Used a small teng set for years when I started doing some work on the cars and it took unbelievable abuse, would definitely recommend also. But for all @Lyons wants it for id be more than happy with parkside.

Latest addition to the parkside collection, should be handy for hosing the bikes down at the trail.

Anyone have this? Is it dead on?

Yeah, got one a few months ago, seems to do the job fine for the odd time it has been needed

Probably found this more amusing than I should have King D1ck not so King!

 

[Coog]

King **** used to be good too. Probably just the brand left and everything coming out of the Far East.

The Lidl one is spot on but I wouldn't use it for head bolts or anything critical, I've a calibrated teng one for that sort of stuff.

I use the Lidl one for wheel bolts, suspension bolts etc. I've checked it against the teng and it's pretty close.

Make sure you slack off the torque adjustment before storing it so the spring isn't compressed and it should last a long time.

Need to grab one of these before they disappear unless…@hannakournikova - how many have you bought?

It seems the Amazon one (that they rate highly) is exactly the same as the Lidl one.

I'm on my second Amazon one. Use it for wheels and suspension stuff. Broke the gears in the first one as I couldn't find my breaker bar one day and had to use it lol.

Been more careful with the second one and they work grand

None in Ards

None in Ards

It's been out for a couple of weeks. I bought mine when it came out, and there was only 4 in stock in Ards then.

 

[Lyons]

Plenty in Banbridge on Saturday.

Alas, I took @lennyd ‘s advice and went all in with a Teng unit .

Anyone have a 20v cordless parkside drill from Lidl? See they're on for £49 next week. My dewalt has finally died after about 15 years but not really wanting to spend £150 for a new one.

my FIL got one the a few years ago to do stuff round the garden and the house, its grand seems to work well, it feels a bit light for every day use but he still uses it and if hes round my house helping me out it works just as as well as my bosh

I've it and a DeWalt XR, the parkside is grand but really does struggle going into walls brick/block etc.

I'd use it when I'm doing light stuff just to keep the wear off the DeWalt.

I have a corded drill for masonry. This would just be for wood, plasterboard, etc.

Have one a while now, it's OK but slow speed on 2nd gear. Paid less than £49 too.

I like the pistol type 12v ones, I have 4 of them, 2 in use, 2 still in the boxes. Only issue with the 12v ones is the 10mm chuck, but it prevents me burning them out.

 

[Jbridges522]

Lsike all parkside stuff they are great as long as ur realistic with it, 100% for DIY.

Anyone got the Parkside petrol lawnmower.
At £120 it might do the job.

It's pretty lightly constructed. I returned mine and paid a bit extra for a self propelled Titan from Screwfix.
