I had good a Hitachi set, drill/impact driver. Both died/burnt out. Replaced batteries twice. Far out the batteries aren't cheap!
Couldn't justify spending that same sort of coin on replacement tools for DIY, and needed some when I built my shed, so rocked into Mitre10 and bought their cheap Black and Decker 18v set.
Those tools are still going strong, have done easily twice the amount of work and were a fraction of the price!
Found the impact driver in the sandpit last week, full of sand, don't know when the boy took it out there. Thought it'd be stuffed, but no, blew it out with the compressor, sat it by the fire for a night to dry out and it's still going![]()
