air tools are alright for light use but the compressor is not man enough, i used to have a 14cfm with 6HP and 200litre tank and that struggled to keep up sometimes

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

The compressors are ok ish from Aldis,
ibought one a while back and they dont quite cut the mustard,
there ok for nail guns or sanders,
but anything else there no good,
itried spraying a car with one and its too much of a waiting game with them, waiting for them to build up they carnt keep the pace,

Re: aldi cheap tools
Aldi tools i assume are like lidl and argos tools.
Power drills with odd names are rubbish, challenge for example dont work.
Any socket set that isnt tengtools or draper will break.
The plier sets in lidl go blunt quickly.
Their suction mounted vice grips dont stay on the table they are supposed to.
Sometimes there can be good tools.
