Grabbed a few bargains

I don't normally buy Parkside tools anymore but popped in for some cheese and came out with three new power tools I'll keep in my shed for handiness.

All reduced to £10 each. I already have two 18v batteries and charger for the multi tool and a 12v charger. I just need to grab a 12v battery for the stapler and drill.

Needless to say I forgot the cheese

£10 each? You will have to make a demo vid and let us know how you get on with them.

I'll probably barely use them mate. It'll save me walking to my tool trailer to get out my DeWalts. Couldn't pass up the chance though at a tenner each.

I was thinking of getting the stapler, let me know if it’s any good or a pile of poo.

Thanks

Blimey that's good! Not jealous at all! lol

I have been quite happy with my parkside tools. I have a few of their 12v cordless (18/20v is too heavy and bulky for most of my work) and none have broken yet. I have the new drill like you have got, it's got a weird angle on the handle that means it isn't as ergonomic or comfortable as their old design. I wouldn't want to use it all day like that but for odd jobs and quick fixes it works fine. I really like the quick remove chuck, I have 3 drills with that and it really does make some jobs so much easier as I can have 4 different bits set up and ready to do but only need 1 drill.
