Active Deal Lidl DIY /Tool Deals

They had great laser measure/ stud/ wire finder couple of weeks ago. Works really well.
I'm a sucker for their tools.

Looked for that in all my local stores and none had it!?

 

[Simon998]

Those needle scalers are the job for removing rust.

 

[AC]

Are they still doing the air tools??

 

[Boksic]

Was in ballymena branch earlier and they seemed to have everything still.
Picked up one of the spray guns. At the price it'll do for a wee bit of arsing about and can spray (badly) the occasional set of wheels for a quick tidy up

 

[gizmo98]

Got one of the digital tyre inflators today
At £10 it'll do as a spare

 

[AC]

Got the scaler, good job!

Also bought the grinder and used it today but the wee compressor can't cope.

 

[Apis]

Bought the tyre inflator, air blower, adaptor kit today.
What are you guys doing for connectors? All my existing stuff has the longer type connectors. Seems all this Lidl stuff has shorter, fatter ones.
Am I better swapping them out for the longer ones I've always used, or making the change to these shorter ones? Think it's maybe a Euro standard or something? Or is there an adaptor you can get?

 

[gizmo98]

Just swap the connectors

 

[gizmo98]

Went in again today and bought the air ratchet
Come in handy sometime maybe

 

[barachello]

I really wanted the gun air ratchet, but the Bangor store had none left

Do they have conditioner setting?

This thread is for LIDL tools

[rupertfinch]

Do they have conditioner setting?

I.e. Plug it in and leave it to keep battery tip top? Yup, think so.

Flip - pound vs euro has raised its head £14 battery charger in September now £18 in January!

 

[azzamut]

is that 18 for one of those trickle charger types?

can you leave it plugged in for months without looking at it?

My cars tucked away 70 odd miles away from me.

Yes plug in and forget about it, i have one and i leave it connected to the motorbike all winter. There is a charger called optimate which i would say is a much better option but they are about £50, it just provides a bit more peace of mind with the connection and has smarter charging cycles.

 

[Apis]

I've a Lidl charger for couple of months and it's seems grand on both bike and car batteries. So far so good.

Yes, and they do a good job of keeping the garage warm and dry too, just like the aul lad's charger did in October
