    Mate got the vice a few months back, said it's good quality and heavy duty. Don't know about the saw

    I got the cross-cut saw the last time it was on offer in Lidl and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

    I had been looking to get one for ages but was put off by the price of them . I couldn't justify paying upwards of €250 for a cross-cut saw at the time so I bought the lidl one.

    So far I have used it for decking, making a jungle gym, various pieces of garden furniture as well as skirting and various other jobs. So basically it has got a lot of use and the blade is as good as new - its easy to move from place to place which is a big plus for me too.

    I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone - the only issue I have had with mine is the laser line which can be tempramental, but in saying that I haven't looked at it as you (in my opinion) don't really need a laser line on a cross-cut saw.

    + 1 for the vice. Great for little bits of metal work, if it's the one I'm thinking of - the one with the anvil. Capacity wouldn't be too suitable for general wood work though.

    Brilliant!
    That video could become a classic - 21st century how are yah! Reminds me of the sort of stuff which used to be on before the main film at the Savoy. Anyone remember "McDowell's - the happy ring house" ? :D
