I've been looking for a corded version of these and theyre generally £30 cheapest. cordless are much more expensive so this cordless version from Aldi ticks all the boxes for me and comes in a handy storage box. might not be for everyone but for light general DIY I can't imagine you can go wrong with this. available from the 11th June instore (as they are ooo online now).

I'm not sure you can. Over the years we've went through a few of the thirty quid (ish) multi tools and what ultimately lets them down is the battery starts to go and you can't get a replacement.
About a year ago we got a Makita cordless multi tool which uses their standard fitting batteries - suited me as we've got a Makita drill plus several batteries. Significant difference in power (18v versus 10.8v) and easy to swap over for a fully charged battery. If you've got Makita batteries and charger, the older model is now well under £50:
Not taking anything away from this deal, used this type for years and really no complaints other than the battery issue, and battery life latterly.

How can you order a spare battery?

I thinks its also worth pointing out that the packs of Workzone multi tool blades are pretty good value as well and fit most other makes. Works out around a couple of quid a blade after you discount the obligatory scraper that comes in each pack - and they're better quality than the 20 packs etc from Amazon!

interesting. Wonder if this would be any good to clean out old cement grout from a tiled floor?

Thanks, ordered one. Spare battery would be nice if reasonably priced.

I feel the same way about battery life. The capacity is low, so only good for shorter jobs and you can't seem to get a spare. Good deal for smaller jobs though.
Hot for what it is.

It says suitable with Bosch accessories, so not bad if you can't find the official blades. hot!
