The battery wear out is a problem i had on the older 36v kits and nimh 18v kits, but the li-ion stuff is meant to be more durable and the batteries arent cripplingly expensive. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

We had five sets of site kit for staff including screwdrivers, drills, impact drivers, impact drills, saws etc and have replaced all of it from dewalt, metabo, aeg and Milwaukee to MAKITA.

Trust me my guys abuse everything but these last and if on the odd occasion they get busted I send them back to Makita and they sort it super quick. Sent back 10 batteries back that we're well past there guarantee, they replaced all FOC.

Good to know. I just remember my Dad binning a nice top quality battery drill because the battery was gone and replacements were the same price as a new one. Good to hear they're getting better.

Remember, DeWalt is owned by Stanley Black & Decker!

Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch or Wurth  Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Ok so I have had my drill serviced. Couldn't justify new one and so dropped it at a mates place and he stripped it, new brushes and cleaned all the cr4p out of it. 2x 2.6Ah batteries sourced at cost price and job is a good one  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Love my Milwaukee . Heaps of torque . Bought it to drill 1/2" holes in posts Would definitely buy another

Another vote for Milwaukee superb bit of kit, battery level meter is useful too  -----------------------------------------------------------
