Einhell tools?

[Lukas239]

Anyone in the know with comments on Einhell tools?

I'm getting more and more into woodwork as well as general car/DIY jobs and need a solid cordless drill, circular saw and mitre/table saw.

Have seen Einhell with the 1 battery solution etc and wondered if the quality was any good? I'm novice DIY by all means but also a buy once kind of person.

TIA

Their power tools aren't as good as Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee etc. However, there's nothing cheaper than Einhell that's as good - top value for money.

Yeah I was looking at getting a DeWalt originally but saw the Einhell off the back of searching. Appreciate everyone's input

Einhells mitre saw is currently on offer at toolstation, if the quality’s as good as posted above I might just need one!

Great find, especially with the slide. I'm gunna commit to their drill/driver and circular saw and see how it goes.

I got this a couple of years ago from Amazon. Cuts through things like butter. I added an extension to the fence which made it even more useful. Only word of warning: It is hard and time consuming to adjust and get accurate cuts, you have to be very careful using a square to get perfect cuts each time. If I had my time again, I’d buy a big brand one for twice the price as they should lock to 22.5/45/90 degrees much more reliably.

having read through a few reviews etc, it seems the Mitres are the only products that don't get great reviews. Similar comments to yourself

Shame they don’t seem to do a work radio/charger.

They do a cordless Bluetooth speaker as well which runs on the batteries so you could just stream from your phone. Can't find a link though

To update, bought this the other day

Have previously been using a dewalt 10.8v drill and my old man's Milwaukee Fuel 18v (cost £350). Obviously early days but the Einhell is probably 90% as good as the milwaukee and certainly wasn't 90% of the price. Batteries charge brilliantly quickly too. Just a case of watching the longevity now. It eclipses the dewalt for sure.

Will grab a circular saw, grinder and maybe the mitre soon.

There’s been some kind of run on their gear over the past week or so. There’s not a lot in stock at either ITS or tool station.


The thing that annoys me is that all the kits come with rubbish batteries so you have to fork out again for the 4 or 5 ah batteries on to of the 1.5 or 2ah ones that come with the kits.

Their batteries cost almost the same as a dewalt 18v 4ah one anyway.

fast charger seems to solve this issue, 2ah charge in about 40 minutes, i've got 3 so just keep on rotation.

First impressions - nice and weighty.
They looks a bit like toys, the batteries are charging now.

They do! I think it's the vibrant red. Let us know how you get on with the impact driver, be interested to see if its worth it over the drill alone.

To update;

Bought this the other day.

Its gone up in price but was £80 with wickes & toolstation. This is the middle of the line-up with the cordless circ saws. There's one similar with a small blade and one with a larger blade and brushless motor but it was £140 at the time of purchasing.

I was worried as reviews are really inconsistent but from a few days of cutting some framing wood, it's brilliant. The plastic guard is frustrating as you have to push it out of the way but once done it rips through the 40mm stuff i'm cutting no problem with the supplied blade. Chuffed.
