Hi guys. good morning. I'm Riccardo. Welcome back to my little laboratory.
today I will make the unboxing of the hacksaw of the parkside model PSTKA 12 A1
this is a model with a 12V battery.
it is the first time that it comes out to the lidl. so it's a novelty. its cost
it is € 34.99, today it is 15 November 2018. so you will find it
almost certainly, always in this period. because the lidl sells its own
products, cyclically every year, almost always the same periods. more day
day less. they call it a hacksaw
Rechargeable. I would fix a hacksaw alternative, actually. they also use,
often, for the model with the 20V battery, then x20V team, or the current one,
the definition of a pendulum saw, for way of the movement of the blade. This,
instead directly hacksaw Rechargeable. let's see why. I open the
pack and we'll try it right away. we see the label on the package.
from this, we can immediately see that in actually the pendulum is there. why there
die that has a fast forward, thanks to the pendulum system
adjustable on two levels. then it has a setting
without a pendulum run, so you can also eliminate, to make cuts of
precision. It has two blades, included in the pack (swiss made). It has the selection of the
electronically adjustable travel number. a cutting angle
adjustable on both sides, in base to our needs, which we can
set from zero up to 45 degrees, with different steps. It has the knob
ergonomic, then with a coating non-slip rubberized. It has LED light that
illuminates the work area, integrated on the same body. a protection
transparent to the blade, to avoid cut us. so it's a security.
It has the anti-tear device. has a spindle with quick clamping SAW LOCK,
so it's easy for you replacement for the blade ... and there are the
common blades, for reciprocating saws with the attachment to a cam.
the connection for the external aspirator on the back, included
The adapter, to use it. the 60-minute quick charger,
with an automatic shutdown. and then 12 volt battery.
Setting of on two levels, with a number of turns ranging from 1500
at 2800 per minute. It has a height of 18 mm stroke. on the wood we can do
a 70 mm cut, on the 3 mm aluminum instead.
cut the seals
and open the package.
cut the band. I open the carrying case.
and inside we find the
quick charger for an hour. The jig saw, with included already
the adapter for the vacuum cleaner. of the blades, inside the sachet, with one
Allen screw to adjust the inclination. a parallel bar and the manual of
instructions, to read as always, then from keep to consult it
if necessary. among others inside of the vain, there is already the predisposition for
an eventual second battery, to be put housed and then transported with
comfort. we see this product from close, before testing it. on the side
external, we can appreciate his constructive quality. it seems to me enough
robust and heavy. The coating in rubber is quite soft. on the part
back there is the battery, the aspirator of dust, therefore, the adapter for
connect a vacuum cleaner, which arrives directly to the area where there is
the blade, to guarantee the maximum suction of chips, dust,
etc. the switch to activate it, the
pendulum adjustment. entry for the parallel bar, which must be inserted
here and then it goes tight with the screw. there protection for the blade, both in plastic
that in metal. blade, which fits turning to this part and then inserting
la la within it. we will also see this close up. mail battery
on the back. it slips by pressing the two side letters and insert
pressing it for good. let's light it up for the first time and see
how it behaves.
the ignition, as we can see, the three LEDs that give us light up
the indication of the level of battery charge. gradually red
will be discharged, intermediate yellow and green charge to the maximum. it will turn red
even when the battery goes into protection, by overloading of
effort. this is a regulation of the pendulum level.
as we can see, in this case, the wheel will be still, if I put it on
1, it will move a little more. On two the movement will be much more. this, will give
to the blade, in addition to the up and down movement, too a movement back and forth ... that
accelerate our cut and make it more fluid, but much less precise. here it is
a wheel that moves with of clicks. every click corresponds to
speed level. let's start from the speed level more
bass.
perfect. I find it inconvenient from reach, because while we are
cutting, we often need to adjust the strength and speed that
must have the cut. in this case, instead being behind, there is a
bit more uncomfortable. we will adapt. we see the compatibility of the battery
this product, with other products of the parkside. so in this case the
hacksaw with circular blade, and small grinder
angular. all three from 12V. these have their battery inserted and
they work perfectly.
let's try to exchange the battery these two. ok let's see this ...
perfect. so the batteries are interchangeable between them. let's try now,
therefore, to make a cut with a cut very simple, on this piece of wood
from 1 cm. let's see how it goes. is set with the
pendulum to 0. let's do the first test.
ok the production of sawdust is there. the cut came is easy enough to
to be carried out. on the other hand is a 1cm single leg. so it's simple.
I try to connect the vacuum cleaner e let's see if you reduce the amount of
powder. trying to connect the vacuum cleaner, I realized that
the parkside vacuum cleaner, inside the adapter
of the parkside, it slips. so I'll have to forcefully insert a little bit of
Scotch tape. on this for example yes It fits perfectly and does not
detaches. instead on that yes. ok this is much better.
let's try with the vacuum cleaner on, to see how much dust succeeds in aspirating.
no doubt, less. But I imagined that it was slightly more efficient.
anyway, let's try now with this 19 mm piece.
ok he does it quietly, without problems. let's try also with the pendulum.
yes, it's really faster.
as we can see, however the quality of the cutting is totally different.
here it is smooth, on what I have done with the jig saw without a pendulum. in this
case, with the pendulum is a very ugly to see.
so ... now I have eliminated it pendulum function and I will try to
make a straight cut, following this line.
let's say it's fine. obviously it depends a lot, from the hand of those who cut. However
I managed, except in some places, but because of the inconvenience,
to obtain cuts quite straight. now with the blade
fit, let's try to make curved cuts.
let's say that he has practically managed to make cuts very easily.
well now I have set the plan for make a 45-degree cut.
obviously to use this system you have to remove the protection in
plastic, because otherwise the blade can not to pass.
I insert the blade again and try to make this cut.
we immediately test the quality of the cut a 45 degrees.
45.1. obviously it is not a product professional. we do not start talking
to make frames and so on. This is a DIY product.
let's say that we are here. approximately we are around 45 degrees. it's OK for me.
this is a 5cm spruce wood. on packaging there is written that can cut
up to 7cm. I try first without a pendulum and then with the pendulum.
I know that I try directly with the pendulum hahaha.
now, I'll try to put it a little bit more under stress, to see when you
activate the battery protection.
but he just released the blade and this is not good.
absolutely not good. let's see if it was my fault. I try to
insert it better.
ok. now he went to protection, but I have really exaggerated with the pressure.
The wood on the other hand is five centimeters, so we are almost at the limit
of what the house declares, like cutting capacity. add two
centimeters. let's see if he can complete, maybe a part of the cut,
or if it stops.
gentlemen, unfortunately 70 mm fails to cut them. obviously it will also cut
the plastic.
let's try now on the metal. this is often only 1mm, then
it should come very easy. of course it will certainly swing, because
it's not fixed well ... but it's the only way that I have to do this framing.
ok I had a little bit of difficulty, simply for how I was positioned.
it did not come easy to me. then guys we also talk about security.
this is a dangerous product. it does not have the security system, which prevents us from
start it involuntarily. so if we are working on the blade, e
for any reason, with the battery inserted we are forced to move
the tool ... and if unintentionally, inverted we activate it, surely we will skip one
finger. so whatever we have to do, first remove the battery.
after which we can approach the blade. this is something that must be done on everyone
the tools. but, while on tools like this, for
activate it, press the button lateral,
so after this has been pressed blade will start to rotate. on this one, however,
the blade will operate, simply moving this forward
key. there's another problem ... on the other,
when the button is released, the blade will stop. Instead, on this, if we should have one
any problem, once activated, even if we remove the hand from the key, him
will continue to move.
this becomes a further risk, because if it were to fall on
legs, on the feet etc ... or on other tools, it would create
a serious damage. therefore the battery must always be removed. once the battery is removed, for
remove the blade, you have to hold it and always turn it in a direction that
it's not ours or ours neighbors of lavro. because if we release the
blade without holding it, and there is ours friend, or a colleague who is close to
we, once unhooked, the blade will hit it.
him or us, if we turn it towards us. it often happens that you can not do it
something and to understand what is happening, he turns towards us
the most dangerous part. so if not we can unhook the blade, not it
we turn towards us. I have moved my face at the moment, so I do not run any
risk. once we are able to unhook it
the blade is thrown into the air, col risk of hitting us.
these are some things not underestimate. Hail charger in
equipment, of the rapid type. it loads then the battery in an hour. when
we will connect the charger to the electricity, the LED will light up
green. during the charging phase instead the red LED lights up, which will come back
green when the battery will reach the maximum charge level.
batteries, which
we have seen, they are compatible perfectly with several tools. ok
boys. the little one works. we have seen that
manages to do practically all that which makes a classic jigsaw.
then cut. divide into two. this is the function of the hacksaw
alternative. is to divide things into two. no need to make frames or
build the furniture. for that there are saws over the counter and much more, than this
tool is not intended to do. However we have seen that the 45-degree cuts
about, he manages to get them. there is a small one waste, but managed to do it. I managed
to make curved shapes. is managed to do practically, almost
perfectly, ... without anything from reproach. who I am
managed to do me. the cuts almost perfectly straight is
managed to get them as well. obviously, there are of small imperfections that with the
jigsaw is normal that there are. but if you have a firm hand and if
you are good, you will succeed in getting even better details of these.
so what to say? It simply has 12 volt. it is not a workshop machine.
it is not a machine to be found in specialized woodworking. this serves
to hobbyists, to make the cuts, i jobs they have to do in the
own laboratory, while playing at to build things.
for do-it-yourself,
this, in my opinion, is fine. he has not overheated so much. the battery is gone
in protection, only when I have exaggerated, forcing a lot, therefore
provoking on purpose the protection, which has been activated for
avoid overheating in the same battery.
this in my opinion is a value. I do not have tried the joke voluntarily
parallel ... it is an instrument that I consider
almost useless in an alternative ejac, because, since the
blade is very long, often inclines. takes a different direction than that
which is the side part of the plan support. then the parallel bar,
that is with a guide that we create, then an external parallel bar ... o
that is his parallel joke, often and the situation worsens. because if
it starts to bend we can not correct it. The reciprocating saw is going
used slowly, observing the blade on the line that
we traced, to be cut and searched to correct the cut gradually.
We often see, while we are doing well that the blade curves and we must correct, for
get an almost perfect cut. I repeat, it is not a tool that is used for
for perfect cuts. there are those who succeed. anyway ... fact is that he likes me and ve
I highly recommend it. said this I greet you and thank you
have seen this video all the way. I invite you to register my channel.
