Aldi Ferrex Mini Cutter 3.6v tool. Whether you are thinking of buying this for your workshop or for crafts then check out my review of this mini cutter. Available from the Aldi specialbuys.
Just for a bit of balance, I've used one of these for over a year, as I cut up corrugated cardboard on a daily basis to use as a packing piece for items I sell on ebay. I have to say that it's been a great time saver, - much quicker and more accurate than scissors. There is also a tungsten carbide shoe that presses against the blade which ensures sharpness. I guess my requirement is pretty specific, but for me, I'd say it's been a great bit of kit.
I have this one AND Lidl cutter which use "micro-scissor-type" blade. And have to say both are similiar in size and weight, and even cutting - but this one is a REALLY WAY quiter tool. And it's count at home. We use it to cut cardboard for starting fire in our fireplace.
Oh dear 🤣🤣🤣 Aldi sell a lot of great tools but unfortunately this isn't one of them. Make sure you subscribe so you see all my latest reviews. Thanks Jimmy
May I make a suggestion Jimmy??? make your next purchase a 4lb club hammer and hit that mini cutter with it as hard as you can. What a laugh I have just had, thank you so much :-)
You don't need to hold the safety switch once the device has activated. It cuts better if you don't force it too much. The safety (don't sue us) switch is easily removed, and much easier to use without it. It just pops out after removing the screws.
Will you make a second video of you cutting up the cable? And then dismantle the body of the cutter and cut through itself? That would be a thorough and good use for it. Sort of like a snake eating its own tail, body and lungs, using its final breath to crush into its skull.
I have one recentely use for cutting crafty bits and peices..haven't been able to change the blade..It says turn blade screw ''anti clock wise''..but cant work out how to stop the whole wheel from turning..can't see anything in the instructions ?Appreciate any advice..Cheers!
No worries, worked it out in the end..found it worked well cutting cardboard and thin plastic..bit of material but has to be held/ tapes or clamped taut..cheers!

I'm glad someone has got a use for it and it has saved you time.
There really is a tool for everyone.
Thanks for watching,

Maybe I should have been a little bit more patient with it 🤔
@@JimmyTheMower IMO it depends of needs. If fit particular and SIMPLE one - is ok - if you plan to use it to few differnent tasks - won't be enough.
Quite an entertaining review mate,maybe you could use it for cutting toenails 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
A top honest review for a piece of rubbish. It even struggled to cut up its own instructions 😂. Entertaining video never the less
Very true and thanks for watching 👍
Hope anyone thinking of buying this watches your video first!
On the entertainment front - top marks. 😂
Me too 👍
I wish I watched this video before I bought this damn thing 😂
Oh dear 🤣🤣🤣

All aldi tools are fisher price toys

🤣🤣🤣
Now that would be an absolute pleasure to do.
Thanks for cheering me up,
Jimmy 👍

Cheers for the advice 👍
Thank You for saving me £15
My absolute pleasure 👍
Did u send it to anyone after . Its now the end of June 2021.

If I hadn't given it away I would have happily done that 🤣🤣🤣👍

I'm sorry but I gave this tool away as soon as the video finished.

where do I get a new blade please
Do you know what ?
I haven't got a clue.
Try phoning the Aldi helpline number and see if they can point you in the right direction
3.6v, just won't cut it (Oh the pun). I tend to avoid the low voltage type tools as they don't seem to have enough grunt.
Yeah, it certainly isn't great. I was sure it would be good for something but unfortunately it was good for nothing 😕
I was humming and arring about buying this, 19.99 in ireland....glad i didnt, great review though as usual
Thanks, and save your money.
You are better off with a pair of scissors ✂️
Thanks for watching,
Jimmy 👍
Great video. Please don’t send it to me though 😬
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching,
Jimmy 👍
"I dont need the instructions", proceeds to cut the manual for it......
Then can't get it to work properly 🤣🤣🤣
You could circumcise rabbits
I don't reckon it could even do that
Great idea for a video.
Lol, looks like a waste of money.
Better off getting some good scissors.ot a Stanley knife
Junk
Absolutely
