It looks OK , can't be sure of the quality but you can't go wrong for £2.99. The box is worth that.Make a nice jewellery box for the wife !!!

Just checked out this site, and found theres a store not a million miles from me, that box of goodies is quite amazing value, how on earth can they produce and sell them at just £2.99, it will cost more in petrol to get to the store and park, but nether the less, i'm going to get me a box, many thanks Bilbo

Its pretty amazing with plenty of spare sandpapers and buffing pads. My local Lidl had about 100 in stock so there seems enough to go around.

I will start a Lidl/Netto/Aldi watch thread as its always useful to know of any hobby related bargains.

Aldi have a decent sized small parts bin for £4.99 at the moment with about 30 drawers.

Happy modelling

Woolworths also have a good varispeed set for £7.

It is the same design as one i got from B&Q about 3 years ago for £30!

I now dont have to keep swapping those pesky collets. i just have a drill for 3.2 and one for 2.4 and another for evrything else and 2 spare fransformers!
they also had a glue gun for about £2

This thread is a great idea

Sorry i should have said the £7 includes the drill transformer and about 20 accessories. 8,000-30,000rpm
