UdderlyOffroad Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Evening Ladels and Gentlespoons, Whilst picking up some milk at my local Lidl I saw these two tools, an air-powered oscillating tool and a DA sander. I will need both of these tools in the future for upcoming jobs, but did anyone take a punt? I appreciate these will need a fairly meaty compressor, but at £30 each you'd be lucky to pick up a decent electrically powered one? Oscillating tool DA Sander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW8IZR Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 no but I took one of the grit guns - mainly to spray the creosote / oil mix on a shed and its a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyw Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Link works fine for me. Yes it is Parkside gear. The compressor looks like a good deal for a 3HP unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sorry I did test the link so don’t know what happened there –sometimes it asks you to put your postcode in, I guess to confirm the stores in your area will have the kit? Decided to leave the DA Sander as similar is available on the Bay of E for <£40 delivered, so will purchase when I do a job that actually requires one.

reb78 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Machine Mart have a lot of the stuff int he link for similar (occasionally lower) prices, so they are worth a look. I reckon MM will be better about replacements and spares too. That said, i have a few Lidl angle grinders and other bits and bobs and they havent performed badly.

Scooby Jim Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Went and got a rotary sander today, should do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I do like the relative convenience of Machine Mart, but I've found that you can nearly always get better quality for less delivered via the Bay of E. Plus it saves me a trip to the, how can I put this, dodgier end of Bristol! Have decided not to bother with the oscillating tool due to my poor old air compressor probably not being man enough for the task. Fortunately ALDI will shortly be doing a 'leccy version: http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_27081.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
