Its part of a power tool series sharing the same charger and battery.
Also available is a jigsaw and circular saw.
Would be better if they offered batteries aswell,seems they want people to buy an additional tool to get a second battery.

Lidl are usually good with returns.
The drill itself looks reasonable spec but if its limited by one low capacity battery then not so good. Getting additional batteries in the future will be more difficult to being a shop branded product although its possible Einhell do replacement batteries suitable for this that match the batteries of the tools they source for Aldi and Lidl.
I have the 10v Bosch drill £50 from B&Q a good compact drill,the Parkside drill is larger and probably a little more powerfull.
The Parkside drill is cheaper with a longer warranty.
Both should be good for home use depending if you need the highest power or prefer the compact size of the Bosch.

That's a poor price for a single low capacity battery. You'd be better off putting that £26 plus the cost of the lidl drill towards a better drill that comes with 2 batteries or a branded drill with only one higher capacity battery.
You can often get discounted batteries for common models on ebay.
Could you recommend a better drill for the same price?

The other deal will eventually be "spammed" but there's something massively wrong with the HUKD system of deal posting/monitoring which is getting worse!
It's becoming DeFacebook clone! (edited)
An even better deal then, nice to see the price has come down, makes it even more attractive.
Parkside are sourced through einhell tools which is a low end chinese tool importer based in germany. Doesn't mean they are bad tools but shop brand quality.
That said the spec of the drill looks really good the only compromise seems to be a low capacity single battery. Ordering from kompass seems poor value for additional batteries if you are only buying one. I assume its £21.50 including postage for a single 1.3Ah battery.
The real bargain here is if you also need cordless jigsaw or circular saw. That way you end up with the 2 batteries that makes either tool more practical.

Yes perfect, reduce the speed to slow and lower the torque setting so you don't over do it. The drill will click when it has reached the torque you have set.
IF the spare batteries also carry a 3 year warranty - then this is a fantastic deal
From my experience Eckman rechargeable batteries (£28) last a max of 18 months - regardless of use
Batteries are normally not guaranteed as they are classed as consumables and can be mishandled. Here is a quote from the manual:-
The warranty only covers claims for material and manufacturing defects, not for damage sustained during transport, components subject to wear and tear or damage to fragile components such as switches or batteries. This appliance is intended solely for private use and not for commercial purposes.
No manufacturer will guarantee batteries as far as I know.
I think you have been unlucky with your batteries,you can get a dud one which will fail after little use,but generally they last well, some of mine are over 3yrs old.
Exeter Wonford only had 2 circular saws left (probably will restock soon)
I've had four Eckman rechargeable batteries fail in the last 3 years without overuse or overcharging
I'm on number five now and at £28 a time I've spent more on the batteries than the garden tools that they power oO
Just used a voucher to purchase the drill and a pot of cream for £35.79
