Hi Dan, great to see that not everyone disses ALDI and Lidl products. Their not meant to be used in building the Forth bridge, just use them as intended and they'll be great for a long time. Thanks for your time and easy way of introducing these products to an ancient modeller.
As a mechanical engineer and toolmaker by trade (30 years) I have this to say about ALDI and Lidl tools,For home and hobby work 80% of their tools are absolutely fine and capable for the price.Would I strip a bus engine or use for precise machining with them?NO, because that's not what they are for.They are for the home user and hobbyist and they do a very good job.Thank you for a great video
Whenever you make a new video on affordable tools I pop into these two stores, and Lidl in particular has a great selection on offer. Thanks for sharing👍
Hi good info on tool from both stores. I currently move to Cyprus, and I had a hedge over 3 mtrs high and some of the trees was planted 20 years ago. having left behind in England all my gardening equipment I was at a lost to going out and buying new equipment. But Lidl I found a battery operated chainsaw and loppers. I couldn't fault the tool i used job done Thank you Lidl
My own experience of Aldi and Lidl tools over the last 20 years (alongside my professional tools such as HiKoki) is to steer clear of any Aldi own brand - several times I got caught out with items that failed well short of warranty. The Lidl Parkside Tools, on the other hand, are generally very durabIe. I would rate them as the best budget brand - better than Ryobi or Einhell, and a lot cheaper. I have a Parkside SDS drill with clutch and chisel function for heavy work, that cost £40, which I have used for building work for the last 15 years. Apart from replacing a pair of carbon brushes, it has performed as well as my Hitachi SDS drill, which cost 10 times more.
I’ve had various tools from Aldi and I have never had a problem, I’ve had anything from Lidl so don’t know much about the quality of their products but I would assume they are as good. It’s very helpful to have someone like yourself buy these products and show them on here. I hope you keep up the good work with more of these informative videos.
Both Lidl & Aldi are about a 35 mile round trip away, so it's great to see what's on offer BEFORE trekking all that way. Got a few great items after watching your reviews and hope to get many more. Your videos are very informative and a great source for products that are very useful for us modellers. Keep up the great work. Kind regards, Bob
Good introductory and description of the tools on this video. Both stores offer good value budget tools, of reasonable quality both from both had no problems.
Both Lidl and Aldi are a couple of miles from me, so watching your videos lets me know what they're selling in their middle isles without me having to trog all the way there. Thanks.😎👍
Hi Dan very good video of the tool from Aldi and Lidl and nice see some explaining how too use tools safe manner keep good work up and on the model rail too😊
Hi Dan. I regularly comment on your videos, but this time there's an added incentive! I've been after this precision set for some time, but they're always out of stock. As to those who are not budget tools enthusiasts, I just say, "Look at the results Dan achieves with them", and 3 of the results regularly charge around my layout.
I'm finding these videos very useful. I normally shop at Aldi - but they do not put much emphasis on tools. Lidl is quite a drive for me, but if I see something desirable in their tools range I'll make the effort. I'm a hobbyist woodworker on a budget so it is helpful to find concise reviews from an experienced model maker.
Just read your post. You can easily go onto both Aldi & lidl sites & if you hit the sign up button, you will get notice of up coming offers. Hope this helps.
Just realised I wasn't subscribed, sorted that first! Aldi tools seemed to becoming less available, I'm sure when they originally opened stores you were guaranteed something every week. The laser measuring device from Lidl looks good value, I probably don't need it but you never know, always worth adding to the toolkit, it can sit beside my pristine die cutting set purchased previously :)
Thanks for a great vid again Dan. Same here with L & A tools. Only ever failed when I’ve pushed them too hard. I wish our L & A had the range of tools etc. whenever they’re on offer our stores only have limited range. Was once on holiday near a massive Lidl and couldn’t believe all the tools they had. Wife was furious 😅
Hi Dan thanks for your honest review of Lidl and Aldi products I have watched your videos for a while and have now subscribed and added one more to your total. I hope watching revives my interest in model railways.
I always like to see what Aldi & Lidl have on sale and your channel gives me a good idea, what I like is the fact you take them out of the box and show us what you get. Keep up the good work and thank you.
These tools are great. I like the tool holder in the screwdriver kit. I use all these kind of tools for my hobby. The tool holders look good for holding a broom etc.
Often walk past tools in both stores. I do have a Parkside Angle Grinder. Never has an issue with that. Will be looking a bit harder next time, you have awakened my curiosity.
I like the look of those tool holder grips. I will toddle along to Aldi. I have already got the laser distances measure. Very useful reviewing the tools in Lidl/Aldi.
Always worth looking over the DIY section of these stores. I've found Lidl handy for picking up hand tools and sundry parts (file sets, clamps, squares, sets of washers / o-rings / jubilee clips). Parkside power tools look fine for occasional home users if they only need say a drill and jigsaw. If you're going to use cordless tools regularly it's better to invest in a major brand for quality and range (Makita in my case), horses for courses. Less critical choosing corded gear; I bought a Scheppach drill press when it was on offer, and two Parkside wet n dry vacuum cleaners as shop vacs. Long live budget friendly options.
I have quite a few tools from both and I have been using Lidl works clothing ( toe tected boots and trainers, coats, etc) and think they are all excellent value for money with quality good enough for at leasy hobbyist level. Thanks for the vid.
Hi Dan. Great little bargains there buddy. Love the cutting tool handy bit of kit. Laser light very useful save all the hassle with a tape. Don't know how Parkside can make things so cheap. After watching your vlogs got quite a few bits from Lidl Thanks great information as always. Stay safe. Pete.
4:00 What, no Robertson screw driver tips????? There should be at least a #1 & #2, we colonials in Canada are very disappointed! 😀 Great revue, Cheers, Geoff
Nice stuff - I'm a bit of a hog for Parkside stuff - several drills and other power tools, with several batteries and chargers from the 12V and 20V ranges. I should look at their handtools more - the screwdrivers you show would be very handy!
I've been buying tools from Aldi/Lidl for sometime now and now the wife is building her own small tool kit. The Screwdriver set would be a great addition to her expanding tool box... Thanks for the great video on the tools
With a three year warranty it’s a no brainier love their tools been watching dean Doherty on his channel fixing all diy and professional tools the guy is a wizard he had some parkside tools in they don’t do spares apparently but depending on what’s wrong they can be fixed yea for the price and a damn good warranty cheaper to replace the tool
Hiya Dan hope you’re well - great video, very informative I always enjoy them It would be brilliant to win something, it’s a kind thing you’re doing Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Dan, I bought my rotary tool from Lidl after watching one of your videos. They have a good rotary tool pack with carry case at my local one at the moment. Fun fact - the Parkside brand name comes from the name of Lidl’s first UK HQ building in Wimbledon. David
Cheers for this. I'll have to pop out to see if the one near us has any left. I desperately need some wood bits as you should see me struggling drilling wood using HSS bits 😀
Hi Dan. Fellow modeller here, I've followed you since your first video of these tools, but when ever I go into Aldi or Lidl for middle, everything is gone. I'd love any of these things if poss, brilliant stuff, I'd never really thought of in those tool jaws.
I can't think of anyone to share this with, but I really enjoy the tool reviews. Just a note, please keep the rotary cutter well away from little uns, they are SO sharp 😮
Well done Dan like your videos have bought some of the tools that you show knowing someone has tried them out helps me buy the good tools. And I have just subscribed to your channel.
IMPORTANT. I see someone is ‘replying saying ‘we would like to discuss’ etc. THIS IS NOT ME! I will be doing a live stream to pick the winner i will not be commenting things like that. Thanks .
Thanks, just got one and have reported it
Me too I’m afraid. Thanks for clarifying quickly that it’s not yourself.
Enjoy seeing the tools I normally buy . Also save me going to see what there is.good report
Hi Dan, great to see that not everyone disses ALDI and Lidl products. Their not meant to be used in building the Forth bridge, just use them as intended and they'll be great for a long time. Thanks for your time and easy way of introducing these products to an ancient modeller.
What about building railway tunnels?
The laser measurer looks like a handy piece of kit, I'll look out for that next time I'm in my local Lidl 👍👍.
As a mechanical engineer and toolmaker by trade (30 years) I have this to say about ALDI and Lidl tools,For home and hobby work 80% of their tools are absolutely fine and capable for the price.Would I strip a bus engine or use for precise machining with them?NO, because that's not what they are for.They are for the home user and hobbyist and they do a very good job.Thank you for a great video

Hi I have used both Aldi and Lidl tools for years and have always liked them . Very good value and excellent quality. Keep up with the videos.👍🏻😎👍🏻
Not all good quality. Depends who made the tools for aldi and lidl.

It’s very helpful to have someone like yourself buy these products and show them on here. I hope you keep up the good work with more of these informative videos.
Never ceases to amaze me how Aldi and Lidl keep rotating such a large array of tools etc.
Hi Dan, another nice feature, I don't normally shop in Aldi or Ldil, I will need to pay them a visit.
Hi. I think Parkside tools aee good quality for the price.. Great informative videos .Awesome channel. 👍. Thank you for sharing. Take care. 👌😀

Have quite a few tools from both Aldi and Lidl over the years. Never have they let me down. Here’s hoping I win. Thanks. Gordon Aberdeen
Cracking tool reviews see what good they are before you buy 🎉
I love parkside tools from Lidl ,I have a lot of tools and they are well made and sturdy and strong.
Hi dan another intresting video of parkside tools always a good watch
Great review - no music just informative description. Yes these tools are very handy for light work. Perfect for my planes
Hi Dan very good video of the tool from Aldi and Lidl and nice see some explaining how too use tools safe manner keep good work up and on the model rail too😊
Lidl do some very good items. I bought those magnetic trays for nuts and bolts.
I bought the magnetic trays last week. Perfect for storing tiny screws when working on model railways.
Hi Dan, loving the videos. It looks like another trip to Lidl is on the cards thanks to your channel.👍👍
i allways shop at lidl and aldi its nice to have your reviews thanks
Nice to keep up to date with "what's new" in these stores so always look out for your videos!

@@dansmodelrailways7886 Yeah, I guessed. Not the sort of language you use. The weird side of RUclips...
Really love your video reviews of aldi and lidl tools. Great to see what's available and would be useful for me.
Great video. Have watched lots of your videos on Lidl tools and have always found them to be brilliantly accurate. Thanks very much
Parkside tools are pretty good stuff for home diy use.
Nice review mate, always good to see what bargains are in Lidl and Aldi, cheers

Parkside tools I find are excellent

Great seeing you do review's about the Aldi tools and Lidl supermarket tools.after your options I do get some for home DIY
A man after my own heart, i do love a trip to lidl and aldi

Handy video for anyone buying Aldi and Lidl tools, Well done Dan! 👍
Hi Dan thanks for your honest review of Lidl and Aldi products I have watched your videos for a while and have now subscribed and added one more to your total. I hope watching revives my interest in model railways.
Hi, Dan love Aldi and Lidl centre isle have over the years bought various tools including the drills no problems … great video
I always like to see what Aldi & Lidl have on sale and your channel gives me a good idea, what I like is the fact you take them out of the box and show us what you get. Keep up the good work and thank you.
I like Parkside tools, haven't had many problems but never had a problem with returning an item if faulty. Like your content.
Later level looks good. I've just spent a small fortune on Dewalt drill bit set. Never thought of using Aldi/Lidl bits. Thanks gor the DIY tips
Very fair assessment of Lidl kit. Stuff I haven't seen yet in our local branch! Keep at it; keep them coming, do!
I used that exact same distance measurer when laying laminated flooring at a friend house. Brilliant and accurate bit of kit!
Why did you need it to lay laminated flooring? I can’t see the use!?
Bob
England
Not sure I would put the tool holders outside, the metal looks quite thin, they could rust quite quickly if you’re near the sea.
I was surprised to find the rotary tool bits from Lidl to be really good quality. Good presentation!
These tools are great. I like the tool holder in the screwdriver kit. I use all these kind of tools for my hobby.
The tool holders look good for holding a broom etc.
Brilliant all the tools are good value for money I’ve not bought nothing yet. What has let me down or broken keep up the good work Lidl & Alai
Great videos, nice to see what's new at Aldi and Lidl always had great tools from them
Just checked my receipt and I managed to get the Lidl torx set of screwdrivers for £3.99. They look and feel very good quality for the price.
i allways watch your vids on the tools. great channel.
Always enjoy seeing what is on offer at threes stores I have a lot of my tools from there.
Some great little tools from those places good luck to all 🇬🇧👍
Great video - love the variety of tools that these outlets offer!
Often walk past tools in both stores. I do have a Parkside Angle Grinder. Never has an issue with that. Will be looking a bit harder next time, you have awakened my curiosity.
00.33 been using Parkside bits in my Dremel for a while now, decent quality and much cheaper 👍
Love your review videos. As an avid fan of Aldi and Lidl middle isles im glad im not a he only one. Keep up the good work
Great video, as always. This is how all review videos should be.
I like the look of those tool holder grips. I will toddle along to Aldi. I have already got the laser distances measure. Very useful reviewing the tools in Lidl/Aldi.

Always love the videos to see what’s in store, managed to grab a few things before they ran out because of them. Thank you

Very interesting videos especially if your model making
Well done lidl and aldi
Hi Dan first time seen your video and I’m liking it so far the screw driver set looks really good
Both shops offer really good value for tools. I am still using my Parkside mains Soldering station.
I've bought a few of the tools from lidl & found them to be good quality & reasonably priced
Good clear well explained video, cheers.
Hi Dan.
Great little bargains there buddy.
Love the cutting tool handy bit of kit.
Laser light very useful save all the hassle with a tape.
Don't know how Parkside can make things so cheap.
After watching your vlogs got quite a few bits from Lidl
Thanks great information as always.
Stay safe.
Pete.
Been watching for a few months now. Great videos, only wish that either a Lidl or Aldi was anywhere near me? Keep it up. 😊
another fab tools review Dan, really want on of those Laser Measurement tools now, off to Lidl i go 👍
4:00 What, no Robertson screw driver tips????? There should be at least a #1 & #2, we colonials in Canada are very disappointed! 😀
Great revue, Cheers, Geoff
Thank you i like Parkside tools espeicially the 3 yr guarantee
Nice stuff - I'm a bit of a hog for Parkside stuff - several drills and other power tools, with several batteries and chargers from the 12V and 20V ranges. I should look at their handtools more - the screwdrivers you show would be very handy!
I've been buying tools from Aldi/Lidl for sometime now and now the wife is building her own small tool kit.
The Screwdriver set would be a great addition to her expanding tool box...
Thanks for the great video on the tools
I use their screwdrivers professionally and they are great 👍 outperformed my facom ones for comfort and size variety at a fraction of the price 😁
With a three year warranty it’s a no brainier love their tools been watching dean Doherty on his channel fixing all diy and professional tools the guy is a wizard he had some parkside tools in they don’t do spares apparently but depending on what’s wrong they can be fixed yea for the price and a damn good warranty cheaper to replace the tool
Hi Dan, very informative videos on tools & gives you some idea of the quality of tools aswell
Excellent review Dan, I just need to work out how to smuggle more tools past the wife! I particularly like the look of the distance measurer.
Hiya Dan hope you’re well - great video, very informative I always enjoy them
It would be brilliant to win something, it’s a kind thing you’re doing
Keep up the good work 👍
Great info ! Seem pretty decent for the little things
Thanks Dan, I bought my rotary tool from Lidl after watching one of your videos. They have a good rotary tool pack with carry case at my local one at the moment.
Fun fact - the Parkside brand name comes from the name of Lidl’s first UK HQ building in Wimbledon.

Love Parkside tools. Great value.
great stuff Dan their tools are great for what we use them for. very handy to have m8 and you always keep us on the wright track🚂
Always great to see your clips on these tools
Awesome tools,, always forget to look there.
Cheers for this. I'll have to pop out to see if the one near us has any left. I desperately need some wood bits as you should see me struggling drilling wood using HSS bits 😀
Another great and usefull video Dan!!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers Onno.
Hi Dan. Fellow modeller here, I've followed you since your first video of these tools, but when ever I go into Aldi or Lidl for middle, everything is gone. I'd love any of these things if poss, brilliant stuff, I'd never really thought of in those tool jaws.
Nice mix of tools thanks for the suggestion.
I can't think of anyone to share this with, but I really enjoy the tool reviews. Just a note, please keep the rotary cutter well away from little uns, they are SO sharp 😮
Well done Dan like your videos have bought some of the tools that you show knowing someone has tried them out helps me buy the good tools. And I have just subscribed to your channel.
Love your videos, i find them helpful and informative, especially for me on a limited budget
The Rotary Cutter looks good for trimming Wallpaper along ceiling edge & skirting board.
Another great video Dan. Would love the screwdriver set.
really enjoyed watching all your repair videos
Great selection of DIY tools keep up your great videos will be in touch again soon regarding some locomotives for you to service etc
Ok mate, just drop me an email when you are ready.
