really so keng meh ?

Well, its true to understand your requirement before making tool selection. Some people tend to ask whats the best tool ever, but I'd really advise them whats the best tool to suit their work requirement. Understanding your work loads and requirement are crucial instead of selecting expensive premium power tools which result higher cost in the end. I have post Makita impact driver ranges which requested and ranging from 10.8V to 18V for selection. Of course, at the end its up to you to decide upon your work requirement that best suits you.

Makita Li-Ion line ups 10.8 / 14.4V / 18V / 36V, 14.4V is more into industry application. If you would like to choose Cordless Driver Drill, we have BDF452RHE which almost similiar with DCD710. Just that its a 18V 1.5Ah Li-Ion battery and of course with our smart charging system, our charging time only required 15mins. You may refer to the catalogue for self-explantory.

Couldn't stand it anymore...

Bought myself a Dewalt Impact Driver DCF815s2 keeping it in line with the Dewalt line...

Update: The impact driver really compliment the drill/driver. I just finished a portion of my bench project in a couple of hours which i might take more time without this impact driver. Its very easy to use, and slipping is non existance while driving in self tapping screws. Since the switch has variable speed, it is also easy to control the depth of penetration. Thre is no backlash so ni need to put so much effort when driving, except taking care of the alignment of the ttol with the screw driven.
My drill driver is on duty for drilling works (pilot holes) as it holds drilling bits much better than the impact driver. So these two work hand in hand, with much better output and productivity.

My advise for those thinking of getting these tools, go for it, netter still get the combo deal as it is cheaper when bought individually.

Great, and do share your experience.

My advice is, to start slow and utilize the variable speed trigger wisely.

Thank you.

What is the benefits of pilot hole, when we can drive screw drive screw directly. ?

Probably its just my habit, but with pilot holes, I can be sure that my screw goes in at the correct angle that I want it to go. Without pilot holes, one needs to be extra careful at the start of the screwing stage, it is easier with softwood, but with hardwood, i prefer to drill a pilot hole.

Yep, the variable speed switch is a real welcome, this impact tool is a doddle to use, even women can use it as it has very minimal backlash, its just point and screw. And also the Dewalt DCF815s2 has 3 leds which is far superior than a single led, minimum shadows.

Any recommendation where I can get 1/4 inch hex bits?, i am in Ampang..

Pilot hole ; Agreed. Pilot hole can gives more precise hole location.

LED work light. Yes, single LED is good but, it also produces shadow. But still better than nothing. BTW I do not rely on the impact driver's LED, because I am using a very bright head light when working at low light or dark places Seriously it is more convincing, effective and useful.

Pilot hole too can prevent the wood from crack if you screw in the bolt. Specially hard wood and big diameter screw. It is easy for you to screw in too and doesn't require high torque. Which will sometime damage the screw or the driver.

In metal side, pilot hole is a must. For precise and drilling a big diameter hole. Without pilot hole, you can't drill a big hole.

The led at my bosch cordless drill is useless. I rather it save a watt and use it at the motor.

The only thing I would complain about impact drivers is the noise it generates. It is so loud that it took me by surprise when i was using it for the first time.

It is quite astounding that a small cordless tool can make such a racket.

but but but the power it delivers is amazing

Great power comes with great sound.

The sound makes me thrilled and excited when using power tools.

is it me or the sound.. sounds like the tool is having an orgasm ? lol hahahahahah

+1. Hahahaha. You are thinking too much

Great power with compact size... I call it cili padi
Kecil tapi PEDAS !

Eh... You not using for your backside right? Ha... Ha... Ha....

Hi sifus,

Just a noob question...recently look around some shops for a driller.
I was just wondering whether getting the bosch gsb10 is sufficient for me to drill concrete walls, tiles and probably some wood stuff?

Furthermore, can the gsb10 also act as a power screwdriver and etc?

Hope to hear some feedbacks. Thank you.

I am surprised that there is no issues with damaged screw heads but now, the bits are having issues.. got to get some impact bits...

I tested a Dewalt DCF815 12v Max Impact on fresh 1.3Ah battery using 7/8" spade bit on 2" thick treated hardwood Chengal and I manage to get a total of 12 holes. Considering that the Chengal is hardwood, I am quite impressed with the performance.

I also tested the same test with a drill driver namely Dewalt DCD710 and the results were average 8 holes.

What I concluded was:-
a) Drill driver bores faster than an impact but requires extra effort to guide the driver. Impact driver is much easier for the operator.
b) Battery drain is more taxing on the drill driver. For impact, the gear box is hotter than the motor. Meaning for impact, the impact mechanism and the gear box is working the most.
c) Both Dewalt tools have excellent variable switch that users can control the tool easier during operation. With practise, using the impact is easy peasy.
d) A good ear protection is warranted if one requires to use the impact for long periods of time as the noise it emits is deafening.
e) When using drill driver, as the battery drain is much greater than impact, one needs to ensure battery temp that with continuous usage of tool.

BUMP this post up.

Got myself an IKEA cordless drill. RM 149, enough for light work. I even use it to take down one door and do some adjustment. Torque wise so so, but enough to do basic things. But is light 1.4KG

A typical cordless drill for screw or some small drilling job, 100N torque should be enough. That enough to twist your hand if you don't hold it strong.

Get those torque adjustable. Pretty common now I guess.

I see those cordless type mainly the price fall on the type of battery. Lion type and big capacity is the most expensive.

I remember got 2 types, 1 big and another smaller one.
I cant find the price tag, so not sure which one you bought.

I got myself a china brand SDC, 27Nm only , Li-Ion battery powered, I am loving it.
Cheap and satisfied.

I am using a 27Nm only china brand.
Cant imaging how powerful a 100Nm driver.
