Repairing and opening up a Parkside SDS Drill from Lidl.

Рет қаралды 73,317

Күн бұрын

Not often I get any Parkside tools in for repair and even fewer that can be fixed.
Parkside is a very basic DIY range of power tools supplied by Lidl.
But with 3 year warrenty that lidl actually upholds. You cannot go far wrong with them.
Iv seem lads buy parkside wall chasers for less then the price of 1 normal blade.
And use them to chase out several houses before they packed up. And the still get them replaced under warrenty.
some of the tools are actually quite good but some are also simply awful. But they are all cheap.

well, this is EXACTLY my experience (about 15 years ago here in Germany). Sadly, they severely lack in the wetsuit department since at least 2010, but my LIDL "Pegaso" wetsuit set from 2008 survived more than 600 dives and is still in relatively in good shape. On the tool side of things, my PABSW 10.8 A1 battery drill from 2013 (at that time ACTUALLY "made by Einhell", i.e. "Imported from Taiwan / China" by Einhell) still survives to the present day after a whole house renovation. The reason I bought it at that time was that the complete drill set from LIDL cost as much as a second battery for another - at that time battery-wise compatible - Einhell tool I bought some weeks before. Which also survived everything I did with/to it since then. I also own a LIDL MIG welder and a plasma cutter and am reasonably happy with them after some modifications, too. The new tools since at least 2020 are a lot more "quality diverse", but I think that is the case with almost any other non-professional brands, too.

As a farmer I own a bunch of parkside tools and let me tell you I got my money's worth out of any one of them. Have the cordless angle grinder, a jigsaw, regular cordless drill and impact driver and 2 nut guns -one is completely falling apart, but still works (doesn't hammer very much, since the anvil and steel bush are very worn and wobbly). But they keep on working. The batteries last surprisingly well. Some were bought in 2017 and are still kicking solid. If you buy them for trade, you will only get 1 year warranty. (never had to return any of my tools, so that's saying something about longevity as well)

I once heard somewhere that in Germany there's actually a legal regulation that products sold as "tools" have to comply with certain standards of quality. How true this is, and whether there's any real difference to other European countries I don't know. One of the things I find most remarkable about the Parkside stuff is it's not just run of the mill knockoffs like you would expect but they actually have some fairly unique and well designed products as well as occasional specialist things like die grinders and Swedish pipe wrenches that you would never expect to find in a high street tool store, let alone your local supermarket

The Parkside tools have been really popular here in Germany, loads of people buy them. Id say for a cheap tool brand they are the best you can buy honestly at the price point they sell these machines at you cant find anything better and at a higher price you might aswell just get the real deal aka a Bosch or Makita. At lest I have never really seen cheap tools as good as the Parkside tools. BUT I would NOT buy their cordless tools for sake of battery replacements and repairability. You have a higher chance getting more hours out of a corded machine and fixing it when it breaks. Brushes wear out, you can make something fit the brushholders. Switch can probably be replaced too by making a Bosch or Makita switch fit or buying the right switch off Aliexpress. Also I cant imagine their batteries are assembled with very high quality cells so I expect them to last half as long as a quality tool battery. Cant imagine Parkside using the same battery system for 10+ years and supporting legacy batteries. I have Bosch batteries from 2014 and they are still good, cant imagine a Parkside battery lasting more than ~5 years. Better off buying your most used tool from Makita with two batteries and expanding your tools by buying Mellif for example.

As a diy'er I used a parkside cordless drill 20v for mixing every batch of tile adhesive, every joist hole for pipes, every screw and drill hole in anything from doors to door frames and kitchen assembly to IKEA furniture. Even mixed concrete while waiting on the proper mixer to arrive. She sh*t the bed whilst driving 5*100 screws into 4*2 timbers for the shed. The switch melted, i whacked her and she kept going eventually failing with an almighty Guinness fart, smoke and she was no more. Drove back to shop got another one for €49. Have 5 batteries now. They're not as comfy as a DeWalt and lacks the power compared to most. However as an all rounder they work well for the money and if someone nicks it i wont worry compared to say a Makita being lifted

I wonder if you'd say the same things about new parkside tools. They're not getting much more expensive, and the reliability seems to be on a downward slope. Saws that can't hold an angle, grinders that stall out and that have push button electronic switches, impacts with random max torque depending on the unit, etc. I'm a fan but it seems their QC and engineering are very lean, to the detriment of producing products that last more than a year.

I have been using one of these in an above-average DIY capacity for over 13 years - probably an earlier model. It too had an erratic contact which I traced to close to the drill body. It was caused because the blow case, which is different from yours, is too small and required that the cable be bent very tightly, eventually causing a fracture in the cable. The clips on the case are too weak and need reinforcing. When the case is the only reason for complaint then the tool must be worth having.

It is less than a year old so should be still under warranty.

Parkside is a brand owned by Lidl. They slap it on tools sourced from various subcontractors.

The ones where the label doesn't mention either Grizzly or Kompernass are probably directly from some other Chinese OEM.

@@bayadere8308 To my modest knowledge as a German owning Parkside, Einhell, Scheppach, Güde and some other brands hobbyist level power tools (and living somewhat near the german LIDL subsidiary (?) "Grizzly Tools" company near Aschaffenburg), LIDL stopped rebranding Einhell tools at least 10 years ago and started importing their tool range from exactly the same chinese or taiwanese companies all other brands I mentioned above already did 5-10 years earlier, thus cutting out the middle man and saving costs. Here in Germany and as a non-professional, in most cases you have the "choice" to get essentially the same tool with a little different shell design (and pricetag) from all of the above "manufacturers", which in reality are only China-importers with different levels of customer support. Alternatively, you buy Makita (somewhat reasonably priced new) or Festool second hand (sometimes surprisingly cheap from industry auctions). Alternatively, sometimes you can get Bosch blue or Metabo corded tools for a reasonable price. Battery-/pricewise, the Parkside X20V stuff is REALLY worth its money, and there are a LOT of adapters for most of the other relevant brands out there if you have a 3D Printer (or know someone who has one). I had no problems repowering an old DeWalt 14.4V NiCad Impact with a X20V-Battery adapter from Thingiverse for a friend some months ago, and it still survives "farm use" until today....
