Gentlemen
I've seen that Lidl are advertising a Router at £29.99
That would appear to be an excellent price if it was any good!
Does anybody have experience of this tool, please?
Is it worth buying? Does it come in a case (like many of Lidl/Parkside powertools) or just a cardboard box?
I will value your reviews and comments
With best wishes and thanks.

Hi Just a couple of questions before I can really advise correcty, how much use is it going to be having, also what is it going to be used for?
I made a router table with one of these below which work really well, please check the specs as I feel for the same kind of money this may be a better option.

Hope this is of some help, feel free to contact me for any further information,

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I doubt that I would get much use out of a router but my attitude to Lidl is that I often buy something when it's on offer [and cheap] since it may never re-appear. I bought a Sabre saw from Aldi for £12.50 without knowing exactly what I would use it for but have subsequently found it invaluable.
Since Screwfix have a couple of routers at the same sort of price, I'll wait until I actually need one to do a job
With best wishes and thanks again.
