i bought a Tesco corded 500W impact drill last year at only rm49 and so far so good for small drilling jobs on wood, metal and screw driving

very cost effective for home diy

Even there are quite some bargains at Giant Store under their own brand name. Cordless drills, cordless screwdrivers, jig saws as low as Rm60 can be had.

IMO it depends on the buyers requirements really, if one is not that picky any othese low cost equipment can do the basic home repairs without any issues.

Hi Guys,

I have a Punsch P550 hammer Drilller borrow from my dad, I was trying to drill the holes on wall to install my curtain, but in halfway I cant get the hole drill further in, it like hard to go in, is the driller not enough power or I miss out any step? hope sifu can show me some tips.
Hi,

Above window always have concrete lintel. So difficult to drill. Anyway, if installing wall plug only need around 1.5" depth sufficient, and usually the steel bars ussed are 6 or 8 mm or even 10mm.
Sometimes using a wood mallet can also determine whether the area being knocked Is concrete or just bricks from the sound. If heavy thud that means concrete, if hollow then it must be brick.

All the best...
