Just a heads up on this for £16.99. Bought one for me and one for work. Pretty good and a decent price

Not advertised in fliers I got the heads up from a pal

I have had 2 Dremel's fail on me, over a couple of years. I will buy a cheap replacement next time and give it a go. I prefer corded 240v tools, but at that price I may try rechargeable.

I'm pretty sure they had accessory packs for them too.

I've bought a few Parkside tools and never had a problem with them so far! (No doubt tomorrow will prove me wrong). :lol:

I bought one as well as an accessory kit - I don’t need either but no doubt one day they’ll both come in very handy!
Parkside kit seems decent quality for a DIY/ Light Duty user.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I love the cheapo Lidl bargains.
Chuffed to bits with my 10 euro soldering station which helped me resolder the correct channels on a headphone extension cable. had been bugging me for years! :lol: :oops:

I have a couple of the lidl cordless multi tools, the ones that oscillate the blade. They lead a hard life and have stood up well for £40 each. Can't moan at the price or quality.

I've had no issues with any other Lidl tools that I've got it was just the rotary that failed due to bad design.
