The Middle Aisle - Aldi / Lidl ..... Bargains

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by oldtech, Nov 27, 2019.

  1. Yeah ... they all do that mate ..... :)

    The Dremel copies I've come across over the years all seem to do it , and I agree it must surely be
    from the poor quality bearings , or poor case alignment , or probably both .
    I don't know what's more irritating , the noise or the vibrations .....

    My cheapo knock-off copy did come in a natty metal carrying case , with rubbery spaces inside ,
    to fit the drill and all the usual gubbins ..... and it's been kicking around here for years doing good work
    .... but that noise and buzzing !!

    So I'm going to have a go with a cable tie ..... where did you fit it ? ..... in the middle or at one end ?

    BTW - if anyone comes across one of those Doocarti bike thingies , don't be alarmed by the clutch noise
    ..... they all do that sir .

    :astonished:

  2. I’m not sure all do it, only the mis assembled clutches. ;)
     
  3. I was after an impact driver but despite trying numerous stores in Herts, Essex and N London, I couldn’t find any in stock and any saving I might have made was obliterated anyway by all the petrol I wasted on my wild goose chase :(
     
  4. Hmmm C&S set or a Karcher.....;)

  5. I reckon the casings are the issue. Found squeezing the casing in a certain position stopped the noise, so wrapped the cable tie around it there. Bought the mains impact driver too, but I've never used it.
     
  6. Try Machine Mart, get the Clarke version instead then. Corded one is cheap, cordless isn’t. Cordless is the way to go though. Lots of options on eBay.

  8. That gas soldering iron would have been handy last week. But at 20euros it can go on the tool shelf until required.:upyeah:
    Big box of washers. Always handy.
     
  9. Yes!

  10. Trouble is the travel ban. You'd need a fur coat to use one in the UK sea and they are all banned by PETA...
     
  11. Fantastic. Makes me think of Stingray, more specifically Marina(for those of a certain age).
