Aldi has released an extended range of DIY tools and products in its Specialbuys section yesterday, as consumers flock to discount retailers for homeware goods.

The range features a wide selection of "top-quality and excellent value tools and accessories" to help customers master the art of DIY. Aldi’s Drill N Fix It! range is currently in store but as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Aldi has a choice of protective footwear, including men’s leather Safety Boots (£19.99). This work boot with steel cap heal is perfect for use on site or for larger DIY projects. For smaller projets, try Aldi’s oil repellant Safety Shoes (£18.99), complete with a steel toe cap.  Remember to keep it safe and opt for a high visbility fastening rope for heavy duty tasks with Aldi’s Hi Vis and Multi Purpose Ropes (£3.99).

Some products from the range include Aldi’s 20V LI-ION Cordless Hammer Drill (£49.99), which includes two 1.5Ah capacity batteries for long-lasting use. Aldi’s Drill and Bit Set (£4.99) for drilling into a range of different surfaces including masonry, wood and metal. and a set of Premium Screws (£9.99) which are equipped with an extreme grip thread to reduce torque.

Aldi has also included an essentials range, for customers who are new to home improvement: Aldi’s Double Assortment Box (£16.99), Ratchet & Socket Sets (£9.99), Spanner Set (£5.99), and a 12 Piece Spring Clamp Set (£4.99).  For on-the-go jobs, Aldi has released a practical Tool Backpack (£24.99), complete with carry handles and wheels.
