Not just pro, he also looks OTAI (old timer), or DIY sifu.

You want to get another jig saw set from amazon is it?

In before poison you.

Your Google map link has no marker.
Maybe you can correct the wrong position in my link for the benefit of out-of-towners?

Just go along that road, you will see a sign board on the left (If you come from rothman roundabout)

just to share some :
makita drill bits set rm25 ( for 6x110mm, 6.5x110mm, 8x160mm, 10x160mm and 12x160mm set)
Bosch s4l bit rm11.50 for 8x160mm
Alpen Made in Austria rm12 8x160mm

Hahaha... this thread rocks!!!! Before I read this thread, I don't know there is a different between normal drilling machine(I forgot it's name) and rotary hammer. I just assume all are 'normal drilling machine'.

But because of this thread, I now know about rotary hammer. I just bought one cheap rotary hammer at Giant call Starke Plus 710w at RM199. If wait another 3 more days, I can get the same machine at RM159.

I just buy the cheap one because I just need to make one hole only to pull network cable through wall. But I realize after using it for the first time, I felt in love with it. This machine super rock!!! Never regret buying it. But I don't know what to do with it after this. Maybe, I will using it to hang a picture or other stuff that normally I just use my 'normal drilling machine'.

I also read about the envelope thing to collect dust. Usually, I just use small box bigger than match boxes to collect dust while sticking it to the wall using masking tape. This box have been with me for more than 8 years and still collecting dust for me.

By the way, thanks Bahathir for the useful info and sharing knowledge.

Do they have special offer days or what?
What about Tesco?

I bought the machine on 20th March. The offer start on 23rd March until 11th April.

So, if I wait another 3 days, I will save RM40. But what to do. I can't read the future.

hello otai...juz want to know that is it enough for me to buy bosch 2-24 600w instead of 2-26dre 800w?..i only want to make hole on wall for rack and tv bracket..last time i bought black n decker 710watt but cannot do it into my old concrete wall im not remember the model wheter it was impact dril or hammer drill.

which bosch model is that? i cant see bosch 2-24, but got gbh2-23, actually most rotary hammer will do at home as most of the time we used 6-8-10mm holes only. btw i am using 2-26dre. can get around 600+-, or u can opt for makita 2470 @ rm500 also very powerful.

just curious..

anybody tried using the "hammer" function on the rotary hammer to

HAMMER NAILS ? , into wood/concrete ?
