train my muscle is no problem 
but the problem is it damaged my screw and my furniture 
ok will go for it 

I've just moved in to a new place and wanna start with some DIY projects, mainly home furniture and fixtures (which needs drilling to the concrete wall).

I live in a condo, build somewhere in the early 2000s.

Now after reading the thread, it seems like the way to go is a rotary hammer drill with another drill to screw stuffs.

I can still budget for the above but am I better off saving that money and buy myself this drill that is currently on sale ACE Hardware? http://www.acehardware.com.my/Promotions_4_1.htm

Will it still do its job? Am afraid after purchasing nanti, cannot drill to my concrete wall pulak.

If no, then I'll just but the infamous Makita rotary hammer.

Thank you all.

yes u are correct
but i found last time corded drill give me too much hassle in assembling furniture especially the complicated one.
first, the size is big and will have restriction on accessibility
second, all the tangling wire make me uncomfortable 

HR2470 found for Rm479 - Just not sure if there is a reserved price on the bid

24mm is a bit overkill for me. i only need to drill maybe 6-8mm holes for wall plugs.....

hi,

which drill bit to buy for drilling stainless steel ?
thanks..

Guys I bought this today. Dunno gooding or not but so cheap I sapu je

*updated with more pics

i dunnolol... 
i always wanted one but couldnt afford
now i found one that is just Rm204 linggit, fast fast buy 

Im gonna use it when I hang my shelves, posters, etc. check on my kitchen cabinet installer, see level or not etc....
Unfortunately this low end model cant shoot to ceiling if not it will be good for me when I pasang my track lights

it doesnt have a levelling gauge but it has like a floating gimbal thingy inside that lights up an indicator if its not level.
the gimbal will automatically line up the laser. but it doesnt work when it is lying on its back
i have yet to read the instruction. maybe its possible

get the new model.
i'm using the older 10.8-2 and it's much more versatile compared to the ProDrive which my cousin has. at RM270 do get the newer 1080-2 as you'll only lose the battery charge led. it has longer head, smaller battery and a bit heavier.

difference between the torque isn't much and you'll never use them to drill large steel anyway. longer head is actually preferred as the older 10.8-2 is unbalanced with the back heavier compared to the front. battery level meter isn't really needed as the battery charges in under 30 min. also the smaller battery won't make much of a difference since you'll have 2 and could keep one fully charged. i've never used more than half even half days of work with them.

if budget is at RM500 get the cordless drill with impact.

I wonder if I can use these hole saw to cut thru plaster ceiling? Plan to cut some round holes for downlights

Ooh...I read that plaster boards can be like cement and wears out the teeth. Anyway I will give it a try. No choice
Boss your cordless drill looks like imported model. Can't find here?

you mean jintex?
been looking for anywhere that sells imported models that doesn't sell here for years now.

must be this - http://www.amazon.com/Makita-LCT209W-Lithi...makita+cordless

whats the difference - drill and driver? why need one for each?

Then what does this do?

holiday ka? 

this same one -
Bosch GSR 1080-2-LI Professional Cordless Drill/Driver

finally after contemplating for so long on what kind of drill i should buy for my home use (after reading 42 pages of this thread)

I am on the verge to get the Makita HR2470 for my 1st drill, cheapest i can get is for RM520.

Probably will get a cordless driver later. i think one forummer did mention best combo is rotary drill for holes and cordless for driving screws.

Main use is for wall plugs, got a few of them to do, next month may use to install wall drying deck. It may sound like an overkill but I have used my neighbor's normal drill and it was quite the effort to install 2 wall plugs for curtain railing.

Btw, anywhere else can get cheaper at sg buloh, shah alam area? initial budget was RM400 only

congrats bro, does it comes with all these stuff like in this picture?
Extras -
SDS Drill Bit Set (5.5, 6, 8, 10, 12mm)
SDS Plus Chisel
13mm Drill Chuck



been thinking of this Bosch GBH 2-20 DRE. A bit cheaper than the Makita

HR2470 is good. Invested one before I move into my new house. Did many diy jobs that save me thousand of Ringgits, and better workmanship
