AEG tools

[Bobby B]

Anyone used them?

i've always considered AEG a good manufacturer so i'd think that they would be good, gone off bosch the batteries are rubbish, we could build a wall with the dead ones at work.

thanks

cheers mate i'm considering the 24v sds, im right in thinking that milwaukee are amongst the best?

yeah they are good my 110v is milwaukee had it for 6 years and wired hundreds of houses and still goin strong although i must confess my cordless sds is bosch 36v and i personally think it is unrivalled by any other lol

I got an AEG 14.4V impact driver, gets abused daily and always come back for more......great bit of kit.

Wish i could stretch to milwaukee bit pricey tho, would you have a 36v bosch at £300? there on offer at screwfix.

Definatly. Personally have used both and the Bosch is better built the milwaukee sounds like a can of bolts when going and the plastics feel slightly more brittle.

i keep looking at these 36v compact bosch drills and cant decide to get one of them or the 18v dewalt sds as you can pick up the 3mode one with two decent batrries for 250 quid now. just want somthing light for blasting a 5.5 drill bit in all day long

a mate of mine had a 36v, it lasted two years but he's a plumber and it took some pain

i use my 36v bosch all the time no probs just make sure and get decent battery as 1.6ah last about an hr, it even drills cavity wall with a 22mm bit not bad for battery power

Milwaukee, AEG and Ryobi are all owned by the TTI group.
Wasn't long ago that AEG offered FREE lifetime servicing and repair INCLUDING batteries.
which is an outstanding.
If you after a 24v sds we have some Hitachi at £199.99 ex vat pm me if you are interested.
