Having invested a lot of money at Aldi in Powercraft tools I want to warn the world about the rete of failure. Last night while cutting a small metal plate the Powercraft angle grinder burst into flames. I was wearing gloves and after removing the socket walked it out of the garage on fire. It is the PAG-125/1020. I have removed the casing now and found the armature was the item on fire. Its just a mass of melted wiring.
Last week while using the STD drill WK14005 The triggar failed. It was quite dramatic. The drill started to spit sparks and then roared of at full speed. The only way of stopping it was to as someone to remove the plug while holding the drill while it was showering me in sparks.
Again last night I was using the air impact wrench. The socket was a 17mm. Now its the only one I can use as its welded to the shaft and is impossible to remove. One year ago I asked Power Craft to replace a rechargable drill that was quite cheap to buy but would not charge. It took 6 months to get an answer. Then I was told that Power Craft was not trading and the appointed agents would deal with my problem. I sent all the paperwork after ringing to confirm the details. It came back ofter 4 months with a note from the G.P.O. stating the company was not at that location. Thinking I had made a mistake I checked. The given details where correct. But I am still waiting for my refund.
