Dunno if they are sold in the USA. Have you got Aldi there?
If you do then just keep an eye on their site ‘Specials’.15 October 2014 at 4:31 pm #119563i dont know if we can buy/sell on here so i’ll try to sort something out if i can help i will, maybe do it through ebay or the likes leave it with me i’ll see what i can do i’m on facebook if that makes it easyier i dont want to bring this site into any conflict .
Here in Ireland they were available as well. I’m writing “were”, because they disappeared as soon as shops opened. I was lucky enough to call my friend at Aldi as soon as I got the message and reserve a set for me. When I got them today I understood the hype about them – they are made from good steel, handle fits nicely in my big hand (and there is enough meat to shape them to the smaller hands if needed) and price is almost too good to be true.
18 October 2014 at 1:00 pm #119661They didn’t have them in my local Aldi down in Cornwall….I looked but it appears they never got any in..maybe someone can find out where Aldi get them from so we can organise some kind of bulk purchase or something…then we can shop them out to people overseas that want them.
20 October 2014 at 4:21 pm #119714just got the last sets in the shop ,they’ll be in the post tomorrow this is the fourth lot ive sent out ,nine sets all together i wish i could get them cheaper i hope you all enjoy setting them up for some real woodwork.

Of course NO promise’s but I was impressed some one got back to me as soon as they did. Will have to wait and see.

21 October 2014 at 3:19 pm #119876good luck with that Steve, i’ve been in touch with some US manufacturers about buying in bulk but not many want to take on the shipping, even though i offered to pay upfront, strange i would of thought they wanted to widen their markets, i guess they only want to supply the big guys ie amazon
23 October 2014 at 5:38 pm #120070Does anyone happen to have anymore they would be willing to ship out?
I wonder what the manufacturer would consider as a bulk shipments to someone in the US. No doubt someone on here has a retail establishment that has all of the legal stuff to receive a bulk order and distribute. I doubt they would just ship a few hundred packs to any old person but someone with a merchant account they might. Never know. In bet someone could make a profit and still sell them cheaply. My big question is how do they comper to the Harbour Freight Cheapies. If similar maybe we all in the US should just go that route and be done with it
