I've always found that if something says 'professional' or 'quality' on the packaging, it's usually not.
Real quality speaks for its self.

Got different stuff from Lidl, but I never really bought a tool, just small stuff and hand tools

Bought this Parkside SDS in Jan 18. Tbh, felt and looked like a quality tool. Sounded a bit ropey though especially in reverse. A few too many sparks visible through the vents for my liking.
The hammer action just stopped.
I took it back to the store with the receipt but because it was over a year old I had to contact Lidl customer services. Had to chase them up and eventually they put me onto Kompernass. They are super efficient so far, providing a free post UPS label. Drill is with them now.

All the X20V performance tools are built by OWIM and they have 5 years warranty
The rotary hammer (performance) is Kompernass 3 years warranty.
Lidl customer service is something great but only if you contact them directly ....
I know about people who activated the warranty service trusting in Lidl shops and after years they are still waiting .
It's not cause to Lidl but because who work for them

If I had gone back within 1 year they would have refunded me at the till, in the store. The store people were very helpful and apologetic. Because it was outside the year I had to contact Lidl head office/returns department. They were slow and I had to chase.

All this cheap tools, cheap welders warranty talk reminds me of a conversation I heard a few years ago, one of our fabricators talking with a JCB rep:
"Our new JCB telehandlers have 24h support packages with them so any breakdowns are repaired very quickly. Your CAT handlers don't have the same level of support..."
"I don't need the 24h support for the CAT handlers, they just don't break down!"
"Our new JCB telehandlers have 24h support packages with them so any breakdowns are repaired very quickly. Your CAT handlers don't have the same level of support..."
"I don't need the 24h support for the CAT handlers, they just don't break down!"

Just got the leaflet from Lidl in todays paper, they are doing the professional tools later this week here. A cordless drill, angle grinder, sabre saw, multi-tool and others. All with a 5 year warranty. The cordless drill and grinder are 99 yoyos each. For that price and with the 5 year warranty, i don't think you can go too far adrift.

Which is why I've got a row of Makita drills, drill-drivers and impacts that are well-used, didn't cost much, nice in the hand and still go like the clappers with plenty of life left in them - and can still get spares for if I need them. My usage now is non-pro so they get an easy time of it, but when I decide to do something large like throwing up a wall or another internal refurbishment / extension, I know I can depend on them.
The only drawback is they're all 14.4V and I don't want to take the risk of using 18V batteries, so I'm slightly stuck there. However, the supply of 14.V batteries is still plentiful.

Just spotted this one
Parkside performance so brushless driver drill with percussion (wall drilling function)
The picture is not the best ,we have not more information at the moment .
Edit we have a link
https://www.lidl.ch/depliants/lidl-actuel-jouets/view/flyer/page/38
Just spotted right now on a Facebook group posted by a Lidl quality control manager.
Things we know
It comes with an alluminium box ,a drill bit set and a driver bit set.
Not sure about the batteries but from the picture it looks like it comes with two 2Ah batteries and a performance battery charger (more powerful and quicker charger than normal X20V Team ones )
Compatible with X20V Team batteries and chargers .
The alluminium box has a drawer where we will find the drill bits and driver bits set .
The drill is equipped with an auxiliary handle , a deep stick and the usual hanging clip .
Edit Rohm extra 50 drill chuck
I can barely see the specs
But it looks like
20V
-12000 BPM-
Edit 36000 BPM
0-400 0-2000 RPM
80? Nm
Edit 80 Nm for sure
It will be sold on December 10th here in Italy
And December 14th in Switzerland
I think that it will be sold also in UK
That's a new entry , I've bought mine non percussion one on December 2019 roughly on the same day ,so I believe that if it will be sold in England it will be roughly the same day of the last year

That's unfortunate , happened here also during lockdown but now it's possible , hopefully it will be possible for you to buy one.
Here we used to buy food and put tools in the basket they can't say nothing once it in the basket with food etc
I think Parkside (whoever they are & made) might struggle to find market volume for the professional range.
I bought a brushless multi tool from that range which performs & built well, but hardly stressed and not daily use, reason is have the batteries.
But the price point was easy 3x higher than the usual Parkside stuff, so I wonder if trades would risk it over the known pro brands despite the warranty?
@Memmeddu any idea what they are looking to charge?
