PSBSAP 20-Li A1 hammer drill

The PSBSAP 20-Li A1 is a cordless hammer drill distributed under the Parkside brand.

The addition P to the PSBSA model name indicates that it is part of the Parkside performance label. This means that the machine is equipped with an efficient brushless electric motor and instead of a green body had a black body.

The machine is powered by a X20V battery.

The weight of the machine was not found online. The machine was also not listed on the website of the German distributor Kompernaß. All information was gathered from online Lidl shop pages.

Availability

In March 2022 the machine was listed as "sold out online" on the website Lidl.de for a price of 149.00 euro with an accessory set consisting out of 60 parts including an auxiliary handle, two 2.0 Ah batteries and a charger. From the information on the page it was not clear if it is expected to come back on stock.

Since the BSPSAP 20-Li B2 was available on the same website, it is marked as discontinued here.

Exterior

The machine has black plastic housing with black rubberized parts and gray and red accents.

On the bottom of the handle a X20V battery attaches by sliding in from the front. A black metal belt clip can be attached on the left or right side. Above the battery is a white LED that illuminates the working area.

On front of the handle is a red trigger switch with a black rubberized front. Above it is a red push button to reverse the direction of rotation on each side.

On top of the housing is a red gear selector switch.

At the front is red clutch setting ring with 21 settings plus a drill and hammer plus drill setting that disable the clutch. At the front is a black metal chuck with a maximum opening of 13 mm.

Operation

The machine works as a standard drill. It is activated by pressing the variable speed trigger switch. The push button above it can be used to reverse the turning direction or as a trigger lock when the button is centered.

The resistance of the clutch is adjusted with the ring behind the chuck. The drill or hammer mode can be selected by turning the ring further so that the indicator triangle is aligned with the drill or hammer symbol.

The gear can be selected with the sliding switch on top of the body while it is not turning.
