ChaseAnthony Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Anyone familiar with AEG tools in the USA? I recently moved to Philippines and had to surrender all my stuff in the move. I was forced to rebuy literally EVERYTHING once I got here.... there are 3-4 basic brands here ( all high end ) DeWalt, Bosch, Milwaukee and another I'd never heard of AEG.... I picked up a jig saw and miter saw and I must say i'm mightily impressed with both units. From what I understand they are GERMAN Made. Just wondered if anyone else has had a positive experience with this brand. I'm considering more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I haven't used AEG but they are a TTI brand like Ridgid. AEG is not available here in the USA for whatever reason. At least not through regular roots anyways. From what I have seen AEG has a larger tool base than Ridgid does in the USA. Also, the lifetime service agreement isn't offered for their tools. If I had to guess because of availability and popularity in EU and elsewhere.http://www.aeg-powertools.eu/Id also add I love AEG just because of their commercials. Honestly laughed my butt off when I saw this one and their impact driver commercial.. I saw these a few years ago and they still crack me up. The guy in the commercial is a pro arm wrestler and has a medical condition that makes him have the obvious deformity you'll see......

DR99 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 The AEG brand is German. All of the tools are made by TTI though and are made in China TTI licensed the name. Ridgid tools sold in the USA are the exact same tools though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 AEG does offer brushless tools though. I know it's coming from Ridgid but the AEG line has had them for some time. Two months ago Home Depit had a special on a Ridgid drill and it was the exact same basic 18v AEG tool. The motor housing was rounded and it looked "different" from most Ridgid tools, almost like a Ryobi in Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james10million Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Just started testing out the AEG myself, they sell exclusive to Bunnings (like Lowes or Home Depot) here in Australia. So far I am impressed, I am told that they are affiliated with Milwaukee in some way?I have been using there Multi Function Tool with interchangeable head, and it's awesome! I will be throwing up a video of it in action in a few weeks time, so keep an eye out.Sent from my 0PJA10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
