We never see savings like this over here.
-
I forget these kind of things are so much cheaper over there than here.
For those kind of prices even if it needs a bit of feckling and altering it sounds like they are worth the money.
You can always e-mail the company who makes them and ask if it will be compatible with your Milwaukee.

I would build my own Pal.
It is easier than you think and could be very interesting project.

Ah I see the difference now Pal I thought you meant the World War 2 tools that as you say were shipped over from the U.S.

We get a few over here that come up for sale now and again Pal.

Avoid the hell out of any tool with anything but Lithium Ion batteries Pal.
You are spot on that if the tool is even unused but several months old the batteries will be nackerd.
An example is my Pal who has 3 batteries for his Dewalt none of them are Lithium ion. One of my 3ah Lithium ion batteries for my Metabo outlasts ALL his batteries combined.

True Very true

Hmmmm B&Q did have them on offer a few weeks ago but never mind.
The best thing to remember is do not buy anything unless the batteries are Lithium Ion, I say this over and over because ALL other batteries left in the shed,under the stairs or in the Garage a few months unused are dead as a bag full of dead things and all your money is wasted unless you start buying expensive new replacement batteries.

They are only built for very light chiselling Bud and even then only for about 15 to 20 mins max at a time.
I have heard this one a few times. Make sure you get it looked at by the way because it does sound like it has got an issue with the hammer action.

Frogs,Newts, water, and lots of badly smelling stuff LOL.
The cellar has been stripped back and refurbished now so it no longer a stinking rotting mess

They had some Hitachi 18v lithium on offer Pal they are a bloody good little drill for what you describe.
-
If in doubt take it back and explain what is happening.
From experience, the sooner you take it back the easier it is to get things sorted out if it is indeed the tool at fault.

I plugged the 110v drill into the site transformer I have and I am so amazed it burst into life a bit noisy but having said that planers are noisy little things.
But big respect to Dewalt because this has to be number one in the Tools in action Captain Scarlet awards.
( Captain scarlet was a children's program in the U.K. )

No Pal but I will take some before I do the final clean up as you will see the water staining and surface corrosion on the base e.t.c.
I must admit too that there was a lot of oil about and my hands were full so forgot to take some earlier but will also photograph the guide e.t.c and the rusted metal Dewalt tool box this may also yet be saved

A few weeks ago Readers may have remembered we found some submerged Dewalt tools in a flooded property which had been left for several months and possibly up to 3 years on a job.
These were going to be thrown away,so just for fun I have had a go at drying them out and seeing what it took to get them going again.
The old 14.4v drill we found still has a chuck that is solidly clamped around a bit holder and will not undo, and the batteries which although they were above the water line are nicad so are also nackerd really so that ends that part of the story.
But here is the astonishing part. The 110v site voltage planer was solid and nothing moved on it at all,it looked like an impossible task to get it running again but being a big daft building type and also a Brit ( we never give up lol) I blasted it in every place for a week in WD40 and slowly bits started to move and over the days it got looser and looser until now I have been able to pull the case off and oil all the bits.
Tomorrow is D day for this planer as I will be plugging it into the power and firing it up.
If as I think it will, this tool bursts into life and gets used on a job, I will be amazed but also Very Very impressed.
I will post tomorrow after work and let you folks know how it goes.

Isn't it annoying that each manufacturer seems to have this problem apart from Dewalt who seem to have the globe just about covered?

I would not go getting too exited about brushless tools.
My Metabo 18v is more powerful than the fuel yet it is a 4 pole brushed motor hence it produces more torque.
