Any opinion on Milwaukee v18 hammer drill?

[Borderglazer]

Evening all,
I need to replace an ageing 18v hammer drill that the hammer function is steadily dying on and ive seen the Milwaukee v18 loktor hammer combi with 2 batteries,charger and case at costco for £200 and i'm very tempted,but ive never used a Milwaukee tool before and would appreciate any opinions.

many thanks

Milwaukee..... we have a few bits of it at work, although no cordless stuff.

Look out for things like reverse switches in stupid places, that you need two hands to operate...

Generall construction is pretty solid though, we certainly give it some hammering, and it rarely gives up.

Never used them myself but i hear good things, only thing i would say is watch out for after sale service as they are a difficult company to deal with and seem to change hands every couple of years.
