If china made sure won't last 1 lah.

Use water to cool down while drilling. It last longer.

i am thinking to get a power tool for home usage for drilling into wood, concrete wall etc
since sifus here highly recommended rotary hammer drill, i have shortlisted Bosch GBH 2-20 DRE, which i think is the cheapest rotary hammer drill by Bosch...

but my question is, for newbie in using power tool, is rotary hammer drill difficult to handle?

thanks.

I guess that's one of the problem. come across a video that used wet sponge to cool the bit and reduce dust particles at the same time. great method that i wish i had known earlier

Hi all pro, which one is good to buy, makita hr2470 or hitachi dh 26pc. Makita is rm480 hitachi is rm 489 free tshirt . Need advice, thanks

Check both spec and compare.

Thank for your reply, its looked hitachi is more better , but in the real usage which one is the best and long lasting? I like the hitachi because the fancy look but dont know the performance of the rotary hammer if compare with makita,

Hitachi is also 1 of the best tools.

can drill hole in concrete and doing screwing driving? (with adjustable torque)

Concrete abit harder but possible. Just press harder. For screw driving, is over power. Hard to control. It will wear your screw or the drive bit.

the hitachi dem sui lor....
if i havent bought my makita, i will consider the hitachi (just for the looks hahaha )
Rm500 now at Lazada. If wait got discount, can knock off another Rm50

Don't look back lar after buy.

Forever cannot finish low price 1. Nice spec or not this model? See a lot in japan. Damn tempted with the Hitachi cordless with their new technology.

I dunno what spec. I dunno how to compare and a bit lazy to look at it since I already bought...
Looks like it's 2kg lighter than the makita

Since it is impact drill, look at the impact perminute.

Sure or not? 2kg lighter a lot wor.

Not sure as you know the specs not clear for both drills on the website

Ok my mistake. One was in kg, the one in pounds. That's why.

This

Input 780W
Blow per minute 0-4,500bpm

Weight look like hitachi 200g heavy.

Problem is hitachi one don't say what's the BPM

Should be this 1 --> Full-Load Impact Rate 0-4300rpm
