kruton Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 slight upgrade !! [emoji14]That is for sure! Honestly though I got the Ryobi to try out since they seem to have a reputation of not being a great brand so I wanted to see for myself. I'll be honest I have been really surprised about how well it has worked so far. That being said, the Ryobi is stuck in my office at work and my Bosch, Makita and Milwaukee drills are at home where I use them all of the time!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the batteries are holding up very well. A buddy of mine does contracting and still, all of his cordless are blue Ryobis (like my Dad who contracts part time on the side) and he swears by them.

jbw55 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 When I ordered my Fein drill I was told they were expecting thier shipment early next week but just recieved the tracking number, so it looks all of us that ordered should have them about the same time....woohoo can't wait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Argyropoulos Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Just ordered one now, same low price. I really don't know how they're doing it so cheap. The ASCM series is the one they make in house in Deutschland - not the ASB series which are actually rebranded Milwaukees. If I could I'd get two, but I can't afford that at the moment. Looks like I might finally have a reason to put my venerable Metabo up on eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I read a post from one of the Tool up sales people and it looks like they don't normally sell these but they do sell the multi tool lineup. I'm assuming they worked out the special with Fein but yeah, that is why I got this one. German made, not rebranded. Plus the multi chuck is pretty sweet. I will say from what I've read the rebranded TTI / Milwaukee is made to Feins standards and is supposedly a decent drill and somewhat different. Amazing how much the drill, hammer and impact look just li,e Milwaukee M18 older tech though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I had to jump in and buy one also. It sucked money wise but at $169 it's a no brainier. I doubt a price this good will happen again. I wonder what the story is with this pricing. I also wonder what other chucks might work with this drill.

Peter Argyropoulos Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Mine's on it's way. Woot! I'm looking for a buyer for my Metabo at this point, but it's a hard sell locally - not many people know the brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder what other chucks might work with this drill.When I bought mine I ask the same question "why so cheap" they said they buy in large quantities and are one of the largest retailers of the brand.....regardless the reason they gave me its a killer deal for an awesome tool, I really didn't need another drill but I buy stuff all the time I don't need LOL!!

DR99 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I got mine in today. The drill is pretty sweet it's really well balanced and super quiet when you use it. My only issue is I got 2ah batteries with my kit when they said 4ah on the spec sheet. I don't know if it was an error there or the drill I was shipped.

jbw55 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Recieved mine today, impressive kit.....nice touch on the form fitted foam insert and the bit accessory. Mine has the 4ah batteries. If anyone is on the fence on this one I would snag one up before there gone, even if you don't need one ha ha. for $169 its a steal.
