I would be very interested to hear what other's have experienced in purchasing hardware items and power tools from ALDI.

Digger's never had a dud from them.

Haven't got a lot from them but what I have got (die grinder, air hose, torque wrench, ratchet ring spanners, that I can think off off the top of my head) no complaints. They are not top quality, but quite satisfactory, and I have had no failures. And they have a money back, no questions, 60day (I think) guarantee.

Happy with what I have purchased from them!!!

Had a number of items, and had only a single failure, which was a pair of air metal shears.
Was taken back and refunded no question asked.

The 2 tonne 4wd electric scissor jack was a load of rubbish AND dangerous - it bent out of shape DO NOT BUY one for a 4wd (ok on a Barina) - wouldn't lift a corner of the car so not even 500kg - unfortunately I lost the receipt and first time I used it was about 9 months after I bought it. I also had the same problem with the metal shears.
Tis why I'm steering clear of their spotlights which by the way aren't really that cheap.

We have bought a bit, the 2 failures we have had were repaired with no questions asked, though we did have a receipt for both.

Steer clear of their small consumables, zip ties, hose clamps etc.

Most of what I have bought seems to be OK. I have a couple of sets of spanners that ride around in the vehicles that seem to be OK and most of the other bits and pieces seem to work as expected. Most of their stuff isn't top of the line but it is adequate and reasonably priced.

Yeah, I think that goes without saying. For typical home use the Aldi stuff is fine. Industrial use is a different ballgame, however.

My wife bought me a torque wrench and first time i went to use it when i replaced my tdi head, i tested it out on some other bolts and i couldnt hear it click so didnt risk using it- still to return it yet which i better do soon.
