> buy Milwaukee electric,
I tried that, once. Broke the piggy bank to buy a 1/2" Magnum Holeshooter.
Took it back a couple of months later, because the speed control quit
working, and the chuck developed a tight spot so bad you had to use the key
to turn it. No, they wouldn't give me a new one, but they would repair mine
under warranty ...
Couple weeks later I got it back, still had exactly the same problems. But
I needed to do some work with it, so I didn't return it for another month or
two. Same story; they'd send it out; that time it took over a month for it
to come back. And it still didn't work right.
Third time they kept it TWO months, then claimed it was out of warranty and
I would have to pay for the repair. No, I couldn't have it back unrepaired,
they had already done the work and if I did not pay, I didn't get my drill.
The charge was nearly $50 (some 25 years ago), almost half what I paid in
the first place. But they had finally fixed it right, and it was pay that
or buy a new one, so I paid.
It still works, so I can't complain about the quality. But then, so does
the 1/4" B&D POS it replaced <G>
