Aldi Torque Wrench + Lidl Car bits

[ChrisUK]

An extra tenner will get an official karcher K2 and accessory pack from argos (reduced from £140).

 

[dave]

karcher are crap

 

[ChrisUK]

yeah of course they are.

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

:yeahthat:

 

[dave]

they are the fittings are karcher only and the hose quality is terrible compared to others, the aldi n lidl ones might be just as bad i dont know as i dont have one of them i have a karcher

 

[Jazzist]

Best bang for the buck is Nilfisk. Lidl tend to be rebadged lavor and the aldi karcher. Get the cheapest Nilfisk with metal pump and store indoors if possible (above 0c).

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Can't say I have hose quality issues with my karcher.

 

[Jazzist]

The lidl one looks fine. Aluminium pump and 3 year warranty.

 

[Jazzist]

Any idea what torque range the aldi wrench is?

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Not sure, all I know is that compressor isn't powerful enough to run it

 

[Jazzist]

Ah, see previous page, upto 210nm. V good. After one I think

 

[ChrisUK]

I've only just replaced my Karcher 180 I bought second hand when I was 16... I got sick of not being able to buy accessories for it and I left it outside when we got that 2 week snow spell which made it a bit leaky .

The big compressors they had for 99.99 are down to 79.99 in my local. Hardly sold any, still a stack of them. Big stuff is trickier to shift? You can't exactly sneak it in the trolley with the bog roll when the wife isn't looking. The caravan step might be good for the washing the roof of the 500l, its 5'6" tall.. Maybe at 2.99... for 14.99 I'll stand on a beer crate

That's a good deal. Lowish capacity but still good item for the price. Variable output voltage so can power loads of stuff eg laptops.
