Both work but the 8Ah I find a bit too heavy for this tool. The 4Ah is fine for me. I have both 4Ah and 8ah batteries and I always go for the 4Ah when it is charged and ready to go. I reaxh for the 8Ah only when the 4Ah ones are not in the picture.

That said you will get a lot more runtime and a bit more power out of the 8Ah.

@@BrokeLifeEU I take note, thanks you !

@charlou9671 You are welcome! 😉

I will get to do something like that soon, but I will also include the new D4 😉

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the B3! I know I love mine!

The adaptors for impact drivers from 1/4“ to 1/2“ are the ones that break. As for an adaptor for an impact wrench 1/2“ in to a 1/4“ I have never had any issues with any of them so whichever one you get I think you will be fine. Ideally one from Milwaukee, DeWalt or Makita.

They are indeed. What sort of jobs would you want a laser welder for if you don't mind me asking?

@@BrokeLifeEU For cylinders and metal jobs. But mainly on crankshafts on agricultural machines, They are solid steel. And due to angle and rpm of the engine they can twist like a paper ( which is they are solid tri-angle STEEL) it becomes nearly impossible to remove after that. We cutting it and welding it. But it takes a lots of time. And sometimes owner of the machines forgets to grease the joints of the cranshaft so metal becomes one with the hole. Heating , removing the rust etc...

My point exactly. No need to pay €300 for a Milwaukee if you use the tool for small projects once in a blue moon. On top of that the Parkside Performance range is really not bad at all. They have made some mistakes and the quality is sometimes questionable, however at that price you can‘t expect to have it all. I use my Parkside stuff often about once or twice a week I need to get something done and I am pleased with the performance. I started this channel, because I wanted to show this sort of stuff from the point of a strict DIY-er. I don‘t use any of these tools in my work but for my personal needs they are good enough.

Sorry about that 🫣

Not really a UK thing it seems, although quite popular in other countries. Should be available in the UK too as for they price they are really decent!

I have already returned the drill from this video to its owner but I will see if I can arrange something! 😉

B3 is great! How long have you had it?

Yes, at that price it looks like you pay for a battery & charger and get a free grinder 😅

Thank you! I think so as well, as long as you don‘t ask too much of it for too long. However the lack of grease in these bothers me…

I am working on making that video 😉

It is the basic type of blade, nothing specific to Parkside. All proprietary blades fit.

Can‘t put well thought out and Parkside in the same sentance I am afraid 🫣 I bet you they find a place to stick membrane buttons on.

@BrokeLifeEU many of their products are well thought out, though maybe not originally by them, but with well executed designs. I suppose those designs had to undergo several generations of iterative improvements though, so there's that to suffer.

You do make a good point there!

€33 is that with a battery and charger 😲

Yep a 4 amp battery and a 4,5 amp charger

No matter how bad the grinder is at €33 can‘t pass that offer up!

Give me a couple of days and I will let you know! That is my plan, some high temerature bering grease and we‘ll see what happens. But the grease that Parkside put in there is just a joke, no more than 5ml at best… I will remove all the original Parkside grease beforehand. It might be alright, but I just don‘t like mixing grease, oil, antifreeze etc. I either add the same or just replace it altogether.

​@@BrokeLifeEU sound advice thanks!

@@Failsafeman100 It is not much but I will let you know how it goes after I fill mine up with some grease.

The Performance stuff with Parkside has an Achilles heel though, the control boards for the brushless motors fail. That said that does not happen often, however I get the feeling it happens more often with the newer ones. A cordless angle grinder is a tricky tool to get right and Parkside are trying their best to get it wrong in all possible sorts of ways. But I just got this combo kit, because I need something for a bit of work with a flap disc so I hope it lasts, but even if not at the Black Friday price it is essentially a free grinder for the price of a battery and charger so that's nice. But I hope that one of these days they release a Performance angle grinder with normal buttons...

Thank you! Yes, the membrane stuff is making me question my sanity!

They could have just used a better switch 🤔 but the membrane stuff is also eqsier and cheaper to manufacture I think. Or at least make the membrane buttons larger. I don‘t have cocktail sticks for fingers! The big chunky 230mm boy has a nice type of switch on it. I don‘t need one but I am considering it at €60 😁 and with the 12Ah batteries that I will need to test on something…

Thank you! Might not sound like much but apparently the obligatory comment pleases the algorithm 😁 the sparks cost me my case and protector but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make at the time. 😁 but at least next time there is a chance they won‘t ask to borrow it! Parkside, helping you not put your tools in the hands of others! Parkside, a brand that cares! 😁

The charger is complete garbage, the battery is of low quality however they both can get the job done. The body itself though is surprising and with a decent battery there are some performance gains there to be had. I bought just the bare tool last night for like €10 which I could not believe 😂

The best 💯

Thank you so much! You are too kind! 😌

To be completely fair, many name brands also produce their tools there.

@BrokeLifeEU Yes, but that's the main difference between a European company or a Chinese one. iPhones are also made in China, but Xiaomi is Xiaomi.

@@y_ra83 Fair! Can‘t argue with that!

Can confirm that Parkside cutting discs are some of the worst I have ever used. I love the Bosch ones, unfortunately the only two identical ones I had were these Total ones. As for the grinding discs Parkside ones are fine for that.

I used the green with dewalt ceramic 1,1 mm disc, absolute pleasure for cutting angle iron and disc wear is very low. If pressing it will stop anyway but the disc make a lot of difference.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 YOU WILL NOT GET A COMMENT FROM ME!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

100% Parkside limited edition Broke Life pyjamas 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely! I deeply hate the membranes! 😢

Γειά σου! Τι κάνετε;

Google translate. Δεν μιλάω ελληνικά δυστυχώς. Ελπίζω η μετάφραση να μην είναι πολύ κακή.

I bought a green C3 with defective brushes, that was an easy fix. Used if for some time and at that point both the brushes and motor failed COMPLETELY! I got the F4. Failed in exactly the same way. I get the feeling this will be the same, although I will be a lot more careful third time around. I have to look at Raider, I have never had one of their tools, are they any good apart from the grinder you have?
