Lidl Parkside Cordless Chainsaw PKSA 20 LI A1 Review update

[@sigmatic_cartel7780]

Copped myself one of these yesterday & couldn’t be happier, I’ve only used petrol saws in the past (mainly makita’s) & honestly the parkside delivered a lot more than expected

[@BensWorkshop]

All things considered it's a great saw. I use it for small jobs where I really can't be bothered to get out the petrol one, mix up the fuel etc... which will, increasingly, I suspect be most jobs. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

True beast machine. I bought one of this Parkside chainsaw 20v PKSA20-LIC3 Mid May 2024, luckily the one I bought was the last one in my local Lydl. I think Lydl stopped selling this series. but there's a new one but it's smaller. There are also some others from Parkside called Pruner for long reach branch cuts. They are good stuff the product items made by Parkside.

[@BensWorkshop]

Certainly a good useful machine. Many thanks for watching, please like share and subscribe!

I definitely need one of those next time they have them - although I'll have top get the batteries and charger too because I don't have anything from that range. Perfect for the sort of job you were doing and that's about all I'll need it for - I'm not planning to go into tree felling or anything like that. Quiet is also good - people do tend to get upset when there's a small petrol engine running nearby.

[@BensWorkshop]

Particularly a chain saw. They do have a horrible noise to them.

[@GrumpyTim]

@@BensWorkshop I've seen a few vintage ones that sound a bit better but they look heavy, really heavy!!!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Timberrrrrrrrr!!, that's not a lazeeee Sunday Afternoon Ben!!!!!! Nice chainsaw. Take Care Kev

[@BensWorkshop]

Cheers. Got up a bit of a sweat to be fair! Many thanks for watching!

[@jameslynch2599]

I had just started uaing mine when the chain came off. I reattached it but now it is significantly less effective at cutting through. Any ideas what coukd be wrong?

[@BensWorkshop]

Is the chain the right way round? If it is the wrong way round that will cause all sorts of problems. Also is the chain tightened correctly? Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

@@BensWorkshop chain was wrong way around, thank you so much!

[@BensWorkshop]

You are very welcome!

[@s-s-p704]

So , that stump, was dry and the chainsaw made light work of it , I just wonder how it would work on wet logs ???

[@BensWorkshop]

alas I don't have any at the moment to try it on. when the tips are properly open I do have several large branches to trim that over hang my neighbor's garden, I can film chopping those up if it helps.

[@s-s-p704]

@@BensWorkshop why not ,go for it 👍

[@BensWorkshop]

OK, I will.

[@foxtrotvictorsix8996]

Ben is it possile to buy a longer bar and chain to fit this model and would there be any issues with it

[@BensWorkshop]

Not tried it so can't answer if it is possible. As to the issue of problems, well you would need more power and as you don't have it might degrade the motor. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

[@foxtrotvictorsix8996]

Thanks for quick response I understand

[@BensWorkshop]

No probem.

[@anthonykandes9683]

Got one, Mine doesn't work on a 4 amp, only on a 2 amp, bumer , Top demo, Keep up the good work,

[@BensWorkshop]

That's very very odd that it works on a 2AH battery but not a 4AH one.

[@anthonykandes9683]

The 4amp works in my Parkside drill, pain, 😔

[@BensWorkshop]

That is very odd.

[@zmeicorp]

You should use to warranty.You won't be able to use the full capacity of the chainsaw with just a 2amp battery, for me this is not good.

[@seamusmurphy3383]

Hi. I am very late in asking a question, so apologies. Roughly, how long does the battery last?

[@BensWorkshop]

There's no time limit on asking questions. Difficult to tell, you could easily fell and cut up a small tree, say 20 foot. In the jobs I have used it for I have not run out of battery. PS, you have asked the same question twice.... Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

[@dodgerboe]

Could I chop up my neighbour with this ... she’s a big boned porker and her little boyfriend on one full charge ...? Seems cheaper option than paying for a couple of fellows from the pub who might struggle chop cleanly into a bag and may want extra for the hush hush. Any thoughts gladly received ,as for oil should I use olive ,baby oil or just go dry ?

[@BensWorkshop]

I am not in a position to make a recommendation for your purpose....

Great little tool mate

[@BensWorkshop]

Cheers, it isn't bad for fifty quid.

[@AlanBradley-nr3ch]

@@BensWorkshop Great little saw, but used all the chainsaw oil in one afternoon, can one use ordinary chainsaw oil instead of the bio oil provided?

[@BensWorkshop]

@@AlanBradley-nr3ch You can use any chain saw oil that you wish. It is a good handy saw. Tip when commenting on a video.

Hello guys, Have you noticed any problems after a long year use?

[@BensWorkshop]

I use it occasionally and have not had any problems. Have you had any? Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

[@apostolostheodorou4962]

@@BensWorkshop Thank you for your answer. I am thinking of buing it and your opion accounts for me.

[@BensWorkshop]

@@apostolostheodorou4962 no worries. I only use it for light use.

[@alvarokerosene6257]

I really liked that chainsaw

[@BensWorkshop]

It is very handy for a small chainsaw for small jobs. No fussing over fuel, just plug in a battery and go. Thanks for watching.

[@alvarokerosene6257]

Very interesting not to have to handle fuel.

[@MrZimmaframe]

It looks kind of weak if i am being honest. I have the Parkside 20v impact driver which is great would highly recommend, i have the 20v 1/2 inch impact wrench which i would highly recommend, the 20v angle grinder which is great if you don't push too hard, but i wouldn't recommend the 20v drill normal parkside or parkside performance tbh i have had both and the chuck centering is just awful, i thought it would be better on the parkside performance as it cost me £100 for the kit but the chuck really isn't any better for the extra money which sad/ annoyed about, it will be getting returned tbh if it can't be fixed. Also i have the 20v circular saw and the blade is 90 degrees but the actual direction of the blade isn't straight so it doesn't cut properly so that will be going back soon too, or replace it with another one if that doesn't have the same issue. As of the 5th of April they will have a few DIY things in like the circular saw, 20v parkside performance sds drill (apparently has had issues when it was sold in Europe the motor smoking and burning not good, i think there is a video of it happening to someone of youtube.) and a 20v heat gun which will be interesting to try lol.

[@BensWorkshop]

The chainsaw is fine for what it is. You do need the 4AH battery though. I have had no such issue with any of the drills, though I do not have the big battery SDS drill (I do have its mains powered equivalent which is great).

[@MrZimmaframe]

@@BensWorkshop If you put a long bit in the chuck how much cam out / wobble is there in the tip? As I have had 3 of the older 20v combi drills all having horrible drill wobble and the parkside performance which also has it.

[@BensWorkshop]

@@MrZimmaframe None. I do get it in my Parkside pillar drill though. (Which I have replaced with a much heavier second hand device)

[@themowerman]

Yo mate not bad for around the garden

[@BensWorkshop]

Not bad at all, particularly for small jobs.

[@samsgarage1716]

I still prefer the gas one but that’s cool for light trimming.

[@BensWorkshop]

It's good for small jobs, for a whole bunch of reasons. It you have a lot of tree to cut down then yes, I would get out the petrol one. I do have to say it is quiet though!

[@arafatmotogarage]
