Excellent video and you're english is very good also. The mini demonstration of the SpeedClic system was a bonus. I will now watch the 'extra bearing' video. Thank you.
Excellent video Clear working detail. I searched for a 12V powered adaptor with a usb outlet with no luck too. Then I thought 12V system with usb outlet- the car! It works . Apparently a system needs the right Voltage but will only take the ampage it needs.
Thanks for the great review! Got one of these yesterday and found that they moved the button to the side, so you don't have to turn it on from the back. I have an old corded dremel but from testing this parkside tool honestly seems a bit more powerful.
Great 'starter' video, though I'm having a problem attaching the supplied soft polishing discs. No matter what configuration I try, the disc just slips down the stem. There's obviously a right way to do it, bit it escapes me!
Thanks. :) The Dremel "Speed chuck" and discs (shown in the video) are a lot better so I never went back to the "original" ones that came with the tool. P.S. In this video I've shown a "hack" I did to improve the tool (make it less "wobbly") - it has served me well for over a year now, but I wouldn't say it's durable until at least 5 years have passed: th-cam.com/video/wewmH588Up4/w-d-xo.html

Ik got a pro multitool whit foot pedal so you got 2 hands free and got this cheap one from parkside. 2 things i dont like: battery is fast emty. Second protection comes in to fast cutting something and stops for protection so you only can cut whit low pressure.
Hi excellent review, i have the same tool and i agree with the switch being in an awkward position would have been better where you suggested. I have just ordered the dremel discs you showed in the review thank you.
It's a shame they didn't make it compatible with their 12V batteries. It means they could sell the tool a bit cheaper and you can use batteries for multiple tools.
I have one of these I bought in 2010 but didn't use until the other day. It seemed OK until I put a cutting disc in and, as you said, it broke in two at 25,000 rpm! So I bought the Speedclic set as you suggested. But it made a lot more noise and vibration. So I disassembled it. I found the single bearing seemed like it had come unstuck from the plastic chassis... I thought this was what could be causing the extra noise and vibration. So i packed a tiny paper sleeve between the bearing and the chassis. On reassembling it makes just as much noise. Perhaps I should try to superglue one side of the bearing against the chassis? Or, as it is twelve years old buy a new one?
Good video, good explanations. What rotary tool from Lidl do you think is better (for occasional house fixes)? This cordless one or the one with wire? Best regards!
You have valid pointers! Honesty is where it is at! I take it that, you do Not recommend this Lidl Parkside tool? I purchased one in the USA and I am considering returning it. I like my Hitachi cordless Rotary tool.
I'm using it - more and more often. Things I used to do with a file, sand-paper, or a hack-saw I often do with this tool now. But there is a catch: Average pay in my country is about 1/5 (or less) than an average pay in the USA (our min. wage is about $2 per hour). So, if I could buy a Bosch for $60 instead of for around $300, I wouldn't even be looking at this tool. Likewise, if this kind of tool was something I use often (not a few times per month), I'd also look for a better option. Yet, the way things are, I bought Parkside and I must say it gets the job done. Far, far from perfect, but it does work. And I have a lot of tools I need more often that are on my shopping list, before I start saving for a better rotary tool. Hope I've explained well my logic and experience. Edit: My first choice in terms of quality, based on local prices and availability, would be Bosch (one charger and standardized batteries for different tools in their set - not sure if Hitachi does the same, but I don't know that it's available here). And this is what I had to do in order to make Parkside not as bad as it came from the box: th-cam.com/video/wewmH588Up4/w-d-xo.html
@@BikeGremlinUS Yes I understand you. I use my Hitachi for hobby Black Powder antique gunsmithing. I am pondering if I should of keep or return this Lidl tool based on what you and others write. It sounds like you are satisfied with this tool?
Briefly put: yes, I'm happy. It woks OK, so far I would say I'm pleased. Would I buy a better tool when I can afford it, BEFORE this one breaks down? No, unless I started using this tool very often. Would I buy it again, if it got stolen (so it doesn't break down too quickly, but gets missing some other way)? Probably. At least while I have more important tools still to buy. But I'd still seriously consider my budget for Bosch. Does this make sense? :)
Being that occasionally, I need the use of a Rotary tool, and for such, I already have two , a corded Dremel and cordless battery operated Hitachi, that's is enough for me. So I brought back this Lidl Parkside tool. As in my situation, two Rotary tools are enough. I have to say though, for buying a rotary tool at about 20 Euros or $20.00 USD, the multiable evaluations of this Lidl Parkside Rotary Tool, are mostly positive. I think you made valid pointers; that the accessories, like the case, grinding wheels etc, are Flimsy and often not uniformly sized are indeed substantiated. You did right to upgrade with the better Dremel various accessory Bits. For someone like a hobbyist or homeowner who needs an inexpensive Rotary tool for occasional use, this Lidl Parkside battery-powered Rotary tool looks like the ticket.
This could be a nice tool, but the parkside used the USB-C charging connector which is NOT-COMPATIBLE with anything else. You cant use other USB-C charger to charge the tool and if you use the Parkside charger for anything else with USB-C - it will damage it. Very disappointing.
It would make sense for all the manufacturers of phones and tools to make a set of standard, universal ports depending on the battery capacity and voltage (along with a set of standard battery voltages and capacities). That is not the case. Bosch battery tools use Bosch chargers. Parkside has their own. The only potential problem I see here is if a user tries to charge the battery using another USB-C charger (a 5 Volt one, for phones and similar).
@@BikeGremlinUS would you be able to check if the device supports QC2.0+ or if the USB cable it comes with just boosts a regular 5V connection to 12V? The latter would make the cable very dangerous for other devices and would be a pretty weird route to go in 2022/2023
Can i charge this with my normal phone charger? I've just bought one but didn't realize it asked for a specific charger ( it didn't come with a charger) until I looked at the manual however a friend of mine says the specifications are okay for normal phone chargers but to be honest I'm not really totally convinced. What's your opinion?
@@BikeGremlinUS it does seem to work though. I was hoping for some more definitive advice but you seem unsure yourself. The point is, I've been searching the internet for hours and I can't find any particular charger for this tool anywhere It doesn't seem to exist
Yup - a 12V battery, with a 13V charger. As far as I know, using a 5V phone charger will result in lower capacity when full, and probably ruin the battery capacity relatively quickly.
@@BikeGremlinUS any idea where i can buy a charger? I'll search the internet for hours and I can't find any charger for sale anywhere I only bought this today and I didn't realize I had to try and track down a charger until I looked in the manual. I'm thinking of taking it back to the shop
Only problem is that you can't put anything in the tool besides the small drinks bits because everything has tu much play and is to big for all except BIGEST one and BIGEST one is to big for the others so yeah nothing fits!!
I agree the plastic package / storage is rubbish... a useless plastic display piece that makes no sense for the enduser. and its really a shame as the Parkside brand is otherwise pretty nice to include a case with their powertools but sadly not with this unit

Pretty bad product review, but good work safety instruction video. You've made some good points, but afterwards you forgot to put on second glove Hahaha 😁
Yeah I bought one of those from Lidl, problem was it didn't came with a charger. And they had the audacity to ask almost the price of the tool itself for their stupid charger alone.. if you are lucky to even find one.. Yeah I returned that crap tool ASAP.. It was like 25 euro for the tool and 21 euro for the charger.. Get f**ked Lidl !
