Crofter Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 My ten+ year old 'Parksde' (Lidl) SDS drill seems to have finally bitten the dust, in a literal sense I suspect. I've re-bushed it once, but the new bushes didn't last very long and in use it is very, very, sparky, or just fails to work at all unless given a tactical thump. I've resorted to opening it up and pushing the brushes into place a bit more firmly, but that gets very tedious and I now only get a few seconds of running time. I could probably buy new bushes again but they weren't all that easy to find last time, and given what I spent on them, and the time it took, not really worth it. I've got a medium-sized job coming up- replacing a bunch of windows and doors- so need something to chisel away mortar. Doesn't have to be anything too fancy, but just thought I'd ask if there were any particularly good buys to be had at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Re brush it again. I suspect I have a similar "generic no name" SDS drill that I have been using for nearly 20 years and on it's 3rd or even 4th set of brushes. They seem otherwise indestructable.

dpmiller Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 and don't be too picky- brushes roughly the right size will file down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtop Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 2nd for titan, tough as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNewton Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 A 3rd for the Titan. I bought it on the assumption it'd be disposable but still represent value for money for the jobs I had to do. Despite several years hard labour (not continuous, admittedly) it still soldiers on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Another Titan owner who is pleased although it’s not had a lot of use was dead handy fir the odd heavy job. My smaller dewalt is used fir most things nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Email Kompernass with the model number. They certainly make the current crop of Parkside SDS drills. Were super helpful and efficient when I had my Parkside SDS pack up just over a year from purchase. I had to invoke the 3 year guarantee thing. https://service.kompernass.com/language/en/contact.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Our local store is full of all things DIY. Got a cordless hedge trimmer for £15, a decent set of forstner bits and a drill bit set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
