B3 vs. NEW C3 PDSSAP 20-Li Parkside Performance Impact driver battle Grizzly tools vs Kompernass

Do you have one of these tools? What are your impressions? Would you buy the B3 for 60 EUR or the C3 for 40 EUR?
Why is the C3 PDSSAP Parkside Performance 20-Li impact driver less expensive than the B3 version.
One is made by Kompernass, the other one by Grizzly tools. Are they identical?
Is mode 4 on the C3 equal to 226Nm on the B3?
*All testing done on Mode 4 on C3 and Mode "226Nm" on the B3. Testing was performed on 8Ah batteries. In the start of the video you will see me using a 4Ah battery to show you the tools, however that is just for ease of use.
**Broken impact adaptor Makita 1/4" hex in to 1/2" at the start of the day while doing a 5sec test to see if I could overload them. They were both fine! Unfortunately the broken adaptor seems to have stressed the camera so much that it did not record what took place. Only the aftermath... Always next time!

Thank you so so much! I really am not deserving of such high praise! Unfortunately I have not tested the new B4 and I probably won't be able to for now at least. As I am funding this on my own and I have already spent quite a lot on tools I won't be able to afford another 150EUR for it. I chose to buy 3-4 tools for 150EUR instead of the big high torque impact. Seeing what the situation is between the B3 and C3 PDSSAP Impact Driver I am sure the situation between the A3 and B4 will be no less interesting, however out of my price range unfortunately...

For A1 version the mentioned anvil works. But the bushing does not, opening in the case is 19mm. I attached the videos bushing to a 16mm drillbit and used a powerdrill to run the bushing against a sandpaper, down from outerdia 22mm to 19mm. Hard to have it not spin on the drillbit. Seems to work. Also had to make a new washer that is between the case and the anvil. Took a standard 16mm washer and grinded it down a bit (to thick)

@@BrokeLifeEU In general I like parkside stuff but to often I had problems with damages or non stable power/quality. When you buy a machine you never know before what quality you really get. One machine is not like the next one, there exist big differences in between the machines in power an lifetime. When you have for example 3 times the C3 version they do not work all same good from the power and the lifetime is also different. I was a couple of times in the situation that a parkside tool did not work anymore and I was not able to finish the job (i do not buy every tool 2 times). After this happend to me a couple of times with different machines I had enough and I left parkside. I changed to Bosch Professional and no more problems. Yes, it is more expensive but you get a reliable machines. Bye it, use it and no trouble with nothing. Good and stable quality is not a misstake.

I would prefer the B3 personally, however since it is not in stock on the Lidl.de website and they started selling the B2 again i think it will be a while before they have the B3 back in stock. Yes there are some issues with the B2, however there are many people who continue using the B2 without a problem. So if you return it I don't know if you will be able to get a B3. Still you have the warranty so if you stick with the B2 and it goes wrong it should be replaced or refunded.

@BrokeLifeEU 5 ай бұрын

Well the regular one is a 1/4" hex drive and so for sockets you would need an adapter. Two problems with that: 1. The tool becomes longer and so can't go in tight spaces 2. The adaptors break a lot - It does have enough power in most cases to undo a bolt or nut. Even with an adaptor it can do 200Nm, however you will break so many adaptors that it won't be worth it. If you want it for cars I would say convert it to a 1/2" drive. There will be no power gains. On the other hand there will be no adapter to take up space and break. Or look in to the 12V PPDSSA that is the Parkside 12V impact wrench. It comes as a 1/2" drive directly from Lidl.

Can someone help me? I've just bought a C3, tested it, but i cant really put a screw in wood with it. My technique is somehow really really wrong, im using the proper phillips bit without pilot hole, screw 4 by 100mm, and no matter how hard i push and how slow rpm i use it just keeps on slipping. I know i should obviously use a pilot hole, but i keep seeing people putting them screws in wood without them.

@BrokeLifeEU 6 ай бұрын

What type of wood are you trying to put them in to? If it is beech then 100mm is all they can do. If it is something less dense then there might be a problem with the tool or you are using a weak battery. The recommended battery is 4Ah. So if you are using it with a 2Ah battery you won't be able to utilise all of the power of the tool.

On the B3 you can see the modes better and I feel it is a bit stronger. Also the B3 is currently not available on the Lidl.de website. So who knows if it is coming back. They only have the B2 which is by far the worst one.
