Does anyone here have any Parkside performance power tools? They came up with this little 20v kit of drill, impact drive recip saw, two 4ah batteries and charger for like 180€ and honestly seems plenty for sparse /diy/. And they offer 5 year warranty which is kinda crazy for cheap tools.I have PP screwdrivers with a metal shank and they are surprisingly good but power tools are a different beast.
Are there no Euros in this board?
>>2959318buy an ad
>>2959318>24h later and still no repliesWtf I thought there were at least some krauts, brits and frogs, poles or italians in this board but I guess I was wrong. Online reviews seems good enough so I'm buying the kit.
>>2959318I'm still waiting the universal battery.
>>2959318I have the 12v impact and the 12v E4 drill/driver kit is OK for light homeowner stuff... Only buy on sale... The bits sucks buy brand ones tho.
>>2959318Also take the corded/second hand pill. Avoid (kinkfisher group) in France avoid Castorama et Leroy Merlin (neuliez group) cheap brands
>>2959318They're okay. I have an impact drill from the lineup, different model than in the picture, but it's been fine. I mainly use it with a Makita adapter and then an aftermarket chink 8Ah 21700 battery. Parkside everything is "fine for the money". If you want more serious tools and you're in Europe, then Makita is the go-to brand, but the same stuff from Makita would cost 2-4 times as much.
>>2959550In Europe the go to brand would be Bosch, or Hilti if you're really fancy pants. This will be a Christmas gift for dad and get just minimal use, with the 5 year warranty I think it will be worth it.
>>2959564Bosch Green is garbage these daysAnd Blue is less bang for your buck than Makita
>>2959571I use brushless Bosch blue at work and it's good. I have used Makita before and it was good too but any of those two will cost me the same as this parkside performance kit just for the two batteries and a charger. Not really comparable.
Well went ahead and bought it, pleasantly surprised so far. Came with a tool bag and a flashlight. The little impact driver will definitely be useful, the safety button on the saw is pretty annoying and will take time to get used to.
>>2959861the impact and the angle grinder are on sale next week in spain, i might buy them depending on how much money i earn these dayshttps://www.lidl.es/es/parkside-en-tu-tienda/c8478#Proxima
I have a few of the 12v drills; they're often discounted and the batteries are also fairly affordable. I find them really handy for diy projects, you can have a couple in rotation with different bits for the same price as a single green bosch drill
>>2959920Do they ship to the USA?
>>2960197malwart hyperturd rates pretty gud at the poornigger price point but you dont get the fake metabo colorscheme
>>2959318I have the impact driver and a green anglegrinder. They do the job, for the money you pay. The driver was able to drive 8x16 tornado screws. The grinder can cut sheetmetal and tiles.
>>2960197Doesn't Aldi sell Ferrex tools in the US?
>>2959318This brand sucks and I hate it.
>>2959318Dewalt is better
>>2959318For that price I would pick it up and replace whatever inevitably breaks with Bosch blue with either parkside battery adaptors (avoid 3d printed) or cheap lupo bosch batteries.This guy continuously reviews Parkside Performance tools and compares each gen to the last:https://youtu.be/dbDK5TW9Lgc
>>2959318Got this psbsap 20-li d4 set a year ago, it's pretty great. Also bought my sister the PBSPA 12 C3 E4 with some batteries and bits as well and she's happy with it.I kind of liked that one a lot because you can remove the head, but then I'd have 2 types of batteries and meh
>>2960269Parkisde is from Lidl, not Aldi
>>2959318I have a battery sander and cord miter saw and power washer. parkside is perfectly decent for hobbyist/occasional use, obviously won't cut it professional volume/precison, but they're fine for just fucking around at home. The miter saw I have had for 3 years, did a whole home renovation, and it's still going.main downside of parkside for me is that whenever possible the tools are designed to only accept parkside consumable parts (blades etc) which are made of cheap shit metal, so if you're going to use it several times a month, might as well fork out the cash for higher end gear , it's cash your going to spend on extra bits and bobs anyway with parkside. (this is not a problem with drill bits)
>>2964206Yo im the anon that made the thread asking if that psbsap d4 is a good deal. What did you use the drill for in the last year? How does it perform? Any single issue?
>>2964336I think it's a great deal ye. Both this and last year, they ended up being bought out by scalpers (or people who really wanted it, like me) who buy it within an hour of the store opening. I didn't really put it through it's paces but I used it while making my workshop to drill 3mm steel for many hours while putting up OSB and it was fine.
>>2964381Nice, heh I'm also the guy coming in within an hour of opening to snatch it. I got it for 130, I see scalpers selling for 170 now
>>2964206that looks fucking nice. there are adapters that converts the voltagesaliexpress.com/item/1005008748699604.htmlrandom example but some are legit
>>2959318i have 3 pieces of that kit.first of all green parkside is usually shit. Parkside performance is either shit or really great. 1The Drill with 60NM best powerfor price dril out there hands down, its on paar with a 200€ makita for 40€.2.The Angle grinder on sale for 40€ is great.considering what a makita or Bosch costs. downside it has a sharp protection meaning if you press to hard it goes out. with the model in you pic you switch it back on. i heard ppl complaining about the model with touch buttons where you have to press 3 button in correct order if it goes out which is a pain in the ass. also a 4AH or a smart (pouch cell battery is a must.)3. the SDS drill is pretty weak, it does its job but is slow but again for 50€ compared to a 300€ hilti not bad. for a homeowner totally fine, at work drilling 100 holes in really good concrete definitely not. the non hammer drill function is a joke it has a slip clutch so forget the SDS wood drills the drill is way more powerful.Prices are round about what i paid on sale in the sore without batteries
Have anyone used those Parkside 12V performance tools?
>>2960197Lidl sells them and has a bunch of stores on the east coast from GA to NY. Mogs the shit out of Aldi
>>2959318Arnold approves it ( yuck )
>>2959318the hardest part about using parkside performance power tools is telling my dad im gay
>>2959318green Parkside is shit chinesium (kind of like green Bosh)black Parkside is decent chinesium, arguably the best bang for the buck.I'd rate them lower than blue Bosh and Makita, but those cost a bit more.>>2964199this is actually what I would recommend
>>2972344Some good deals on their french online store this week (i will post pics and détails when delivered) Bought : -12v 4Ah b4 papk batteries (two for 15€)- PKLLP 360 B green laser + tripod (30€)- PPDSSA 12 A1, 12v impact 12,7mm 1/2 square (18€) for light car work- PAR ratchet 12 B1, 12V (12€)- molly kit (6€)- rivet kit (5€)- double isolated wine glasses (4€)- bits (4€)IMO this this chinkshit (owim or grizzly) but with easier warrenty options at lidl than mystery aliexpress brands shilled elsewhere (and no headache return policy). Here in France the Leroy Merlin or Castorama entry level shit is also rebadged from china with low quality too (dexter/ McAllister). I have some inheirited/second hand facom or nice tools, some corded ryobi and black&decker from the 2000 is also decent. So my usual process is : good second hand reputable brands -> rebadged chinkshit from lidl-> rebadged chinkshit from local stores-> ali-> usual brands from local stores
>>2959318Never trust anyone that sells 18V nominal as "20V".
