LIDL are owned by a huge German wholesaler who are already dealing in large quantities, their middle aisle products are bought in huge volumes because they have such a laegr foot print of stores, unlike your average hardware shops where you’d otherwise be buying your drill, hedgehog hotel and speciality Greek produce.
Lidl’s smarthome kit - specifically their lightbulbs - comes around once in a blue moon but is very good quality. Not up to the standard of Phillips, but on a par with IKEA.
It rivals aliexpress/amazon brands in quality, sure, but it still generally isn’t even at the quality of Ryobi, which is a lower-medium tier brand together with Bosch green, much less makita, dewalt, or Bosch blue.
Though for many non-renovating homeowners just needing the occasional drill work, it works just fine!
Lidl, a grocery store, even has a tool brand called parkside. It even rivals other brands in quality nowadays.
I always wondered why parkside was so much cheaper in
aldilidl vs other stores. Pretty decent for casual usage honestly.Specially now that Amazon is flooded with ewaste is my affordable go to brand.

That is the largest overstatement of the year.
