Just went looking for a spare batter for my PABH 18 Li A1 cordless SDS
drill.

The site first linked to said it wasn't servicing UK customers (bit
Ireland and elsewhere was O.K.) any more and redirected me to a German
site.

I am now terminally confused because I now can't find that site but can
find
https://www.einhelltools.co.uk/cmspage.php?page_id=69
which lists the battery, but at £49,99.

https://www.isc-gmbh.info/isc_de_de/...g/bohrhaemmer/
battery-for-pabh-18-li-a1-1.html
lists it at 35.58 Euros (but I haven't added shipping yet).

Nope, backtracked to Einhell UK and it is no longer refusing to service UK
customers. I am now bemused because on first access I was hit with a
redirect.

Now bought it through the UK site of https://www.isc-gmbh.info for £42.90
including VAT and shipping.

A lot of money for a battery but if the supply chain is playing up then
better to get one now.

To cap it all NatWest credit cards just went south for the winter so my
first payment attempt failed.

Some days are harder work than others. :-(

Still, having more than one credit card from more than one provider does
occasionally have some advantages.

Cheers

Probably nothing to do with Brexit.

In my admittedly limited experience of German Websites going back years,
despite choosing EN or clicking on the Union Jack, two layers deep
on any menu and they all revert to German.

Well that's better than Aldi - when I went looking for spares about 2 years ago the short story is they weren't gettable. Plenty of runaround but no go.

Spares? Nobody sell spares for anything much these days, or what few
they do are extortionate in cost.

That's bull**** with spare batterys for cordless tools.

Ryobi in fact uses the same battery config for years so
replacing the battery is trivially easy and not expensive.

Aldi isnt quite a good but so have just the batterys on special
buy periodically.

That's not a particularly new phenomenon. In the 1970s I called at a large
HiFi dealer in Tottenham Court Road. " You can't expect us to sell spares
for goods we stock!"

It's very erratic in-store. Online isn't too bad - usually.

Lidl consumables can be very expensive - 5 paper vacuum bags were not
much less than the vacuum. I had a bit of a moan at them about that, and
while I got something approaching an apology (I suggested they could
make people aware of the cost at the point of sale, and make consumables
available in the UK) I can't see it changing soon.

It isn't Brexit.

A lot of the overbranded Chinese imports seem to have spares issues.
If you have the time and patience to play detective, spares can often
be tracked down, sometimes through Alibaba and using the resultant
info in a search.

Things like batteries are probably best bought in advance as every
drill on the market seems to have its own particular shape and fit,
Lidl and Aldi seem to have different drills every month or so, with a
different body shape and battery every time.

The last thing I had problems with was a Titan shredder, blades do not
seem to be available, although for some reason Screwfix .ie have them
listed at £4-00 each, but out of stock. Go to the UK webpage and
nothing.

My Aldi version which is almost identical has them listed on an Erbaur
site at over £19-00 + delivery.

19-00 for a few cm of steel seems a bit excessive and is approaching
half the cost of the original shredder, bought under a red ticket.

I would guess Tool steel and an hour or two on the grinder may be a
solution.
