Did not see Makita, only wide range of bosch and small range of skil.

Now i just need to know how strong is 1.5J, before buying 1715.

hahaha i also want to know how does one quantify the energy rating of 1.5J to 2.7J for makita with the bosch 3J



google is not helpinggggg

SKIL 1715 : MYR289 @Home Depot Bangi.
Makita HR2810 : see page 1
Makita HR2470 : MYR499 or less.. ask the hw shop which I posted in page 2.
Bosch GBH2-26 : Yup around that figure.

Impact power, in Joule, is how much ENERGY being transferred to the drill bits for EACH beat/impact. Example if you have 2.0J per impact, and 3000 impact/minute, it means that in a minute the drill bit gets 3000/60 sx2.0J = 200J/s. In other word, event though the impact energer is lower, but the total energy in 1 seconds is might higher than 3.0j @ 1200 impact/min.

hey guys,

"ride00", is helping me to get "Makita HR2470" for about 550ish there.. maybe cheaper if there are more people interested aka bulk..

Don't know if it work on concrete or red brick. The video show only on cement sand brick.

Maybe this is much better

Yes, it seem to works on 'softer' cement/sand brick wall. from I read somewhere in the youtube comments .

Nice tool. Will try to look for it.

yup NICE tool to have.. but not quite nessasary lol but its good if your into little self reno..

not sure if it can cut/chisel through cement./concrete eg the layer on the wall and also red bricks.. if can then its a SUPER GOOD TOOL...

I m DIY guy. This can use for some small reno. Should be no problem with sand brick and cement. And a bit harder on red brick I guess. But not sure about the concrete.

I believe it is more important on the rotary hammer side rather the tool. If your rotary hammer have a better strong impact, it should be able brick the concrete surface. And vise versa.

Great to see this topic 'growing' steadily. I really hope this topic can be the one of source of information related to drilling.

Purchasing rotary hammer might be quite difficult or burden for some of DIYers, but, considering time, pain and hassle to drill a hole, in long term, investment in rotary hammer may be the 'wise' investment. You can help neighbors, relatives or 'gotong-royong' or even a part time fixer with it.

Oya, beside drilling wall, I also use rotary hammer as a 'dumbbell' for my arms and hands exercises. It's weight 3.2 kg or 6.6 kg with carrying case, is good for the purpose, the result is, it make the rotary hammer felt 'lighter' when using/holding it.

I really like to hear some more experiences from you all.
Thank you.

Actually beside impact drill, I have many others power tool for my DIY job. Like makita chainsaw, makita circularsaw, Hitachi bench drill, bosh orbi sander, disc grinder, dremel small drill etc.

This tool is like my toy. But some don't no go where after lend to friend.

Big Boy's Toys.
Wow, that's amazing collection of power tools. Are you a professional carpenter ? , or , are you build your own house as a hobby? heh eh he .

For sure I am NOT lending my rotary hammer to others... I willing to drill for them, because it is damn easy and fun. Not to mention 'addictive' .

I have a relative who really loe DIYing. He made a 'STEEL' kitchen cabinet for his house. He even can repair and refurbish old industrial sewing machine. His level is far-far higher than mine.
