The one I bought from Aldi is still going strong after 5 years or so...sirch345 wrote:Ha ha cheers Mac. I knew that was in the good old USA, I couldn't find the same over here. I was not being serious though, hence the "wink" smiley face at the end
After having a good run around to my local shops I have all but given up on finding a half descent one locally. I'm beginning to think I might just as well buy a cheap one with 12mths warranty for around a tenner. That way if it last 12mths and then goes wrong out of warranty I can throw it away and buy another new one. Not the way I like to do things, but it looks this is the way the market dictates

Funny you should mention that as I have been keeping my eye open for both Aldi and Lidl to list them again. Normally their stuff is German made, so might be better than Chinese made products.MacV2 wrote: The one I bought from Aldi is still going strong after 5 years or so...
Chris I've just checked my one & there is no ''made in ....'' anywhere in sight !sirch345 wrote:Funny you should mention that as I have been keeping my eye open for both Aldi and Lidl to list them again.

those look like what I have been seeing locally. Will have to have take another look 
I know, that's why I put free in bold. I have a Texaco and a Sainsburys garage nearby which both offer free air. I refuse to pay for air.If you can find a free one these days that is.
IIRC I think Lidl's is a German company.It states on the label 250 PSI/17 bar & there is http://www.kompernass.com ...Kinda sounds German...
It is but they don't make the stuff they just sell it, just like any other supermarket.cybercarl wrote:I know, that's why I put free in bold. I have a Texaco and a Sainsburys garage nearby which both offer free air. I refuse to pay for air.If you can find a free one these days that is.
Bad news I'm afraid Carl, as from April 1st the Gov is introducing a new law charging all those living within the M25 for the air they breath...Called the ''Spare Lung Tax'' you'll have to have one of those tests where you blow the thing that measures lung capacity, then they multiply it by 2 & multiply that by Pi if you have two lungs & by slice of Pi if you only have one. Of course if you a smoker your lung capacity will be lower & therefore you'll pay less ''SLT'' so taking this into consideration & despite the fact that you already pay bundles of tax on Tab's N Baccy, smokers will be charged double. As will owners of gas guzzling motahs with Hoooooog carb's & not nice green Fi vehicles. All this despite the fact that breathing the air anywhere within the M25 is still full of particulates n shite anyway. Apparently If you can hold your breath all day your exempt on Sunday.

You jest but that is exactly what may happen one day with the way things are going in this country. I realise we are not paying for the air exactly, but the maintenance of the compressor. You never know but one day the world may suffer from such extreme global warming that we will all live under giant domes where air is filtered through to us. We may then be charged for it.Bad news I'm afraid Carl, as from April 1st the Gov is introducing a new law charging all those living within the M25 for the air they breath...Called the ''Spare Lung Tax'' you'll have to have one of those tests where you blow the thing that measures lung capacity, then they multiply it by 2 & multiply that by Pi if you have two lungs & by slice of Pi if you only have one.

Yeah I'm not looking forward to having the ''Air Meter'' fitted, you should see the state of the pavements round here from all the water meter fitments...cybercarl wrote:You jest but that is exactly what may happen one day with the way things are going in this country.
