Equipment for a professional workshop. Which brand to choose Metabo Makita DeWal

Hello
I start steel production. I am currently struggling with the purchase of power tools. It's about angle grinders, mandrel drills, screwdrivers.
I am asking you, my colleagues, for help in choosing a company from which the equipment would be bought.
The equipment will be used mainly for work with steel, grinding, cutting drilling, etc.
As for the topic, I am thinking about buying from 3 companies Metabo Makita and DeWalt. (in the current plant where I work, we use the Hilti brand and it is an unbeatable equipment, but the price is a bit too high for me at this moment)
I am asking you for help and your experience regarding:
- reliability
- warranty service
- cost and availability of spare parts

Angle grinders go to the first fire

Best wishes

The cheapest in possible repairs is Makita, DeWalt repair costs are significant as in Hilti, Metabo I do not know. All you need to do is to see the prices of rotors or breakers.

Hilti, this is not the hilti ....
For a long time (2 years) I use only metabo, mainly aku 18V. So far, I have not had contact with the service .... A colleague, too, only
Metabo, in 2 years he fell 1 aku, after 3 days he got a new one.
The equipment is solid, it's "good" in your hand - I recommend it.
Arek

And I have some milwaukee equipment and I can recommend it. Hitachi is doing well, but in the event of failure, expensive repairs.
Everything depends on the service, you need to know and feel when the equipment is overloaded, when the bearing begins to rustle, when the brushes end, etc.
For myself, I would buy branded, for (sometimes thoughtless) employees - cheaper and good as DWT etc. hardware strong, metal drill bodies.

Grinding machines certainly not Makita. Better Bosch.
Metabo, if produced in Switzerland, then take it, and do not look at the price.

That's it with everything.
Hili, it's no longer Hilti, Mercedes, ladies once did a million kilometers.
The vacuum cleaner, as you turned on in the morning, turned it off in the evening.
The battery operated for 15 years.
And the accountant cried because we produced for good equipment and no one is buying our products anymore.
And we will produce the remark, let it break, let it have no spare parts, let them buy new ones.
And so it works, unfortunately. What you do not buy is to break down because the company has to live off something.

Boy, are you on Mr. Robert's percentage or what? Bosch was good, yes - twenty years ago. If I had to take it, I would not even think about it - Makita. Even though I have some Bosch, a bit of Celma, a bit of Elprom and Eltos.

I think exactly the opposite when it comes to grinding machines. Generally, I advise you to avoid very well-known brands in our market, because they do popularity analysis and eat on the brand name by making sells like for example VW for many years in cars.

Hello, I will run away from the subject, I have relied on hilti and makita, and as for Makita I have a saw for this brand oil fuel all in accordance with the manufacturer's standards. taken from the upper half two and a half years, she did not go on earnings, iiii this is not the makita, why AEG ELECTROLUX did not quite sell

I also have a dilemma and I also take these 3 from the first post. I am going to make the whole set: grinder, drill and hammer drill.
Has something changed in the topic for half a year? I work in Switzerland so I could buy something ... just choose?

Hello
I decided on Metabo power tools (made in Germany in Lerua I saw Metabo from China much cheaper but I did not risk) and I do not complain. I use angle grinders and mandrel grinders. Very solid equipment. Sometimes he gets a good impression and does not even hare. At the same time it lies well in the paw. I recommend for my part.

Thanks for the information, I will look in Swiss or German stores. I worked a few years in Norway in heavy industry and was just an old Bosch ... not spared, when you had to always gave advice. After some time, they bought a new Metabo, which started to fall after a year .. and this "diode" next to the cable . Now at work we got such "bows" GWS 12-125 CIP, "angular" strong only again "modernization" switch and one hand you do not do, unless you have a forearm like Popey. I always wonder why someone improves something that is good.
And I write about "angles" .. "simple" Metabo gave advice.

My dilemma looks like this:
angle grinders: DWE4257, 9565CVR or WEV 15-125
hammer drills: D25144K, HR2470T or GBH 2-26
Drill: DCD730C2 (734), AEG BS18C or METBO BS 18 Quick

I advise against due to the batteries. They fall like flies.
I have this model, the first battery fell on the warranty, exchanged in 3 days.
Another just after the end of the warranty. At a colleague who recommended the screwdriver the same situation. Equipment used mainly for assembly (screwing in m3 / m4), drilling in plastics, reaming steel. I also glanced under the confrymblers when I put my brother's furniture. Because the topic did not give me peace, we went with a friend for exchange of links. It helped. I have an interesting observation about the charger. Probably the manufacturer went a little easier and did not make the full package of the balancer. Only full voltage is output (14.4 between 4 links, and voltage after 1 and 3 link.) No output after 2 links. This can affect the life of the cells.
The screwdriver itself is flawless, although the diode illuminating the working field is in a bad place and the fur makes a shadow. I saw better solutions

Thank you very much ... and this screwdriver was supposed to be a surety.
Somewhere, I read that screwdrivers have a "limit" of charging set to 300 (I do not remember what brand and I do not want to write that it was DeWalt), maybe that was the reason?
I suppose that with my current applications, the battery will not be charged more often than once a month.

As for grinding machines, it is only Makita or DeWALT. Makita has very cool GA5030R type small grinders, but DeWALT is more important in something because of the anti-vibration handles, dust rejection or keyless protection.
Screwdrivers are AEG because of the good and viable battery.

Or:
AEG BS18C for this DWE4257 and there is still a hammer drill:
D25144k (3J) and HR2470T (2.7J) ... I forgive Bosch

Have you met with the fact that the new Makita 9565 "Made in Romania" grinding machines have a sticker instead of a "convex" name?

If I were you, I would consider buying power tools from AEG, they have very good batteries, and the price is great, and they do not differ from the quality of workmanship and power of those power tools that cost assets. I have a rotary hammer, an account grinder and a screwdriver at my company and they are unbreakable.
