Erbauer Drills any good

[Timbo]

Milwaukee have two main systems, 12v and 18v. There is also still 28v stuff around, although this has been superseded by the 18v all round. I still have some 28v gear. I am still using my original 12v batteries from 2004, although I did wear the drill out after 12 years.

Used my new impact to put up the last section of fencing in my back garden, new 8 foot rails and new edge boards all screwed in place with ease. The 4ah batteries make it quite heavy but you can't argue with its power.
Next up to try it on a couple consumer units

Maybe a Erbauer circular saw next, to run along the top of that fence

Just spotted this deal on Hikoki Brushless drill & impact, with 3x 5Ah batteries for £230.

Bit pricier than Erbauer, but excellent value all the same.

It is this one...

My only issue with it , is seems all or nothing ( although it claims variable speed ) when you pull the trigger. Its a bit of a beast.

My old hitachi had a better degree of variable control and I knew how much welly to give it.

I would happily use my old drill on a consumer unit ( I woudn't ) but I would feel confident to get the correct tightness

The Erbauer I wouldn't go anywhere near a terminal screw with it

I've had erbauer stuff for years and still have the older sets with different style batteries.

I took the newer combi drill/impact back after 18 months because of breaking the drill gearbox, Totally my fault jamming it between joists, and they gave me a complete new combi set new batteries the lot.

Cant beat them for the price, imo.

As an addition to the Hikoki fleet....my 1st class sons,got me the Multivolt 115mm grinder,for father's day

Just as impressive,as the other kit...auto feature looked a gimmic,but proved a useful function during an afternoon of testing.

Recip saw,next... starting to look like an obsession...

This guy found a good way to use his new impact

Not good that.

Looks more like a combi drill set to a some level of torque.

Couldn't watch anymore though, it's painful viewing
