[NJARC] Good quality tools for cheap!

[JOE CRO]

Hello All,
             I just wanted to share information about a recent purchase that 
may be of interest to some of the "impoverished experimenters" among us like 
myself.

I very recently purchased a "Special Purchase" 4 pcs, pliers set at my local 
"Aldi" supermarket that included a 7" diagonal cutters or "dykes", a 8" 
Linemans' pliers, 8" long nose pliers, and a conventional 8" slip joint 
pliers on a special CLOSEOUT price of $4.99. That's $1.25 for each tool in 
the set, and half off the regular prices whilst supplies last.

I suspected typical Chinese quality handtools. You can take that for what 
it's worth since Chinese tools tend to lack somewhat in quality. I was quite 
surprised that the "dykes" and "Linemans" pliers actually cut and each piece 
in the set is very well made. A very good bargain indeed, especially for 
quality tools!

Even if you don't need any pliers to augment your workbench, these are 
definitely worth buying for the price.

I didn't need anything in the set, but just can't pass up on a perceived 
bargain if I think I could use it. I wish I bought two sets!

For anyone interested, they're sold under the "Kingcraft" brand, a Aldi, 
exclusive, under item# 1386-08.

I have no pecuniary interest in the pliers set or Aldi, just though I'd pass 
along a real bargain for those who might be interested.

Just think, it's only .25 more a piece than what you'd pay at a Dollar 
Store, and they actually work!

Best Regards,
                     Joe Cro N3IBX
