"Hey honey, stopping by the grocery store on my way back, do you need anything?
"Yeah, we need onions, cereal, and a 12V Drill driver, thanks babe!" Truly living in 2100

Loved the intro, Jim!
Nothing wrong with either of them, but I would suspect the Milwaukee would have a longer usable lifespan. I still have my brushed M18 drill that I use at home, but I keep the brushless M18 at work since it gets used way more.
Both would be fine for homeowner light duty use. However, anyone wanting to do more work, more often, I can see them outgrowing both of these.
Thanks again, Jim!

Parkside is a home tool brand, not construction brand and especially not the 12V series.

The 20V is plenty for what 90% of people need, and their Performance 20V series is brushless, Bluetooth and got other details that is spared on their cheaper standard 20v series.

Remember Parkside is very very cheap, i love that anyone can afford the tools they need to fix things in their home .
I bought a Parkside telescopic hedge trimmer and use it to cut hedges for 3 elderly disabled neighbors (for free of course).
Thanks for existing Parkside 👌

European here. The old man has bought many of these parkside drills 12v. We use 2 at work, we had 2 during the year we built my house, then now I have one at home and he has one in his trailer and one in his boat. After more than a year of abuse from the house making one of them gave up but the other one is still going however the soft trigger doesnt work anymore on the one thats still going so it goes to full go when you press it wich is annoying.

The other 4 that we have are going well still. They have however not been abused on a construction site, more small stuff every other day around the company. Ive had experience with other parkside stuff too but the only thing that Ive liked about them really is their drills. Their 20v drills are good too but some can be a bit clunky.

Angle grinder just stalled on me when I was cutting rebar, jigsaw didnt work at all out of the box etc. I come from a background in construction where I used milwaukee, dewalt, bosch, hilti and makita before so I know what a good tool is suppoused to feel.

Parkside also has a pro level platform (both 12v & 20v) which is quite impressive for it's price.

I think the Parkside might be compatible with Metabo attachments.

I've tried to convince my friend who bought a corded drill to return it and get a cordless drill or impact. Because with a corded, you have to find a plug, use an extention if you can't reach the spot you're drilling, and it will strip the screw when it slows down. He didn't care and his gf supported his idea of having his first drill (because people are dumb and HAVE to support their SO even if their choices are bad). I told him that having any tool is better than none, but the price paid, (probably $25 or $30), he could get a cordless that he'll actually want to use instead of dragging out a long cord just to do a simple task. Like vacuuming. Having to unwind and guide the Lline while cleaning really quickly isn't as nice as just picking up a cordless vac and spot cleaning around baseboards or a spilled area that takes less than a minute and you hang it back up on the wall. Even a battery operated (4x AA or 4v li-ion) hand screwdriver is good to have if you're putting together a shelf or furniture. Hand fatigue sets in quickly and stays for a few days for people who DONT work with constant turning or unwinding. I would wonder how long that battery holds a charge over the years, but again, I think a person that uses a cheap cordless or battery screwdriver will only use it a few times a year and battery usage will be scarce.

I've owned the Milwaukee you have there and ultimately sold it to buy the brushed model, which I wish I had just purchased in the first place. It wasn't awful but it was lacking on power compared to what I wanted. Can't say for parkside, but if all you need to do is drive a screw every now and then, either are probably good.

My dad loves this stuff in London but they never last

[louisd]

They are definitely beneath me because they are brushed. :) My current drills are a Milwaukee M18 Fuel, and am expecting the M12 Fuel today. The M12 Fuel will work happily along with my M12 Fuel impact driver. Yes, I have a problem. :)

Hello again Philly Fixed
Thank you for another Great Video 👍

[websurfer]

Parkside tools are fantastic, and the prices are insanely cheap!

[NickyP]

Would love to see the Hyper Tough 12v Impact driver and drill driver from Walmart tested against the M12.

[moparkr]

i would definately buy the parkside, mainly because i'm cheap. seems like the parkside was just a little behind the milwaukee but price is a big factor in my purchases. i have brushless kobalts for work, brushless and brushed metabo/hitachi at home, brushless deko drills for home and even the 12v brushed warrior drill for home. i know "mancaver tools" is ALWAYS bashing brushed tools, but i reach for the little warrior 9/10 times beacuse even tough it was cheap ($9 black friday sale) it just WORKS.

If you want a tool that gets you through a job more quickly and has a lot of power, get the Milwaukee fuel. Even the M12 fuel drill driver and impact driver blows all 18 volt brushed drills and impact drivers out of the water and it even beats some 18 volt brushless ones. I personally prefer a brushless tool because of the extra power, speed, and versatility. My M12 gen 3 fuel hammer drill delivers maximum torque regardless of how hard or lightly I pull the trigger which greatly improves precision when you’re driving screws that are too weak for the impact driver or for starting a medium to large drill bit.

[victorortega]

Have that Milwaukee drill driver is not that powerful but it gets the job done on house hold stuff.. I like it…

[timothyandrewbutler]

Lidl is more Eastern Germany and Poland Aldi brand. Actually pretty decent.

[louiewiessv]

I use brushed m12 everyday no problems

[Joethetoolguy]

I’ve always like I could beat hole into the wood faster than that m12 could 😅

[petersavage]

Price ? Here in Europe the park side can be had for 29.99 euros which is is 29. 71 dollars at the moment . What do you pay for the Milwaukee?
