Lidl tools/compressor

[zimtim]

In Lidl today saw this
https://www.lidl.com/products/285409_A
And some of the associated tools
As some.of my gear is getting old and trying new projects. I wondered if anyone on here has used their compressor and any of the peripheral tools what their thoughts were and how reliable and powerful they were.
I don't want to fork out then find six months down line I should of spent a bit more elsewhere

Thanks

Hi zim

I don't have one, but I know of a Lidl compressor being used almost daily up at Motobreaks. Don't think it's been any problem so far.

I do have a Lidl socket set, which only cost 65 Euros and I've used for all kinds for over 8 years. When I can't find a hammer to hand, I even use the large ratchet to bash things with - and it's stood up well.

I have the compressor from lidl or the other one, been using it lightly the odd tyre, air blast etc done the job for 4 or5 years OK, tried one nut with the associated socket gun failed to undo it, not really fair to blame the tool though. Did change the hose for a better quality one the original was a pain to coil up and the tyre valve adapter also failed thinking back too, changed that for a pro one. Conclusion compressor OK but unsure of the other stuff.

I don't have their compressor, but other bits'n'bobs have been ok. Probably not up to pro use but ok for the DIYer.
Currently have this on offer - good price, I thought!

... and this - maybe handy over winter.

The Parkside stuff varies. The cable ties often strip themselves when the presssure's on.

Lidl's Castelgy gin is perfectly serviceable though....

Do not have any Lidl air tool,s but have a number of Aldi air tools which I guess are probably similar quality.
These are not professonal quality tools, but are fine for low level usage.

Check the prices for similar kit elsewhere first

Ive always fancied one of these Tim, but I know it will only get used to blow the bike over after washing and pumping up the kids bike tyres! so not really worth it for me, but I do love tools and gadgets and have far too many socket and screwdriver sets knocking about in the garage!!!

The Lidl stuff has a three year warranty as well. And they do honour it so long as you keep the receipt.

Did you get one Tim?
