My corded one works fine, I have had it for about 30 years and it doesn't really get a lot of use so I am reluctant but I think it is necessary for safety's sake. Watch the weight. I find the heavy ones too difficult to use and when using a heavy one as a driver the screws go all over the place as I can’t hold it steady. I was going to buy the girly Titan one that @PeterW recommended a while back but by the time I made a decision it was OOS.

Sign up by 12th Feb and you have to use the voucher by 17th Feb. You HAVE to go to Amazon via the Head For Points link / advert (you may need to whitelist the page to see the ad), if you have extra strong anti tracking protection it may strip out the referral link, and you have to opt into emails (so that Amazon can send you the voucher) https://www.headforpoints.com/2019/02/03/amazon-business-50-offer/?fbclid=IwAR11U92811QuQjGLnGSBr3-m9FUjrBHfqiZelr62zL2SG2mbXvoE7s4UdTc Some are saying that you need to enter a VAT number but they have found a way round that - if I find out what that is I will update this thread. Edit - the FAQs say this about the VAT number: Do I need a VAT number to register? No, adding a VAT number is optional. If you do not wish to add a VAT number during registration, leave the field blank and continue with your registration. If you choose to add a VAT number, it will be printed on your invoices. You can add your VAT number any time after registration through the 'Ordering and shopping preferences' on Your Account to enable this functionality. Why do I get an error when I add a VAT number? You may get an error message if the VAT number is incomplete or not in the required format. Make sure that the VAT number you add is complete and in the following format - GB123456789 (2 digit country code followed by a 9 digit number). That worked! Thanks very much
March 11, 20197 yr Another set of Aldi DIY offers. https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/dates/2019-03-14?sort=popular&q=%3Apopular%3AtransactionalStatus%3Atransactional%3AtransactionalStatus%3Anontransactional%3AEvent%3ADIY&page=0 Breaker and mitre saw stand look interesting. Vibrating plate compactor - not sure whether I would get enough use of it for the money.
March 11, 20197 yr I've just been looking at the plate compactor https://www.aldi.co.uk/vibrating-plate-compactor/p/012133263416400?utm_source=Aldi&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Header&utm_campaign=OSDEmail11032019&sap-outbound-id=1988FF87141D78FCE51269EF581FE2A826EBCADB I've a fair bit of patio's and paths to do plus potentially a drive so I think I could justify the price - hire will get expensive because I only get evenings and the odd weekend to get it done. Does anyone know anything about it? Specs look OK compared to a Belle PCLX 400 Compactor Plate. OR do I just buy a Belle on ebay - might be easier to sell post finishing the house..... Any thoughts welcome. Thanks

March 11, 20197 yr @ProDave - I guess its not a Belle one? They seem to command a premium. The 3 year warranty is tempting on that Aldi one...
