[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1079648, member: 176704"] OTOH, I have "quite a few" Lidl Parkside 12V tools, 2AH batteries and chargers, and they are actually "not that bad" for the occasional needs that I have for them [I](especially the very small anglegrinder and the small "garden saw/"sabre saw" which are very handy when I don't need the "big guys" that I also have because they use the same discs and blades as the latter and are they are very useful in tight spaces :D ).[/I] They also come with a 3yr warrantee - albeit that it can take "some protracted effort" to claim on that via Lidl, as I found out recently when I [I]finally[/I] managed to get a replacement metal cut-off saw out of Kompenass (the actual "supplier" to Lidl) after the motor burnt out :(. So when I bought the latest couple of tools from that range of tools, I didn't buy a charger but I did buy a bigger 4AH battery. BTW: there are two ranges ("old" and "new") of those tools, and the batteries from the two ranges aren't supposed to be interchangeable - but they actually are if you slice off the extra splines on the later ones (!), but you have then to be careful how you fit them into the older chargers (get it wrong and there can be "smoke"! :D ).
