Parkside Cordless Drill 20v Lithium-ion Battery Screwdriver PABS 20-Li C3

Product Information

These tools and other similar tools are just re badged china imports,their quality is sufficient for the work they are designed for ie, If they were available year-round it would take up so much more space for them and they would probably get less sales overall! Do they only manufacture the tool for a short time before selling them in lidls stores across the UK for a week or so before discontinuing the item? Surely this is a waste, they have all the equipment and machinery to make that tool then put it to rest for 11 months before there next promotion to sell that tool in a year or so time.

in Lidl Offers This Week & Lidl Super Weekend LIDL DIY Tools Offers From Thursday, 7 September 2023however I like to do a lot of DIY /building/woodworking so I can justify spending more to get much nicer tools even if they cost 3-4x more.

Most of the parkside tools are ok-ish however their cordless Dremel like tool is total rubbish, the spindle bearings went after a few goes on light hobby work the same happened to my neighbour when he got one. But they won't replace it as they are a discontinued item. My dad bought one of those dremel tools as well- It was terrible, after that he has hardly ever bought anything from lidl tools due to sour taste in mouth after that dremel.

Not really. The Makita tool is more robust and will last longer in a trade or heavy DIY environment (e.g. a self-build). It will also be possible to get spares 5 or 10 years down the line. Yer pays yer money....
