Metabo

Worst service ever. Bought METABO mitre from brights. Had it 5 months and 14 days. Used it a few times. Mitre broke. And took it back to brights. They sent it back to metabo as it's under repair warranty. Got a call to say. Sorry metabo wont do anything as not worth fixing as the bearing went and that I had started up mitre few times after bearing broke. And yes I did. Following metabo user manual trouble shooting page. If blade vibrates. Check blade is fastened and start. If blade vibrates stop. Check if properly installed and start. And so on. Check for wood chips. Remove chips and start.. how was I suppose to know or even imagine that bearing broke. How is that possible in 5 month with minimal use. Clearly long life product should be removed from there title and the warranty is not even worth the paper its written on. Mitre cost me R3399 from brights as I was told by powertool department. This is the one. They wont see me again. I have a ryobi mitre cut off I bought 8 years ago. Never one problem. Well done ryobi. Now I'm back to using ryobi as metabo just said sorry. Metabo you are starting to slip. After service is what makes a product worth its money.
