I've owned 4 tools from #Lidl (Parkside branded) and the 3rd one has just failed. This is a terrible failure rate for items that had light use. Won't be buying anything else from #Parkside.

The last remaining tool is a 3-pin mains socket tester.

@recantha a friend of mine buys loads of Parkside power tools and loves them. Not sure if I've just been really unlucky.

@MattHawkins had decent success with Parkside - lawnmower going great after 3 years along with other manual tools and other DIY bits.. but my cordless hedgetrimmer engine burned out in less than a year (and I had 2 batteries - so gonna buy another). Will be keeping the receipt on the next one 🤞
