Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Having found my local Lidl (in Maryport, not Workington), it seemed there were neither crocs nor 'gators lurking there.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Here, we have both Croc clips and Alligator clips. The croc clips have a different nose shape, flat tip, where the alligator clips have a pointier tip.

Dave, you've enlightened me. I always thought that Crocodile and Alligator Clips were the same thing.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Open to debate I think. Have a look at this link on Mueller's website:

https://info.muellerelectric.com/the...guide-to-clips

It is claimed that the company's founder co-invented the 'universal test clip' ie, the alligator or crocodile clip.

I always tried to buy the Mueller Electric products, as they were always the best. :thumbsup:

To offset that today's Metro newspaper has a coupon giving £5 off a spend of £20 or more at Lidl...it's valid until close of business on the 19th.

No clips in Lidl, Manor, Sheffield branch either.

Crewkerne had them last week but Portland, that only had a steel frame, some scaffolding and construction machinery!

Plenty in Morden yesterday.

Me to! now where is my nearest Lidl ? Mick.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Have a look at the store locator on their web site.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Didn't see any in the Hempshaw Lane store this week*, anyone been in Councillor Lane?

*but on the way I did stop off at a charity shop which has a big box of spanners :)

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Monmouth had them today- I came out with a set plus a cable tie and clip set, a useful mix of heatshrink, butt joint crimps, P clips and cable ties. Some spray paint, chipboard screws, a magnetiser/demagnetiser and a couple of lavender plants also came along too.

It was 14 miles out of my way, but in the Leaf that's only about 50p for electricity.

Unlikely that I'll ever need all of the 80 Alligator Clips I purchased from Lidl - so PM me if you are interested in acquiring a few FOC.

Just my way of giving something back to the Forum.

Same here, I'll never use 80 of them either, so happy to pass some on FOC.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Central Rotherham branch does not have them either. The manager said that they, like the other branches I’ve visited have never had them. Presumably none of the branches served by the Doncaster depot has had them. Never mind.

I’ve seen the generous offers to share them but I have to say that I don’t have a particular use for any at the moment so thanks, but no thanks. Like most of us I suppose most purchases are “that will be useful - one day” ;)

The main thing for which I use crocodile/alligator clips is for connecting to the spring terminals of 6V 916 batteries.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Nothing in the Aberystwyth store.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Just to save you an unnecessary visit.....
None in Darnall Sheffield. Also tried Rotherham Doncaster Road only to find that it is a new branch that does not open until 27/6!
