SDS+ drill at Lidl for £35

[sparkdog]

Looks good for 35.00 I will try and get one.I always feel a bit dismayed seeing nice new expensive drills being used for electrical work and getting all covered in plaster dust and grot.

Always thought thats what they were made for, not sitting in the van in a nice clean shiney case lol!

I bought a similar one a few years ago and abused it daily for drilling and chasing. The connection on the trigger and one of the brushes failed an it gets really hot when core drilling for more than 2 hours at a time (3 fans in 600mm granite stone walls). It's still working, I had to repair the connections and add grease to the gearbox on more than one occasion but I failed in destroying it. I suppose I could have tried harder...

Yup - got two for myself. One to use, the other can sit in the loft while I see how long the first one lasts. Not had a chance to use it yet though.

Im sure B&Q do a similar deal there range, Power or maybe LIDL should become one our forum sponsors

Bought one today, checked the contents and did a dry run. Looks OK but when I used smaller bits with the chuck, the bits seemed to wobble. Hey... hey, I wanted an electric chisel and I have got it for just £34.99... and guess what, it’s German made. I don’t complain.

lidl are pretty good if you don't like the product too. I bought some motorbike comms kit last year and it wasn't very good when I tried it out. I took it back and got a full cash refund with no argument

It's 35 quid!! It has a 3 year guarantee!!! How can you go wrong?? Even if you keep it as a reserve SDS it has to be worth it all day long...

Unlike other budget tool outlets, Lidl tools tend to be a lot better than most, I and a friend here have been purchasing quite a few of Lidl tools since they opened up branches over here. To be honest we haven't had a bad one yet, they do what they say on the box!! lol!!!
