hello everybody,
new here - just thought i would sign up to get some thoughts from some of you..
so im at the point where i fancy grabbing some cordless power tools from the same brand (for battery ease of use etc).
now iv got a few bits of ferrex and workzone gear from aldi some of which is actually quite alright (the impact driver made by walter) but some not so good, the workzone hammer drill which struggled to get through a house brick sticking up a security light for instance (pretty sure it hit a pebble).
So iv been having a look across all the different websites screwfix/b&q etc and reading reviews left right and centre.
They arent about to be used everyday for work but at the same time i dont want to have any problems or have to replace them again in 12 months time because they are crap so iv been looking at the following brands..
Erbauer/Einhell/Ryobi/Bosch.. as opposed to milwaukee/dewalt/makita which are premium trade level gear that i probably wouldnt really be able to justify the outlay for - not only that anything iv used for work on site with a dewalt name on (workgear not tools) has fell to pieces so i dont have a good impression of that brand from the get-go anyway.
I just wondered what peoples thoughts are on Erbauer/Einhell/Ryobi/Bosch -
You can pick up various Erbauer 18v brushless kits from b&q/screwfix one being..
Ryobi - appears to get seriously mixed reviews, some love it while some hate it but the general thing i see the most is people complaining about ryobi batteries not lasting or being much use.
Bosch - seems to have a core following and they seem somewhat quality but iv noticed compared to say erbauer they arent pushing the envelope with brushless motors, most of their gear still seems to have brushed motors and plastic chucks.
Look forward to some responses, cheers.
