    Wonder if that work stand is any good or if it's made of self-destructing cheese...

    I saw on here some people had purchased them and rated them and others had some issues. I'm sure Kowalski had an issue?

    I could do with a workstand and at that money I reckon it's worth a punt, if it's not fit for purpose it will be going staright back.

    I can vouch for the workstand - it's pretty robust and solid for £30 IMO. Used it and had no problems.

    Stay away from that foot pump, my father-in-law bought one (to be honest he has bought one of almost every single Lidl special, I think he's collecting them) I had to use it once in an emergency and it is rubbish.

    I remember that thread. Was it this one under discussion? I thought it was a stand from one of the big bike box–shifters.

    I thought it was the stand from LIDL but I may have been wrong. :?

    EDIT: I have found the original thread, it was one were Kowalski and Cooldad were having banter :shock: . Apparently some of the T-pieces on the stands diffrered, some were metal and some were plastic, the plastic ones were obviously shoot!

    +1 on the stand, picked one up in August for £30. The clamp is made of crap, so I'd stick a cloth on it so it doesn't damage your frame, beyond that, does perfectly well :)

    This ^ I bought one a while back. Didn't pump up at all, then I touched the dial and it snapped off!

    Bit like the Aldi one, I bought a Aldi track pump last year and pumped up my tyre, got a massive bang and the hose blew off the pump, shooting a plastic ball bearing at me?!

    Straight back to Aldi for my money back.

    The stand,

    better than nothing but wish I would have paid more and bought a proper one. The clamp snapped so had to write to Aldi and they then sent a part from Germany. The blue rubber bits ate constantly dropping off. Its better than nothing but alot better about for not much more.

    When I asked on here about what workstand I should buy I had quite a few replies from people saying they had picked up theirs from Lidl for around £30, well here it is for anyone who wants a bargain. Your welcome :wink:

    Aye, the stand I bought went back for a fund. It could've been good, but was rendered completely pants by the way too flimsy plastic t piece. Put a bike on it and it bounced around like Zebedee with ADHD.

    The multi-tool and chain cleaner should be OK.

    Got the stand today. Pretty sturdy and seems well built. Will see if it stands the test of time.

    The chain cleaner is alright. Does the job but a bit flimsy. Can't see that lasting long.
