Brushless tools now at Lidl

[Best]

Lidl in my region are selling (from tomorrow) brushless 20 volt combi drill, circular saw and angle grinder.
I believe they all come supplied each with a 5 ah battery and charger and all with 5 year warranty
The combi drill is £69.99 and the other tools are £99.99.
Not a lot of money (Hilti battery would cost as much!).
Might be of interest to those of you who don’t care about brand

Be like rocking horse sh!te. Can never get hold of anything out of Aldi or lidl.

They're on the German Lidl site but can't find anything in the UK, will try and pop in tomorrow as they usually announce what deals they have coming up.

This is U.K. (NI), but probably Lidl varies when it sells across the U.K.
I will send a link

Nice

Nice

My thoughts are they have a brushless motor which will have longer life and longer working time on battery and give higher power etc, - but the rest of the tool like gearbox, shaft, chuck would need to be tough enough.
Parkside seem to decent though, so everything looks promising for these much higher quality tools

5 year warranty not to be sniffed at.

Yes, incredible! Don’t think any other brand will match that. Brushless tools including 5.0 ah battery and charger with 5 year warranty and for little money.
If I hadn’t already got most cordless tools, I would buy all 3 of Lidl’s brushless tools. It also wouldn’t surprise me if they sell spare batteries that they will be cheap.

Some good stuff you have to get in early on first morning.
Especially on advertised clearance sale items.

Just bear in mind that their warranties normally have a DIY use only get out clause, would assume these do to.

That is correct. Still shows a confidence in the product though to give 5 year warranty. Am sure it will say it won’t cover a lot of things though.
I don’t use most power tools on a daily basis, so they should last similar to what would be considered diy enthusiast use.

As long as they are 5.0 ah

Just demonstrates how we, once again, are being screwed by the brands... Bosch 3 years for only £300 - bargain!

I can’t confirm unless I see the actual batteries myself, but the leaflet says 5.0 ah.
Or are you thinking they might not have the ah that the batteries claim?

Too early to know. We are just going to have to buy a Lidl brushless tool and see how it performs.
I would ask you to be the guinea pig, but seems my Lidl region is first to get the tools on sale

Had a look in my Lidl store today and the brushless combi drill has a 2.5 ah battery.
Combi has 60 Nm maximum torque.
All tools come in nice cases with metal locks.
Think drill has metal chuck, but I couldn’t open boxes because inside part sealed cardboard boxes.

The angle grinder and circular saw both come with 5.0 ah batteries.
Circular saw does not include saw blade, but only £4.99 for choice of blades.

I notice the impressive claimed % increase in power, run time, motor life, etc, is based on comparison with Parkside equivalent ordinary tools.

don't be to swayed by the brushless hype, my brushed 6 piece lxt gear is 10 years old and still going strong not a problem with any of the tools.
after talking to two tool reps and the local service agent i was advised to keep my old kit if its still going, and the claims of 50% extra battery life is laughable
