thanks for this video. you are right, my impact drill is practically useless.
btw i like to ask one thing - i bought a tile bit and by the time i drill two holes, the whole bit koyak. why like that?
dont tell me my tile too hard?


another common question - how not to drill into wirings or pipes?

if living room wall and behind got no bathroom, is it safe to say there wont be any pipes running thru

going by logic alone, i think safe gua?

but do stud finders work for our hard concrete walls? isnt this device for those dry walls like found in US homes where they dont use bricks

guys im looking for a rotary drill for small jobs - just make holes for anchors

budget around rm450-500
dont want too heavy in weight or big in size. prefers T-shape handles

i was looking at these -

Makita HR2010
Makita HR1830
Einhell - RT-RH24
Einhell - RT-RH26

The Einhell is quite heavy. Double the weight of the Makita
Any suggestions? TIA

Also recommend me a letrik screw driver. I already read the other thread but Im still blur if I need an impact driver or? Prefers cordless but worry how long
can I store it without ruining the battery. I think I better buy one with cord. Just to screw into plastic anchors

would this be more worth to buy compare to HR1830? Since also around that price
looks like more power as well?

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

http://www.lelong.com.my/makita-hr2470-rot...14-05-Std-P.htm


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

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

Oh you mean that.. Yes it has a self level. First the box must be no more than +-4 degrees. Than the rest is done by self leveling. Both horizontal and vertical line are fixed. It's not independent. None are I think

So I was eyeing this Bosch cordless screwdriver. Only about Rm200. Uses 3.6V battery. Not too powerful but for the price....cant ask for much.



Of course I would prefer this other one - GSR 10,8-2-LI (see pic below)
It is using 10.8v battery but the price kills me at almost Rm500



Then today I saw this newly released model. Also using 10.8V battery. (see pic below)
The price ngam my budget. Only cost around Rm270. What do you guys think?


here is the comparison - see attachment

Thanks paskal for your input. Ya I guess it's a no brainer. Only Rm70-80 more
Only thing I'm worried about is after I use it for a couple of months then it doesn't get use after that. Will the battery deteriorate until it cannot be charge or use any longer?
I have one laptop battery that I never use often and eventually it can't be use at all

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?
