Depends in what you expect. I have a cheap and cheerful Makita battery drill that cost 65 Euros at the local DIY store. Recently, Lidl had a Parkside 20V cheap and cheerful for 20 Euros that has pretty much the same specs as my Makita, plus a basic impact drill functionality, so I bought it out of curiosity. They feel similar and do the same job, with the Makita batteries costing more than twice as much as their Parkside counterparts. Sure, I could get all the spare parts for the Makita if need be, but the Parkside with the 3 year warranty is definitely better value all things considered. My girlfriend had a 40€ Parkside hammer drill die a sudden death, but they replaced it within a week. I appreciate good quality tools and am willing to pay the corresponding price, but for something that gets used once or twice per year? I’d get a Parkside.
Huh, I just assumed they displayed Bosch and Makita
Never saw any other company here lol
Parkside is the brand from Lidl. Not great, not terrible.
From what I’ve heard they got worse recently

Parkside warranty was impressively good when I needed to use it.
They happily replaced the tool by manufacture date alone, which was great when the receipt was long gone.
