Drill replacement

[jonathanb]

Got a load of 18 AEG lithium ion tools and batts a few months ago,cherry picked deals and paid under £300 for this lot:

3 x lithium 3 amp batts, 2 x Ni cad batts, 2x combi drills,1 x recip saw, 1 x circular, 2 x chargers, 2x hard cases, 1 x contactors bag, 1 x torch/lantern.

Grafted hard on 6 big jobs so far,as well as general daily stuff and all running in fine. Drill bit heavy so use lithium batts as lighter, loads of torque/power, both saws excellent, batteries hold up ok - not amazing but max power till they drop charge.

Great for plumbers but but maybe not for a joiner - not as refined,light or well balanced as premium Makita or equivalent Milwaukee but what do you want for the money - Defo trade quality, and AEG are "relaunching" what appears to be the same line in a horrid orange (same as Rigid? US "version") but also new diddy jobsite radio in new range which will appear to take the batts I got.Yay!

cordless in my opinion for quality and value you can't beat aeg(milwalkee)top class 3 year gtee metal chuck and knocks my last makita 8444 into a cocked hat!and half the price too.bought one this week 2x3ah li-ion 18v £129 delivered

Where did you get that from? Think i found the link https://secure.thetoolman.co.uk/products/cordless_power_tools.html/?viewListing=ODQ4

only one word HILTI.
life time warranty for as long as you own the equipment,i have just had a new chuck/brushes on my 15.5v cordless and at the time cost £250 to buy,but that was 4 years ago,hilti only charged me £45 for the service.
so HILTI ALL THE WAY.

A life time warranty that cost £45 for repair?

t6alking to a milwaukee rep although they own aeg they are made in different factorys and milwaukee are not aeg in fancy wrappers. so dont go thinking you got a milwaukee when youve got aeg.

I think Aldermaston Tool Company (ATC-The Aldermaston Tool Company) does Milwaukee. They certainly do Dewalt, Makita, Metabo and Bosch and have a very good service and repair department.
