What are people'e opinions of De Walt tools? My right angle drill
packed up 1 day inside the 1 year warrenty period, thank god. I took
it to the service agents who suggested that DeWalt were rubbish and I
would have been better off buying something else.
For a drill to seriously overheat within a year of purchase seems to
suggest something amiss, especially as this was a right angle drill
and hardly got much use anyway.


Overheating a drill doesn't usually have much to do with age of it.
You could do that 5 minutes after you bought it, or never, depending
how you use it.


I did! I burnt my DW566 out. Entirely my fault.

Superb tool, and great spares availability/pricing. Will be buying many
more DeWalts.
