Bro...you may try Living Depot in Puchong, i think its on 499 with some freebies. So tempted to buy but in the end got a B&D impact drill/driver
710W for home use only. If I got project, sure sapu the makita 2470 liaw.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I saw that too. Is it the L-shaped rotary hammer? It's look sold with all metal casing, and looks heavy too . If I am not mistaken it has drill and drill + hammer mode, NO hammer only mode. One of our member had a bad experience using the 'hypermarket' cap ayam rotary hammer.. I only tried Boyai brand, which seem to be a good alternative to the well branded one. How about to look at your local hardware shop, and ask them for a cheap, good and relaiable rotary hammer. If possible get the one that has 'chisel/hammer only mode. It's really comes handy...

aneip, bosch 2-26dre is around rm600+-

End up getting Makita 2470.. RM500 with 1 sets of small bit, chuck adapter, big bit (demolition type)..

Still can't test out coz need to find some free time..

Congratulations and great to have another rotary hammer user here. Looking forward to read your review of your new toy

Hmm fellow DIY friends. Is anyone interested in my B&D Latest 12V Battery screwdriver d rill

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry48631381

I only used it twice, once to install just 1 curtain rail, another time to install some wall sockets, just a few pieces. The drill still running on its first charge. Around 6 months old, but it was just kept aside. Warranty until 2012 July

It comes with Carrying Plastic Box, Charger, Manual, Screw bits, Battery, the machine itself. I can COD anytime, but do PM/call me to nego.

I really have no need for it, i have the Bosch Rotary Hammer 2-26DFR

Thanks.

How about Hammer Drill Bosch GBH 2-24 DSE. Is it worth to buy? Or better buy Makita 2470?

From the manual GBH 2-24 DSE (24 mm) seem to be a good choice too. It is a 3 modes rotary hammer (with chiseling mode), and should be enough for everyday use. I never seen it before, but, if it is from Bosch, then nothing will goes wrong about it. If the price is good, then go for it... and don't forget to give your view, here.

TQ

Thanks TS for your reply. Sure will share some review once i bought it. I saw they sell it for rm250, but I'm afraid that it is the fake one.

mrPOTATO : Ooo..want to get the HR2810? Great... and it kept in cabinet like precious item?... Double Great. ... HR2470 is much cheaper, lighther and enough for most of DIY tasks. If you are serious to drill a lot, why not to get the HR2810 or bigger such as this middle class heavyweight HR3210C (AVT)., which cost around MYR1k and a strong hands (4kg)

AXM brand ... mmm.. never heard of it... To make sure it is a rotary hammer ,
1) The maximum size of masonry drill bit is MORE than 13mm. Typically, it starts from 16mm.
2) It must use SDS+ drill bits, where you need to slot/slide in the drill bit and it will locked in it's place. No chuck tightening needed.
BTW, if your tool can make your jobs done, then, it is good for you.

mnhamin : MYR250 for Bosch GBH 2-24DSE? Wow, that's a great deal. Is it the new, refurbished or second hand? Ask the tokey all the details and why it is at that price.

TQ.

Lets c how long i can tahan this axm, no fun to use cos can feel the vibration, unlike the rotary i c in the vids like so easy to use. Does using the rotary feel different in the hands from using normal drills ? Haih... Mus b not popular cos the shopkeeper said no need xtra charge for credit card & threw in a free drill bit

Yes, it is easy to drill into concrete and even easier into typicall brick wall. Now let's do a simple calculation...

Impact drill has about 30,000 to 50,000 ipm (impact per minute) to 'vibrate' the drill bit into masonry. In the video clip, it took 1 minute to drill into the concrete block... as assume it has 30,000 bpm. So, my hands received 30,000 beats of numbing vibration.. In addition, I need to PUSH hard and this increase the feel of the vibrations.

Now, HR2810, rotary hammer, has 4500 bpm, (blows/beats per minute)... and it really blews away the concrete while drilling at full power. It took 3 seconds, and my hands received 225 beats in terms of small and feel good vibration. Rotary hammer has air cushion, which absorb most of the un-comfortable vibartions, and channels it to drill bit. I also not need to push hard. A small force just to keep the rotary hammer in place, and everything is taken care by the rotary hammer. Yes, at certain condition, it 'walks' or inches into concrete by itself.

225 vs 30k beats ... Remember it is for ONE, again, ONE hole. Imagine you need to drill 20, 30, 50 of holes into walll or concrete....

I hope I described the feeling properly.

Anyone with rotary hammer, can share your impression, comparing the 'feel' on the rotary hammer vs impact drill. here.

Thank you.

Good morning guys,

Anyone know where I could get skil 1715? Iv been to the hardware store in ikano and publika but they don't carry em. Iv been searching high and low for this but to no avail. If you guys would let me know where (pref. around Bangsar, Hartamas or mutiara Damansara area), I'll appreciate it. Thanx in advance!

Cheers.

Hi JinXXX,

if u really want to get skil then search here for a distributor/dealer near you

Hi,

I called home fix to enquire but don't think they carry 1715. They have other models tho.

But thank u for the suggestion.

Cheers.

I got mine from here at AllFix. Online store RM309 inclusive of delivery. Its the same price with other online stores, they charge at RM300 excluding shipping which will set you back to RM9 at least.

Cheers man.
