- I thought it would be fun to test all the different Parkside Performance drills currently on offer. Starting with a 12V 35Nm version all the way through to the 150Nm 20V. Just so I can get the most out of them I am testing with the biggest batteries available. For the 12V that is the 5AH and for the 20V that is the 8AH. All batteries were fully charged before the test. All batteries are nearly new. Same apples to the drills too. All are lightly used and have not had a rough life at all!
In this video:

Very good, all included, noise, rpm, excellent choice of torx screws=no slipping.. C3 is pretty pleasant to the ears, all in all every tool has its purpose, when you use it correctly and not too much above capabilities it will perform as intended and you will enjoy it, for me 60nm C3 is best, 150NM is great but I don't want to carry that brick 😅
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Torx screws are great to use! I recently had to unscrew very old flathead screws and it took about 10 times as long as it should have... As for the drills the difference in weight between the C3 60Nm and A1 150Nn does not look like much, however you quickly begin to feel it. It's not just the weight, it's also the constant kickback of the tool if you go just a bit too far. It's like a high torque impact. It's good to have so you can use it if you need it, however all the rest of the time you will be using something smaller and easier to handle , which in this case is the C3 60Nm. I use them with the 8Ah batteries in the video but the 60Nm with the 4Ah smart battery is a pleasure to use. Compact and will get the job done!
Congrats on 1k subs!
Thank you! It made me so happy today to see that 1000 people choose to spend some of their time on this channel! Thank you for being here!!!
Another GREAT video! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
You broke a lot of things in this video 😂. Great job with the video!
Thank you! Yes, I need to buy some more at some point, otherwise nothing to break next time and it's not like me to not break anything 😂
@@BrokeLifeEU 😃
Super! Top video!
Thank you!
Really interested in this test! I bought the 150nm hammer drill recently on sale 🎉
I hope you got a good deal on it! I love the endless power of it!
The biggest one, the one with the alleged 150nm, is actually close to 90nm. It totally got destroyed by a much weaker tool on paper and at the same price point. The erbauer 120nm. Also it had choke problems such as extreme run out and wobble. On top of that, it also had a very sensitive over current protection that caused the tool to seize every once in a while. I will wait for the b2 version when and if it will come out since this tool is no longer listed in the official lidl page anymore.
In my case I never managed to overload it to an extent where I had to wait for it to work again. It was only on that big last screw that it managed to cut out. However it is on the heavy and burdensome side.
Awesome test! I was really wondering about which one to get. I do have a 12v Bosh drill but thinking about getting a second drill for convenience. But I wouldn't buy the Bosh again, just for its high price alone.
Just some small comments:
I think it would be better to display the RPMs for a moment without scrolling text. This is better for pausing and reading them.
Also, chapter marks in your videos would be great to jump back to specific sections again without seeking.
YES!!! I spent a lot of time trying to make the chapter marks work. Especially on this video! Unfortunately in the end I could not make them work. I am tool old for this technology stuff now anyway. But I'll give it another go! And thank you for your comment and positive mark! I really appreciate the time you take to watch and comment!
I have the 12v and the 20v 80NM that the new 64nm replaced. The 12v is my favorite by a landslide. With the 2ah battery weights less than the 8ah battery alone, and it's capable of doing 95% of the holes and screws one typically use. I very very rarely use the big one unless I need the hammering function.
I can agree with the 95% part, however out of these three my choice is the 60Nm. If we are talking size and 12V it's the green brushed one, because of the price. I am not so sure the 12V performance is that much better than the 12V brushed for normal use. The ergonomics are different and I think that is on purpose, just to make you spend more on the performance version. However if I could only have ONE drill for everything it would be the 64Nm hammer drill. That thing is light for its power and very capable in all situations.
@@BrokeLifeEUSure, if you can only have one, you need to have the one that can do everything, which has to be a powerful enough hammer drill. But at 49€ with a charger, two 2ah batteries and two (not very good) bits sets on a fabric case, I think it's a better deal than the green one. It's noticeably more powerful and just being brushless and having a longer warranty completely justifies it.
@MiguelCamba Oh if it is for €49 absolutely! I had to spend €75 on mine…
@@BrokeLifeEUI got mine for 65€, but now in Spain it's down to 49. Killer deal.
@MiguelCamba Can‘t beat that price for such a good drill!
Hi, love your channel and have been binge watching some of the videos. Do you happen to know what the c3, b2, or a1 in the model name represents? My guess was c3 was lowest tier and a1 was performance tier?
My local Lidl has a pstda c3 jigsaw in at the moment but I can't find anyone reviewing it.
OK little update. They reference the generation of the tool. So c3 is newer than b2 etc.
Thank you so much for your kind message! It makes me really happy knowing you are enjoying the content! And in therms of the question you asked I can see you figured it out! Great job!
I can't wait, I have first two.
How do you find them? Are they powerful enough for your needs?
@@BrokeLifeEU More than enough, 12V is nice for small jobs, it goes with two batteries and charger, bits and drill bits, but C3 is so compact with new 4Ah battery, I love using it primarily. I had C2 before but I wanted to exchange it for C3 because it's even smaller, shorter to be exact, 64NM is great because of the hammer function but I have corded Bosch for drilling walls, I just love compact stuff.
Could not agree more. The C3 20V is the best of all worlds. With the 4Ah battery that has the size of the old 2Ah it is superb! That and the converted impact driver meant I could disassemble any part of a car in minutes!
Right now the A1 is on discount for 50 euro in my country, but do I really need it 😅?
Do you know how the C3 compares to the B2 (80N)? I am interested in the hammer functionality.
Love your videos btw, good English Parkside videos were really missing on UA-cam.
Edit: Oops, I am mixing the ones you reviewed up with the "PSBSAP" models.
Well the B2 has a hammer mode so it is more versatile with not much more weight compared to the C3 you see in the video. Regarding the 150Nm A1 that is just too heavy for my liking and I know the power looks like it is a good idea, but it is anything but that for your wrists. If I have to drive a long screw or lag bolt I will pick up the impact driver every single time and my wrists will thank me. But for 50EUR on the other hand if you want to have it and that is not too much money for you I'd say go for it even if it is just for bragging rights 😂
@BrokeLifeEU thanks for you response! If I had spare money I wouldn't be watching your videos 😆. Regarding the C3 and B2, I meant the 64nm variant with hammer functionality (PSBSAP 20-Li C3). I didn't see a weight measurement in your video about this one, how does it compare to the C3 in this video regarding weight?
😂 fair point. It is a couple of grams heavier. But it has the added hammer function. For €50 it is a good buy! Best of both worlds. If I had to have only one drill for all my drilling needs it would be the 64Nm C3 with hammer function.
It doesn't seem to have the hammer drill option though and even though the 160nM has almost too much power, it might need this option to go through bricks.
None of these here have a hammer function. And they deffinately need it to go through brick as you said. And without the hammer function 150Nm is indeed too much power.
The PPBSA 20-Li A1, looks very close to PABSP 20-Li C3,Do you think it's worth it? Which would you choose c3 €59 or A1 €99?
Thanks!
Ps:eng sub please(traduction)
Thanks!
The PPBSA has a lot of power but also a lot of weight. For me the PABSP C3 is enough for a drill. If I need more power I would get an impact driver and save my wrists. If you need 150Nm in a drill format it is best if it is a stationary drill. The C3 with a 4Ah smart battery is easy to use and will have all the power you might need in a drill.
Are the drillbits and screws also bought from Lidl?
Hello! Not in this case. The drill bits are the cheapest ones from a local store, because I wanted brand a brand new drill bit for each drill and material. That also applies to the screws. Off topic but I love the avatar!
i got the 12v and the strongest 150nm with hammer (the new version) I do all my house jobs with the smallest because its light and has the power do do all the wood work i need
Yes I feel the same way the 150Nm is overkill in 99.99% of cases. If I had to have only one it would be the middle one.
This tests are actually ridiculous! Almost none of us will ever need edge performance of this machines but its good to know what they can achieve anyways.
The idea was to see when they will stop. And I welcome ideas for other test! So feel free to share! Not just for drill, but anything you would like to see!
Hole saws, I bought the 150Nm for that purpose but haven't used bigger than 80mm. Cheap 80mm hole saw through 4-5cm of pine, 1st gear, no hesitation 👍
Solid point! I did also want to do some hole saw-ing however I could not find any decent ones for the video production budget I had set aside.
Personally I’d have tested (and weighted!) the 12v without the chuck when possible. I find it quieter and nicer to use. Maybe it’s placebo effect because of being lighter but I feel it more powerful.
I feel the chuck could act as somewhat of a flywheel and increase the power just a bit. It may be negligible for such a small weight and diameter but still. And I did want to include the chuck just because the other 2 have it anyway.
A couple years ago I used one of these 20V parkshit toys, can't tell you which one though. I didn't like it, not for the reason I don't waste money on parkshit today, it was too violent for what I was doing. More power is not always "more better" as you demonstrated by breaking the bit, although working on a moving log is anything but professional or safe. You do you, not criticizing.
Absolutely right! Power delivery is even more important than outright power. If you can't use, it why have it in the first place! And about the log you can't imagine how many times it struck me in the knee or something. It will be a reminder not to do that for a long time to come! Unfortunately I don't have a place of my own to do these tests and so that is the difficult part of the situation. I don't recommend doing this sort of test with an unsecured log. Not if you like your kneecaps.
@@BrokeLifeEU A tip. Hold it against a wall with your foot. Not the best solution, but prevents it moving about. Probably not the best option to record a video, but at least it won't move unexpectedly.
Tried it, but could not get the video done in that particular location. Tricky one... At least I don't see any big drills on the horizon to review in the near future. I hope nobody comes up with a budget 200Nm drill. That will be quite damaging to my joints 😂
"...working on a moving log is anything but professional or safe." Then:
"A tip. Hold it against a wall with your foot."
You couldn't make these people up.
Sorry to ruin your time on the platform! I hope that you will be able to find channels and videos to enjoy! All the best! And apologies once again!@@bayadere8308
The background music is a little too loud over the tool noises. Also for measuring the db-s of drills you had the sound meter too close. Also when measuring the rpm you don't need to pause the video for results, you can just let it run a bit longer 🙂 Other than that, a great video. 👍
Thank you for your comment! For sure I will take these pointer in to account and try to do better in the future! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me! And thank you also for the positive mark for the video!
Please include the brands of the fasteners that broke so we can all avoid purchasing them, a stubby lag bolt shouldn't shear in two halfway into a log like that 😅
😂 I usually walk in to a hardware store and ask for a couple of each scew/bolt/nut size. The looks I sometimes get deserve a video of their own. I couldn‘t tell you the brand names, because in most cases none are displayed. Just the size of the fastener.
There's a particular big box hardware chain here that seem to always give me funny reactions, even for the most normal requests. Like wildly passive aggressive, to the point of gaslighting. I'd be tempted to set up a channel, use a hidden cam, and go ask some really stupid questions to see how things would go 😄
Why didn't you use a wood-drill? Looks like you used a metal-drill
It is a wood drill bit, albeit a cheap one.
