    I went and got the 4 in 1 but the Charger that comes with the 2A battery …I went and got the 4 in 1 but the Charger that comes with the 2A battery included for £19.99 seems to only be rated to 2.5A, but I also wanted a 4A battery, I wasn't sure if the 2.5A charger would be suitable for the 4A battery, So I bought the separate charger which claims to charge 4.5A, and it does seem to look bigger. I ended up getting 2 x 2A and 1 x 4A. I also ended up buying the impact driver, leaf blower, and the soldering iron, so in the end the so called bargain drill and batteries ended up costing me £147.92.The drill itself seems OK, the plastic box its housed in is terrible, the holders for the screw bits don't hold, yet are tough to put back in, and the saw blades had all vanished down a thin gap in side a narrow and terribly designed compartment with super sharp edges that nick your skin. Took me ages to fish the blades out.


    the 2Ah & 4Ah batteries can be used on ANY of the chargers, the only thing that changes is the batteries charging time gets longer the lower the amp of the charger.

    2.4A charger says 60 mins for the 2Ah bat ( does not state a 4Ah battery time as it was included with a 2Ah battery but you can have a good guess from the 4.5A charger times. ( i have not had issue bunging 4Ah batteries on 2.4A chargers - may even be better for the life of the batteries if you are not in a rush to recharge too ) the 4.5A chargers are good for quick top-ups in order to keep working etc

    4.5A charger states between 35 & 45 minutes for a 2Ah battery ( depends which 4.5A charger manual i look in ) & 30 mins for a quick top-up ready to use - assuming about 80% fill & both agree on the 4Ah battery @ 60 minutes so the extra charger purchase will save you time on the power hungry devices

    The 4ah I bought today has load balancing on the box but the 2ah/charger …The 4ah I bought today has load balancing on the box but the 2ah/charger combo doesn't so maybe it's only the batteries on their own that do?



    depends which combo box version you got as there has been a few ( if it was in a plastic surround, then its the old style ) if it was in a cardboard box it could be oldish or new ( but i do beleive the new one has the balancing on it ) but the other way to tell is to check the battery itself

    the old bats are version A1, the new bats are version B1 for the 2Ah range

    A3 old & B3 New for the 4Ah range ( another easy to spot the difference on the 4Ah bats as well, the older A3's have a serial number, the newer B3's dont, but instead they have a QR code in the top right of the label - seems to be different QR on each of mine ) there is also an A2 range battery which i have never seen sold but its mentioned in the charger compatability list & a quick google suggests is a 3Ah unit the same physical size as a 4Ah battery now so i am assuming old & no longer made etc

    as for the chargers

    A1 - 2.4A - normally supplied with the 2Ah batteries in the plastic packs early 2019 build dates on mine that i have seen so far - not checked em all
    A2 - 3.5A - sold on its own if memory serves - mid 2020 build date on mine
    A3 - 4.5A with cooling fan - sold on its own if i remember right & does not fit in all the tools boxes due to the fan changing the shape slightly but fits in some - mid 2020 build dates on mine
    A4 - 2.4A - sold in a 2Ah battery & charger Bundle in cardboard box late 2020 build date on mine had a balancing logo on the box somewhere if memory serves

    B1 - 4.5A with cooling fan on back - sold seperate but late 2020 build date same as the A4 chargers i have - same problem as A3's with regards fitting in only some tool boxes due to the fan

    there is also the dual charger labelled with A1 - 1st bit of model number changes though ( which i would hazard a guess was just 2 single A3 units put into 1 bigger package - rather handy for power hungry device use actually as you can have 3 bats on the go, 2 charging at various levels, & 1 in use in the tool & also less sockets needed for all the single chargers then lol (edited)

    i cant comment on this particular product as i dont have it ( got the various tools seperate instead )

    but what i can tell you is that this drill does not have a hammer function so not the best for masonry/brick & more aimed at woodwork or metalwork etc ( the drill unit i had from parkside without hammer mode was fine for drilling holes in wood but preferred burning up the drill bits and not much else when attempting brickwork - so i upgraded to the version with hammer function as i needed brickwork holes too )

    as for lasting power, if its anything like the plain old drill i had then it was good for many wood holes & screw insert/removes even on a 2Ah battery, ( i got 23 holes into brick with the next model up in on 1 bar of 4ah battery but conversly, the multitool was happy to drain the battery when stressed, the sander happily polished my car twice recently on less than half a 2ah battery ( different tools mind but its the stressing of the tool that drains the battery the most etc. )

    drill 10 holes into a soft wood, it may not even notice you have used it, drill 10 into mahogony or other such dense wood & it will use more battery.

    I've got one. The blades for the multitool are the same as the DeWalt one we have at work. I think it's a universal fitting. The erbauer blades from Screwfix fit them both. And the saber saw ones look universal, I think again they are the same fittings as the Screwfix erbauer blades. However I haven't actually tried any other blades on them. (edited)

    I have the previous version of this with 14.4V battery. It's really good for the price, but I wish I'd got an extra battery or two. It's frustrating when it runs out halfway through a job and I have to wait an hour or two for the battery to charge.

    I have a parkside combi drill already but this looks tempting, but then I realised it's going to be a faff switching between the different heads when working on a project. It's definitely more expensive to have them separate, but probably more efficient when putting them to use.

    from the review i have seen online about it ( in the tools not to buy bit ) the reviewer had mixed feelings about it.

    he loved it as it just worked as needed & could not fault its ability & was his normal goto drill BUT had to put it in the not to buy list as he is on his 3rd under warranty so far & expects it will suffer the same fault soon out of warranty. ( heaped high praise on LIDL customer service & the warranty service from the main distributer on the handling of all his claims etc too )

    ( basically the fault he had suffered on multiple units was that the switch to select drill & hammer drill mode broke/stopped working so you were then stuck in whatever mode it failed in at the time - he had resigned it to a hammer only drill & was not messing with the switch anymore as a solution lol ) (edited)

    There's a newer revision of the chargers as well.

    To be honest even the older ones are great. The newer ones are slightly better. But if you're buying one, then certainly buy the newer ones.

    cant tell you which is best ( they will all work )

    for a 4Ah battery the one in the middle sold on its own ( PLG 20 B1 ) will be the fastest as its 4.5A & is the newest model that i know of or should i say own ( for now lol - no doubt that may change eventually when they get even more stuff in ) & it will also charge 2Ah batteries too

    as for the 2Ah with charger kits. both kits are the current range with balancing battery ( PAP 20 B1 )

    the bottom one with PLG 20 A4 is the same style as all the rest of the older 2Ah bat & charger kits but i assume a slighlty different revision internally for this year.

    the one at the top is a revised look charger PLG 20 C3 ( & is one i have not yet seen in any stores i have frequented ( but honestly not looked too hard after i dropped on a bunch of 2019 stock of A1 charger & A1 batteries - work perfect & at £5 per kit was rude to say no to ( so i bought 1 or 12 as you do ) I would assume it would be pretty much the same internals as all the other chargers but a new shape to the outside of the charger & that would be about it ( both are 2.4A ).

    Basically for the charger, my advise is if you are only keeping 1 & not putting it in any of the storage cases with the tools then keep the B1 4.5A charger as it will charge the batteries faster ( it wont fit in all the tool kits as its a different shape due to having a fan in the back to cool it - it does fit in some toolkits though, its hit & miss which ones )

    ANY of the 3 in the picture would be perfectly fine though


    just seen in the charging times sheet above posted by Busterdan that it lists the PLG20C3 in that charger list, it does not list the A4 so i would ASSUME from that the A4 is the newest revision to date but closely followed by the C3 etc - like i say, most likely the same internals, just a different out cover on the c3 lol (edited)

    Hey, thanks for the detailed reply, I appreciate it so much! As you can probably see from my basket, I ended up buying loads including the angle grinder, torch, soldering iron and a 4ah battery. I did not buy a charger, because I didn't know which to get!

    From the looks of it, I'll probs be going for the 4.5A PLG 20 B1. I'm just debating if I went down this individual route vs the bundle, buying the 2ah battery will cost me an extra £3 which I don't mind.

    Would it make sense to purchase another 4ah battery (so I'll have 2 x4ah), or would a 2ah suffice? I'll have the 4ah for the grinder, but I'm not sure if having purely 4ah battery's would be good idea if I bought their hand power tools (weight e.c.t)

    it will depend what you are doing with the tools as to what batteries combo i would say is best.

    if your just going to be doing a few drill holes & screws into a fence or something with an occasional grind/cut with the grinder then a 2Ah & a 4Ah will probably be fine.

    if you plan on doing loads of work with cordless tools one day then i would advise at least 2 of each battery & a couple of chargers to make sure you dont have too much down time ( no need to buy loads of batteries & chargers now though )

    if you have a 4Ah battery now, i would buy either of the 2ah battery & charger combo's & then keep ur eyes peeled for lone or dual 4.5A charger deals later as well as cheap battery additions - see how you get on with 1 of each battery & upgrade as needed if you find you run out of power - as you say, smaller powertools like the impact driver will probably be more comfortable with a smaller battery if long runtime is not required.

    when i 1st started with the powertools i found i was fine for minor tasks with few batteries but one day after burning through my 1 4Ah battery with the circular saw & both my 2Ah batteries with the drill fixing together the cut wood into a nice partition wall frame & securing it to the brick walls etc i had to swap to mains tools for a while to carry on doing stuff until the 1st 2 bats had finished charging - i was just not prepared for the new cordless era that day lol

    after that i went a little OTT & ended up with 4x of each battery just to be safe as i did not want to be caught out again ( & since then i aint used em as much as i did that day so was a waste after all but better safe than idle lol ) - i also dropped on a couple of Dual 4.5A chargers ( 1@ 30% off & 1 all the way down to £5 long after the powertools had vanished from shelves so worth keeping ur eyes open on every visit for bargains )

    more recently since then though i have gone a little insane & now have at least a 2Ah battery & a 2.4A charger in each & every toolbox, helped immensly by the fact i dropped on one store flogging off the 2019 stock A1 bats & charger kits down to £5 so i stocked up - i did however on the most recent diy event re-inforce the 4Ah battery stock by another 2 bats for the grinder alone as it is a power hog by all accounts but at least for now my 20v tools purchases from now on are going to be tool only as i am battery'd up to high hell ( same goes for the 12V tools too as i have plenty of bats now to keep me working on most tasks i could think of )



    ps, glad its not just me that goes in & fills the trolley at the DIY cordless powertool events lol i have a cupboard full of 20V & a shelf full of 12V tools ( strangely though i have managed to use pretty much all of them at least once since purchase - recent buys not included yet - some of them much more often though - even more strange though is the fact i have 5 Cordless drills lol - 2 SDS & 2 Hammerdrills ( 1x normal & 1x Professional of each ) & also a 12V drill driver unit - bought it as a put-on till the 20V impact driver came along & grown to like it alot actually - if more grunt or impacts aint needed then it will prob remain the goto screwdriver for a while yet too.

    4a one is the best to get.

    It will charge the 2ah and 4ah batteries very well and safely.
    P. S. I don't know which store you're in, but all our local ones can't even advertise this stock as it gets stolen Fast!. (edited)

    Cheers for this, the 4.5a charger it is then.

    I was surprised, my store had a TWO dedicated racks full of parkside stuff. I was expecting it to be laid bare, but there was pretty much everything in stock!

    I'm just debating if it's worth getting the impact driver ( I don't really drill into wood and I do mostly diy car work so the impact wrench is better suited, but have a tonne of impact bits) and perhaps even the multi-tool too. Seems like even if I buy it and realise I don't need it, I can still sell it on over cost price which is strange. (edited)

    The impact driver is lovely. If there's a DIY project my dad will hang around just so he can take out some bolts, screws, etc. He loves it more than me!
