Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Nipped into the Bath Lidl just now on the way to mum's care home and grabbed a box. I noticed they had soldering iron kits for £7.99, but I normally buy irons at the car boots.

My personal shopper also came up blank, so I'll just have to resume searching the garage.

Lidl's Halifax store has them Bill.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Unfortunately, my local (Cockermouth) Lidl is still a building site (due to open later this year), but I'll try to get through to Workington some time during the week and see whether they have any.

Also, by a freak of bad timing I had ordered a pack of five croc clips with screws at more than the cost of the eighty at Lidl prior to hearing about these.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Thanks Alan, I'll mention it!!

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Bear in mind that if you make a special journey to Lidl to buy them, you are doing,
say two miles there and back, stop starting, with cold engine etc
Add that fuel to the cost. :-)

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

I won't just be visiting Lidl (rather more than two miles away), as I've no guarantee that they'll have them in stock, but adding it to my occasional trips into Workington to visit other shops not represented in Cockermouth - and I won't be footing the cost of the bus journey, being an OAP. ;)

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Just got one of the last two boxes at Chelmsford.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

I went to Lidl at Ripley this morning. They did not have any croc clips but had many boxes of alligator clips.:)

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Plenty in Lidl Gloucester , just popped in and bought myself a pack , and also one of the 30w Soldering irons with stand for £7.99, worth a punt .

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

I had the last one at Bristol Road!

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Eastern avenue still have plenty. that's the Gloucester one I went too today.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

The nearest Lidl to me is in Witney, about 14 miles away. Like Dave Moll, I can travel free on the buses, so may go and see if they have any crocodile(Alligator) clips in stock.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

I was in Lidl yesterday, I didn't notice any clips but I only popped in to buy some diced beef to make casserole.

I guess, we're all guilty of spending a Dollar to save a Dime, or Penny wise and Pound foolish. :wall:

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

True, usradcoll1, but, at least in the U.K. those of us who are over 65 can, as Dave Moll noted in post #27, travel on Buses at no cost, which I, as a fellow O.A.P., often do.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Although doesn't a bus journey make a 20 min drive a 2 hour trip?

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

I popped into Letchworth Lidl today, there are plenty in stock.

However, I walked away empty handed. I just felt the lack of insulation on the jaws could get me into trouble, careful placement is needed to avoid accidental shorts.

I'm sticking with the multicoloured sets that I've sourced from CPC, but they're not without fault. The crimped cable joints fail and the boots are so tight, the jaws don't open easily.

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

You're right about Bus Journey times, Sinewave, but I don't drive anyway, so accept the fact that I have to travel at the times and via the routes specified by the bus companies. A second thought occurs, one with which vehicle owners will be all too familiar-the time often taken to find a parking space!!

Re: Croc Clips at Lidl
 

Just picked up my box of Alligator Clips from the Lidl in Motherwell - plenty in stock. :)
