I've got the 2.0 going on 5 years now. Super handy to have in the house while the big toys stay in the garage. I use it for furniture, the odd hinge, occasionally tweak up a bike with it... If I do see this 2.2 come up in the centre isle I'll be grabbing it.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Useful to have at hand and reasonably priced too 👍🏻

[@AnniceFleming]

Just bought one of these today from Lidl, thanks for the demonstration.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Your welcome

[@lazmotron]

Great review. I live in the USA just outside NYC. I purchased it at Lidl and the store is always full of Germans visiting manhattan. 👍 I love the store, great deals and quality products. It's become my personal playground. 😂 Have you noticed that the screw driver looks like Deckard's Blaster from the movie Blade Runner? 🤣

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks! I didn't know Lidl was in that part of the world actually. Yea It does look like the Blaster actually lol!

[@mrbillhicks]

They have them in store this coming Sunday, still the same price 2 years on, doesn't say it's a rapid fire but I'm sure it's the same

[@PhillWyattProjects]

@@mrbillhicks yea I think there are a few variations which are very similar.

[@thewhitemoor]

Really good review and product. Thank you .

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks

[@Shandinho]

I have to say that, at a glance in the store, I mistook this item for one of the Parkside toy range I saw in Lidl before Christmas. Now I've seen the vid, I'm off back to Lidl tomorrow to get one 👍

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I think I did the same thing Andy just before Christmas 😆 I looked twice this time. Thanks Andy 👍

[@Shandinho]

@@PhillWyattProjectsgreat little review there mate. I did nearly pick up a Parkside belt sander and grinder that same day, hopefully both are of them are still in stock when i go back🤞

[@PhillWyattProjects]

@@Shandinho Thanks Andy 👍 I do exactly the same I saw a few bits but didn't get them might go back at the weekend 😆

[@Shandinho]

@@PhillWyattProjects I got one Phil, and the grinder/ belt sander 😀👍

[@PhillWyattProjects]

@@Shandinho Good call Andy 😀👍

For £12.99 this thing is great , i bought one a week or so ago to put up some flat pack furniture as i felt my dewalt drill was a bit powerfull for that and might split the wood ect. Its pretty good for putting small screws in ligth thin wood to again where you dont want to much power. This little Electric screwdriver is awsome for light application stuff as long as people dont expect to much from this its a great tool and the bit change system is great. Fansatic for flat packed stuff and light DIY i tend to stay away from cheap tools now after upgradeing most off my power tools from cheap stuff like Black and Decker to Dewalt just makes the DIY task faster and easier. However i find the parkside stuff i have used in the past is pretty decent. I really like this little screwdriver awsome bit off kit for applications i intended to buy it for.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yes I agree! Cheers!

[@Fred16721]

Good review Phil and a bargain at that price. Do I need one? No. Would I like one? A definite yes. Regards, Fred

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks Fred 👍 yea it just seems good to have being such a bargain 😃

[@bbizzle6901]

Weird question but how did you get the plastic top off? I've been struggling for ten minutes and don't want to break it

[@potatootter5088]

I have the same question.

[@potatootter5088]

I got it now. I used my fingers to "split" it apart.

[@VictorZucchini]

On that side where there is a tiny clip that sticks out, above it stick something thin metal into the seam and it will unclip that clip. On the earlier version of this screwdriver, the clip was somewhat easier to open, on the newer version that is 2.2 the cap clip doesn’t have a space to stick your fingernail to open it. Maybe that clip that I mentioned above needs a tiny bit of filing off like half of millimetre - to make a tiny space for you nail to go in and split them to open. Hope that makes sense. I had mine for about 3 years, and I still put the cap clip back every time I use it.

[@riskybusiness3413]

Interesting inexpensive device. I like the way the bits revolve and internally load for quick use. Seems pretty handy for light work. Don't think I've seen this brand before. Good review

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks 👍 yea I think it's a bargain. Really useful tool and so cheap too! This brand is sold by the Lidl supermarket here in the UK.

[@riskybusiness3413]

@@PhillWyattProjects I found it on ebay but it's $70 including shipping to USA. A bit too much but I appreciate your reply.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

@@riskybusiness3413 yea unfortunately they sell out fast in the supermarket. Then they are found selling online for a higher cost by various companies. I have seen this before.

[@riskybusiness3413]

@@PhillWyattProjects They’re available through eBay. I also noticed that there are several stores on the East Coast that sell them. I was walking through Walmart yesterday as I needed something in the tool area and I actually thought about that particular electric screwdriver. 🙂

[@pantudino14]

Nice review !

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers! 👍🏻

[@willandelfie]

How did you get the plastic cover on drill bit off?

[@marcus4752]

I can’t get it off either 😞

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I think I popped mine off with a flat headed screwdriver if I remember correctly. This is just a protective cover it is not needed.

[@willandelfie]

thank you@@PhillWyattProjects

[@danwiddison]

Mines still going strong. Didn't realise the holster actually went around the drill till now ,🤣 can't find any on eBay and seen none in Lidl for a long time

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea mine still good also. I've been using it recently. Comes in handy form time to time 👌🏻

[@danwiddison]

@@PhillWyattProjects Good to hear. I have the original and the 2.0. Never seen a 2.2 as yet. I guess hard to come by now

[@steven-vn9ui]

Broke first time I used it. It is the switch inside that changes direction. The little nub broke off when I switched direction and I was not rough.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Sorry to hear that. Mines been fine so far 🤞

[@TheCaleking]

Good thing it has a 3 year warranty 👍🏾

[@Cenotaff]

The ones I see in store now are £14.99 and no rapid feature. I'm still tempted though as I don't have a good set of screwdrivers and the impact driver doesn't need to be whacked out to tighten some screws 😅

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I suppose things have gone up quite a bit in the last 12 months unfortunately. I haven't seen this back in stores where I live. It's still a good tool even at that price in my opinion.

[@Cenotaff]

@@PhillWyattProjects There's a cordless doing the rounds in my local ones. It still comes with bits but not the rapid feature. I can't recall on the pouch/holder. With a 3 year warranty, there's not much to lose.

[@andysmith3111]

Good Review :)

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers 👍

[@davehughes8488]

Hi Phill, the charger is not supplied with this driver,what charger did you use with your tool? Thanks Dave

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Mine came with a USB cable which I plugged into a USB port in one of my plug sockets. It's a USB type C cable if I remember correctly.

[@marcus4752]

I can’t seem to get the protective cover off the end of the bit , any help?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

It is just a protective cover so a flat screwdriver should help to pop it off.

[@Barnum_Buisson_GAMING]

I bought one !! ;-)

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Nice!

[@jjenniffercounsell-yh6hp]

How does the cap come off

[@PhillWyattProjects]

It should just pop off with a bit of force. It is not required it is just part of the packaging.

[@jjenniffercounsell-yh6hp]

Thank you ever so much for replying so quickly got it off thank you

[@RamziMeziani]

in algeria 30 $

[@cactuslietuva]

lol in Lithuania it cost 25 eur.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

This was about a year ago so I guess the price might have gone up since.

[@cactuslietuva]

@@PhillWyattProjects just checked Germany lidl. It is 12 eur

[@RobertasMikelenas]

No it's not! It's 19,92 eur 😄😄😄

[@cactuslietuva]

@@RobertasMikelenas with lidl plus coupon. bet jeigu rimtai mes jau 2x geriau negu vokieciai matyt gyvenam kad tiek mokam

[@potatootter5088]

It costs 13 EUR in Estonia.

[@alpachino468]

I've had mine for about 4 months and it's now broken after light use - the plastic threads holding on the front face on has snapped. This tool is absolutely useless, it's under powered and cheaply made, hence the price tag. Need to find my receipt now to claim under warranty 😭

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Sorry to hear that. Mine is still working for now. Hope you can get a refund 🤞

[@VictorZucchini]

Have you not scanned your Lidl card? If you have scanned your Lidl card from the app, then the digital receipt is in your app. If you don’t have an app that saves receipts for you (many shops don’t offer an app that saves records of receipts), then just take a photo of your receipt that you want to keep and that is good enough as a proof and for warranty/ return.
