In this video we will take a closer look at hammer drills from Aldi and Parkside.
Representing Aldi - Ferrex PRO 40V hammer drill (Model: FBT-CCD003) with 5/2.5Ah 20/40V battery
Representing Lidl - Parkside Performance PSBSAP 20-Li B3 with 4Ah 20v smart battery

We will be performing the following tests:
- Wood drilling. With 10mm drill bit, 14mm drill bit and 35mm F orstner bit. Drills are on speed 2.
- Metal drilling. 2mm aluminium and 2.5mm steel with 8mm drill bits, regular drill bit and and industrial rated drill bit and a 10mm titanium coated drill bit. Oil applied to drilling area and speed 2 used on the drills.
- Driving screws in wood. 6x200mm torx screw and M8x160mm screw. Drills will be on speed 2 if they can handle it.
- Concrete drilling. Hammer mode and speed 2 for both drills. Drilling in to the same pieces of concrete.
- Final thoughts.

Imho a hammer drill is a specialised tool that's completely overused. They're perfect for making clean holes in tiles but shouldn't be bought if we're not doing that. The wild grinding noise of hammer mode is the sound of a gearset chewing itself to oblivion and should be reserved for when absolutely necessary, not because we don't have the right size SDS bit or because the tool can handle it, this time. A complex mechanism that by design has a limited lifespan, whether it's Ferrex or Makita. Otherwise, both these tools need to be warrantied asap! Thanks for the great review as always, keep em coming 😊

I have the Aldi Ferrex model & it's very good (Mine was on offer for just a tenner) You need to take a photo of the Till Receipt ASAP, as the printer Ink they (Aldi & Lidl) use, soon fades into a Useless, Blank piece of paper for Guarantee purposes. 📷📸

What the heck! I had no idea these existed 😮

40v should be heavier and it makes no sense for drills as they don't really require the power. I recently bought the Makita copy (gisam they claim it's 650nm which it definitely isn't) and tested it against real Makita of a similar size and to my surprise it did similar! The trigger is obviously less sensitive but for carbide grinding bits it really didn't matter! My coworker was using Makita and i really wanted to keep up so i pushed it extremely hard and it did not die!

Protip : In hard materials you shouldn't use speed 2. They actually cut better as you can apply more force into the material and you'll get a much faster cleaner whole.

A lot of people think HSS they drill high speed through steel, it just means they bit itself is safe to spin at high speed 😂

The triggering problem was solved with version b3.

[Vrabetzz]

The triggers on Parkside drills tend to have some kind of power saving feature which prevents it from registering the first press after not using the drill for a certain time. Is this what you are experiencing?

Ferret Chuck has gone on my drill the same model as in the test

[felgate]

These cheap drills aren't meant to be "Flogged to Death" & both have their place for light DIY (Have you tried turning the Broken ?, Ferrex chuck the opposite way - there's an Additional locking system on most drills, they don't tell you about !! See other YT' s on this) Might even be just the chuck, fixing bolt needs re tightening ? There are YT's on that too.

Lucky. You have all the good drills from Parkside. For years I've been wanting the 80nm one, but no luck.

[thugpigeon]

good video, you should get an aftermarket chuck for the ferrex and see if its better

[elenakana]

after a closer look to your video, i think that the parkaside 80nm is kind of mediocre. Real torgue must be at 65-70nm rougly not 80nm. Iwould have expected a greater distance in performance between these two but every test i've seen with the 80nm, shows that it is weak, very slow and less less torgue than advertised. the best overall that parkside has to offer is the 64nm psbsap 20 li c3

[SiAnon]

Cheap drills are the reason i went and spent the money on a Bosch GSB 18V-150 C 150nm. When you need to get the job done, nothing from a supermarket is going to do it.

The self locking chuck breaking was disappointing. I mean we can't complain too much considering the price and 3 years of warranty but still. Wasn't the drill from Temu, better than this? 🤔😂 p.s. The drill testing rig is nice; You better patent that asap. 😅

[RobGem]

The one that has the five year warranty do you think in 4 1/2 years? If that product goes wrong they’re gonna have the parts or service infrastructure to fix it. These products are only done as short production runs the salon one month and then you never see him again, next time when they come in the shops, the design and model adult the same goes for the one that has the three year warranty you better off just buying a brand-name like Makita Dewalt. I would say Milwaukee but they’re too expensive and here in the UK where I live you only get a 12 month warranty. With the Milwaukee You can extend it if you’re registered the product but on top of that a lot of their stuff you can’t get spares for spares costs nearly the same as a new product. These cheap drills not worth touching with a barge pole in this video unless you’re going to use them once or twice a year for a bit a light DIY

[PetyrWo]

Very good video my friend. But the drills are not good I think. The best drill I think is Parkside Hammer drill C3 60Nm that is the new version. You tested it before I know.

[forwardprogressonly]

How much ? Don't even 😂mention it

[AmirKhan-qxlr]

you let the drills wobble way too much, try and keep them vertical. if this was say a brick and you were going to use plugs afterwards, it'd not be a snug fit.

[DamX]

Only seen the first Seconds, and i'd guess Aldi already has the upper Hand, cause 4 Ah new Battery cells, against 5 Ah old Battery cell technology = The Old ones will have a way higher Output, which is already a disadvantage for the Lidl one.
Old 4Ah Lidl battery already has 60 A output, while the new "Smart" one Tops at 50 A

[wotviewer]

this is not a very good comparison as 40v against 20v is inherently skewed
