Test the drilling slow for the 1st 1-1.5cm. Drill in for few mm than stop. check. Nothing, drill few mm again and stop. Check. If between 1-1.5cm have no problem, than all the way.

HI,

Anyone bought things from CT hardware before?
Does their final price is much better than the price posted on their web site?

I bought most of my tools from CT hardware via gemfive/lazada/11street. Very reliable tool dealer and their shipping is very fast with Gdex.

Another reliable online tool retailer which I frequently patron is Corated Malaysia, also fast shipping via skynet.

You can purchase direct from CT Hardware e-store directly but not much discount to be use tho....

MY office is near CT hardware shop so I was thinking to go visit the shop. Touch touch first before buying. Maybe go physically can nego better discount hahaha.

I found another shop which generally has cheaper online price. www hupsenghware.com. Their shop is in Sri Kembangan, a bit too far...

Btw, those RM50 discount from 11st, lazada etc not really big effect when the purchase amount is bigger.
I believe these powertools margin is quite high.

You can get better deal if buy from the shop.

Yes hupseng seri kembangan generally cheaper but no discount when purchase online. This shop is near to my place but trouble is no parking there ( end shop at the main seri kembangan road )....if your office is near to CT, then pay a visit there and nego nego with them personally. Usually i will purchase online only when there is a huge discount offer....highest discount i ever got is 40% and lowest is 20%. Anything below 20% i wouldn't be bother...lol. Another recomended online hardware worth to check it out is atkc in banting.

I suppose you can get cheaper deal if purchase high value tool or buy few tools in 1 go....but i always do my homework first by checking their online pricing first. My few favourite online price checking is ct hardware, corated malaysia, hupseng hardware and atkc.....

Brought a Bosch sander from CT shop. Negotiate the price. Better than online.

This is 1 of the good buying from shop when you can interact with the boss direct.

May I know you paid with cash or card?

My house already 10+ years old and start to have things broken/crack.
Many incoming weekend projects.

Time to do a refresh on my toolset.

Card la.

I only carry RM50 in my wallet.

But CT only sell bosch and cheaper brand range powertools.

I prefer like Makita and others choice.

Since I already bought the Bosch batteries then continue use lor.
Btw, some of the hardware shop can give you additional 6% discount if you pay by cash.

Ya. Cause they minus out the bank charge them for the transaction fee.

And old generation boss like to see cash than nothing.

For household use, bosch is till ok. But some tools are not that good design.

The Bosch sander I brought is already show some design reliable issue. If use for cari makan, it already breakdown long.

True.You may also get free gift or special discount when purchased other things together at the shop. Last time i purchased miter saw, the price different was RM100 compare to CT@Lazada ,i also get free gift bosch thermos ,free safety google and have special discount when purchased irwin measurement tape together.

The boss told me online shop not always cheaper.

I just come back from CT shop.
Asked about the price of the Bosch 18V 4.0Ah battery. Quoted me RM300+ which is even more expensive and their online price in Lazada @ rm288.

Or maybe I need to select a few K worth of item then only got good discount?

final price is only RM220.50 from CT Hardware via gemfive for Bosch 18V 4.0Ah battery....better hurry cos the discount code will be expire soon.

Check the market price 1st before go in. That give you better price to nego.

Show him the online price. Ask him direct.

Sometime I ask direct. Online selling this price. Can you give better than this? No, than walk out.

How you get that low? I just registered a gemfive account. Is there a special coupon code for that?
*its ok I got the code. Thank for the tip*
