  I bought the bandsaw and the belt/disc sander last year. Wouldn't recommend the bandsaw, it vibrates and bounces all over the place. I upgraded to a small Carbatec recently, much nicer although admittedly three times the price. But I don't regret buying the Aldi one, it was enough to prove that I'd get the use out of a bandsaw and the upgrade was justified.

  The sander is OK, I use it fairly regularly. The dust extraction port on the belt side is in a pretty crap position, that's my major gripe with it.

    Yes I second that, the bandsaw is rubbish.

    What bandsaw did you go for guyvb? Was it the 8 inch or the 10inch FERREX?

    Also which size Carbatec did you go for?

    In the market for a bandsaw but looks like need to spend at least 1000-1500 for half-decent 12 incher

      8 inch in both cases for me.
      Based on the quality of the 8" Carbatec, I'd imagine you couldn't go wrong with their larger units.

        Thanks 👍

        Did you try changing the blade on Aldi or was it stock standard

  I wonder what Bunnos will offer up against this set - seems like a crack at their core business

    Not sure about Bunnings but I seem to recall that Supercheap Auto dropped the price on their TooPRO screwdriver set when Aldi had a similar promotion a year or two ago.

      Supercheap has a similar toolpro set on sale for $35,couldn't see anything about warranty but some of the toolpro stuff comes with a lifetime warranty.

  If you're chewing through 20 screwdriver handles, maybe you're not using the right tool for the job?

  I picked up the same screwdriver set from Repco a couple of years ago for the same price. Pretty good for the "indoor DIY modding" jobs but I would never use them on the car.

  I have Kmart and SCA screwdrivers, they both feel really cheap. Is this any better?

  Kitchen drawer screw driver set, wouldn't have it in the garage or main tool box but great to have a set inside the house for changing batteries on toys, adjusting a cabinet hinge, etc…

  Saying that this is what we have in the kitchen drawer

  and a cheap ali express screw driver with all weird bits which hold up to light use.
