do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
These always used to be £299 plus P&P.

At £199.99 these are an absolute steal in my book. Even come with 3yr warranty!

Hopefully will help someone out.

yeh they've knocked a hundred quid off 'em in two chunks in the last couple of months and have been unloading all sorts of their Ferrex stuff ... :)
got quite a collection at half price the last few weeks ...
still well happy with what's arrived for my irregular use, they're fine - and as said - 3yr warranty ....
something to be aware of - if you need to return anything it has to go back in ORIGINAL box, so keep them boxes ....
just waiting for their little 'skillsaws' to come up again and maybe one of those vibratory saw thingies - never used/handled one, but BIL says they're great for all sorts of awkward jobs and I ought to have one :giggle:

they can keep clearing stock as long as they like (y)
think they'm waiting for the pop too :rolleyes::unsure:

Aldi in Aber in the process of extending their shop and amazingly have closed the whole operation for X weeks :oops: .. not open again 'til the 12th December, earliest :oops:o_O ... been shut since beginning of Oct. .. lot of PO-ed regulars

ATS next door have done well out of it .... parted with some of their land for a shiny new depot -- old place had been condemned, for as long as I can remember - massive subsidence issues :rolleyes:

First time out in anger. First thing, it’s about half the weight of any plate Wacker I’ve ever used before. Two People could lift it into a van or estate, downside is it needs a lot of passes (material in the picture is limestone type one) and it isn’t going to break any lumps up. Took half an hour to put that area down anything like. It would be good on sand fill.
