it is best to buy 3 year guarantee cheapo tools for DIY or heavy DIY. If
they clap out after 3 years you have lost little. For every day trade use
Makita. £160 for a battery drill is not exactly cheap.

I can't agree with you there.

I can see where you get your (flawed) logic from, but you're
missing one very important factor - the performance of the tool
during those 3 years. I've tried £30 cordless drills, and
compared to something like the Erbauer, with a good quality
motor, decent speed control, good batteries, and a great
charger, they are just crap.

Same goes for el-cheapo SDS drills.
