got it like 2-4 days after online payment. AllFix sells the Bosch XL bits too so you could order them one shot.

Oh it doesn't come with the drill bits isit? I'm gonna use it mostly on simple home DIY stuff...like drilling hole to hang shelf and such

comes with 6, 8, 10 mm and chisel SDS+ bits. will be sufficient for short depths only, ~<6cm.

The 150mm and longer drill bits are not that expensive. You can buy them later. Better get a high quality drill bits, such as Makita TCT, Bosch S4L or X5L, which are a bit pricier but, it really long lasting and drill more effectively.

bahathir how much did you pay for Makita TD-0101F ? i am quoted rm260 for this. thanks

Last I check 4 months ago, CT selling this model below 300. Think it was 290

I bought at about that figure. It is rare to find CORDED impact driver these days. Most of the impact drivers are cordless, which are more expensive and high maintenance.

Ic, nvm i guess i am getting the bosch gdr10.8 cordless for rm300 instead for mobility

Great choice. the GSR is small and lightweight cordless impact driver. Enough for most of typical screw/nut driving. If you start using impact screw driver, you may not going back for normal (electric) screw driver, or even manual hand screw driver. he heh eh . The best part of impact driver is, it did not slipping which may damaging screw head. When the impact feature kicks in, you can feel the 'power' driving the screw.

Cordless is good for light and medium duty tasks for DIYERs like us, but, if you work all day long making furnitures, corded impact driver is the best in term of econony and durability. I choose CORDED impact driver because, I don't have to buy new battery rpelacement, and I can use it anytime I wanted to use it.

Good luck and happy DIYing.

where u getting it for 300 bucks ?

Just trying Makita 2470.. I mush said, I should get this earlier.. Drilling is now effortless.. even 10mm hole, usually I need to used 5mm 1st with normal drill.. If not, cannot go in.. Now directly using 10mm, the drill go in just like that..

BTW, next tools will be those Bosch Multi-Cutter. Seems like many use.. But hopping for cheaper version maybe from makita if any. Also corded also fine with me.. Any suggestion?

aneip: Thank you for your review, and great to hear that. I hope the rotary hammer can ease your jobs and increases productivity in future. !0mm is still 'kacang' for HR2470.

jinXXX, the market price in shop i think is around 350-380 bucks. i think still can nego.

i know the market price.. you said 300 i was surprise if really 300 can just get it

hi guys, i found something useful for drill users, this item can convert to impact driver, for a cheaper price for around rm 100-120

In this clip, I showed how I drill holes into wall with ceramic tiles.

But the special thing is, I am using rotary hammer with 1/4" hex adapter to use my impact driver's screw bit. A bit awkward and difficult, but it can done...

Enjoy

thanks for this video. you are right, my impact drill is practically useless.
btw i like to ask one thing - i bought a tile bit and by the time i drill two holes, the whole bit koyak. why like that?
dont tell me my tile too hard?


another common question - how not to drill into wirings or pipes?


im going to buy a rotary drill like yours.

idoblue, did you change the mode of impact drill to normal drill? plus did the head overheat?

I think I was using impact mode. Wrong ka?
Forgot overheat or not
But after I was done that drill bit like no more head already hahaha...

Drilling with tile bit must use normal mode. Using impact mode will break the tile and bit. Normal tile bit can only be used on the soft ceramic tile, for hard ceramic tile must use the diamond tile bit.
Use low speed and spray water to the bit to prevent overheating. Heat will ruin your bit.
