10x cheaper than the original. Likely not Wera quality but probably not 10x worse either. I’ve been quite happy with the other Parkside tools I’ve got.

    I have no experience with their cordless line of tools, but I do have their rotary tool, oscillating multitool, and hot air gun, and I’ve got no complaints about any of them. Together, they cost me less than a hundred euros. My battery-powered tools are from Makita. If I had to go with a cheaper brand, I’d probably choose Ryobi though I’m sure Parkside would be fine too.

      Got a mate who bought the Lidl cordless circular saw, jigsaw and grinder

      Yeah they’re ok for the price, but you can tell they’ve not been designed properly - really difficult to see where you’re cutting with both of the saws, and all three are woefully underpowered

      All three would fit in your handbag though

      I bought Ryobi, only a cordless drill (18v brushless) and lawn trimmer, a long time ago and I’ve always disliked them. Wanted to replace them with something like Makita/Metabo/DeWalt, but in the end it felt unnecessary to spend that much money for something I only use a few times per year, even if projects become more fun if you have tools you like.
