Default Lidl

Popped in Lidl today and saw one of those small oil suction pumps for changing oil etc. £12.99 if I remember correctly.

They're advertising Parkside 50L compressors for £119 this weekend, quite a selection of air tools too.

Those look interesting. Now what excuse do I need to buy them? I wonder if we even get those offers over here.

EDIT: Just checked their website and turns out the Lidl stores in NI started selling this stuff yesterday, so chances are slim anything will be left by tomorrow.

You can get a 50L compressor from SGS for less than that:

I have their 6L compressor, which I use for inflating tyres, blowing out the dust in PCs, etc. Had it several years now. It's been a great little compressor.

Not so good for us in NI. £43 extra to post the compressor. Will have to go see if I can pick up a compressor and the sand blasting kit at least.

Wow. Why is delivery so expensive and difficult to NI? You're still part of the UK, right?

FWIW, the sand “blaster” will probably be useless! They need a lot of air!
