I was going to wait for Aldi's in March, is Lidl stuff any good?

Posted

Not really sure what their quality is like. I'm going to buy the gloves; I'll update you when I get them!

Posted

the performance base layers and socks are brilliant...had mine 2 years now and theyre superb, washed and worn hundreds of times and still going strong

Posted

If the gloves are like last years the liner will be loose and they'll only feel right when you pull the lining inside out and cut it off at the wrist!! Other than that they're ok!!

Posted

May try out the base layers. Got some Kevlar jeans from aldi last year they seem ok but sizing was wayyyy off

Anyone had any experience with that socket set?


I need a new one :)

Go to Halfords and buy their 150 piece pro set.

You won't regret it. Best socket set I have ever bought.

Obviously it costs more but you get more.

Posted

Yep I have halfords pro set. Regularly do half price offers around bank hols so keep your eyes open. Worth every penny and lifetime guarantee

Posted

Hi all, totally agree I have had a set for over 10 years.Still going strong.

Always handy to have some cheaper tools for when a second socket of the same size is needed, or when some sacrificial hammer abuse is needed.. Or when someone asked to borrow some..

Posted

That's the one now just wait for it to come on a half price offer. Shouldn't be too long before it does :)

Just bought a pair of gloves, socks, top and trousers from lidl! Not tried any of them yet apart from the gloves, which have good knuckle protection and fit well! Will let you know further on the trousers and top (thermal)

i got spare socket set, two thermal tops (went back and got another one) and girlfriend bought some gloves. The only thing I've used personally so faris the two thermal tops and they're excellent.

Posted

I saw something about them also offering touring boots, and am actually popping into the store this weekend to buy a pair if so.


I'll keep you all posted :)

Posted

So I picked up a pair of their boots on the weekend - the last bit of kit I was missing.


Seem pretty good quality all in all - very rigid, toe protectors seem solid, not much flex around the ankle etc.


I haven't used them on the bike as yet as its currently dead ( :( ) but I'll keep you posted as soon as its up and running.

Posted

FYI - Halfords Pro and advanced socket and tool sets are now half price.
