I found that Bosch model, GBH 2-23 REA somewhere around Balakong, Serdang and Bangi, but I forgot which hw shop. It cost around over MYR800. In my case, I asked my son to hold vacuum cleaner near the location where I want to drill, which IMHO, has more sucking power (1500W) But, lecech sikit, because neead helpers to hold it.

Or try this tip.

Pay so much more just for the sake of dust free? well it won't be dust free, it still have 15 to 20% dust falling out.

What do you guys think about einhell and dewalt brand for rotary drill? most drills price is around 500-600 for size 24-26

makita 2470 rm500
Einhell rt-rh26 rm550
dewalt d25113k rm560
bosch 2-26dre rm600 btw what is diff with dre and the more exp dfr?

I think one model can remove the head easily.

i went and enquire d, its actually the same unit except it comes with 4 sds bid and another head.
so anybody got opinion with einhell brand?

Makita come with extra head too.

Makita rotary hammers have 2 type of chucks.
1) Fixed SDS+ chuck. You need to get optiional sds+ drill chuck if you want to use normal round shank drill bits. I bought the keyless chuck from China, but, the sds dapater's shaft is a bit bent, and it wobbles a lot during operation.

2) Quick Chuck, the modles HR-xxxxT, which ends with T, have Quick keyless Chuck, simlair to Bosch DFR series. These Makita models are NOT available for Malaysia market. The quick change drill chuck is more precise and easier to use.

Example Makita HR2811FT



Is is adviseable to NOT use the standard drill chuck for 'hameer or rotar hammering', because it might damaged due to frequent enormous impac from the rotary hammer's striker. If you want to drill a wood, get an SDS+ auger bits which are available at most hw stores.

TQ.

nice and useful tips here, even i myself could feel the anticipation of getting one for DIY drilling @ my new home.

Any recommendation for the 'budget' type? Skil 1715 ?

I not sure how it performs, but based on handling it at Living Depot@Bangi some months ago; it is lightweight multi purpose rotary hammer. SKIL brand is being in the industry for years, I am quite sure it is enough for normal DIY purpose, such as drilling hole in concrete up to 20mm. The price is very attractive and you may get severall SDS bits, drill chuck and several standard bits. Also, the build is much better than generic China made rotary hammers.

Typically, you only need 6mm masonry drill bit for MOST of the anchoring or fixing purpose.

If you got it, please do give your view here, as reference for others.

just for illumination purposes

If the intend material is not too thick & Hard think both will work.

also thought of wanting to cut a new hole on my computer casing... for a new fan outlet

For accurate and thick metal the round type is better. For thin metal or wood and general use (not accurate) the stick type will do.

The round type is more easy to control and drill compare the stick type.

Normally I use round type. But if thick metal and clean nice accurate hole, I use hydraulic hole cutter.

whats that ? a press bench ?

Don't no how to describe. Here the picture. Those round thing is a hole cutter with few size.
