Hi all!

Im about to buy an impact drill. Whats the difference between GSB 500RE and GSB 10RE?

If not mistaken, the drill itself is same. But gsb500re is bundle with kits. While gsb10re is only the drill selling.

Both come with 100pc kits actually. Searched in Lazada. Thats why I'm asking here whats the difference. =/

There is no different. Probably different country model no.

But you better get a higher model like GSB13RE. This 10re are not that powerfull drill.

Where can I find GSB13RE? Just came back from Ace Hardware and all they had was GSB500RE. Online also cant find,only found GSB16RE.

I check on their website http://www.bosch-pt.com.my/my/en/impact-dr...-re-131432.html

Just go to any bosch dealer and check. Hardware shop. If no stock, order from them.

Thinking to buy a rotary hammer. Bosch GBH 2-23 REA and GBH 2-26 DRE, which one is more suitable for minor drilling works at home? Also, where can I get at cheapest price?

I wonder if GSB 13RE is the same as GBM 13RE?

GBM 13RE is just a drill function. Which is only for metal and wood. Doesn't have impact function for wall drilling.

Meaning I should get the GSB 13RE to do works on masonry and concrete?

Yes.

Hi everybody,

Want to ask a noob question, do the cordless 10.8v combi drills really can drill into walls? I'm in the market for a cordless drill and like the size of the bosch gsb and gsr 10.8v li-2. Any owners of a gsb 10.8v can vouch for wall drilling? just to hang shelves/cabinet/toilet fittings. I already own a gsb10re but would love the cordless. Or should i just get the gsr 10.8 and match it with the gsb10re?

Get the gsb 10.8v and match the GSB10RE. GSB10.8 can't use for wall. Only for drilling and screw driving.

Cordless for wall is slow.

Thanks Ozak, appreciate the input. Just for discussion sake, at what voltage point would a cordless impact drill be able to drill holes in malaysian walls?

Those 18v cordless impact drill can drill concrete. But don't expecting it as powerfull as cord type and do the job fast. It is not as cheap as cord type too.

Thanks for the info.

You want power cordless ? Nah --> http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/T...x?Name=HRH01ZX2

Almost 5.5kg, 5 mins holding you hand will be painful

All this power tools here are running on 18v battery. Some require 2x battery to get the power to work.

Cordless power tools are getting popular. Wait a bit longer for the technology and you get a more powerfull tools. It is coming. Price too will get cheaper. But not at the moment.

You can't see much this cordless powertools here. But it already getting common in western. The price cheap for them. But not us.

man's heaven...
