Went to authorised Bosch dealer today and was told there are fakes with Bosch name and packaging.

I did saw few on mudah adverts at cheap price, 250-400 but i am not sure is fake or not. btw i got 2-26 dre for rm560.

Is the extra hundred plus bucks worth it for the 2-26 DRF?

take dfr if you need the 13mm keyless chuck to used with steel and wood bits.

China made "Bosch"

Walau, pirated Bosch also u want buy.

Not so stupid-lah!

In China everything More-Boleh!

Can share much did you buy it for?

This China realy overboard. Copy and copy only.

Some new batch of bosch tool from china now quiet cheap. Real Bosch. Because of old model cannot reduce price, they just comeout some new model or change model name and reduce the price. Told by my friend who sell hardware.

I didn't.
Not wasting my money there.
I wouldn't mind a good second hand though (real one of course).

Example the Bosch grinder. I compare the old model and the new model. Nothing different. Very plastically. Not sure inside any different. Now selling below rm200.

Yeah, good call . I would still think of getting a new one unless I am able to know if the 2nd hand product was used properly and its motor not overloaded all the time.

Beside Bosch, there is others like makita and hilti. This 2 are better than bosch for heavy duty. Specially Hilti.

Any pics or model number?

This is Malaysia-lah! Where got properly used? Would be pretty rare.
But if you ever find one...

I never want too buy unknown brand or fake brand for power tools. I got one last time nearly got myself killed.

You kena drill by the drill. Or kena shock.

I don't have the pic and model. I just roughly hold the box and see.

Last month saw a brochure from the Puchong utama hardware shop selling for rm180 if not mistaken.

I still using the solid metal body type grinder. Freaking heavy.

Just imagine half way drilling, the freaking motor exploded, and got shock. Lucky the main fuse blew too.

That was only after few drilling only. Power tools, don't go imitation please.

Is China power tools sold under their own name originals then?

Same. If you experience enough, the price and the material can tell you already.

I use before some china brand make bench drill. Quality like crap. Drill a 5mm hole and the hole become 6mm.
