You're talking rubbish mate. The parkside tools at lidl come with lithium ion batteries (as opposed to that crappy ni-cad battery on the one you posted), and are interchangeable across their other range of tools. As posted above, they also have 3year no hassle warranty.
My father in law bought the 18v version and I was very impressed, although it was a bit on the weighty side. Would be perfect for the DIYer as it will remain charged for when you need it, not like the dogpoo black and decker ni-cad that will be knackered in 3-4 months.

yeah, lidl are well known across the continent for the quality of goods they sell, and military and intelligence? I take it you can fly fighter jets, captain assault or destroyer type ships, captain a nuclear sub, coordinate wars and protection across the globe with tens of thousands of personnel, even an Army chef in Baghdad uses more intelligence than the likes of you in your 9 till 5 office non job

The words quality tools and LIDL shouldnt be in the same sentence.
Some of their food is good though, just not enough variety

True, Lidl power tools are not industrial quality, but bang for buck the quality is extremely good & I've fixed stuff from aircraft to tiny printed circuit boards and DIY'd for 30 yrs. Anyone who says different has either never used stuff from lidl, a brand snob or is just talking out of their ####.
I must have six or seven parkside power tools and they have taken use & abuse but keep on going. I'd not rate them as high as Makita or Dewalt, of course, but for instance the Parkside SDS drill that I've just used to channel loads of cable conduit into concrete and cinder block performed brilliantly. Yes, a bit heavier than the competition but I'm not doing these jobs every day of the week to reap the benefits of a more expensive item.
Pay your money & take your choice, but for me decent quality and a 3 yr guarantee is unbeatable.

I'm guessing you've never tried any of them out? I've bought more than a handful over the last few years and have found them to be similar if not better quality to other big name branded diy grade tools, but often at half the price. Heat added
an extra tenner gets you an 18v, better quality drill. I suppose though you could wait a couple of weeks and they'll drop the price of these "quality tools"

Just noticed the poor torque on the B+D drill too, only one gear and the 8-10 hour charge time!

Quality and Lidl do not go together. A bit like Military and Intelligence.

I like the way you choose one aspect of my quote to reply to, just because you don't agree with wars, doesn't mean it doesn't take a massive level of intelligence to pull off every single aspect of it.
Would you mind posting your flight credentials? or the 30+ years of experience and countless masters degrees and training needed to captain a ship, or the qualifications to even be a low ranking ships cook, but yeah, it takes no intelligence to be in the military, you really have no idea.
now go back to your non job on minimum wage pushing a few scraps of paper around an office.
