Milwaukee power tools are alot more reliable than most other brands out there at the moment.
I have noticed an increase in warranty repairs for Dewalt lately, i have only had 1 problem with an 18v drill from Milwaukee and it was replaced with a new one, its a shame that some of the manufacturers are compromising the quality of the product, but this is prob due to the cost cutting financial downturn we are in

Hi cbw, the Hilti Fleet Management is very good in one way, that you get to run the tools and any problems you occur are sorted immediately and at no extra cost. However the initial cost is quite high, I got a quote for a cordless TE6 SDS drill , and a TE22 drill/driver with 2 batteries each and a charger and it was around £36 plus VAT per month. Add a corded SDS (with a chisel function) £11 per month plus VAT and you can be paying around £650 per year inc VAT.

Their service however is amazing and if any tool or battery fails on the Fleet management service, they will pick up for repair and leave you a loan tool. You get unlimited battery replacement and also free servicing.

I owned a Bosch 36v before the Hilti and must admit that it was an excellent bit of kit, and these can be picked up for around £450 new with 3 year warranty. The Hilti 36v cost around £750 new.

Gotta be worth keeping their number handy fella, do they deliver or just collect at the end?
