ALDI Power Tools
Purchased a Ferrex 25.4cc petrol blower in August 2025 and four months later it still works like a dream. It's a bit noisy and the mixing bottle that… Read more
came with it leaks like a sieve but for $99.99, it does what it is supposed to do, so no real complaints.
ALDI Drills
Model PT190101. Drill hardly used, works OK, No Manual? – There's a ring around the base of the chuck with numbers 1-21. What are they? I can't find a manual to explain them. The keyless chuck requires very… Read more
strong wrists to release the drill bit. There may be an easy way, but there's no manual to explain it. My drill has had only light use and still works OK. If you have heavy duty work for your drill you should consider spending more on a more professional tool.

We bought this a few years ago and put it away, and didn't end up using it till this weekend. We read the instructions, assembled the little that… Read more
needed assembly. The painter primed when switched on (return line flowing), but when we turned the dial to "Spray" we got nothing. The pump was still on, but nothing was happening. We turned the dial back to prime and got nothing. We checked that there were no blockages, and tried again - nothing. We've had it too long to take back so it's in the recycling bin without ever actually working. Complete rubbish. I am one and done with Ferrex.
Fantastic – I got one for Christmas , way better than I expected, lots of power and lots of attachments . Show details
Ideal for push bike and motorcycle. Works for car & caravan – I use this for my motorcycle which often needs just another 5 psi before a ride without having to set up my air compressor. I take it with me on a… Read more
tour and check my tyres each day before heading off. I just crossed Australia and used it for my car and caravan tyres, though it’s a bit slower for them, but never overheated. Didn’t need a recharge in two months. Gives the exact same pressure readings as two different tyre pressure readers. Love it & only AU$40.
Waste of money – Opened the gun after 2 years of owning and doesn't fire nail or staples. Air bypasses and hammer doesn't retract. This tool is useless.

Best pole saw ever! – I wasn’t sure about this but once I learned how to put it together and add oil correctly it is amazing! I just let my neighbor borrow and they want… Read more
one too! Hoping they come back around so they can get one. I had oil leaking but it was operator error.
AN EASY TO USE TYRE COMPRESSOR - FERREX MINI COMPRESSOR – Tried out the Ferrex Mini Compressor today. Bought it at Aldi for $79.99 on 23/10/2023. Used it on an old wheelbarrow tyre. Set the pressure for… Read more
20psi, then 25, then 26. Switched on and pumped up. Checked the tyre pressure with a stick tyre gauge. As I often accidentally let air out when putting the stick on to measure pressure, I had to repeat the processes several times. The gauge appears to be accurate as can be seen in the 2 photos showing the compressor and then the stick. I’ll check against car tyre pressures when in town next. Will be useful for my car and van tyres. PROS: easy to use (and easier than another compressor I have) appears to be accurate can set required tyre pressure all cords and adaptors are held in compartments on the machine cables and hose are long enough compact fair price easy to read digital screen light weight at 1.0 kg 3 year warranty C0NS: can’t think of any.
At this stage I highly recommend it. 5 stars.
Brilliant toy for the half acre – Built in China for Aldi globally, Australia was lucky to get a limited shipment. Delivered part assembled in a crate. Straight forward assembly with… Read more
basic metric tools. Engine required 600ml of oil, transmission is pre-filled. Gearbox was initially notchy but got more positive engagement with use. In the first uses, bolts needed tightening. I fitted a digital running hour meter and changed oil at 20 hours. Dumper is well made, moved more than 12 cbm of soil and scoria in the first month. Very happy Owner

Don't be fooled into buying one. It is the most "crappiest" not to mention the most Inaccurate device regardless of the ridiculous accuracy they… Read more
state. Also impossible to level or direct because it is just poorly cased and the laser beam always points in any direction rather than where you aim it. Need I say more. ALDI remove them from your stores or else have each one checked and verified accurate by an expert, prior to selling them.
Don't waste your time or money – Used for less than 5 minutes cutting 10mm soft pine & plywood timber when it stopped working. Absolute rubbish - will return for a refund. Lesson learnt "you get what you pay for" Show details
Can't Use This – the whole thing isnt too weighty to manage for a woman.. would be darn nice if the thing actually worked. plugged it in to use it today to tidy up around the house and it wont even turn on very poor for the money spent on the item... Show details

I bought my unit three years ago for $129 - a returned item. I bought it expecting a small challenge - and it presented itself in the form of a carb… Read more
that needed cleaning. Cleaned it, and worked well - $129 for 6 tools on a 2 stroke engine is cheap.
Engine fires up within 3 pulls if tuned properly and the correct sequence is followed. It is a heavy unit - but the engine is 32cc vs 25cc of other lighter units. My carb did experience a blockage, and I seized the engine. While looking at how much money I would need.... realised I could order replacement parts from China. $32 later and got a new cylinder engine and fitted it, ran it in and now it starts 1st or 2nd pull!
For the price, the unit is adequate - if you expect Stihl quality (over $2K for $200 that is not possible) - and is durable. The most used item is the hedger and the pruning saw which helps keep taller branches out of the way.
The market is saturated with X in 1 multitools - these are just clones of the same product with some tweaks / different stickers. Most parts are interchangeable from the supply chain - just search on Aliexpress or amazon.
Why did I give it 4 stars then? While I am happy for the cost, something went wrong. The little wire tang that connects the accelerator cable broke - it is flimsy as, and while there are ways to repair it, the only way to repair is by buying a whole handle. Bit overkill needing a cable end yet spend $30 for a whole handle.
If you are on a budget - worth it, but you may need to troubleshoot a bit should things go wrong.
