Talking to a mate in the pub last night and he reckoned that these
drill/drivers are excellent. Bit worse for wear when I got home but seem to
remember him saying that it comes with a lifetime parts and labour warranty
and a free service every year (note that I don't know if that's available
everywhere or is just a special offer local to the place he bought his
from - which is not from the place linked to).

Anyway, what do the panel think?

Others have much more experience than I. But the AEG is primarily for
screwdriving - it has a maximum speed of 575rpm - which really is too
slow for most drilling and other purposes.

I don't think I have heard of an annual service for a drill. (At least
not in recent decades.)

The only thing I can see against the Makita is that it has NiCad cells.
Many here will say they work well - but I am certainly hoping that by
the time I need a replacement, it will be LiIon (or whatever is the flavour.

onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
