I stumbled upon receipt of the article about the fact that although a check mark on the package of Prüfgemeinschaft Mauerbohrer (PGM) emblazoned (see. [...]), But in the list of PGM-certified manufacturer Fa. Metabo ever not appearing , Because then I made sure that I'm possibly be eating a piracy have checked with the Association for the Assessment, I learned that the Fa. METABO distributes the SDS-plus drill bits only by their names and the real Manufacturer No .: 35 (who , was not betrayed me) is one of the PGM-certifed producers.
Unlike the buyer Nick Croft, however am (tried 5 and 6 Series, went to the wall as in butter) with the SDS-plus drills highly satisfied; since wobbles absolutely nothin '!!! If necessary, It was also at Nicks drill?
But I can also imagine that METABO has changed the manufacturer of the drill since 2012 and the manufacturer was 2012 may not PGM certified me.
The PGM certifed yes certainly not anyone who is not at three in the trees. Otherwise, the certificate is indeed nothing worth!
For service life of the drill of course I can not say anything because I have so far only drilled 3 holes in reinforced concrete (only pre-drilled with 5mm drill bit, then reamed with 6mm drill, probably would have gone directly to the 6mm-drill).
I wear to but once I once drilled a few more holes ...
