since i started ive only ever owned or used dewalt. reason i brought all dewalt was because all the other lads i was working with owned them and the batteries were compatable!
so my 12v driver has been repaired 3 times in 4 years, (trigger, chuck, ??)
18v driver chuck locked open, replaced, li-ion charger stopped charging, replaced, and drill now only works when upside down (carbon brushes maybe?)
18v flouescent tourch wont ignite the tube, tube replaced, still wont fire! new torch needed!
24v now has a limited hammer action, no precision, was replaced twice in first year after clutch was slipping and electric break quit!
i service them every now and again, and use the supplied grease when its looking dry!
the other lads have been having similar problems too! must say my mate gave me an old 110v dewalt and it takes an absolute beating on a daily basis and the only sign of wear is the cord!
ive got dewalt 18v jigsaw, grinder, site radio, circular saw, laser, and 110v chop saw im reluctant to replace the working items!
