    Hello
    I want to buy a cordless screwdriver for a person living in a private home
    the screwdriver will be used rather for small things (this year the gazebos are planned to be renovated, so it's good to deal with wood) :D )

    the requirements are:
    2 batteries in the set
    charger included

    it does not have to be from a well-known company, the ground would work well

    someone will advise you?
    I found something like:

    In wood, a screw driver from lidl can handle it.


    That's how you put in two proposals with different motor power voltages, so power will be different.

    In this Einhell, I would rather not push if only if it had a Li-Ion battery.

    I have one and I do not complain at all - Bosch GSR 1080-2-LI 2x1,5Ah , this is probably a bit of an earlier version of this one - Bosch GSR 120-LI . The shape and sizes are practically the same. It works reliably, for "home" works, just like me.

    I have and I also use a similar one, bought in lidle and also gives advice.

    Will this graphite be sub-linked? Can there be something better at this price?

    and yet the question is how is he aku li? for example, a screwdriver used once a month - will he?

    I bought the Einhell screwdriver a couple of years ago, but unfortunately it was a bad choice, because as a screwdriver she did quite well at home, but the batteries were falling like flies. Also, I do not recommend the first choice. Since then, I've been buying only proven equipment. Makita 6281d I bought from someone who got a gift. I paid 400 zlotys. Includes suitcase, charger, two batteries and of course a screwdriver. Sometimes it's worth browsing offers, because people sell brand new equipment, but much cheaper than the market offers.

    I do not know exactly what model you write about. I have something similar, also with Lidl. Battery 20 V, 2 Ah, screwdriver with "kind of stroke". Used sporadically, but not at all. I think that amateur work is just right. In addition, this battery fits into a series of devices from Lidl. Now, there were battery-powered circular saws and jigsaws on sale. The battery fits them well and there are many more devices in the series.

    Gentlemen, I am facing a decision.

    Screwdriver for the father-in-law, small things, currently doing a gazebo - which screwdriver?
    http://allegro.pl/wiertarko-wkretarka-verto-14-4v-li-ion-50g275-i7311530593.html 230 PLN
    http://allegro.pl/wiertarko-wkretarka-graphite-58g215-14-4v-24mgw-i7272227714.html PLN 300

    As I wrote, work at a private home, nothing professional.
    Verto enough?

    Oh, such basic differences.
    The second thing is that I use several Graphite tools (a circular saw, a network screwdriver, a small cordless screwdriver http://www.graphite.pl/wkretak-akumulatorowy-5577.html, belt sander, power drill) and are really quite good and they work not bad.

FAQ

TL;DR: For a 14.4V gift driver, pick Graphite 58G215: 75‑minute charging and 0–1150 rpm; its tools are “really quite good and they work not bad.” It out‑specs Verto for home woodwork. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17192736]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps home buyers choose a two‑battery, charger‑included cordless drill/driver around 300 PLN for wood and general tasks.

Quick Facts

Which is better for home use: Einhell TC‑CD 18‑2 or Graphite 58G215?

Choose Graphite 58G215. An experienced user answered, “I would take Graphite.” It is a safer pick for an all‑round home driver. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17192519]

How does Graphite 58G215 compare with VERTO 14.4 V?

Graphite spins faster and charges quicker. It offers 0–1150 rpm, two gears, 21 Nm, and 75‑minute charging. VERTO lists 0–550 rpm, 20 Nm, and 3–5 hours charging with 1.3 Ah. Both are 14.4 V Li‑Ion. Graphite’s 1.5 Ah pack and two‑gear box add flexibility. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17192736]

Is Einhell TC‑CD 18‑2 a bad idea if it’s not Li‑Ion?

Yes. A forum regular advised against that Einhell unless it ships with a Li‑Ion battery. Choose Li‑Ion or skip it. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17156916]

Will Li‑Ion be okay if I use the driver only once a month?

Yes. One owner wrote, “Used sporadically, but not at all. I think that amateur work is just right.” Their 20 V, 2 Ah Parkside works fine, and the battery fits other Lidl tools. That makes occasional use convenient. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17163646]

Is a Lidl Parkside cordless worth ~PLN 250 for home tasks?

Yes for light, amateur work. A user runs a 20 V, 2 Ah Parkside and says it handles sporadic jobs well. The battery also powers other Lidl tools like circular saws and jigsaws in the same series. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17163646]

Is Bosch GSR 1080‑2‑LI or GSR 120‑LI a good alternative gift?

Yes. An owner reports the GSR 1080‑2‑LI works reliably for home tasks, similar to the GSR 120‑LI in shape and size. It’s a solid Li‑Ion option for non‑professional use. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17156983]

Do I really need two batteries for light home jobs?

Two batteries reduce downtime. Graphite charges in 75 minutes, while VERTO needs 3–5 hours. A second pack makes VERTO more usable between charges and keeps work moving. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17192736]

Does 14.4 V vs 18 V matter for wood projects?

Voltage affects available power. As one member noted, your proposals had different voltages, so power will differ. Still, “In wood, a screwdriver from Lidl can handle it.” [Elektroda, Wojciech., post #17156734]

Any store deals to watch when buying new?

Yes. One user flagged a Bosch promotion in Castorama. Checking local promos can stretch your budget on pro‑line kits. [Elektroda, Zbigniew 400, post #17157072]

Is buying a used Makita smarter than a new budget set?

It can be. A member recommends used Makita 12 V models and says it’s very good equipment. If you require new for a gift, stick to new. [Elektroda, mariuszkam, post #17156999]

What torque should I look for around this budget?

Expect about 20–21 Nm in these 14.4 V kits. Graphite lists 21 Nm and 0–1150 rpm, while VERTO lists 20 Nm and 0–550 rpm. Higher rpm and faster charging improve experience more than 1 Nm difference. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17192736]

How do I decide quickly between VERTO 14.4 V and Graphite 58G215?

  1. Compare charging: 75 minutes (Graphite) vs 3–5 hours (VERTO).
  2. Check speed and gears: 0–1150 rpm, 2 gears (Graphite) vs 0–550 rpm (VERTO).
  3. Confirm packs: 1.5 Ah (Graphite) vs 1.3 Ah (VERTO). Pick Graphite for faster turnaround. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17192736]

Did anyone report battery issues with Einhell?

Yes. One owner said the screwdriver worked, but the batteries “were falling like flies.” They do not recommend that choice based on their experience. [Elektroda, mariuszkam, post #17157257]
