Einhell really reeks of low quality, I have seen better tools made by more obscure Chinese companies. (Probably parkside is better than them too).
They're not the greatest, but most of the Ozito-branded Einhell stuff has held up OK so far. The fact they offer a 5 year replacement warranty on their cordless tool range is a big selling point, so even if it breaks a couple of times over that first 5 years, it's no biggie. Tool breaks, go to Bunnings, get a new one... assuming you keep the receipt (and only a retard wouldn't).
Unless you're on the tools for 35+ hours a week to make a living, their stuff is good enough for amateur hour guys like me.
I have used their soldering gun (for larger parts soldering), and it is so anemic, it takes a lot of time to heat.
I've never used an Einhell/Ozito soldering iron, so I can't comment on that.
That said, there's a difference between their brushed and brushless stuff. The brushed stuff is a bit feeble, but their brushless stuff is pretty decent for the money. Generally dependable, I've been rebuilding an old house using mainly Einhell/Ozito tools and so far so good.
I have no idea what those Parkside tools are like. Are they a Lidl home brand? If they're the ones I'm thinking of, then I keep hearing / seeing that they're supposed to be better than most low-end power tools in the same price range. Sadly. we don't have Lidl over here.
Also, were you the dude who said Aldi tools were underrated? I find them a mix bag. Their hand tools are generally good, but their petrol / gasoline powered garden tools are shite.
