The Makita SDS drill we bought was used just 3 times over a period of 10 months - then it "s**t" itself. Well looked after and no abuse, so actually it wasn't fit for purpose. Guarantee only 1 year. Returned it to supplier (in Ireland) who sent it to Fermanagh (Northern Ireland, UK) for REPAIR would you believe! Three weeks on and we're still without it.... "on the bench" apparently whilst they decide whether to repair or replace. Absolutely disgusting. Should be replaced with a new one and a fresh 1-yr guarantee. Supplier doesn't bother to update me at all, so I have to chase. By the time I get it back the guarantee will be almost out. Will not buy a Makita anything again ever.
