    I don't mind paying more for better gear, but what I do object to is when manufacturers leave things out which are really needed to use the unit. Not providing an edge guide is bad enough, but designing that stupid dust extraction port and not providing an adaptor is unforgivable.

    @davidcolin6519 4 года назад +3

    I've been using Parkside gear for at least the past 5 years. A good friend of mine is a pro painter and he was sufficiently impressed with my Parside drill that he got one himself. Uses it on a daily basis and had no problems.
    Just got the new High Power Parkside circular saw to work on the renovation of a flat we just bought. I suspect that all the (minor) issues with the smaller Parkside saw will be solved by this upgrade.
    The only Parkside tool that I haven't been especially impressed with was the belt sander, which was hugely noisy and died with heavy use. I wanted to replace it with another, but none were in stock online, so it's going to be an Einhell.
    But out of all the Parkside gear I've had, that's been the only fail. Here are the successes
    18v Drill
    cabled reciprocating saw
    18v igsaw
    cabled planer
    cabled staple gun
    20v stapler
    2x hot glue guns
    Very happy with all of them. I'm no pro, but I probably use most of these tools more than almost any normal amateur.
    As for the price; You can buy 4 of the parkside gear for the price of 1 of the Hikoki/Hitachi machines. And don't get me wrong, I've used Hitachi gear as a pro (finisher on a coach production line) and they really are lovely to use, but even as a rich serious amateur, I wouldn't even consider the Hitachi. And even as a pro, I can't see that the slight improvement in productivity would make any sense, especially if you go for the new high power circular saw and 4A battery.

    • @CasualDIY
      @CasualDIY  4 года назад

      I totally agree with you. Sometimes the budget tools present far better value than the pro tools. And Parkside seem to be quite decent plus good return policy of something goes wrong make is a very good deal👍

    • @davidcolin6519
      @davidcolin6519 4 года назад +1

      @@CasualDIY Yes. When you consider what B&D charge for stuff that is virtually worthless, you wonder why anybody buys "Midprice" brands. Even Bosch Green gear seems to be no more robust than Parkside, and is often playing catchup with the features that Parkside includes. I'm thinking of the LED that Parkside had in their drills about 3 years before Bosch Green had them. I've got no problem with Bosch Blue or Hitachi/Hikoki except the price. And a pro can have a Parkside and one for spare and still be a long way ahead of the pro options.
      There are some pro tool variants that can be justified, like quick change accessories, and then you have the system tools that really can't be replicated, but, in general, and certainly for the advanced amateur, there is very little that Parkside have that is significantly improved by any of the pro gear.
      Now, pride of ownership is a very different thing, and the pride and feel of pro tools can't be replicated. But in terms of pure functionality, it would be very difficult to justify the pro choice.

  • @robbedoes1985
    @robbedoes1985 2 года назад +5

    Man, i got nearly everything from Parkside when i started my fixer up house, Sliding Mitre Saw, table saw, large router, nailer gun, belt sander, circular saw, hammer drill, combination drill and a cordless drill. Over the course of 5 years i had ALL except the router fail on me more than once. I had the hammer drill replaced 4 times within warrantee. By now i have scrapped or sold all Parkside tools except the router. The tools are okay when new but they fail fast after intense use and they loosen up and degrade very fast. I have replaced them with Hikoki and Metabo tools, which have taken more beating but keep better accuracy and durability, actually the Hikoki and Metabo all still function as if they were brand new.

      I have a two gear, variable speed Metabo corded drill with 1/2” chuck bought in 1983. It’s still going strong but could do with a new chuck.
      Parkside angle grinder needs the 4AH battery because the 2AH trips under normal load. TBH I’m surprised that circular saw works with that small battery.

  • @johngratton467
    @johngratton467 4 года назад +2

    I needed, for occasional use and for convenience if nothing else a cordless circular saw, after watching this I bought the Parkside and a 4Ah battery, cost was a major consideration and this seemed to perform adequately on the video, I've got to admit I'm very impressed so far with it's performance, that said I've not used a 'high' end one so got nothing to compare it to, build quality is very good tbh and it's done everything I've thrown at it so far very well, is it of a Dewalt/Festoo/Makita/Hikoki quality, well no it isn't and never will be, but neither is the price, so impresed with it I bought the Parkside cordless jigsaw, again similar findings, very pleased with both of them

    I purchased a Parkside circular saw today. I have a load of 2 & 4ah batteries, so £29.99 is an absolute bargain. 3 year warranty too!
    I also picked up a cordless angle grinder for £25 and a brushless paddle mixer for £35. I already have five of their cordless drills & impact drivers, a cordless multitool, a cordless jigsaw + a load of corded stuff & 12v tools. So far none of it has let me down. Yes, it's not Mikita standard but it's not a million miles away. When you think you can pay 3-4 times as much for the big brands, you're not getting 3-4 times the tool.
    For the tools where I need precision, I pay the extra. For example, the Parkside track saw served me well for a number of years but I decided to invest in a Mikita as I wanted it to be that little bit more accurate & have all the features in the rails etc...Money well spent. When it comes to things like impact drivers, the Lidl ones do the job perfectly at £25 a pop, meaning I can have multiples, each with their own dedicated bit, which makes jobs much quicker.
    I wanted the circular saw for when I'm out and about, so I can sling it in the car boot and cut down sheet goods or timber to fit in my car boot or break down a pallet/trim a gate etc... It's ideal for that & if it did get pinches, I've not lots a ton of money.

  • @Compasscard

    It's not a really fair comparison is it. I have a parkside impact driver and it outperforms some bosch drivers. So it's not all that bad. Batteries are way cheaper, so you can easily buy 2 x 4Ah for the price of a 2.5 Ah of a more known brand. It all depends what you use it for. I have makita tools for the hard work, bosch tools for the less hard work and some select parkside tools for things I rarely need but come in handy to have. Almost forgot the metabo sander I have, it's also doing a very good job, well built !

  • @martinmorgan9
    @martinmorgan9 10 месяцев назад +1

    This saw is quiet and light to use but has a flaw that should be designed out.
    Don't get me wrong - it cuts very well - it's just that on my saw, the blade does NOT cut parallel to the sole plate.
    This is because the cutting depth adjustment bracket has too great an offset from the pivot at the back of the sole plate.
    A crude fix involves bending this bracket slightly using pipe pliers to pull the slotted part of the depth guide closer to the RHS edge of the sole plate until the blade to sole plate distance matches at the front and rear of the sole plate.

    Since Hikoki has a larger blade diameter the angular speed it produces is greater than on Lidl. It is a huge difference so that is one of the reasons it cuts faster. Comparing them with the same diameter blades would be a proper competition.

    The Hitachi has a brushless motor and cuts 2-3 times faster and obviously much smoother than the Parkside. And if you cope it with a 5 or 6Ah battery - it will cut noticeably faster, tools like brushless grinders, saws, routers, planners, etc - benefit massively from stronger batteries.
    This Hitachi is a 165mm saw, but has a cutting dept of 66mm - greater than a 185mm saw. It has also much better build and comfort of use than the Parkside (as s a pro tool) - and supposedly would last much longer. It is superior to the Parkside (and not only) - in every way apart from noise (due to the higher revs). It costs more..well - of course! What else? Is it worth it...well...if you make a few cuts per year..not necessarily. But if you want to have a nice tool when needed and can afford it - definitely. And if you use it professionally and already have some Hitachi batteries and a charger - the choice is a no brainer.

    70 quid for that Parkside saw incl two batteries and a charger must've been a real bargain. I've had a look on ebay and they're none for that money that include any battery or charger; £50 for a bare tool, plus lots of used ones being listed at ridiculous prices often more than what they are brand new, but ebay seems to be full of people trying it on, and people selling spare ones that don't work (good luck in selling those). The ones with the battery included are about £100. You could buy a DeWalt corded circular saw for that price.

    A 4Ah battery not only lasts longer, but provides more amps to the tool, actually double than a 2Ah battery at the same voltage. A typical 2Ah battery can provide about 20A of sustained amperage without too much voltage drop, that means 20A x 18V = 360W MAX Power delivered to the tool. A 4Ah battery will double that to 720W, close to a corded power tool! The test is irelevant without taking into consideration the battery capacity!
