Yep aldi has some good tools in sometimes, but you have to be quick, because they sell out fast Sad

see, told you i always seem to agree with ben

they do have good tools too..they seem to last a while, and not snap, like youw ould expect..

but talking about them selling out fast, when they were doing sat nav (were i got mine from)

they wer seeling them at Â£250, cheapst arounda t the time was abuot Â£400

how ever, they managed to shift 35 of them (entire stock)

in just under an hour. they had to order a few more in from a welsh store..

we manged to get the very last one, (display modle)

but its brilliant, never gotten lost with it. and has all of europe on it too
