Oh okay, thank you

tht is an impact drill, not rotatry drill....

Thank you, thank you.

Still doing my research. Now asking my neighbours their experince drilling thru their home wall.

Now, very likely I'll go for the rotary drill.

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

Eng_Tat, as my previous post
i've just bought a cordless skil 2414 10.8v but i dont own Bosch 10.8v
i only tested the display set at the hardware shop
but these are my understanding:

1. Skil 2414 is light compared to Bosch. but the battery capacity is same. my assumption, battery power would be no difference.

2. Skil 2414 having lower torque and lower rpm. Bosch is doing better in terms of torque and RPM.

3. Price is huge different. Skil 2414 is lithium ion battery and cost at RM300. Bosch is more than RM4++. if your budget is rm300, u can get a Bosch with same capacity but using Ni-Cd battery, price at rm300++

Just use the screw driver if you want to save. It is not your everyday job right ? And you as strong as a man?

I got myself Ikea cordless drill, it was cheaper than, don't recall I pay RM 149 for it. Is good for simple job. For large heavy duty job I use my rotary Makita

screw driver cannot penetrate steel, bro
its not my everyday job but it is one of my hobby.
i dont drill my brick wall every year but i drill scrap steel plate, scrap steel bar and screw/unscrew unused furniture almost every month. thats why i opt for cordless.

actually for weight, it is second priority for me because a DIY person normally already adapt to it.
but still, it is better to be light instead of bulky

same to me.
Skil 2414 is definitely worth to own it. very light and comfortable enuf.

Cordless drill brand Skil 2414 is rm290 with nylon carrying case
if u go for black n decker, its much cheaper because its NiCD battery but comes with metal case with 120++ drill bits.
for me its a good one but the only drawback is the NiCD battery.
u need to full charge and full discharge before u can use it back. if ur ok with this, then Black n Decker is a good for u

I finally decided and bought myself a Makita Rotary Drill 2810 and Makita TD101F Impact Driver.

I am a happy man

nice. Hw much did u pay for those items?

Can check out here if you're living ard PJ/ KL. Beside Maybank.

Got a Makita 2470 for RM500. =)
Include the drills bits.
