to drill tiles, u need normal drill function..
then oni u use the hammer function after u made a hole on the tiles...

the demolition hammer above might and might not have it,
some have 3 modes, some have 2 modes only...

for ur DIY job, u don't need a demolition hammer
but preferably a rotary hammer will make the job easier...

impact drill oso can, but a bit slow for concrete wall...

RM 300 for new rotary hammer, u can oni get china brands....
less than rm500 for branded ones..

but skill rotary is RM 299.

here a list of rotary sold on mudah..

your diy job, involves screwing n drilling small holes? on wood n metal?

a cordless is much more convenient. if u mainly wana screw n drill holes, ( except wall )

get a cordless with adjustable clutch.

the more expensive, the lighter the tool n bigger battery capacity.

pref Li-Ion model.


a cordless drill without impact, will take a long time.. to drill brick wall.

if the hole is small.. u can try.. make sure dun burn the motor, let it rest a few times.

a corded impact drill, can cover most of ur need except, u will find it very diff to control if u wana
screw, oso heavy..

a rotary hammer is mainly for drilling brick n masonry concrete, chiseling...
uses SDS+ chuck, it might not be the one u need.

i think u should invest in a cordless first. get a good one. go to hardware shop to test, some have demo units.
get one tht u feel is not too heavy.

then try on ur wall, if it really can't drill the hole, then u get another corded impact drill. ( u sound like drilling wall is ur 2nd priority.)

Just get a cord impact drill with 500w capacity. It can do both job. Wall and DIY. Just train yourself a bit more muscle. But not that heavy either.

Cordless can do limited job. With just screw and drilling. The only good is lighter without cord.

wht do u wana do most with your drill, tht's the most important thing... 
cordless can screw much better than an impact drill with cord....
n much more convenient just grab n go...
no nid all those pull wire thing..
for ur first tool, i think better just get SKIL cos it is backed by bosch service,
i've been to their service center in jalan ipoh, very decent, can get job done fast.

china stuff... well....
if u wana use it just for a few times, n very sure not gona use it again for a long long time,
then it is worth a gamble...
but the price has to be cheap, real cheap...

for eg, i just got a rm50 china jigsaw...
done a few jobs with it...
and 1 part easily cracks... n i can't get any replacement parts...
so when it is fully cracked, i won't be able to use it anymore..

skil 2214 , with dual speed...
it meets ur budget so i think it is worth it...

I don't no which 1 more important for you. The saving or the type of work.

For saving 2in1, Impact drill can save your money. Cause it can use for wall and any normal drilling. For screw, just use screw driver.

Or train yourself how to control it. The impact drill like bosch is speed controllable.

Otherwise you got to buy 2 type of drill.

I use a lot of impact drill for Ikea furniture assembly. Not a problem at all.

any one here owns SKIL2414 or GSR10.8 any differences? also does any one know the cordless skill and bosch 10.8 li battery is the same?  many thanks

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

im bought skill 2414 after reading gud feedback from user mostly from US...very satisfied with gud battery life ,grips and nice carrying bag..with the price  cheaper than bosch you can buy extra drill bits  sets..that what i do

Was just surveying around for drill and i bumped into this wonderful thread..guess my usage will be similar to most already asked here..minor drillings in my condo. Walls included..wsa budgeting around rm300 for a drill. Googled around for what to look for, otherwise i might have chosen the one with the most attractive box which in my case is the black and deckers 

Was seriously considering the 12v black and decker EPC12 for my usage.

This 9.6v drill/driver enough torque or not?

[attachmentid=4900995][attachmentid=4901000]

I imported Ryobi 18V set.
I can drill any wall with my cordless and good drill bits

im using this. that time i bought come with free pack of drill bits. RM125 also (promo price). Until today. never fail me. Less voltage less consumption to the Lit batt

Cordless with impact is real handy.

  Tak aci la use Carbide bits.

What's the price you are getting for this unit ?

guys, currently i m using Skil 2414 Cordless Drill for casual DIY use.
can drill through the big grey brick wall with no sweat.
When it comes to the red small brick and concrete, I cannot penetrate not even 2mm   

now thinking to change with Cordless Drill Bosch GSB-1080-2-Li comes with impact function 18,000 beat per minutes.
is this recommended? anyone had experience using this drill?

It able to do the job. But it is very slow.

Get a cord impact drill if you can.

If you see properly, my makita cordless is an impact driver. Mean for screw driving. Not for mansory.

Another 1 is wood/metal drill. The chuck doesn't suit for impact and it don't have impact mode.

Is it fastening torque ?

It can do the job. But very slow.

I rather use my cord Bosch impact drill.

If you want cordless drill that have function 3 in 1 can invest at Milwaukee m12cpd brushless ...although it using 12v battery, but quite comparable with other 18v 3 in 1 cordless from makita and Dewalt that price above 1k...

When i installed my shower head holder.
My cheap cheap Ryobi 18v , can hantam through hard tiles + brick in less than 3 secs.

which of these models are good for concrete wall drilling? main purpose to hang photo frames & install wallplugs

Black and Decker 13mm VSR / Bosch GSB500RE / Borsch GSB 1300 Impact Drill

yah, i want to know too. any advise?

assembly, screw driving = ok

i think normal plaster wall with bricks = ok

if its drilling a hole in concrete wall = no

i am using this for normal installing works and screw driving, and its still rather big to handle ...

for my curtain project - i got the Makita HR2470, makes the concrete wall look like tofu ...
