I think better get Skill 1.. around 300.. At least low-end branded 1.

BTW, this is 2nd time surveying for my rotary hammer. Last time decide not to buy. Now got some budget and some works need to be done so I looking back and luckily found this thread.

My quick survey in Livin depot bangi today

Dewalt 25012 RM 428
Dewalt 25123 RM 555
Makita 2470 RM 529
Makita 2810 RM 740
Bosch 2-26DFR RM 7xx (forgot to write down)

My budget around 600.. Prefer Bosch brand but seems Makita quite cheap.. BTW living depot can as for discount or fixed price?

End up getting Makita 2470.. RM500 with 1 sets of small bit, chuck adapter, big bit (demolition type)..

Still can't test out coz need to find some free time..

Just trying Makita 2470.. I mush said, I should get this earlier.. Drilling is now effortless.. even 10mm hole, usually I need to used 5mm 1st with normal drill.. If not, cannot go in.. Now directly using 10mm, the drill go in just like that..

BTW, next tools will be those Bosch Multi-Cutter. Seems like many use.. But hopping for cheaper version maybe from makita if any. Also corded also fine with me.. Any suggestion?

+ 1.. Interesting Idea.. Stuff such as stud finder and laser pointer should be ideal since hard to broke..

Hehe.. wrong words a, how to explain it.. I mean like drill the value of the drill itself decrease significantly when you use it..

But for something like stud finder it quite reliable.. can use many time without significant wear & tear..

Hope you get what I mean..

better use angle grinder to cut the nail head.

If you already make-up ur mind on which model to get.. Just nego through email from multiple online store. Then just get the item at the shop when u in KL.. Online nego most of the time will get u more discount rather go directly to the shop.

what is the main use?

Go for rotary hammer than impact drill. It's like 10x better.

even 700w bosch or black & decker impact drill no match even with cheapest skill rotary hammer.

how the dust cuting the cement?
