I did want to cut a car in half with it! I thought it would make for a good video and it would be the ultimate test for the tool and carbide blade. Unfortunately the production budget got in the way of that... 😅

Parkside or Temu tools?

No, brushless.

At €3 per blade that is a fantastic price! The Parkside ones I paid €10 per blade which for it being Parkside I think is a bit too much.

Do you mean for corded tools? I don‘t have anything corded so I don‘t really know. The only thing I have with a cable are lamps and a screwdriver with a USB-C cable and I have tried loads and they charge great. Which tools are you having issues with? I hope you don‘t mind me asking.

@@BrokeLifeEU basically all the lights from parkside either micro usb or usb c ones only charges with cables they had in a box , whenever I’ve tried any other branded cable it never started charging or stopped after a short while . The usb c one you are using one bought recently and it charges only with that box cable too

@soldier9927 😅 I am going to try all of this as soon as I can! I am sure I have charged them with multiple USB C cables but am starting to question myself now! It could be that they start to charge and then they don‘t. I will try this out for sure! Because it will be shocking if they somehow limit their USB-C ports. Worse than Apple…

@@BrokeLifeEU well I’ve only noticed it , because when I charged it with different cable that I’m charging everything else , it appeared full with full bars , but after few days it was empty. So I’ve tried other cables and some didn’t even started charging , then I’ve used original ones from the box and I’ve tried them every few days and they are still full and running so just saying keep them 😃 I’ve came across this too with portable fan from brand ARCTIC Summair Plus Black that only original cable works with it or baseus car phone holder only works with some cables and some won’t . So hope you have more luck then me 😃

@soldier9927 I will report back for sure!

I understand you have tested both extensively, however you like neither. Is that the case?

Sper să vă placă instrumentul dvs.! Vă mulțumim pentru comentariu și pentru timpul acordat!

You are right there. I mean the orbital action looks like it does something in my case but nothing to be excited about and I felt no real difference with the branches I was cutting. Also the branches were rather big so I would have hoped to have seen a difference there but no. So to that I would say at least in my case it was more of a gimmick. As for the dust getting in the tool I felt it no worse than the cordless sabre saw that I have. That said my cordless sabre saw is not very good at dust prevention either, but this one is no worse than what I am used to with Parkside. It is not a bad tool if it is used within DIY limits. for 50-60 euros I find it to be satisfactory, because it will get the job done and it has a lot of power. Have you tried the carbide blades?

@BrokeLifeEU you are right. If you consider the price, than yeah, but unfortunately, the corded performance series is advertised as pro level tool. Specially the angle grinder which was rather expensive, and has some professional tech on it. It has a magnetic ring that provides loading data and a relay that keeps the rpm constant. This sabre saw should have been the green line tool. Anyway I modded mine and added two additional sealing layers. It should have less chance of glogging. The orbital action can be amplified with a more aggressive shaft. But not too much because it will lock completely the reciprocating action. Also I have tried the carbide blade, it is good but it doesn't last long. The best blades I've used are makita.

Did they really market them as professional tools? That is way above what they are good for! Also I knew Makita blades were good but I still surprised myself with how good they actually are. I managed to get them from a local store where they were on sale and each Makita blade cost me no more than 1 EUR. For that price I should have bought the entire box of them. I really like the feel of the Makita Progressive blade, looks like a very good blade for wide use.

@BrokeLifeEU the angle grinder sure is advertised as such in the booklet. For demanding work in your workshop or in your house. That is what's written in the booklet. I bought a whole box of makitas blades. Set for long time.

I may have to get that grinder and make a video of it. Could be interesting I have an old Makita to test it against.

That is what I will be doing. I prefer to replace a blade more frequently than to spend x4-5 times as much on a single blade. The regular Makita blades are like 2 Euros each. The carbide Parkside is anywhere from 10 to 15 depending on what mood Lidl financial people are.

I would agree with that, not worth the money, regular makita blades are good enough, also I didn't put mine to the test, I have some Irwin ones that won't give up :-)

Yes, I used the Parkside metal carbide say about 10 times in total and am starting to see some wear on the teeth. The makita blades I bough from a store where they were on sale. Less than 1 EUR per blade. I am very impressed with these regular Makita blades. The progressive metal Makita blade I think is my favourite, because I feel it can be used for a wide range of metals and will always feel and perform pretty much the same.

I have a couple of angle grinders waiting for me. I have the flathead ones and the D4 the last performance one with a proper button. Any of them the one you would like to see in a video?

@@BrokeLifeEU sorry, I didn't specified, the corded one. I didn't get it and I was wondering if the 1700w is a little bit to much for a 125mm grinder, but I would bought it anyway. Unfortunately, I've missed it..

I can try to get you a review of that angle grinder, but my access to corded power is very limited at the moment and I have somewhat stretched my finances unfortunately. However I will see if I can make it happen for you! I will try my best!

Really? I always had the impression that there was a wide selection of cheap and cheerful tools over there. Things like Kobalt, Hyper Tough, Flex? Or are they not that good or more on the expensive side maybe?

@@BrokeLifeEU true, they are getting a little cheaper but most are still rather expensive.

Sorry to hear! Having never shopped for tools over there I guess the name budget tool brands fooled me. I did think they were better value for money than Parkside. Still there are some Lidl stores in the USA but I have no idea why they don't stock the tools. I think they could end up selling quite a few tools to casual DIY-ers.

I was not able to find it on the Temu site either. For me it was a pop up on my phone for the Temu app and the discount was only valid for a purchase via the app. It is also possible that they are done with this discount and have moved on to a discount for another tool.

@@BrokeLifeEUshame, I really don’t need a 7 euro ratchet but I would be willing to invest in it 😂

@@RobbertN I know! That is exactly how I felt 😂

Thank you! Not a fan of Temu myself but they got mw with the €7 cordlesa ratchet 😅

Sounds like a plan I may make use of 😂

Es war absolut dumm, es nicht zu sichern. Aber genau das konnte ich damals tun. Ich werde versuchen, es beim nächsten Mal besser zu machen.

I did also come across a very tight bushing. Tighter than usual. I managed to pull it out in the end but it took a lot of effort. I put the entire assembly in the freezer and then blasted it with a flame as I took it out. It was still a battle. I got it out in the end with no damage to the casing. But if you don't feel comfortable with it I would advise not to try it or to give it to someone with a hydraulic press.

@@BrokeLifeEU Thank you for your answer. So, the problem was not about the heat. I beat it like crazy with no result. Yes, I think I need a hydraulic press.

Too many former injuries on hands and fingers which have left their marks so I prefer to have gloves on.

At least in most cases you can return the tools for a full refund with Lidl if you do not like them. Granted for a limited time after you buy the tool but it is still enough to know what you got. For Temu I can't say, because I have not bought anything from them apart from what you see in the video. The Temu ratchet is not too bad as well as the extractor kit, but the lamp is a disaster.

@@BrokeLifeEU so do you think aldi are worse than lidl and temu or do you prefer not to say .

@andrewhague4123 Unfortunately my sample size is not big enough in order to be able to give a comprehensive answer. However from Ferrex I have two impact drivers, hammer drill and angle grinder. The only tool I am not a fan of is the grinder. I find it too weak and not well built. In terms of the other tools I have they were cheapter than the Parkside equivallents, however are much more difficult to find. So has Aldi invested more in to Ferrex and if the tools were easier to find I can say they would be a good competition against Parkside. However the fact that Parkside have many more offerings and the tools and batteries are currently easier to find I will have to go with Parkside on this one. That being said there may be a Ferrex tool that is so good that it tips the scales the other way.

3 year warranty on Lidl, had a couple of things break past 2 years on, no problem, contact service, copy of receipt, replacement in my hands 2 days later.

All made in china. Regardless of where you get them

I had anxiety myself about my fingers being too close to it. I know what you mean! It won‘t cut a finger off but it will do substantial damage for sure!

Thank you for the hint! I can confirm I did not know this about the extrctors, however you are also correct on the lack of any instructions front. So I just winged it 😅 As for the app, the ads were a disgusting amount. The 24/7 spamming with emails I also had enough of fairly quickly. And then it is the fact that I felt I could have spent a lot more on the thing had I not deleted it. So for now I would rather save up some money 😅! Thank you for your time! I hope you enjoyed the video! I am struggling to find other tools pn Temu for a decent price however, what tools did you get and are they still available?

Yes, indeed it is nice to have around. As for the price it depends on the country. Anywhere from €30 when on sale I am told up to €60. Available on the German Lidl.de website for €57.99 currently.

€49 + shipping Lidl shop France

They do have a wide range of tools now and are still expanding their range. Also the price for most Parkside tools is pretty reasonable

Thank you! Cheers!

Nicely done! Do you manufacture them?

Thank you!

250-280Nm max

Sorry I will remove it.

Not pointless in my opinion

Thank you and you got it. I thought it was positive but I will try harder for sure! Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting!

I guess they never had them or had very limited qualities. I can tell you I got the full kit for about 35 Euros from Lidl Germany. That is the tool, battery 2ah and charger. Now they are a bit more expensive at around 42-45 Euros for the same kit but I still think it is nice to have.

Thank you so much! I honestly can't say I have a technique. I just start the camera and do something. I edit and post whatever I end up doing 😂😂😂 As a result of that for every video I post there is another video that ends up in the editing bin 😂😂😂

And also on the sponsorship front I am still shocked that a channel with about 2K subs can not go a day without getting an email regarding sponsored content. They all want to send me an item for a review, but want me to guarantee a positive review. Sorry but that will not happen. I agreed to this collaboration with Wuben, because I researched the product and the company. I came across overwhelmingly positive comments about it. Then I asked for freedom of the review and they said I can say whatever I want. No guarantee of a positive review was needed. Anything I did not like I could voice. Hence this is the only sponsored content you can see on this channel. If the other companies agree to these terms I am fine with reviewing their items/tools. But only if I can state the truth. I don't want to be doing dishonest reviews!

​@@BrokeLifeEUIf this is the case then you're a natural common hand/power tools tester. 👍🏻💯😅

​@@BrokeLifeEUStay true to yourself. 💯 This is the first of many more to come.

Honestly that is how it happens. I usually have no idea what I am about to do. No plan or anything 🤣

The adapters are a real help for branches. Without said adapters it is difficult to cut branches with this. Hands down the Parkisde is a lot better than this. The battery charge time on this is absolutely appalling!

@@BrokeLifeEU I have never used thr 12v version. tho the 20V sabre saw is a beast. Rebar cut efforlessly with it. No sparks.

I have the new big sabre saw. The corded one 1250W I believe. I am planning on a video with it soon. It might turn out to be interesting, you never know 😂

I will try to do so! Unfortunately I have exhausted my tool fund so it will be at some point in the future when I manage to save up a little, because I can get it at around 40-50 EUR at the moment, which is a bit steep

They are both red so I must be correct right 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for the support!

Thank you so much! I try to make content I would find entertaining to watch. I hope it will only get better!

At £35 it is a very good buy! Not as powerful as the Performance version, however quite a lot lighter. Nice to have for sure! Can I ask what else you have in the Parkside collection?

@@BrokeLifeEU I grabbed one today ! I also bought the cordless multi purpose tool and a dual charger which i'm very happy with. I also own the corded SDS drill and "plunge" circular saw and jigsaw. My local Lidl stores were meant to have the cordless jigsaw instock but I couldn't find it anywhere. Loved the content, from Scotland !

@weetecguy97 Much love to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿! I got a Performance jigsaw today. Not that I needed it but I guess it is nice to have around 😅

@BrokeLifeEU I know the feeling. They also have an orbital Sander available right now, I don't have any immediate use for it, but you never know when you'll need one 😅 Do you have any experience with this tool ?

@@weetecguy97 Unfortunately not. I don‘t do too much with wood or such but this channel might make me get in to that. Hence my new jigsaw and wood router 😅

€40 for that ratchet is not bad to be fair. I would still go with the Parkside just because I have loads of 12V parkside batteries and they are not bad at all. Also the Parkside has a warranty, whereas the Temu warranty I do not trust. But €40 is really not bad at all! I said €70 because after I bought it for €7 the price if I wanted to buy it again jumped up to €70.

I am guessing it is the JAVN. I hope you get a good deal on it! Thank you for watching and for your comment!

​@@BrokeLifeEUSounds like some Japan adult videos 😂

@@mar-tin702 🤣🤣🤣

@@mar-tin702 Next time - concrete vibrator test...

@@BrokeLifeEU lol 😂😂

Not a bad idea at all! I may do it to this one just so I have a spare one. I never thought cordless ratchets were so useful until I got one. Now I can't live without a cordless ratchet nearby. I did not think about the USB charger at all but after you pointed it out that makes sense too! I hope I will not lose it... The one fairly big negative with the JAVN ratchet even for the special discount price is the lack of a variable speed trigger. I find that annoying. Did you get used to it or was it never a problem for you?

@@BrokeLifeEU yeah, me too. Once I bought one, I realised how much easier it makes your life. I use the Parkside one more. The Javn ratchet is not being used too often and I used it more for unscrewing things. So the on/off trigger doesn't bother me so much.

@@BrokeLifeEUfor mechanics sure its a big help. Cant see other uses tho

I am not a mechanic, but I do occasional work on my car and for difficult to reach places I have found it invaluable. It has helped me out of some very difficult situations and tight places.

@@BrokeLifeEU I once restored an audi80 b4. It wouldam have been great tool to use. Sadly after I parted ways with that car, also not having a garage, i dont work anymore on cars. I bring it to specialists.

Did you see the dinosaur 😅 I know I am 7 years old 😂

W sprzedaży za około 45-50 euro z 2 bateriami nie jest źle. Ale ładowanie akumulatorów zajmuje wiele godzin. Kupiłem większy. Reklamowany jako 1800 Nm za około 55 EUR z 2 akumulatorami. Jest potężniejszy. Może osiągnąć około 300 Nm. To na filmie przy pełnym naładowaniu potrafi zrobić 200Nm.

@@BrokeLifeEU jaka nazwa ten za 55 euro może link do strony z produktem

@@DominikChmiel-mp8ch Zmieniają ceny, więc najlepiej poszukać i kupić najtańszy, jaki można znaleźć. Dwie opcje Gisam 1800Nm i Onevan 1800Nm. Zarówno na Aliexpress, jak i trzeba poczekać na wyprzedaż lub kupon, aby uzyskać najlepszą cenę.

Thank you so much! I would prefer not to disclose the information regarding the companies reaching out as I feel this will not mean much at the moment. I hope they will change the way they look at their products and the audience and realise everyone is after an honest opinion.

@@BrokeLifeEU I understand and I hope they realize that saying the truth is the best way to do business.

Thank you so much! I never thought I would review a torch. But I think it came out as a nice low budget look in to it. I know what you mean about the remote activation, but it comes down again to the form factor, I wouldn't want it to be any bigger because it just feels right the way it is. You know the feeling with a quality item, it feels heavier than it is. Just the feeling I got with this as I unpacked for the first time. Now it has been a couple of weeks and I have it my glovebox and use it pretty much every night. I somewhat knew it would be a good product when they agreed to an honest opinion. But I never thought I would end up being so attached to a torch 😅 Now I understand all the fan groups!

Thank you so much! I am curious as to how bad the products from the other companies are for them not to agree to an honest review 😅

​@@BrokeLifeEUyour channel is doing great. So happy for you!

@@user-lp7dd7dz9m Thank you so much! I hope I can make bigger and better content in the future!

I find myself strangely drawn to the VHS look for some reason

@@BrokeLifeEU yes. VHS was like 99.9% here. Still have in one apt VHS recorder weigting who knows how much maybe 10 kilos and mechanical like cassette deck.
