I always look to see where the items made and the warranty, usually it's Germany and three years warranty, sounds like you got a bargain
Wandering around Aldi at a loose end today, I spotted the Mini Bench Grinder for £23.99 with a load of accessories, now I know they aren't brilliant but they will do for small grinding/polishing jobs.
Any way opened the box, no accessories just the grinder and flexi drive, asked the manager can you discount this seeing as parts are missing and it's the last one, yep you can have it for £15.None showing in stock at any local store.
Got home e-mailed Aldi to see if I could still get the accessory pack? 15mins later ( honest) Aldi customer service rang me to say they had located another one in store, and had reserved it with my name on it.
Went to collect this afternoon, Manager said there you are, a new boxed grinder complete for £15 didn't want the other 8.99 . Aldi gave a superb service and were brilliant.
Sorry to grind on a bit, but it made a change to receive a professional service

i seen these in the other week ,, i hesitated as didnt need one ,, fast forward a week and need to grind a trigger go to store and all sold out lesson of the day dont question your hoard of unused items and when you see something new cheap and handy even if you dont need it ,, buy it hahahahha
Not really a good analogy that made in Germany quote, in the 60s we made Rolls Royces:-
and Vauxhall Victors
But I know what you mean, I have some gear from Aldi, Spanners sets, screw driver sets and the box of taps and dies and they have all got me out of a fix at one time or another but they would not have gone into my tool box before I retired.

Nothing wrong with these for the money, I have one and also the Aldi Work Zone belt grinder, you can't go wrong with the bullet proof Aldi guarantee either, it's a no brainer for the price.
