Affordable tool finds from Aldi & Lidl 

All tap drill bits are an odd size, this is to accommodate a slighter larger tap bit. Great video. My desk vice is blue! Lidl have changed the colour.

Cheap and very cheerful joe

I like the idea of Left handed secateurs, I am going to get on my LHD motorbike and go to Lidl.

I've just come across this site. I'll definitely be watching from now on. Great review. I'm a fan of Lidl and Aldi tools. Great for the hobbyist and DIYers. 👍

More useful tools and at reasonable prices. Thanks for displaying these, and I must check them out myself. Dan, you need to go back to an electrical class, Crocs being Red for Negative and Black for Positive. These just might leave you having a shocking experience, lol.

The clamp with the vice is to secure the collar of a power drill.

Do people get rid of older tools? Surely they just end up with more tools. Maybe it’s just me 😂

That is exactly right those drills are the appropriate size for each tap

Entertaining and informative video, I bought 2 locking storage organisers for about £17 on a special offer which was a saving on buying 2 separately, still a good deal.

I always enjoy your videos, Dan! However, the Amazon link for the craft set points to an article, which is not available: “Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.” Hope it will be available again, since it is such a bargain 😊

Great informative video Dan, keep up the good work. Love the left handed secateurs, can you find a chocolate fire guard for the next one

I think you mixed up the color code for the crocodile clip set, it shall be red for positive and black for negative and not the opposite that you said.

I buy lots of tools from Lidl. Mostly battery-powered hand tools and can't complain about the quality.

Hint for easier cleaning of files. Rub chalk into face of file. Dirt, shavings will not attach & stick to the file body, easier to clean out

take the pitch of the thread off the diameter equals tapping drill size

Great video Dan how's the hattons Andrew Barclay getting on?

LET ME HUMBLY OFFER MY SINCERE APPOLOGIES FOR THAT SHOUTY COMMENT I MADE BELOW TO " Dan's model railways " FIRSTLY ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE THAT I SUFFER FROM DISLEXIA AND i FREQUENTLY GET THINGS WRONG....... But Dan was kind enough to calmly reply to my massive mistake by pointing out that i missed the link in the in his video description , So once again let me say i am so sorry Dan for getting it so wrong, and for your kind positive reply in reacting in a very calm manner. As you had every right to be angry with my rude inaccurate comment and so sorry for my glaring mistake...........Take care Dan and best wishes for an excellent and very helpful video on modelling tools and advice of what and where to buy for these useful bits and pieces.

Your teacher gave you bad information. You can absolutely use files on wood, and they will often give a much better finish than a rasp (although rasps are generally better for fast removal of material - especially the Shinto saw-file rasp!)

The taps work OK for their price but I couldn't see them lasting terribly long. The tap holder is a bit nasty and requires constant retightening. The drill bits are appropriately sized to match each individual tap.

I bought the Parkside file set. Not hugely impressed with the small ones, but the four large ones are very nice. BTW: The file cleaner is called a File Card.

I've got the Workzone Screwdriver Set. They're well made, with no misaligned/loose handles, and no badly ground tips. Also, they're £5-99, not £6-99.

Never file wood? What muppet told you that? Also, red - / black +, oooooops

10:50 Red = positive Black = negative 😆

Just checked Amazon it is £16.99.

try editing - most of the bit about the storage boxes was just your mat.

As you say, for a beginner its an ideal purchase. Now, that's a pin vice not an archimedes drill and as for tapping drills you should be using a 1.6mm to cut a M2 thread. I wish you reviewers would do your homework before doing your reviews, passing on false information to the uninitiated is rather pointless.

Before you buy any files, learn how to clean them with a file card. That's what the blue thing is called.

Think you have prices all wrong ,6.99 don’t think so.

The drills are the core sizes for the taps. As a general rule of thumb the core drill dia is smaller than the tap by the thread pitch, ie M5x.8 whereby M5 is the thread dia and .8 is the pitch (distance between the crests of the threads) so the core drill is 4.2, M3x.7 =2.3 core drill

Archimedes drill????

The "Carving/engraving Set" is actually a pyrography set for burning markings on wood and leather.

Ooppps a couple of others spotted the Red Black croc clips. The vice pipe grip looks more likely to be used to hold a drill or rotary tool? Depends what the instruction says

Red minus Black positive on the crocodile clips… surely the convention is red positive and black negative? Great video content.

If you deduct the pitch size from the thread size you will end up with the drill size hence why the drills are odd sizes, hope this helps. Thanks for sharing this update regards Barry..

The correct term for the 'brush' is a 'file card'. New subscriber here BTW.

good think four you tool box thanks lee

The wire brush in the file set is called a file card

Red +ve & Black -ve not the other way round 10:57

👍

Great review of tools. Always enjoy your videos. Aldi and Lidel tools are easy to find, check down the aisles. Do you have a link for the Amazon Craft set, can’t find it. x The Bigfella x

Maybe that's something you can fix yourself in the future who knows.

I didn’t find Aldi’s wood drill bits or Hss bits or masonry bits. A lot of good.

Good video again my husband got loads of parkside tools

Great video Dan

Lidl dose Not have an S on it .

YOU GAVE NO LINK FOR THE AMAZON TOOL BOX , SO IF I WANTED TO TRY IT I COULD NOT FIND IT ON AMAZON .SO YOUR VIDEO WAS A WASTE OF TIME ...............MANY THANKS

crocodile clips--red is always positive not negative. all wiring red positive. I got the engraving kit last time they were in and lasted about 15 mins, sent back for a refund.
