ALDI Return - VDE Screwdrivers

DingoBlue on 15/04/2024 - 21:54

I bought some Aldi VDE screwdrivers probably 12-18 months and they’re surprisingly pretty trash. They are wearing out after only a few uses. Would they refund now without a receipt?

Their policy isn’t crystal clear and I’m more interested in real world experience than the policy.

    The $11.99 set?

    So, you survived an electric shock, and lived?
    Happy days.

    The policy is 3 months for special buy. Not sure if trash quality would be a warranty issue, but if the warranty is past then no.

    For warranty issues within date, you can return without a receipt as long as you have a bank statement for them to look up. I returned a kitchen mixer about 3-4 years in as it started spraying everywhere. I was pretty lucky that I wrote an ozb comment about it so I had a good guess as to when I bought it. Not saying this applies to your situation, but just sharing my experience with Aldi warranties

    Put them away as spares and buy a better set, i feel all VDE screwdrivers are softer than normal stainless steel screwdrivers but this depends on price and brand and quality.

      Funny that’s exactly what I had just bought and then started wondering about returning the Aldi ones.

    You'll probably have to make it a ACL statutory warranty issue

    Elaborate? I used a set every day at work (electrician) and apart from the printing wearing off they are in very good condition. I've bought 2 more sets since to have around the house as spares

      this is probably why. DIYers tend to abuse the hell out of their tools and use them incorrectly so they get wrecked quicker than a pro

    Crystal clear 90 days with receipt otherwise only if faulty and in the warranty period.

    and they’re surprisingly pretty trash

    I've found a lot of Aldi electronic and trade stuff to be pretty trash.

    I bought one of their work lights and used it a few times before it blew a resistor and died. It wasn't cheap too.

    I'd take the $12 loss and forget about it.

    It is $12 dude.. I am sure they’ll refund it anyway so you can leave the store quicker.
