Aldi Welders

(1/2) > >>

horsethief:
Does anyone know what the welders from Aldi are like? At £135 for a gas/gasless welder it seems okay and the amperage can be turned quite low.I'm using a Kende from screwfix at the mo but it's a bit harsh for the thinner body parts,and I need to do the sporti for it's MOT.

dxmedia:
Buy a decent 2nd hand one for the money.

They are cheap for a reason.

bigant:
we have lots of the aldi stuff generators, welders, compressors, chainsaws.... and we cant fault any of them... we have 2 of there arc welders and they are bloody good as good as the machine mart stuff easy and cheaper. ofc at the start we thought the *why are they so cheap* and started small with little stuff and slowly worked our way up now i wouldn't have any trouble at all in trusting there gear its all very well made very surprising when you click onto it :)

dxmedia:
I've the 2.5hp compressor from aldi, again a heap of sh...   2.5 half dead donkey power I've have thought. The CFM is no where near the output on the side of the box. It's not that mines a dud, my old man picked one up just in case his 2hp sealey died, and again, it's a rubbish as mine.

Good for inflating tyres, but you have to wait for the comprssor to catch up doing that !

Aldi tools are junk. That age old saying of you get what you pay for is true.

Thanks for the opposite points of view.I think I may take a chance can't be any worse than the kende from crewfix.IfI see one in the shop and I've got the cash I'll get one and have a play.Looked at the sip in Halfords as I've got a trade card being an engineer.Good idea these cards if you shop in Halfords,up to 70% on some parts(plugs £12 a set only £4.60 trade)all you need is your city and guilds/btec and company wage chit. :D
