I see Lidl have a wet vac available this week at €40 as part of their auto range. Has anyone used one before? At €40 it’s not a big risk, esp for the handful of times it’d ever be used.

Their battery charges are supposed to be ok as well.
Have both the wet vac & battery charger a few years now. No complaints with the wet vac at all for the price.
Battery charger does the job, if battery is below 11v it can sometimes be stubborn to start charging
The ultimate Valentines Day present :cheerful:
Yeah, Mrs D would love that.....Quote:

In fact, the more I think about it, there's a risk that such a conversation could become counter-productive. I may just be as well to go to Lidl myself.

I’ve also found it best to not mention them at all when they’re in storage.
I had to use that one myself when Andy was selling his e30...... I was able to construct a narrative that worked a treat though.Quote:

Its so satisfying seeing the brown water that come off even clean looking seats and carpets. Looks nice and neat also.
I bought the trickle charger. Tested and works a treat.
I've bought the wet and dry vac. Still in the box but i assume it will be grand once i get a chance to have a crack at it.
Today i bought the air ratchet and impact. Ratchet seems fine. More a time saver really than anything else.
The gun however is not such a good buy. Build is robust and there appears to be plenty of torque in the unit you go to use it. Having tried to loosen some wheel nuts it simply chugs away but does nothing of any use. It's going back tomorrow.
I was in Lidl today and was surprised to still see a fair stack of them left on the shelves!
Give it another week and they'll be half price - generally it's not worth their while to return to their warehouse as they're a large (hence costly enough) item to be holding in stock....:)Quote:
