AEG 12v Drill for £59 notes! The best thing is the lifetime service agreement they have with it, meaning replacement bats, motors, brushes the lot!

I am so very tempted as I am looking for a smaller 12V one... Must resist!

It doesn't mean for your lifetime - but the lifetime of the tool. When it's worn out it's worn out.

Yeah well obviously the lifetime of the tool, then when its 'worn' out you replace the part free of charge. Everything can be replaced, the main things being motor, brushes, gearbox and bats. No one offers that! I thought it was bloody brilliant!

I was sold a set of snap-on screwdrivers that I was told would last me a lifetime with the lifetime guarantee. I tried to exchange two of them a while ago as they were worn. I was told they wouldn’t exchange them as they had come to the end of there life.

I had some halfords pro spanners which needed replacing, and they exchanged quibble free. Didn't even ask for any receipt!

A spanner has a longer expected life than a battery drill. Do you really think they'll change the motor in ten years or fifty years time?

 

[neds]

Jeez wont bother next time. I'd expect a drill to last about a year or 2 before the bats give up the ghost, the drill will outlast the bats and normally the bats cost more than the drill itself so for that alone its worth it! Tell me of another manufacturer who replaces bats when they die?

 

[joe-90]

They rarely 'die' - they just get tired - and that is the end of their 'life'.

Worx do a replacement battery or battery for life on all their products, when it dies you get a new one free, although, their stuff is a bit pricey so for the price I would say not a bad deal as it goes as a bat can weigh in at £50

Hi, All,
From my last birthday I expect every thing I buy to have a lifetime guarantee.
