Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Does that mean you can only buy them on the 28th, or are they available from the 28th?

What was you doing with it? It shouldnt stop dead, and you need to bear in mind that these are DIY / Hobby grinders, not pedestal mounted industrial
ones.

I bought one of these the last time Aldi had them; it works a treat, no problems - doesn't stop as long as you use it properly (don't try
to take too much off too quickly). 
I bought a load of spare belts for it as I didn't know if I would be able to get them anywhere else.
This grinder also has a three year warranty on it whereas the B&Q unit has only a one year warranty.

Don't forget the electric hoist too.
The 250kg lift will be on double pull.
Mine is just like that one and has been pretty much invaluable.
I can lift the front end of my car with mine with ease.

Was thinking about picking one of these up as I've only just noticed that there is a RSJ in place on the outter roof above the 3ft'ish of
loft space in the workshop. What length of cable does the remote have zil? (as a rough idea)
Cheers

I'll go and check.......
Right, the dead size of the cable is 1500mm.
By the time you add on the hand control, the effective length is around 1600mm.
With the hoist at 2.4m as in my case, the lead has plenty of length to be able to push the hoist across with one hand and control the hoist with the
other hand.
