Hi Comardes

I have the intention of getting a unit this weekend, waited for new shipment close to 2yrs now. Was spellbound when I contacted the Einhell local agent the stock just arrived. Einhell is a German machine tool brand but many products now China made...

Having second thoughts that being made in China, I wonder did the Chinese cut corners like making the belt pulleys from cast iron to plastic or the guard cover being plastic instead of extruded metal casing?

If the pulleys were plastic will adversely lower the spinning torque and plastic guard will not last long before crack lines appear.

Have anyone used Einhell SB501most recent product painted in dark blue instead of the usual grey? I googled this press drill which many appeared in eastern European countries instead of UK.

Hope any kind soul would share some light over my plight?
Thanks inadvance.

Hi Steve,
Not quite sure what you are asking here.
Maybe your command of English is impeding your direct questions.
 
From what I can make out, you are asking questions about product quality that cannot be answered until the final product is delivered.
 
Are you proposing to become a distributor of Einhell products?
 
If so, you should be asking these questions of your suppliers, and not posing these questions on a End User Forum!
 
I may have got the wrong end of the stick here, please elucidate.
 
kind regards

Steve.
 
I take it that you are thinking of buying one of these machines, but the blue ones are now made in China and the grey ones were made in Germany and therefore (possibly) of better quality?
 
If that is right, then at least I understand the question OK
 
However, I have never come across this brand of tool in the UK before and so can't let you know about any differences between the old and new versions of their drilling machine.
 
Hopefully, someone from mainland europe will have these available locally and so be able to help you further.
 
 
Martin.

You don't really hear much about metalworking einhell tools in the UK, they seem to mainly do handheld power tools.
 
ebay.co.uk has zero einhell products in metalwork milling and welding today.

Hi comrades
 
Sorry if my question mislead anyone, as I have said getting a unit-1item (not a new distributor for Einhell) and I waited for the shipment referings to Einhell local agent to replenish their stock.
 
My other questions are asking end users of their experiences with Einhell press drill.
Anyway since this brand is not popular in the UK, don't think of any help except in Europe. Also did email some feedback to Einhell UK and Germany.
 
I doubt the grey ones were German made either when I inspected it few years back of their low price.
 
Thanks.
 
Steve
