Title: ALDI TOOLS
Post by: Draco (Heartbreak Kid) on January 31, 2016, 04:56:03 PM

 :blu13 For those who like cheap GOOD tools. I bought this set of Allen Keys yesterday at Aldi $5.99. because needed to undo riser plate on ST 1300 (Blue Beast) BUT kept bending normal Allen Keys

this looks pretty cheap, but proved to be very strong

i think people complained about early stuff. I believe they lifted their game. i have  1/4" socket set, comes with everything and am very happy.
use it a lot. perfect for playing with plastic fairings. just remembering its 1/4" when things get too tight, get out big guns then.

Supercheap Auto had a special on this weekend for Impact Sockets.  These are meant for rattle guns, but are ideal for tough nuts because they are 6 sided rather than the usual 12.  The latter will round off a difficult nut.  I had paid $22 previously for the 17mm one for the rear axle.  This is a set of 10 metric 1/2" drive deep sockets for $51.  I had a $5 loyalty discount, so got 10 sockets in a metal box for just twice the price of one.
Again, it's not Snap-On, but I doubt I can break them- they're solid.
