I already mentioned that I don't understand why your channel is not huge by now. I truly believe you should be. You always entertaining and educational plus fun . Just know Ian Matthews we do appreciate you all your videos. THANK YOU 😊

ive got both the 18 volt and the 20 volt drills had them for 3 years never had a fault with them. Yes they are not a top brand But for the money they are spot on for in my shed.

Fantastic review Ian and congratulations on 12k👍👍👍👍

Congratulations on the 12,000 subs. Sorry to see the issue with the threads. Good review.

Congrats pal, we deserved! Not bad that Aldi drill 👍 cheers Rob

I've just bought the 20/40v Combi drill for £11.99 saw it online for £14.99 but looked in store and got it for £11.99 well happy

Hello Ian, Another nice practical review.... thank you. Take care. Paul,,

I bought the angle grinder which takes 230mm blade from lidl and the brushless 12v drill which came with two batteries and screw drill bits. Using the large angle after using the small angle grinder, I realised you need to be extra careful. But I like the 40v drill you have there it's the torque which is important.

When you tighten the chuck after you hear the rachet clicks turn it 1 click in the opposite direction which locks the chuck and stops it from becoming loose.

Av got the Parkside one from Lidl it's really good had it for a few years now. Congratulations on your 12k

Morning Ian, for the money they are a good bit of kit to be fair. All the best. 👍

🎉Congratulations on 12K🎉

Big Boys toys, always nice! Have a nice weekend Ian!

Super test and review

Good man love your videos

When drilling holes in metal , a drop of oil makes drill bits cut faster . I looked at isolating tools for years last year at work I was using it a lot ., so l went and bought one for myself ausume tool can’t be without one now 👍🇨🇦

Congrats on your 12k Ian! I'm still trying to catch you! 😜

👍black and yellow team rulez... bit overprized tough reliable im stick to it for now cheers to all other reliable tools brands

Done the job great and like the way you said it's easy to get ya bits out lol

Good old Velbon tripod head! Recognised it before I saw the name.

Great review. I have the same 40V combi drill but it has one irritating issue - it doesn't fit in the case with the battery attached. Maybe mine came in the wrong case - one for an earlier model perhaps?

“Horses for courses!” Looks like a good drill to do what it says on the box. Great review. Thank you. 👏👏👍😀 Oh, and congratulations on reaching 12k subs. Well deserved 🎉 Had a go at plug soup, didn’t like it the taste 🤢 Where did I go wrong 🥴

Hi Ian, the Aldi drill looks the biz and I like the idea of the all steel chuck, but was wondering if the chuck removal was via crosshead or Allen screw fixing?

Regarding the starting speed of the drill, does it make any difference of you use the lower gear by changing it on the top of the drill?

I find most brushless drills are giulty of undoing there chucks because of highspeed stopping involved. It will be interresting to see long term

Can't go wrong at the price Ian. Update required in 12 months...... Will it live?

Why didn't you use any bits to test the torque, like a hole cutter or a flat blade, I'm not looking to buy one but was curious

How different Ian is to me in the way he handles his tools. He just places these new tools on a heap of other equipment. I carefully place mind down on clear working surfaces - wherever that may be, say on a floor protection mat near a vehicle or working in a room, or on a bench is a workshop. I obviously need therapy! These Aldi tools seem to perform well and are a bargain price. Durability and reliability will only show after extended use. Battery packs (especially if you have three or four) tend to keep a user loyal to one brand, as they and the chargers are expensive.

When you tighten the bit,click opposite way it will lock bit and stop it coming lose.

Ian, you are a tight Yorkie, if they were £5 you would probably still find a problem with them. I have several of the Forrex drills, drill drivers, impact drivers, battery grinder, and for the money they are the best value, all taking the same 20/40v battery. The only exception I have found is the Forrex long grass trimmer which uses the 20/40v battery and it's rubbish, it stalls as soon as it meets a piece of thick grass, and it should be mains 240 v powered.

Carnt you make a stand for the grinder out of all the scrap you have mate

Tools seem to working as advertised, definitely have to get another get another battery though !

I made some hangers under a shelf in the shed and hang up the drill and impact driver upside down by the battery, saves me knocking them over all the time.

Never mind the drill. What Brand is the masonary bit!!

Do you have a multimeter? Try to find 40volts from these batteries.

try the superglue and cotton wool trick to fix tripode top. stuff cotton wool in the thread hole put superglue on cottonwool set it with spray if you have it. then re_ drill hole to retap thread. it work well. see on KZfaq video

When you tighten your chuck do a wee turn in the opposite direction until you hear a click that locks the chuck ma man!

Drilling rocks c'mon impressive !

#boom1st

if you tighten the chuck fully then turn it back one click it will lock the chuck .. secret function..

Let the dog see the rabbit🤣

Thanks Ian for the review Even the cheaper stuff has come a long way but if your a pro in the contracting field it’s Milwaukee first and Dewalt second

Go use for scrap copper

Lol You lovely folk

do up tight then back off 1 click,

Alright Ian. I've watched this video the other day about a locking feature on drills which most people don't know about .could you try this on your new ferrix drill.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5eBe7J8q56yf2g.html.noticed it clicked when you loosened the drill bit so it might have lock on it

If you can’t stand it up you will never knock it over possibly damaging a disc before use…

I couldn't find a 40 v battery for a bit . Finlay found one put i in my trolly with my beers an dome other useless stuf like milk go to the till and I couldn't find it so I was was pissed off once again the missus put the shopping away and later on I find the battery on my kitchen work top how it got there I don't know battery fairy's making up for what the tooth fairys owe me maybe ? Or was it the scrap gods who gave it to me for free🤣🤣😇😇

Pull an AvE, take it apart!

Just bought another two for £14.99 each delivered.....absolute bargain.

Come on Ian do what you do best and Tek it bits Show us whats inside your brand new drill Seee what value it has 🤣😂

Don't buy Velbon tripods the threaded heads are total crap, it's very soft aluminium, not aircraft grade aluminium alloy which the respected tripod manufacturers use, and, the geared rising centre column also suffers from the same poor quality, value engineering design.

the way you treat your tools is appalling.
