Milwaukee service-

I have been buying Milwaukee power tools for a while now as they seem well made and can be picked up at a reasonable price from many places.
At work I use the Milwaukee 18v Impact wrench and so I thought I’d get a drill driver that will work from the same battery. I bought the Milwaukee C16 DD in February of this year and used it several times at work.

A couple of weeks ago I was drilling some 13mm holes in some mild steel ( I drilled a 6mm pilot hole first). The drill began to smell of burning, which is never a good sign! I took the drill home and tried it again in my garage, when I pressed the trigger it smoked so badly that I had to leave the garage.

I proceeded to get in touch with Milwaukee and explained the fault to them, they wanted me to provide the receipt (which I did not have as I bought the drill on ebay, but I had a Paypal receipt). They instructed me to box up the drill and early the next morning the drill was collected by a courier. A few days later the drill was returned and was like a new drill, the report that came with the package said it had a new motor, switch and housing- all of which was done under warranty

I was impressed with the service, I thought at one point that they might try to wriggle out of the warranty, but they did not and provided brilliant service. I feel a lot more confident buying their tools now, especially as some of their tools come with 3 year warranties

Never heard of the brand - until now. A contender if I'm in the market for something similar based on your recommendation Chez

I have quite a few of their tools now but I don't have the time to write any reviews for them just yet.

I keep thinking of replacing my Dewalt XRP tools but that just because I want the new Dewalt XR range, especially with the 4AH battery

who said ryobi are carp

maybe they will bring out 4ah batteries like the one plus from the same stable

Wouldn't mind a Milwaukee, however their "little brother" AEG is all that is within my budget at the moment.
Are we sure that B_A DOESN'T get paid by Ryobi?? (If not they should pay him )
