Anyone know if the 12v saw would be worth buying. It'll do nothing heavy just pruning branches heavier than a hedge trimmer could handle.

I've a 12v drill that isn't very powerful

I had a 12v jigsaw that wouldn't even go through pallet wood without stopping alot so I doubt it would be great.

I use the extendable "loppers", I'm not sure of other names for them, but I got them in Lidl cheap and have used them to cut all sorts of branches etc no bother. Also use them for cutting copper cables at work too when needed, again no problem. Can sharpen them too if ever needed.

Had basically given up on getting a replacement torque gun cause I’d no reciept so I bought a new one a while ago, but fair play this arrived in the post today.

No point in me having two so if someone is looking one drop me a pm.

wee heads up that our fave £20 Parkside mini angle grinder has been updated to run on the 20v team batteries and can confirm that it rips balls

no. you don't need it but buy it.

Damn it you made me break my self imposed Lidl ban. I can confirm the grinder is decent 👍.

The drill, 2 more batteries and the pastries that I didn't go in to buy are a good job too 😂

Has anyone seen stepped drill bits in store anywhere?

Picked up the 40v leaf blower and mulcher for £60. Along with wire cups for £2 each.

I bought a 1/2" impact wrench last week, first one was returned as the torque setting button didn't work. No issues getting it replaced however the replacement wouldn't loosen wheel nuts torqued to 120nm. It says it's a 400nm wrench. Did I just get 2 dodgy ones or have people had good experiences of them? I've a few different Parkside battery tools and they have been great.

Weirdly they seem to refuse to loosen wheel nuts but will do other stuff no bother.

Same with mine. However I’ve found if you ramp it up to 400 and persevere, eventually it will loosen.

I gave up on mine. Performance was not weak, detent ball fell out, batteries died. Bought a DeWalt 899, no regrets.

Mine will still tackle most wheel nuts with a fully charged 4a battery & a good impact socket on.

It does feel it’s on its limit though so add anything sub optimal like an extension, poor technique, worn socket, crap battery, etc and it does struggle / fail.

I keep it as a back up now for air tools.
