Cheap multi detector test - Parkside Lidl

Cheap multi detector test - Parkside Lidl
Parkside multi detector - is it a tool worth having? You should always play it safe when drilling into walls; decorating itself is a stresful project and the last thing you want is to have a power cable or water pipe repaired afterwards. Even if you plan a little job like hanging a picture or a single shelf it good to check what is hidden in the wall or behing the plasterboard first to avoid costly mess.
If have a habit of ignoring manuals (as I do sometimes and expect everything to just 'work' out of the box) it's worth spending 5 minutes to read a manufacturer instruction to check how to calibrate the tool. I gave that a try and it shoul start working spot on!
Parkside 4-in-1 multi detector is easy to read, easy to hold
It detects wooden beams (STUD), metals (METAL), voids (DEEP) and power lines (AC)

Hi, great video, the instructions included are a bit vague! , but the AC finder works much better if the power is on and powering something, to find the wire to a socket you should plug something in like a lamp or vacuum cleaner and turn it on :-)

[@HIpigoRE1]

The AC finder works under load. Normal. Otherwise it is a simple wire(metal).
Its a nice detector. I had the previous generation and it worked very well for almost a decade or so.
Suddenly a week ago..it made some retirement noices until it stopped for good. :)
But overall it did it's job very well.

Thanks for sharing

[@bigcasey4143]

The A/C test failed for me too.... This is the whole reason why I bought the Parkside 4 in 1 multi detector. I had to borrow a Bosch Truvo one from a friend. Utterly useless... buy cheap, buy twice

[@chestiitari9531]

the explaining of each function(especially AC) is great
Parkside should be paying you for this demo
their manual suck

[@k-nemo]

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a lovely comment

[@DoNaSbaR]

5:08. The AC finder only works under load. This video is the best demonstration/test of this Parkside multi-detector in UA-cam! Good work.

[@tomsacadden]

Two things to note here, it won’t work on plasterboard that has metal foil insulation on the back, also, I wondered why it just wouldn’t register on my living room wall, my wallpaper has metallic flakes running thru it , Doh !!

Thanks for watching.

[@laszlofucs7963]

For the AC measurement you must have an electrical consumer on the cable

[@e_asier]

Thanks for your video from Spain, very nice review!

[@k-nemo]

Thanks for watching!

[@valentynbarmak8909]

Perfect, thank you.

[@k-nemo]

You're welcome!

[@FamilyVideos-pt1mo]

Does not work I made holes to my hole new house , fake

[@williamvonbaskerville3805]

thank you for the video - parkside has to change alot !!! ....... now I know i buy a different one ...

[@k-nemo]

I'm happy I've helped you to make up your mind.

[@PattyRothHaas]

Very helpful thank you very much

[@domagoj5455]

so if I understood AC finding correctly, the wire in this video example is located horizontally and not vertically, and thats why at horizontal line is a check mark displayed, right? I have finder with same options and same work modes but from Einhell, they function same way I think.

[@mircobandini]

Can you tell if it works on masonry walls?

[@bepped6420]

non funziona per la corrente. Ho giá riscontrato lo stesso difetto sul mio e ho avuto conferma su tutti i video che ho visto. ciao

[@k-nemo]

Grazie per l'informazione

[@silviestri]

purtroppo ho riscontrato lo stesso difetto per la corrente 😕.
Sembra rispondere meglio con la corrente dc, ho provato con il cavo di ricarica dello smartphone.
Non so se fare il reso.

[@TedMusti]

Per la corrente non funzionava perché il cavo non era collegato a un'utenza, quindi non è passata una corrente elettrica di una certa intensità. Lo strumento rileva la corrente, non la tensione elettrica.

[@mario20052005]

Useless, even after calibration the studs are not being found.

[@k-nemo]

Are you calibrating correctly? Maybe change at the store.

[@vladimirrusnak2170]

Try to detect the electrical wiring in the panel wall.

[@k-nemo]

Thanks for watching

[@fortissimoX]

Thank you very much for this test!

[@k-nemo]

You are welcome!

[@MrManningata]

I have one but the stud finding mode is totally useless, it doesn't find studs and only beeps when you press it against the wall

[@giuseppemattazzi4311]

Poco sensibile in generale, ma con la corrente elettrica inutile. Cambiato 2 volte ma sempre inefficace. Il basso costo lo definisce comunque alla stregua di un giocattolo. Non all'altezza della maggior parte dei prodotti Parkside.

[@k-nemo]

Grazie per aver guardato e lasciato il commento. Penso che funzioni bene ma non è molto bravo a rilevare cavi in ​​tensione

[@maxalves1457]

O qus significa DEPP?

[@lbl2168]

Thanks

Yes well done in need one

[@k-nemo]

Thanks a lot

[@csopi2881]

Thank you :)

[@k-nemo]

You're welcome!

[@allachi]

عفوا كم ثمن هذا الجهاز

[@k-nemo]

دفعت حوالي عشرة جنيهات بريطانية

[@briansheridan6915]

Good video, do you think they are good.

[@k-nemo]

It's not brilliant at detecting live cables but good at finding other things.
I think it's worth the money I paid for it

[@frasershakes]

Just took one of these home. Not expecting miracles for under a tenner but glad I found this video and confirmed what I was thinking as was away to launch it

[@k-nemo]

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a comment

[@jenkri]

Usefull video as the french translation of the user manuel is just pointless. Thank you for that

[@k-nemo]

Glad it was helpful!
