$35 wet-dry grinder at Lidl

[Chris C]

I couldn't resist for $35. Should be ok for roughing in irons and chisels before hitting the stones...

Wow, that's a heck of a deal.

It's a little messy... but I guess to be expected. It made quick work of this skewed rabbet iron that was badly out of shape. So far so good...

I was just looking at the LIDL add. They are building one just a couple of miles from my house. Maybe they will carry the chisel's that Paul Sellers always talks about.

Those are sold at Aldi.... and they are good chisels.

Actually, I think Aldi usually has those chisels for Father’s Day. At least they did over the last few years.

Does anyone know how the Aldi Workzone chisels compare to the Horror freight ones that look similar?

No comparison. I have both and the HF are complete junk in my opinion.

Paul Sellers wrote on his BLOG a couple years ago that they were the same chisels, but had a different name. He even showed pictures side by side: (Workzone vs Powerfix)

The set I bought from Aldi were metric sizes. What are the Lidl chisels?
