Bought mine yesterday with a spare battery as my cordless drill charger seems to take the 20v battery, its weird, the 20v battery fits into my cordless drill and works superbly but the cordless drill's 16v battery won't fit the impact driver. Surprised it didn't do the wheel nuts, tested it on my one's old hoary wheel nuts and they came off amid a puff of rust pretty quickly, you can really feel the anvils banging away in there too :) They had sold out of the grinders which no doubt were bought up by packs of feral moped robber gangs out there but I bought a nice strong set of hole saws plus the discs/wire wheel for my ancient corded grinder and will wait for them to stock in the grinders next time round.
As you may noticed the battery is bigger on the photo of the angle grinder, as normally it comes with 4ah battery unlike the impact driver which comes with a 2ah you have there. There is a reason for that. If you plan to use the angle grinder extensively look for a 4ah battery. Also the impact actually CAN unbolt wheelnuts, just use a proper adapter that does not flex, and impact sockets. Also check the angle grinder bevel gear as most of ours here came with very little to no grease on those gears and without grease it can wear out very quickly.
I've got quite a bit of the Parkside range, and for the price I doubt you can beat them. As an occasional user I don't really want to pay big money for power tools that I wont use every day.
I have the exact same impact driver, and I use it to remove wheels without any problem, Except when they have been tighten by some guy who thinks you have to put 250NM on a lug nut . Also, for that use, you need an impact socket and an impact 1/4 to 1/2 adapter, It really makes a lot of difference !
Home gamer on a budget tear down. £30 in a grinder, 20% is tax a couple of % profit to lidl, a few % to cover the warranty, shipped from china, probably only a tenner to make, I fear how bad the electronicals would be in that.
To be fair, aside from the motor, it isn't normally the electronics that are the problem. It's normally the construction that suffers. The electronics in even the best power tools today (including Dewalt and Malwaukee's bluetooth system and apps) is old and cheap technology.
some are, but the circular saw cetainly feels like it's a toy instead of a tool, but the sawz-all is down right impressive, got that since yesterday...
I had a older type cordless dril 10,8V l for 4 years(till i bought a other one,a stronger one),but the one i had is still going strong. The tools are realy not bad at all.
I brought a cordless multi tool last year that stopped working. It was still under the guarantee so I contacted the maker's. They were so understanding and sent me a replacement unit.......so a great service.
I own few of the parkside tools and I'm really happy with them. A little cordless screwdriver with bits and flashlight it's been sitting in my car for 4 years now and i've done alot of things with it. Really handy for taking apart dashboards and other small things that don't need much power. The 20v drill is also pretty good in my opinion, but the impact driver is a hit and miss the torque figure isn't nowhere near the advertised although maybe it will be closer with a 4ah battery, but still wonderful for asembling furniture.
Yah Parkside tools are really good, have been using them for over 10 years now, Circular Saw cordless, Air Compressor, bench Sander, Router, all types, really well made for the Money
I love this video! No unboximg crap. Straight to the point video that explains whats needed. 11/10 for that 👍🏼 fantastic tools i have some theyre alright but great for the price too. Waiting to but the compressor
Yeah here too great for paint spraying but at 50ltr tank its too weak for any air tools would need at least a 100ltr tank and as of yet there is not one
you may find the angle grinder will spin a tiny bit faster at top end & also not stall out as fast under load if you use a 4Ah battery on it ( it may even state on the box/instructions that a 4Ah battery is recommended for it as its a high draw item - same goes for tools they sell like the circular saw & such too ) yes they will work on the 2Ah battery but your not getting the best out of the tool & alot of folks who have underwhelming experiences with these tools will most likely have been using just a 2Ah battery as its so much cheaper ( and sadly its the only battery you can get with a charger bundled in - if you go straight for the 4Ah battery you have to buy a seperate charger too unless you already have a charger already
I have a parkside cordless impact wrench really good quality has some good weight to it and work’s really well It is also the same as the storm force so makes me think they are made by the same company It’s done everything I have asked it to do nice tools and great quality
I just found out Aldi do two ranges of power tools. Standard range and Titanium+ range. Just got 2 hammer drills, 2 impact drivers, 4 2v batteries and 2 fast one hour fast chargers and 2 carry cases, all 18v from the titanium+ range. All for £160 with a 3 year warranty. Brilliant... Who knew..... Thanks for the video.
@@glossypots I can’t fault Parkside tools either. Once you look after them they won’t let you down , also well built so for the prices you can’t go wrong !!
I have one of their parkside soldering stations and its absolutely perfect for the low usage of a hobbyist like me. Their powerfix range hand tools are good too, I have a pop rivet gun and precision screwdriver set thats never done me wrong. Also picked up a rotatable bench vice for £20. Bargain.
It’s worth informing people that you should use sockets rated for impact use as they can shatter. Also abrasive wheels have an rpm rating and shouldn’t be used on a grinder with a higher rpm.
I like this range of tools, have been picking them up over the last year and I have most of them now. They are all reasonable quality, and sharing the batteries is a good thing. If you do wear them out, they will be back in store in a year's time, but you have to catch them in the few days they are in stock. The impact driver isn't meant for automotive tasks, it is fine for driving screws. I found that out when I bought one last year. For cars and bikes, you really need an air or mains powered impact driver, and the proper impact sockets. Nice review, good to see the tools being tested out.
That grinder looks like an einhell one I bought from toolstation for £100 and it was absolute shite, kept cutting out trying to cut an exhaust so I took it back. Ended up buying an brushless makita one and drill for £90 and it's absolutely fantastic and it only cuts out when the battery is really low and you're still asking a lot of it
martyfriedman666 this one is naked for £30, the einhell one (which is £85 now) came with everything in the box with a bigger battery, it was also the closest thing and cheapest when I needed it there and then. The plan was buy it, use it, take it back but when I got it out I thought it feels pretty good, if it's good I'll keep it but then I used it and it was deffo going back after the performance. Which is when I got my brushless makita which was not even 6 month old and makita drill together for £90. Only cut out once with a full charge 'cause the ape using it just abuses tools and cuts out when it's really low and not got enough power.
I have many various Lidl products in my home from lighting to tools and I find they are pretty good. Not sure how their tools would perform in a commercial environment but they are certainly great for home/DIY use. Maybe someone should put some Lidl tools to the test in a commercial envionment.
years ago i was using a lidl angle grinder(not mine i can''t stand lidl and aldi tools ) and the armature caught fire and shorted the whole house.I use makita,dewalt bosch etc.I don't think these will be last for long i have a vintage black and decker drill from the 1940s still works on daily basis.
For those heavier jobs or longer battery life I definitely recommend the 20v 4amp battery 🔋. Ok their £24 but still a cheaper price than similar high end DIY tool replacements.
I actually bought the same kit and I done some research on these bad boys. I surprisingly found out that these are made by Bosch for Lidl. Also that the angle grinder originally came with a 4ah battery instead of the 2ah that you and I bought with the charger. (I bought the charger with one and 3 spare batteries so 4 in total for the two machine) the whole thing cost me under £100. It would be an awesome test to check out the performance with the 4ah battery compare to the 2ah. It certainly last longer and I think because it takes the strain better probably would be more powerful in the impact gun. Also in regards of the wheel nuts I tried it on my car with the same result, but to be fair my wheels has been put on by a pneumatic impact gun that is capable for 400Nm that in many occasion is needless. My factory torque on the wheelnuts is a 140Nm (Skoda Superb). This is capable for 180Nm, that should be more than enough (if tyre shops wouldn't over torque them, last time resulting for me a horrible night when I had a puncture and my locking wheelnut didn't want to come off as they stripped the key as well doing it up.)
Kompernass dot com has spare batteries in 2 and 3 Ah ratings and a 3.5A charger for the 3Ah battery as well as the 2.4A charger. Thanks for pointing out the extended battery, I wouldn't have realised, otherwise.
Aldi have just started a new ferrex 20/40v range £20 for drill and grinder charger 15 battery 30 or 15 looks good but the comments are disabled when you look them up on UA-cam that puts me off. There tools look good but the 20/40 volt batterys like the dewalt 18/36v look poor so I'll stick with my ryobi and Parkside
No need to tighten the retaining nut on the grinder so tight... it will tighten itself when it spins, hand tight and then a tug of the disc in tightening direction and your set, otherwise when you loose your tool your in a pickle
Ivan124 hate cutting discs they are so dangerous, also use a guard dont know how people dont because when they go... as you say. Your picking bits out of your face haha
Yes that's very true i was scared of angle grinder so much after i saw my uncles hand hanging by the tread, i just recently started using one because you cant beat its cutting power, but i do take all safety procuration, only tool that scares me.
Ivan124 aslong as you have the guard on the grinder and keep you limbs and face out of the way of the disc if it breaks all its going to do is scare you its safe aslong as its used properly but they are very scary the only tool i use and am wary about using it properly
I shop at Lidl for food and the occasional middle isle stuff but over the years have been disappointed with their tools. I recently bought a vacuum cleaner in a hurry and put it in the skip today, the motor made a noise and started to burn. I have also bought tools from Aldi and they’ve been fine. Generally they’re cheap products and as such have a short life, “for occasional use only”
I like that the grinder comes with a type 1 guard. Is there also a regular guard included? Also, how much run time do you get out of a battery (grinder) and how much juice is in the batteries? This would be great for throwing in a go bag, but I would normally do 30-40 min of grinding. More than 2 batteries would make my bag heavier than carrying a corded grinder. FInally, There is hardly ever a need to use those grinder wrenches. Just hand tighten the disk and it will usually come loose the same way. Oh... diamond metal cutting disks are awesome, way safer than the fiber disks.
If you have the older 125mm Lidl corded angle grinder, don't use the Lidl wire brush (as shown here). The brushes are a bit out of balance and get worse as you use them. I used mine to remove paint from masonry and it broke the aluminium "gearbox" where two of the mounting screws go through it.
Yeah, we have the very same PARKSIDE powertools for sale (on their temporary sales) in LIDL here in Portugal as well. So this was a very good help. Thank you for this video.
the grinder and sawzall are 39€ in Belgium and Germany they had a different model grinder last year, without variable speed control . they're decent but not very "torquey" also at full power they use up the battery quite fast... I got one to grind and one with a wire wheel
If you wait for an Amazon deal, you can get a Bosch hammer drill with charger and 2 batteries for 49 bucks. And there are no 20 Volt devices/batteries. They are 18V like everyone else's.
They look like brilliant pieces of kit, I'v a Bosch professional cordless and corded grinder and the cordless grinder spins at a much slower rpm compared to the corded version so it's not uncommon, the battery charge will last a lot longer in the impact gun though than it will in the grinder, you need at least 5Ah batteries in the cordless grinders to get a decant run time out of them
I got a lot of parkside tools very happy with them most of them coming up to the five year mark an still working well recently got air commpresor 50ltr great for spray painting but does struggle with the air tools
Great vid have had all the top makes over the last 30 odd years most only give you 12 month guarantee and on the corded tools come with short leads, l find Parkside tools very good value for money and reliability.
love the grinder its like the old school type with the quick release guard and good spanner wrenh storage used to zip tie them to cable so not to lose it good vlog
Got a dewalt impact that does wheel nuts. But that was £80 for a bare unit. Got an old parkside skill saw I have had for about 8 years been abused and still going.
Parkside has actually surprised me being better than expected. I love shopping for tools at Lidl. The only one I have returned was the drill press. That was not very good. The column was very thin and flexed and the electric box failed almost immediately. But Lidl was nice and just refunded me without discussion.
I don’t know what the exchange rates is from “quid” to USD, but a lidl just opened up near bye; and if I see an impact driver for $20 I’m buying it. I’ve got plenty of dewalt 20v and 18v impacts for actual work; this would be for humor.
I have a lot of lidl powerfix tools they are really great because im a in depth home bike mechanic and thire tools are great for me but I don't think I will be buying lidl park side not because they are bad but have the dewalt xr brushless motor kit and can be used with other dewalt tools but I wished I Bourght these instead of my dewalt they are much cheaper and like dewalt battery's are compatable with other tools but love dewalt and they are my favorite but don't be thinking im calling lidl tools crap because they are brilliant quility for the price of them
I bought some parkside air tools a while ago, an air wrench and air impact driver, (designed for taking off wheel nuts), and they work just fine 4 years later. The air impact driver needs a tap every now and then to get it spinning but otherwise it's a great little tool. Lidl do some cracking deals on tools.
Needs to learn the difference between Philips and Pozidriv bits and their relative screws... Not really interchangeable unless you like damaging the screw drive heads and wearing out your bits quickly. The drive faces are orientated differently so if used in the wrong fixing they try to 'climb out' mullering the heads, like can be seen in this vid. Then one tries to push the bit in even harder to keep it engaged. Identify, and use the correct configuration of bit and also the right size - #1,2&3 are in frequent use in both types but don't cross match properly. But, if people want to remain ignorant like 95% odd of the population, just carry on obliviously... Learn the difference and see how much better and more easily fixings are to drive, and how much longer the driver or bits last!
I get so pissed of when people just don't see the difference, I cringe when hear them grind down a screw head. Maybe thery should get a name, like dyscalculia or colour blindness. Dysbitsia? Bit type blindness? Retardation of the brain?
I'm so sorry for that screw... I really wonder why so many people never ask themselves why some screws have those 45° rotated markings (pozidriv) and other have not (mostly philips). But even then, a lot of ppl take way to small sizes because they decide the size of the head/bit has got to relate to the "screw" size and not on the actual head size (size 1 screws are usually pretty small ones)...
That impact driver is alright for 1/4 inch socketeering, and lil screws in cars and stuff, those baby impact drivers won't be any good for anything over 13 mm probably, maybe 15milly at a push, you need to move up to half inch for anything major really. I say that as I use a DeWalt one for that kinda stuff and I can't see parkside being just quite as good, HOWEVER. the price is just too good to ignore and I'm sure they're great value for money, I do have a parkside screwdriver bit set and I use those on the DeWalt, haven't snapped one yet! Thanks for this review mate, I might buy one tomorrow as a backup while they're on at the moment
Kl vid.bought myself a die grinder, not used it yet but interesting to see how their other tools fair up. I know you get what you pay for bit they dont seem half bad!
Defo get a few battery’s they are cheap battery’s -don’t leave them rundown flat in the winter - you may find they refuse to charge due to dropping below voltage, I’ve had this problem a good few times in dewalt / Makita
I've just bought the impact driver, charger + bat and another spare bat as well. Good value, debating whether to buy the sabre saw and angle grinder as well although think I'll pass for now. Over in mainland Europe they have more options in this 20v range inc a 400nm impact wrench. Not sure if that will come to the UK. Lots of videos on yt demoing this range.
you will find the 400nm 20v impact wrench is over here in the UK too and is so fairly often - dont look for it in the DIY events though, its mostly seen in the car care events :) - good tool when they do it & dispenses with wheennuts without a problem ( on rather tight nuts though you do have to be careful to use suitable sockets though as the prolongued impacting can really heat up the socket. but you are indeed correct, the europeans do get the better gear in the Professional range of LIDL powertools ( in the uk to my knowledge so far we have only had the Hammer Drill & SDS Drill from this range & both are great bits of kit ) but i look forward to the day when we get the Impact Driver ( as in this vid from the standard range but with a brushless motor & an extra 40nm of grunt ( upto 220nm ) & the impact Wrench with brushless motor as that thing is a beast with over 1300nm of grunt if memory serves
@@martinmorton6276 Having posted this 3 years ago I do now have the standard impact wrench since they started selling it and it's indeed very handy. It does look like they have expanded the range quite a bit although the mainland Europeans still seem to get everything first and often on permanent sale via the Lidl websites that they seem to have no intention of bringing over here 🙁 .. the website that is.
Lidl has some of the shittiest tools I have ever used be4. I had a soldering station and the tip wore off in like 2 hours of soldering it just disappeared. I also had a regular grinder and out of the box the bearing was bad and it was rattling like crazy. Now my dad uses it cause he always pushes tools like crazy so I dont care if he destroys it. It also needed a lubrication. The battery for my neigbours wireless cutter died in like 1 month. I had the cutting discs and when one cracked and the other blew up whilst I was cutting. The others wore 6 times as fast on sheet metal (notorius for destroying discs) than a more expencive disc. Their sander is pretty bad too it makes your hand itch like crazy cause all the vibrations transfer directly to your hand. I am never buying a single Lidl tool ever.
Yeah, cheap cutting discs really suck. If you have the comparison to good ones you never use such crap again. The cheap tools may work for DIY, but the batteries are quite small compared to brand tool batteries. The machines are not brushless, they consume more energy than brand tools with brushless motors and the batteries have long charging times, while brand tool batteries have short ones despite more battery capacity.
Ive got a few of their tools and Aldi's too. As you say, they are a great price and perfect for a DIYer. I do have both of these tools shown here and I did try the Impact driver on a wheel rim too and again it didnt like it too much. But,the angle grinder works far better with the bigger 4 Ah battery as would other cordless (20v range) tools from Lidl. Nice vid, as well as your others I watched today. Subbed
Seems good u can check for drill bit chunk small I've saw 20$ brass one that fit same drill in so its small max 5-7 mm maybe but fine for that little one u can check it out I might give u link in couple days
i have a cordless screwdriver done it 20 times then it was dead. Production fault maybe,need to send it to lidl service still. for me it was just a backup machine,i have an Hitachi with 84Nm works after 3 years still fine after abusing it alot. But for the money ill think your good with lidl stuff ;)
That's all similar stuff, if you buy this machines directly in China from the usual back yard factories in bigger numbers you could also order ones with your name on it.
@flip inheck cheap Budget tools made in Germany - this would be nice ;-) If you want a tool really made in Germany, you can buy something from Fein, but not from Lidl. Even cordless Bosch tools are mostly made in countries in Asia, and Hilti produces their batteries also in China.
This is hilarious. I found this channel a year ago because of your video "lidl sells airtools now?" Their air compressor was on sale in my country and I was searching for a review. Too bad these tools are not for sale at all at the moment. Lidl was selling them last month. I find it funny that lidl sponsors you for their DIY tools. I like that you are honest though. The tools are fine. And that's all. Their are ok for what are advertised. You are missing the best tool out of their collection though. Pretty sad you did not get the small screwdriver. It is my favourite. I am no hater I have most of the tools you are showing and I have used all of the shown. Good video. I like it ;)
zXLuke4efcXz, maybe I watch too many USA DIY channels. But if they show ANY tool without mentioning 15 times that they are not sponsored then the company payed for the "review". Or send it for free in the mail. I guess Lidl just gave him the tools. If he had bought them with his own money, boy how funny it is :D Free add for LIDL :)This particular video is a strait up payed add and I can bet 5E on that.
Yes you watch too many American UA-camrs. Just because he didn't state that he wasn't sponsored by Lidl, it doesn't automatically mean that they gave him the tools. He even said at the start of the video (0:58) that he bought the battery etc.If a UA-camr is sponsored, you should find the details of the sponsorship in the description. You can get in some shit with UA-cam if you fail to disclose.
Your wheel nuts shouldn't be so tight. You must be able to undo them by steping hard on the tyre iron which comes with your car so you can put the spare wheel in an emergency situation.
Variable speed good for a polishing wheel too .

Xaxaxa, nice one. He change it last year. And the blinker fluid. NEVER FORGET THE BLINKER FLUID!
I agree Parkside and Lidl are great value
Thank you! I just went and bought the impact driver. Had to drive about 14 miles out as the Lidl in my town was sold out! Great video keep it up!
It’s worth informing people that you should use sockets rated for impact use as they can shatter. Also abrasive wheels have an rpm rating and shouldn’t be used on a grinder with a higher rpm.

I have many various Lidl products in my home from lighting to tools and I find they are pretty good. Not sure how their tools would perform in a commercial environment but they are certainly great for home/DIY use. Maybe someone should put some Lidl tools to the test in a commercial envionment.
years ago i was using a lidl angle grinder(not mine i can''t stand lidl and aldi tools ) and the armature caught fire and shorted the whole house.I use makita,dewalt bosch etc.I don't think these will be last for long i have a vintage black and decker drill from the 1940s still works on daily basis.
vintage tools are the best brand doesnt matter if they are from the forties ;)
Nice purchase....a little tip.... Get a wifi extender for your shed.... To pull signal from your house :)
First negative point, the impact driver adapters that are supplied aren't impact rated....
Wait wait wait wait wait wai wai wai wae waaaa wait... 2:06 those magnetic bit holders are fucking genius!
For those heavier jobs or longer battery life I definitely recommend the 20v 4amp battery 🔋. Ok their £24 but still a cheaper price than similar high end DIY tool replacements.
I have the jigsaw from Lidl and works very well. I have a few tools from them all proform well
We bought one and the customer assistant said that they were made by a rather well know company and rebranded for them, but I’m not 100% sure.
I actually bought the same kit and I done some research on these bad boys. I surprisingly found out that these are made by Bosch for Lidl. Also that the angle grinder originally came with a 4ah battery instead of the 2ah that you and I bought with the charger. (I bought the charger with one and 3 spare batteries so 4 in total for the two machine) the whole thing cost me under £100.
It would be an awesome test to check out the performance with the 4ah battery compare to the 2ah. It certainly last longer and I think because it takes the strain better probably would be more powerful in the impact gun.
Also in regards of the wheel nuts I tried it on my car with the same result, but to be fair my wheels has been put on by a pneumatic impact gun that is capable for 400Nm that in many occasion is needless. My factory torque on the wheelnuts is a 140Nm (Skoda Superb). This is capable for 180Nm, that should be more than enough (if tyre shops wouldn't over torque them, last time resulting for me a horrible night when I had a puncture and my locking wheelnut didn't want to come off as they stripped the key as well doing it up.)
Kompernass dot com has spare batteries in 2 and 3 Ah ratings and a 3.5A charger for the 3Ah battery as well as the 2.4A charger. Thanks for pointing out the extended battery, I wouldn't have realised, otherwise.
Aldi have just started a new ferrex 20/40v range £20 for drill and grinder charger 15 battery 30 or 15 looks good but the comments are disabled when you look them up on UA-cam that puts me off. There tools look good but the 20/40 volt batterys like the dewalt 18/36v look poor so I'll stick with my ryobi and Parkside
No need to tighten the retaining nut on the grinder so tight... it will tighten itself when it spins, hand tight and then a tug of the disc in tightening direction and your set, otherwise when you loose your tool your in a pickle
And since is so thin you can crush it and at 11k rpms not fun to pull out of your body lol
Ivan124 hate cutting discs they are so dangerous, also use a guard dont know how people dont because when they go... as you say. Your picking bits out of your face haha
Yes that's very true i was scared of angle grinder so much after i saw my uncles hand hanging by the tread, i just recently started using one because you cant beat its cutting power, but i do take all safety procuration, only tool that scares me.
Ivan124 aslong as you have the guard on the grinder and keep you limbs and face out of the way of the disc if it breaks all its going to do is scare you its safe aslong as its used properly but they are very scary the only tool i use and am wary about using it properly
The park side grinder is shite cuts out constantly
The problem with the impact screwdriver is you are going from small extention to big socket, so you have a lot of powerloss.
Great video. The Parkside tools are amazing value.
I shop at Lidl for food and the occasional middle isle stuff but over the years have been disappointed with their tools. I recently bought a vacuum cleaner in a hurry and put it in the skip today, the motor made a noise and started to burn. I have also bought tools from Aldi and they’ve been fine. Generally they’re cheap products and as such have a short life, “for occasional use only”
I like that the grinder comes with a type 1 guard. Is there also a regular guard included? Also, how much run time do you get out of a battery (grinder) and how much juice is in the batteries? This would be great for throwing in a go bag, but I would normally do 30-40 min of grinding. More than 2 batteries would make my bag heavier than carrying a corded grinder. FInally, There is hardly ever a need to use those grinder wrenches. Just hand tighten the disk and it will usually come loose the same way. Oh... diamond metal cutting disks are awesome, way safer than the fiber disks.
I agree IV the impact use the half inch Milwaukee adaptor and it eat lug nuts off
If you have the older 125mm Lidl corded angle grinder, don't use the Lidl wire brush (as shown here). The brushes are a bit out of balance and get worse as you use them. I used mine to remove paint from masonry and it broke the aluminium "gearbox" where two of the mounting screws go through it.
Yeah, we have the very same PARKSIDE powertools for sale (on their temporary sales) in LIDL here in Portugal as well.
So this was a very good help. Thank you for this video.
just checked the prices and you Brits are getting an extra sweet deal, on average the tools are about 6£ cheaper than in Belgium...
Really? That makes a change. Rip off Britain usually.
the grinder and sawzall are 39€ in Belgium and Germany they had a different model grinder last year, without variable speed control . they're decent but not very "torquey" also at full power they use up the battery quite fast... I got one to grind and one with a wire wheel
Come to Croatia and you will flip out from how the prices are high here. Lol.
must be some tariffs or something, howmuch VAT do you guys have to pay?
Our taxes are 25% on everything...
I have almost all, great tools.
If something costs you 100 pound how much VAT and any other taxes.
In England the vat and taxes are included in the displayed price, not like the American's with there hidden costs until you arrive at the till
The Parkside brand looks amazing! The detail is awsome. I dont think anybody except Craftsman v20 is close.
Definitely going to buying on this Sunday🙋🏻♂️
And buying really good stuff so this price 🙂🙋🏻♂️
If you wait for an Amazon deal, you can get a Bosch hammer drill with charger and 2 batteries for 49 bucks. And there are no 20 Volt devices/batteries. They are 18V like everyone else's.
That grinder is a bike thiefs dream.
They look like brilliant pieces of kit, I'v a Bosch professional cordless and corded grinder and the cordless grinder spins at a much slower rpm compared to the corded version so it's not uncommon, the battery charge will last a lot longer in the impact gun though than it will in the grinder, you need at least 5Ah batteries in the cordless grinders to get a decant run time out of them
I find that impact sockets have a higher loosening and tightening effect than standard sockets
I got a lot of parkside tools very happy with them most of them coming up to the five year mark an still working well recently got air commpresor 50ltr great for spray painting but does struggle with the air tools
Great vid have had all the top makes over the last 30 odd years most only give you 12 month guarantee and on the corded tools come with short leads, l find Parkside tools very good value for money and reliability.
Those Parkside stuff are quite nice. I use them too. No problems.
love the grinder its like the old school type with the quick release guard and good spanner wrenh storage used to zip tie them to cable so not to lose it good vlog
seems like the guard lock lever would get in the way when the diameter of the cutting wheel gets small. i like to use the wheel to the last bit.
Got a dewalt impact that does wheel nuts. But that was £80 for a bare unit. Got an old parkside skill saw I have had for about 8 years been abused and still going.
Parkside has actually surprised me being better than expected. I love shopping for tools at Lidl. The only one I have returned was the drill press. That was not very good. The column was very thin and flexed and the electric box failed almost immediately. But Lidl was nice and just refunded me without discussion.
I don’t know what the exchange rates is from “quid” to USD, but a lidl just opened up near bye; and if I see an impact driver for $20 I’m buying it. I’ve got plenty of dewalt 20v and 18v impacts for actual work; this would be for humor.
I have a lot of lidl powerfix tools they are really great because im a in depth home bike mechanic and thire tools are great for me but I don't think I will be buying lidl park side not because they are bad but have the dewalt xr brushless motor kit and can be used with other dewalt tools but I wished I Bourght these instead of my dewalt they are much cheaper and like dewalt battery's are compatable with other tools but love dewalt and they are my favorite but don't be thinking im calling lidl tools crap because they are brilliant quility for the price of them
Are you still using these now , if so how are they
I bought some parkside air tools a while ago, an air wrench and air impact driver, (designed for taking off wheel nuts), and they work just fine 4 years later. The air impact driver needs a tap every now and then to get it spinning but otherwise it's a great little tool. Lidl do some cracking deals on tools.
Needs to learn the difference between Philips and Pozidriv bits and their relative screws...
Not really interchangeable unless you like damaging the screw drive heads and wearing out your bits quickly. The drive faces are orientated differently so if used in the wrong fixing they try to 'climb out' mullering the heads, like can be seen in this vid. Then one tries to push the bit in even harder to keep it engaged. Identify, and use the correct configuration of bit and also the right size - #1,2&3 are in frequent use in both types but don't cross match properly.
But, if people want to remain ignorant like 95% odd of the population, just carry on obliviously... Learn the difference and see how much better and more easily fixings are to drive, and how much longer the driver or bits last!
spannerasaspoon ur right. And/or use torx
I get so pissed of when people just don't see the difference, I cringe when hear them grind down a screw head.
Maybe thery should get a name, like dyscalculia or colour blindness. Dysbitsia? Bit type blindness? Retardation of the brain?
I'm so sorry for that screw...
I really wonder why so many people never ask themselves why some screws have those 45° rotated markings (pozidriv) and other have not (mostly philips). But even then, a lot of ppl take way to small sizes because they decide the size of the head/bit has got to relate to the "screw" size and not on the actual head size (size 1 screws are usually pretty small ones)...
I work at Lidl and this time 5 months ago, all of the tools had batteries as standard.
I have a lot of their tools. Most are decent enough. The impact lost a bit of torque after a few uses but for the price I guess I can't complain lol
That impact driver is alright for 1/4 inch socketeering, and lil screws in cars and stuff, those baby impact drivers won't be any good for anything over 13 mm probably, maybe 15milly at a push, you need to move up to half inch for anything major really. I say that as I use a DeWalt one for that kinda stuff and I can't see parkside being just quite as good, HOWEVER. the price is just too good to ignore and I'm sure they're great value for money, I do have a parkside screwdriver bit set and I use those on the DeWalt, haven't snapped one yet!
Thanks for this review mate, I might buy one tomorrow as a backup while they're on at the moment
Kl vid.bought myself a die grinder, not used it yet but interesting to see how their other tools fair up. I know you get what you pay for bit they dont seem half bad!
Really glad I watched this. Now I will start looking out for more of there tools. Im a weekend diy'er.
Defo get a few battery’s they are cheap battery’s -don’t leave them rundown flat in the winter - you may find they refuse to charge due to dropping below voltage, I’ve had this problem a good few times in dewalt / Makita
How did i end up watching this ? I don't even shop at Lidl let alone buy tools there XD
I suggest you to buy some high quality cutting disk they will simplify your work a lot
Nice video quality
ye well torqued down on the rocker cover lol are the tools still working ??
I've just bought the impact driver, charger + bat and another spare bat as well. Good value, debating whether to buy the sabre saw and angle grinder as well although think I'll pass for now. Over in mainland Europe they have more options in this 20v range inc a 400nm impact wrench. Not sure if that will come to the UK. Lots of videos on yt demoing this range.
you will find the 400nm 20v impact wrench is over here in the UK too and is so fairly often - dont look for it in the DIY events though, its mostly seen in the car care events :) - good tool when they do it & dispenses with wheennuts without a problem ( on rather tight nuts though you do have to be careful to use suitable sockets though as the prolongued impacting can really heat up the socket.
but you are indeed correct, the europeans do get the better gear in the Professional range of LIDL powertools ( in the uk to my knowledge so far we have only had the Hammer Drill & SDS Drill from this range & both are great bits of kit ) but i look forward to the day when we get the Impact Driver ( as in this vid from the standard range but with a brushless motor & an extra 40nm of grunt ( upto 220nm ) & the impact Wrench with brushless motor as that thing is a beast with over 1300nm of grunt if memory serves
@@martinmorton6276 Having posted this 3 years ago I do now have the standard impact wrench since they started selling it and it's indeed very handy. It does look like they have expanded the range quite a bit although the mainland Europeans still seem to get everything first and often on permanent sale via the Lidl websites that they seem to have no intention of bringing over here 🙁 .. the website that is.
The grinder really needs the 4ah battery.
Does the charging dock have wall mounting holes ?
brendan mark, no it doesn't but in theory you could take it apart and make some or attach a bracket.
Lidl has some of the shittiest tools I have ever used be4. I had a soldering station and the tip wore off in like 2 hours of soldering it just disappeared. I also had a regular grinder and out of the box the bearing was bad and it was rattling like crazy. Now my dad uses it cause he always pushes tools like crazy so I dont care if he destroys it. It also needed a lubrication. The battery for my neigbours wireless cutter died in like 1 month. I had the cutting discs and when one cracked and the other blew up whilst I was cutting. The others wore 6 times as fast on sheet metal (notorius for destroying discs) than a more expencive disc. Their sander is pretty bad too it makes your hand itch like crazy cause all the vibrations transfer directly to your hand. I am never buying a single Lidl tool ever.
Yeah, cheap cutting discs really suck. If you have the comparison to good ones you never use such crap again.
The cheap tools may work for DIY, but the batteries are quite small compared to brand tool batteries. The machines are not brushless, they consume more energy than brand tools with brushless motors and the batteries have long charging times, while brand tool batteries have short ones despite more battery capacity.
same as Makita, my prefered brand for reliability and 3 yrs warranty
I don't buy much food from lidl always end up with one of their tools under my arm!
I go to lIdl every week for 2 reasons, Tools and yogurts xD
@@ferfire9 same and i feel so good buying their tools
How are they holding up ???
I bought a hot air gun. Died in literally 2 minutes. They offer 3 year warranty though, and gave me back the money no questions asked.
For the price very good tools thanks, great vídeo 👌👌👌👌👌
our parkside charger blew up
ALDI/LIDL power tools are great for the diyer not sure if i would take them on site
You use an impact wrench on the wheels not driver👍
Ive got a few of their tools and Aldi's too. As you say, they are a great price and perfect for a DIYer. I do have both of these tools shown here and I did try the Impact driver on a wheel rim too and again it didnt like it too much. But,the angle grinder works far better with the bigger 4 Ah battery as would other cordless (20v range) tools from Lidl. Nice vid, as well as your others I watched today. Subbed
You trying to kill that tree with the copper wire ? As there are quicker ways 😂
I got these ok for handman work around the house anything else put them in the bin and the blades won't fit outher makes motors burn out in no time
Seems good u can check for drill bit chunk small I've saw 20$ brass one that fit same drill in so its small max 5-7 mm maybe but fine for that little one u can check it out I might give u link in couple days
i have a cordless screwdriver done it 20 times then it was dead. Production fault maybe,need to send it to lidl service still. for me it was just a backup machine,i have an Hitachi with 84Nm works after 3 years still fine after abusing it alot. But for the money ill think your good with lidl stuff ;)
think the disc on grinder is for grinding metal and the other disc are for cutting
rudeboz a 3mm grinding disc? 😂 it's also a cutting disc just a thicker one
I have a 400nm mains powered impact wrench with a half inch drive and it too cannot undo wheel nuts.
Doesn’t the impact look just like the harbor freight bauer impact driver
That's all similar stuff, if you buy this machines directly in China from the usual back yard factories in bigger numbers you could also order ones with your name on it.
YEP AND IT FAILED HERE TOO ua-cam.com/video/D4y9JBMbUEo/v-deo.html
@flip inheck cheap Budget tools made in Germany - this would be nice ;-) If you want a tool really made in Germany, you can buy something from Fein, but not from Lidl. Even cordless Bosch tools are mostly made in countries in Asia, and Hilti produces their batteries also in China.
This is hilarious. I found this channel a year ago because of your video "lidl sells airtools now?" Their air compressor was on sale in my country and I was searching for a review. Too bad these tools are not for sale at all at the moment. Lidl was selling them last month. I find it funny that lidl sponsors you for their DIY tools. I like that you are honest though. The tools are fine. And that's all. Their are ok for what are advertised. You are missing the best tool out of their collection though. Pretty sad you did not get the small screwdriver. It is my favourite. I am no hater I have most of the tools you are showing and I have used all of the shown. Good video. I like it ;)
cenariusbg where did he say that he's sponsored by Lidl?
zXLuke4efcXz, maybe I watch too many USA DIY channels. But if they show ANY tool without mentioning 15 times that they are not sponsored then the company payed for the "review". Or send it for free in the mail. I guess Lidl just gave him the tools. If he had bought them with his own money, boy how funny it is :D Free add for LIDL :)This particular video is a strait up payed add and I can bet 5E on that.
Yes you watch too many American UA-camrs. Just because he didn't state that he wasn't sponsored by Lidl, it doesn't automatically mean that they gave him the tools. He even said at the start of the video (0:58) that he bought the battery etc.If a UA-camr is sponsored, you should find the details of the sponsorship in the description. You can get in some shit with UA-cam if you fail to disclose.
Hmmmm your answer gave me more questions than I had one hour ago ;)
Your wheel nuts shouldn't be so tight. You must be able to undo them by steping hard on the tyre iron which comes with your car so you can put the spare wheel in an emergency situation.
