Hi everyone! I'm having a strange issue with my Parkside 20V drill (the 45nm model). It won't start if I pull the trigger all the way at once; it just stays dead. However, if I press the trigger slowly, it works fine and can reach full speed. Is this a common thing for Parkside tools, or do I have a faulty drill? I'm wondering if it could be a soft start feature, a problem with the battery cutting out due to a surge, or maybe a sign that the trigger or speed controller is failing. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

I've experienced a similar issue with my drill, but it hasn't been severe enough for me to consider using the warranty. If it's faulty, though, it might be wise to get it replaced, especially if you bought it recently and it's still in good shape. Seriously, you don’t want to end up with a bigger headache later!
I've got a basic battery drill and an impact driver, and they both work fine even when I slam the trigger. I suggest you try testing with different batteries to see if the problem continues.
