Milwaukee SDS Cordless

[FG28]

Thanks for all the replies, i appreciate it help. I used a corded Makita previous but IV heard the cordless of these days are well up to paar. I think I might just bite the bullet and get the fuel Milwaukee cordless and get it bare, saving me fair bit of money.

Insurance are being ok but just bloody taking long!!

Sorry to hear Yorkshire Dave, I guess it's not a matter of if anymore just a matter of when.

Iv just got the m12 sds, for anything up to 10mm its unbeatable IMO, anything larger and itll foook it, so need the elec or an 18volt i guess

Go for it I’ve got the cordless and hammer it daily on 22mm and 28mm holes and no problems yet had it for about 3years. Highly recommend it

I ditched the corded about a year ago and now use cordless for everything. I use AEG which are the European brand for Ridgid in the USA and rate them highly. The SDS drill powers through a wall using a metre long 22mm drill bit when doing outside taps and both the drill and the impact driver have bags of power. It has a clutch, so won't break your arm when stuck inside a wall. They are cheaper than Milwaukee which I've not had much luck with as two of their tools I own have broken down on me in a year.

I quite like the look and build of alot of that AEG 18v gear but the platform doesn't seem that well supported? Range of batteries, kits and bare tools etc.

I have the M18 fuel SDS drill, it is a beast, lots of power it will core upto 40mm but I prefer using my Marcrist DDM2 for coring as its quicker.

It drains batteries quite quick if on heavy loads so I would get 5+ ah batteries.

The only disadvantage I can see is that it is quite heavy.

Ridgid and AEG are the same tools and are interchangeable. Plenty of stuff like batteries on Ebay and both have websites. Homebase also sell their kit.

Can you post a link? Homebase are clearing out all their AEG 18v gear and ebay are mainly full of Chinese copies with the odd seriously overpriced original AEG battery.

I got most of my AEG kit at a knocked down price when Homebase were closing their Stirling store. As well as the link below, I'm sure you can get the same on the Ridgid website.

Thanks I'll try the Ridgid site as I was really after just a couple 4A batteries that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

I bought the 4A Ridgid batteries off Ebay. They are exactly the same as the AEG ones. It was a seller from Holland who was selling them and they are 100% genuine. Both brands fit each others tools and chargers.

 

[gmartine]

Well, you make my point for me really by buying off someone in Holland. I was hoping to pick up a genuine 4 or 5AH battery for around fifty quid each or so but they just don't seem to be many if any around for that price. I'm not saying the tools aren't good but like I said the format doesn't seem that well supported (UK) which is why I suspect fleabay is full of folks selling bare AEG 18v tools and not many genuine batteries.
