About this deal
With my 'old' but new looking jigsaw in need of some technical attention I would be very interested to know the name of any nearby workshop that would undertake the repair of any Parkside tool.
I bought one of these from Lidl along with 2 x 2 amp batteries, charger and spare blades and so far I’m really impressed with it. I needed something to clear fallen trees and branches from paths in a local wood where we walk our dogs every day. There’s no point asking the local council to clear them because they don’t have the resources so I usually undertake these tasks on my own as do other like minded and responsible walkers.The Parkside PSSA 20-Li A1 is a saw that is designed for various cutting tasks. It is constructed with durable materials to ensure long-lasting performance. The saw features a compact and ergonomic design, making it easy to handle and maneuver. With its cordless operation, it offers flexibility and convenience during use.
Anyway, I've been boarding the loft out with the loftzone kit and although I didn't buy it specifically for that purpose, I thought I'd give it a trial run on how it cut the cross members (which for people that aren't familiar with the kits, are around 1metre long pieces of 80mm wide steel U shaped cable trunking) where needed.

The reason why there was a metal cutting blade fitted is when I boarded my loft out, I fitted the loftzone kit ontop of the rafters to raise the height up 200mm. The kit comes with steel channels to connect the plastic legs too.
However, now that I have experienced what I can only regard as a premature breakdown, I am having to re-assess just how wise it is to invest in tools that have little or no after sales service support. I would like to warn anybody that was thinking of buying a Parkside reciprocating saw that they are not worth it at any price.Gumtree.com Limited is an Appointed Representative of Compare The Market Limited who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. I bought one from Lidl on the basis that it looked the part and assuming that it is only used for rough work it would help my ageing arms. I was wrong. This saw makes light work of sawing through dead trees up to a certain size and the 2 amp batteries seem to last long enough to clear a good few fallen trees and branches that have become obstacles along the woodland paths before they run out of juice.
