Heard Milwaukee aren't what they used to be. Still not bad but maybe not worth the premium price tag.

There was a deal on here last December for a Makita Combi Drill with 2 x 3ah batteries from the Plumbcenter
for £119.99. I ordered it but when I went to pick it up they had none
left. I complained so they offered me a Brushed Milwaukee set with 2 x
4ah batteries (can't remember the exact model off the top of my head) but it was retailing around £180. I took it, but it wasn't really what I wanted so they knocked a further £20 off the price. Within
two weeks of using it only a few times for a project, the chuck had
developed a wobble.
I rang the Plumbcenter and they
instructed me to call Milwaukee. I remember having problems actually
finding a number for their UK customer service so I called my nearest
Milwaukee service center (which wasn't too near) and they said the chuck
wasn't covered under a Milwaukee guarantee. More alarmingly, the
engineer I spoke to said he has numbers of them in for repair so he
doesn't/wouldn't stock them to sell himself for this reason. This was
said by a Milwaukee service center affiliate found through their UK
website so I believe there was merit in what he had to say.
I was
lucky the fault happened not long after purchase so I was able to get a
refund from the Plumbcenter. Alongside other sources,
I find HUKD members opinions useful for gauging the quality of a
product I have limited knowledge of so I thought I'd contribute my
experience with a Bushed Drill from Milwaukee.

I have a 2012 Milwaukee M18 combi drill, and a 2014 Milwaukee M18 Impact driver and the battery design is still the same as now.
Both have been faultless, build quality is superb, I would not hesitate to buy Milwaukee again.

Excellent offer. Absolutely superb gear, for me Milwaukee sets the benchmark for the rest.

You have clearly never used a Festool or Hilti then I presume.

Now if I had the money Festool would be on my list

If I could afford Festool and or Hilti for that matter I wouldn't need power tools, I'd be sat back sipping a single malt watching someone else doing the graft.

Excellent price, most other shops charge 200+ Vat just for the Combi drill and batteries. Effectively the impact driver is free.
The Combi is brushless too.

Exactly what I thought. I need a new drill for work so think this might be the one
