Aldi Sucks!!

[DeanMember]

I went to by some yummy Chicken Kebabs from Aldi this afternoon and walked out $500 poorer :ohmy:

Started with : the food aisle $100 ish dollars

Then came across the weekly special deals that normally come out on a thursday Morning 6.5HP/2200Watt generator $300, 100 amp stick welder $100, ratchet tool set $20,digital vernier $20, Tape measure $4, and a couple of other things.

and I forgot the Kebabs :laugh:

Hope it all works out Ollie you are gamer then me, I have been caught to many times before and find it costs more in the long run I buy quality once now. I have had those cheaper generators let me down when they have been needed so I have now spent the extra and got a Honda powered one with two year warranty

Keep us in the loop

No Probs mate, comes with 1 year warranty I can honestly say I have never had a problem with the ALDI stuff,even to say that a lot of it is better than name brand stuff.

Sounds good like I said hope it works out and goes forever

I have some stuff from there as well, some of it is great but tooling and stuff I make my living from i am very careful

just be careful with the welder, we bought one almost 12 months ago, my uncle said the cheaper welders are a printed circuit board.

if the rod sticks it can burn the PCB track.

not had any issues with ours yet. but it dose take some skill and practice to get the rod to strike a good stable arc.

it dose not like cheap rods either.

where as the BOC inverter is a breeze to use cheap rods well.

I agree Aldi sucks

[BradMember]

The chinese are great at copying things, we used to sell intake manifolds for small block chev’s that sold for around $250, they where are copy of the edelbrock ones. The only difference you could tell by looking was that the runners were’nt de-dagged as well as the original. Nothing a die grinder could’nt fix. But the as the old saying goes “buyer beware”

I can honestly say that I have NEVER had any problem with stuff from aldi.

I can honestly say that I have NEVER swallowed my pride and walked into an Aldi :laugh:

Just joking, I think I did go into one somewhere around 2002, it’s hard to remember really

Are they still on, had a look at the Aldi website but can’t see them I’d like some digital verniers!! $20.00 probably only use them once or twice a year.

Cheers
