China Tools - Topshak TS-PW1 Brushless Impact Wrench

[@arteepee]

I think the most interesting thing that you didn't really mention is the fact that, compared to your Einhell (and also my DeWalt) you have a combined square drive and hex drive. Most useful if, like me you do a bunch of different tasks and cannot afford dedicated tools for each. Really interested to see the long term review! :-) Richard UK

Hmm true, only showed what I would be using the tool for 🤔

[@PotDucky]

BOSCH does a similar system if you're looking for a more proven brand. (obviously at triple the price with battery!)

[@markduggan3451]

Looks like a great alternative to the expensive ones.

[@CasualDIY]

On face value it seems that way, time will tell how it holds up.

I bought a vacuum of Topshak (dry and wet) and i in love with it! I don't know if it was an error but i bought it for 30-35€. They try to cancel my irder and later they changed the price quickly. I was thinking about buying one impact driver of topshak but finally i bought a parkside performance.

[@CasualDIY]

So the brand could have a decent quality then 🤔 maybe I'll ask them to send some more tools from that brand and we can see if it is any good

[@lcjrio]

@@CasualDIY I spent 1 year in my workshop (no more). Maybe my awesome impression is due to my particular price-performance ratio 🙂 i can't confirm that is a great brand but I'm walking in that direction

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome review, Tomasz! 😃 Pretty interesting tool indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you kindly for watching. Keep safe👍

Nice little review thanks - Let's see though if you're still using it in 12 months time? I like the spade bit trial, actually looked better using the impact driver than a normal drill and wobbling it round in circles to get spade bit to cut - Nice one my friend... Workshop looks super bright BTW and excellent video quality.

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you kindly. Yes I will revisit the tool in some time, after I had enough experience using it. Unless it breaks before 😂

[@michaelblackmore883]

Did you check for grease in the front impact section? Several reviews on Banggood suggest it isn't packed with grease which would probably lead to early failure.

[@CasualDIY]

No I didn't check that, I'll have a look 👍

[@jojacobs4355]

Do brushless tools actually require grease though. I’m inclined to say it doesn’t

[@michaelblackmore883]

@@jojacobs4355 I think so. The design of the motor won't affect the function of the gearbox which will always need lubrication of the gears if they are metal.

[@jojacobs4355]

@@michaelblackmore883 Based from what I've found on the net. The brushless engine itself does not need lubrication since they are sealed. The gearbox is another story, and like you said, seems only logical it needs lubrication.

[@malcolmmarks7374]

The square drive on these impact drivers are designed for use with sockets. Try it out by changing a wheel on a car/van especially tightening the wheel nuts/bolts up to the required torque. Many mechanics use these types of tools in their industry ie Mac Tools, Snap-On. Compare it to either of these and you will get a true comparison.

[@CasualDIY]

Yes I know, I don't have the right keys for it hence I didn't show that.

[@adwol48]

that tool is basically a makita clone have one myself its okay but prefer my ryobi brushless impact wrench. Mine takes a makita battery would be interesting to see if this one can to.

[@CasualDIY]

I thought it was a clone, question is how good of a clone

[@donaldsaunders4736]

Love to have one but I guess the price in Canada will be costly to buy. Thanks for the review 👍

[@geoffreycoan]

I think this tool would be suitable for someone who doesn’t have any existing 18v battery tools, and for an all-inclusive of impact driver, battery and charger, for £47, its a good price. But, if you are already have some 18v tools on an existing platform then its better to remain on that platform than buy another tool and battery combination. I’m on the Dewalt platform and their bare tool brushless impact driver DCF887N is just £64, or the brushed DCF815N is £54. You’re getting a higher quality tool with 3 years warranty which I’d definitely prefer than having to deal with Banggood/China to return it if there was a problem. Even your Einhell is only £54 for the bare tool or £110 with a battery & charger.

[@CasualDIY]

Absolutely right.

[@barry.w.christie]

People are quick to comment on non-brand Chinese tools, not realising that they are probably a copy of a branded product at a much reduced price ... as you pointed out, nearly everything is made in China these days!! Most of the branded tools are way overpriced, Festool being the worst ... but it's the name you are paying for, the quality isn't always guaranteed.

[@CasualDIY]

That is very very true 👍

[@malcolmdsouza4463]

Any update on the tool after 2 months

[@CasualDIY]

Surprisingly still all good with no issues.

[@pedromarquezim]

voce tem muito o que aprender com o canal brasileiro 123 fernando

[@CasualDIY]

I rather to learn from my own experiences👍

[@vs77mail]

I like Makita, so if it takes Makita batteries, then I will try it as a jobsite tool. So if I break or loos. Great review, and thanks for sharing.

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you for watching
