(I recently [stupidly] bought a cheapo socket-set from Super-Cheap and discovered that it had no 13, 17 or 19 but instead had a very helpful 16, 18 & 20mm!)

Aldi generally have reasonably good quality stuff at a fair price. It's true that Safeway and Coles supermarkets in the same catchment areas have lower prices, and I believe that major supermarket chains engage in anti-competitive practices. My wife loves Aldi more than me, but I cannot give a good write up on their motorcycle boots. My wife got me a pair, I thought they'd be good to wear in the wet. They were new at the start of summer. I've only worn them about 50 times and they both leak along a stitched seam that runs all the way across the front. I can tell because I felt the cold water getting in while I was riding and my socks were wet 2" each side of the seam line when I stopped. Should I throw them away?
