Just a word of caution to those who buy tools etc. from stores like Aldi. Like many, I have bought various machines and tools from their special buys over the years and have generally got good value for the outlay.
One of the purchases was an electric chain saw Model GCS2000S. A really excellent saw, it was a good buy. However, just out of guarantee, I got a bit over enthusiastic with the butt of a large sycamore and stripped a nylon bevel gear inside. My own fault entirely.
The problem is that Aldi don't take any interest once you are out of the guarantee period. On top of that they have changed their source of supply and the old source I'm told is out of business. Their present supplier didn't want to know.
I cannot find a supplier for the part so I am left with an otherwise perfect saw that is useless. What a waste.
Worth bearing in mind if you have any of their tools nearing their guarantee expiry!!!
PS. Anyone out there with a knackered GCS2000S with a serviceable nylon bevel gear?
