Yeah great to have all that skills. In today's kind of economic, house price is 'crazy'... I really wish I can have my own land, and enough knowledge/skill to build my own house.

You need friends, time and tools. Sure can do it.

My job is no related to construction or carpenter. I wish I can build my own house. My knowledge of construction is limited to small job laying a brick and cement.

I use this tool to fix something, install some parts, lay some wire or pipe or build some rack. DIY is 1 of my hobby. But now abit lazy liau. He....

Those sucker friend borrow my tool will take sometime to return to me. After a while, don't no this tool to who, that tool to where.

Yes, sure.... but, I can start small by building a 'reban ayam' first. . Wait, I don't have a land area for it.


Back to the topic, here is a youtube clip, briefly explaining about hammer drill and rotary hammer.



Note: The clip shows Bosch Bulldog Extreme, Bosch GBH3-28 and Makita HR2811F. HR2811F is a HR2810 with shock absorber and work light. HR2811F/FT is not available for Malaysian market, but it's OK, because, HR2810 is surely much cheaper.

Yup, my friend too in melbourne renovate and do some extension on his ownhouse by himself. Damn cheap.

After show some progressing picture to me, it is not that diffiuclt to do. Their medthod of build is easy and everthing is pretty standard the parts. All this parts can get it at bunning hardware store. Same like ACE but 20x bigger.

Yup, agreed. Here, around Balakong and Jalan Reko (Kajang), there are several 'grand' hardware shops, which have EVERYTHING to build a house.

Can tell me what name this shop? Would like to see what they have.

Sure, I'll post the hardware shops name later.

this is a good buy/"nice" to have toolset

Wondering how our local builders do the bathroom fittings.... The holes on 'soft' tiles are not smooth and sometime it's just ugly. I can drill holes better and neat than that. Yeah, they did sloppy jobs due to time constraint, in addition to working with very limited tools/resources.

yeah.. they are doing it as a business... so faster finish move nex job = more money..

maybe that the main reason i DIY.. cause of the "hand-work" of now days very very bad..

edit : got my makita HR 2470 , thanks to "ride00" for arranging the good deal appreciate it

have done some work with settings on rotary,
rotary+hammer the past few days with the makita
2470...real powerful compared to the old faithful
impact drill.
wanted to do some he-man hammer mode work
today but was floored by the flu bug so I will have to
wait for another coupla days to experience the power
feedback! got some exterior wall drain clearance and
waterflow outlets to smoothen....

Brought myself a 2470. Did not put it to real test. Just did some no load testing. Feel like hammering is on the light side. Maybe is because no load.

mAybee we should all get together, jinxxx, weikee &
me and inaugurate a 2470 makita handlers club...?

Could have a coupla TT sessions and HH, then go
mash up some boulders, rocks, monsoon drains
and cliff walls...WOW! WOW! WOW!

Ham it up mannnnnnnnn! Think of the possibilities.......

TT sure okie one..

hmm where to rent portable generator then can go some hill and do some demolishing work lol

i still want to buy diamond coring/drilling/bathroom set like the one i posted one

Now i need to get variable speed grinder.

Congratulation.... another rotary hammer's club member. ... Any model/brand of rotary hammer users are welcomed too. TT session? Hope we can bring along a concrete block for us to 'lepas gian' and learn proper way to use the power tool.



There is a feature/function called 'No Hammering When Idling", which make less vibrations and make the hammering mechanism long lasting. The hammering will starts when to push the drill bits to the target. Even you start hammering, the vibration of the rotary hammer is still low and comfortable.

BTW, this weekend, I drilled 9 holes into the wall, for hanging pictures and a mirror. . Actually, preparing tasks took more time than drilling, where the drilling each holes only took several seconds, but preparing and packing took more than 1 hour 30 minutes totally.

plan to get this

http://www.bosch-pt.com.my/papocs-my/Produ...object_id=16835

seems like a versatile all in one tool.. check out some of the youtube videos...

but would like to have the corded version of it

saw that in the brochure nice feature i would say

I need to use to grind and polish concrete, most likely get the normal variable grinder.

hmm actually i think that device can also do that... not sure it can like grind.. but i know it can sand
