Metabos here, prices not bad, still too much for me ( hobby use now) brushless basic (no battery) not bad price.

You mean you loaned your grinder to your friend, who chopped it up. Removing a clamp is legal, damaging it is against the law and of course you'd never do anything like that, and you'd certainly never publicise it all over the internet right?

I would

I buy my Milwaukee's from the states, much cheaper than here

Being ill-informed as to buying from the states and import charges am I right to think (from a quick look on eBay) that the best you'll manage for an M18 Mil is around £100? If so that's enough, I can resist the temptation.

It's OK buying from the states if you have a mate living there

The exchange rate is bad at the moment. When i got mine,they were nearer £70 all in.

Ooh, I'd probably have one at that price. Good thing they're a bit more as I lack the strength to say no

I've had one of these Rolson brand ones for a few years . Came with two 18v batteries. It's very grunty on full charge tbh but does run down quick. If I'm going to use it it tends to be for de- burring with a flap disc. Good for the £50 I paid though.

I got offered a Milwarkee body with 2x5A batteries just yesterday for i think £170 from local tool/hire place, is that good?

 

[Bill Edwards]

I reckon that's not bad. The 5a batteries haven't been around all that long and boast more power (20% more?) and are not cheap (£58 each off eBay) and a couple of years ago the offer price I was given of a grinder body was £120

 

[bigegg]

The five amp batteries are 60 each. Charger?'another 35.
So yes - certainly not a bad price.
Once you have batteries and Uk charger, a grinder body would set you back c. 90? quid so yes. Very good price.
Especially if you get a uk warranty.

Yes, it might be the first generation model, there is now a brushless motor model but that is very spendy I think.
Never had a problem with the brush motors, so I would rate that as a good buy.

Yea I'll double check as it's not that price on their website by a long shot, but I was in there getting gas and gibbering away to the sales man he made me aware of the special offer.
