VonHaus E-Series 18V 1.5Ah Li-ion Spare Battery, Does NOT Fit the VonHaus Garden Range or D-Series – Cordless Handheld Lithium Battery – Long Lasting Charge – Li-ion

Product Information

The single-handed tool with a rubberised contoured handle allows a firm grip on small and hard-to-reach areas. Ergonomically designed for enhanced comfort the compact design ensures you’re closer to the work surface, offering greater control. Initial use of the blade was good, it zipped through all the materials we tested it on, even the metal. However, this took a little longer to get going but once through the initial cutting stage it went through the metal pipe easily.

So I am always on the lookout for quality tools at an affordable price. So when VonHaus approached me recently to put their new E-series of cordless power tools through their paces, I couldn’t wait to try them out. They are a perfect set of household power tool essentials for a novice or seasoned DIYers. The cordless jigsaw is perfect for straight or curved cutting. It’s a very versatile saw. It also has a dual extraction outlet, which means it will blow away loose debris as you are sawing. For me, a drill driver is most useful for drilling holes in wood and metal, which is exactly what VonHaus have designed this drill driver to do. They’re meant to be light and compact so they’re versatile and can get into the smaller, hard to reach places. This is where an SDS drill comes in. So what is an SDS drill? An SDS drill is much bigger and the hammer function uses the weight of the drill to do the hard-work — you don’t need to push hard to drill through concrete or masonry and simply let the SDS drill do the work.

With an exceptionally low price tag of £9.99 for the drill body or £39.99 for the bundle, we gave the VonHaus E-series 18V cordless drill driver a go to see if it's worth the hype

So if you’re fitting new skirting boards in your home, the cordless circular saw is perfect for the job. Find out more about the circular saw right here. The cordless jigsaw is perfect for indoors and outdoors. It has a speed of 2500SPM with a 45 degree cutting capacity and a 3 stage pendulum switch to adjust the speed as required. The single handed sander has a rubber contoured handle which makes sure you have a firm grip at all times. The saw comes in a recyclable cardboard box, and that’s it apart from the warning label not to use a knife or scissors to cut through the box's tape. VonHaus keeps everything down to a minimum, which I like. The less waste the better in my opinion. A cordless power tool needs a battery and the VonHaus comes with a 3.0Ah 20V MAX 3.0Ah Lithium-ion battery and its own charger. What does this mean? It means you have a decent size battery. It's worth noting that it's no better than an 18V battery that you commonly get with cordless reciprocating saws. It’s a marketing tool to make it sound better.

This is the battery charger. It has a coloured light system that will tell you when the battery is fully charged. Learn more here. The 3-stage light signalling system lets you know when your battery needs charging / is fully charged. This is perfect for sanding old paint on things such as doors so when you re-paint the door it will give a brilliant finish. The cordless sander can be used on wood, plastic and metal. The sander can be used in tight, small and awkward areas. It’s perfect for a fine finish, but will also deal with tougher jobs such as paint removal.STATUS INDICATOR – features a charge level indicator so you can be aware of how much charge you have left. Product weight: 440g The cordless and compact oscillating tool is very versatile. It will let you cut, carve and sand on lots of DIY tasks. It is also a tool-less blade change, that is very handy and convenient. Compatible Batteries: E-Series 1.5Ah Li-ion Battery (3500161), E-Series 2.0Ah Li-ion Battery (3500162) I tested the saw over a couple of weeks, in 10, 15 and 25 minutes sessions to see how the battery lasted when used in shorter sessions and how long it could go in one session. Using the supplied blades I cut through fence posts, MDF, plastic pipe, metal pipe and a lot of garden bushes and trees. What makes the E-Series so affordable is they are sold without a battery and charger. You buy that separately and then you can use the battery on every power tool in the range. They are without doubt the most competitively priced cordless range of tools on the market today.
