I have a few of those, they're pretty good. Problem is they're paired with a woefully inadequate compressor, so for example the impact
wrench gives maybe half a dozen thumps before the compressor has to recharge.

The compressors are okay if you are using them correctly. Tools that use a lot of air such as sanders, blowers, sprayers, drills, saws etc will be
rubbish!!! If you use tools that require a burst of high pressure air such as air pop riveters, nailers, or possibly low volume sprayers such as
powder coating guns they will be great.

The compressors are fine for the power output. I've had one for 4 years and sprayed a number of cars. They do run power tools but 25litres of
air runs out quickly. At some stage i'll be going for a 5hp 100 ltr compressor but in the meantime great value for money.

or do what others have done and link it up to a big old propane bottle as an extra air reservoir. For my underseal sprayer I used a 19kg bottle and
that takes a long time for the air pressure to run down, I think the largest normal size is 47kg or apparently 108 litres volume. The cylinders are
virtually given away, I have several in the garage nobody wanted or just have a look where travellers have been for free cylinders! Very simple to
hook up to a compressor.

Remember to keep the receipts for the warrantied items from Lidl, they do actually honour these warranties.
Just recently had the charger go iffy on a two year old Lidl cordless drill, they replaced it without question, also a couple of other items in the
past too.

the spare batteries at the same time.

Oddly enough, aldi are doing the same.

Just noticed they have the work trousers on again, bloody brilliant for the money, and pleasantly sized for fatties.
