Need new drill please

Ermintrude · Jun 4, 2014

Milwaukiee 3 year warranty and they never quibble. . Dropped recip in headder tank...... They sent me new one as it stopped working !!!!! If your on a budget buy standard kit with 3ah batts and then when you make additions get the FUEL stuff ad some 4ah! Bare tools are stupidly cheap and I as you may know love their stuff. I even have grips, craft knife, van vault and core bits.

That's all helpful and good to know, thanks guys.
borrowed a festool cordless drill of a bloke once just to drill one hole, dropped it and had to pay £100 for it to be sent to them and for them to change something on the end I had broke.
stupidly expensive tools

Have many of you chaps got impact drivers?
was told by a carpenter wouldn't be that suitable for my/our job.
Also going to buy a mini angle grinder soon, by reading what most of you've put you'd buy the Milwaukee one over the makita? It's only £7 dearer than the makita.

If corded then basicly buy any, pretty much all the same, my corded are hitachis
Cordless?
Pay the extra 40 quid for the milwaukee fuel grinder, massive improvement on the older milwaukee.....it makes the makita look like a toy.

Most drill are good if suitable for the work and budget. If your planning on doing a lot of Heavy duty work then pay for tools that are designed for the purpose you intend to use them for.

Somebody mentioned milwaukee 28v, if the batts are v28 they were junk cells in them. Also lion batts degrade over time even if you don't use them often! They will still indicate full charge but the cells won't have much energy in them. Get m28 batts. 3 years is good going if your batts still holding strong.
