That's odd, I was in there on Sunday and there were none, either I'm blind or they've re-stocked.
They wouldn't have them out though as its only from this Monday?

There were quite a few in Bangor the other day, surprisingly. Would need to check today tho before you waste a journey.

Ballymoney had a load on Monday. I'll be back in today and will take a look although that's probably a bit far for you.

Couldn't get a leaf blower in Ballymoney but did treat myself to the impact driver and a double charger (still loads of both the driver and double chargers if anyone else is looking).
If anyone spots a leaf blower in Ballymena, Coleraine or Portrush let me know please.

None in Limavady
Tbh used to love Parkside tools
Went to use the drill last night
Battery from it dead. Tried to charge. Green n red flashing lights means battery is ****ed
Tried the impact gun battery
Same issue
Read some stuff online you can jump the battery as charger won't move it from being fully dead. So need to buy 1 new battery then jump the other 2 then charge.
100 quid high Street voucher might go on a decent drill

The drill is about the only parkside tool I own that I would say felt a bit crap.
But it was £20 and has had a hard enough time and still seems to work.
Also had a battery go but they’re £12.99 each at the minute so it’s one of those things where it’s kind of forgiveable at the price point.
My biggest gripe is storing them all. The blow moulded cases are a pain and there doesn’t seem to be a good way of storing them in a way that they can be moved from the workshop out to wherever I’m working. I’ve a modular cart coming later today that will hopefully sort that problem out.

Yea all those big boxes they come in i bin. Normally just have them lined up on a shelf.
But wee cart trolley would be the job!
Yea might have to nip in and buy a new battery and charger for all the price
Same, I am only a light DIY'er so the tools definitely don't see much action.
The drill has been used to throw up about 200 fencing boards and about 5 or 6 times in the house for hanging mirrors.
The chuck section circled just falls out of it now.
Its annoying, but at the same time for all I will ever use it I don't need to be buying a DeWalt / Milwaukee etc.

There is 2 drills at £20. One with and one without hammer setting.
They'll be the ones laughing when you land out with the bubbly choc and a chainsaw
You never come out with just your free biscuits
Btw if anyone gets the red and green flashing light on charger when charging battery's. There is a fix lol
Take a charged battery. Bit of wire with 2 spades ends on each end. Connect charged battery to uncharged one. Let it sit for a minute or two. Then plug it into charger.
Brought both my battery's back to life
