Outer Limits 4x4 Board

anyone got one? i just got one the other day.

doestnt look too bad for $50

its looks like the same as the $99 one from arb

I saw them the other day when i finally went in to buy the winch pack... they were there 2 days earlier, but now all gone.

Im yet to meet anyone who has been dissappointed in any of the aldi stuff.

I know people who bought the motorcycling gear as well then used it for a 2 week trip which rained the whole time, stayed dry.

Yeah a bloke I work with bought some of the ALDI boots, they were made by alpine star, but without the premium... $130 instead of $600 odd...

I bought one of the 5cm self inflating mattresses from Aldi. It was crap. Took it to a Vic High country snow trip and I slid of the thing during the night. It felt like sleeping on a block of ice. I've now bought an Anaconda 10cm mat that has flip stuff on top. Heaps better.

wow too firsts, some one not happy with aldi

and

someone happy with crapaconda home products.

I just bought the impact wrench from Aldi - Seems ok, has a 1 year warranty too, so who cares... $50 is an ok price.

I bought one of their air compressors a couple of years ago, works a treat. I wouldnt use it for a comp rig or anything but its ok for what I do with it, flat tyres & such & the occaisional all four tyre pump up.

its not the same as the ARB one. Its function is the same, wind up and release. Its not made by the same manufacture

all those impact wrenches probably come out of the one factory anyway
for that money how bas could it be???

I bought one about 18mths ago and have used to change the simexs onto the Patrol at play time......

Has worked without fault and makes swapping tyres quick and painless.....

is there any sort of warranty with them

i sure they got a year but when the cordless remotes shit them selves they had no problems with sending me the replacement parts didnt even have to send the old ones back

slightly off topic, but has anyone got one of them adjustable head ratchets i've seen on tv? could reduce the size of my toolkit!

reduce the size of the heads on your bolts too

I know of someone that got one of there winches for $250.00 cause they couldnt sell them so halfed the price.

Always better to check a few of there stores and see how many of a stock item they have as they allways sell there stuff for half the price if they cant move it.

Bunnings have them for about $30. They look pretty good.

there's a thread about these and from all reports they aren't bad at all

mousie has an aldi winch,
works quite well.

i think the rollers are stuffed but they can be replaced easy enough

Signpost offcuts left over from the cage build?

Seen heaps recently at Toombul, Brisbane.

I've got one, it's come in quite handy, I just leave it in the tool belt when I've been renovating.

So its time for a bit of an education here. We havent got an Aldi up this way, either in Gladstone, Rocky, or anywhere else. Closest that I know of are at Pialba at Hervey Bay, or on the highway at Gympie.

I thought they just sold food, like a Woolies or Coles supermarket. And I was always a bit sus about the quality. Is it just a case of pot luck, and things like bike and 4wd gear comes and goes from different stores. Is it worth stopping in for a quick peek next time I go past one?
