Sure, that's the main subject int the email.

Jeffrylam, welcome to this thread. Nice info about drill driver and impact driver. Well sentenced like pros.

I have used both types of screw driving, and based on my limired experiences , impact driver is better in most of the case. It is smaller, lighter, very easy to drive screw without slipping and less strain to my hand. That's why most of the professionals prefer impact driver.

If you are selling Makita products, let us know.

Tq.

At least it is a good information. Anyone wjo want to to buy Makita poer tools , please PM me, so I can find out the quantities.

Thank you.

I am not sure, but you can alway check http://www.makita.com.sg for the pruducts which are available in our region market.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a Makita promoter. I only just one of Makita power tools users, after doing some Internet research.


Hope jefferylam can answer the question.

Sorry, I had a bz day yesterday... I'll follow up the PMs today, and hope we can sort it out.

Now, our friend here cannot the give out the price due to the company's policy.

1) Since we are live at the same place,
2) I don't want to collect and keep your money,

What I can do is, to collect what you like to get, and you may get a list of places where you can find the product. You may call the resellers for the price and availability. I hope can sort things out to make it easier.
Thank you.

Yeaaaaa.... what a good news... we can directly send our requests directly to Makita's representative. Thank you, Sir.

We really like to see direct involvement from major companies, helping us to get good deals and reduce hassles to find one.

I hope Makita can organize a power tool's events, so, we can see and experience the power tools. It will be better, if a discounted power tools sales at the event.

Last year, I went to a Bosch power tool's event in Penang. They brought an exhibition containner truck, displaying all short of power tools, and power tools demos.

Thank you.

Thre are several ways to remove stucked screws. If the screw head already snapped, we use small diameter drill bit, to drill out the remaining. At least this method is what I being taught in Form '3-5' Seni Perusahaan subject, which was my favorite subject.

If you still able to grab the part's of the nail, you can use this technique,

or a handtools which I don't know what's it's name... I may post the picture later.

If there is no part of the nail that you can grab, you can 'naile'd it with another nail until it ccame out from the other side of the wood. But, this is the worst case scenario, where not many peoples bothers to pull it out.

Yes, in US/EU markets, there are power tool's big sales; You can get a very good bargain for certaion models. But, several items are same or a bit expensive or cheaper in Malaysia, compared to the bargain sales

IF you live in US, you may get good bargain, but, if you want to ship it here, you need to add transportation cost and tax..

I am receiving bargain sales from Amazon weekly... but, if you add tax and shipping.... The combo kit may weight 8-10kg or more.. so, imagine how much the shipping cost will be..

Nice screwdriver bits.

The slimmer part at middle is absrobing the enormous impact pulse and smoothly transfer it to the bottom part and the screwdriver head. Nice.. hope it is less than MYR80 for 3 pcs of PH2 100mm bits.

Alright... if I want to purchase the bits, can I buy it from the Makita Authorized Service centers which you has listed in the rotary hammer's thread?

Here are my impact driver's bits collection.
From right
1) 150mm P2 (Phillips #2)
2) 85mm P2, Makita Torsion screwdriver bit
3) 50mm P2
4) Makita Hex bit holder, 2,5mm P2
5) Hex 4mm
6) Hex 3mm
6u) Square bits, Stanley brand
7) Hex -> socket adapter
7u) Socket wrench, 6mm - 11mm
8) 10mm nut setter



There are several other bits type which are not shown here.

What is this?


Here is the a beautiful screwdriver bit. This is Makita torsion screwdriver P2 bit. The middle part of the shaft is clearly slimmer. This part absorbs the enormous impact force pulse
from the impact driver, by twisting. It momentory absorb the pulse, and like spring, it twist and transfer the smoother impact force to the bottom half. I cannot see the twist in action, unless I have an ultra high speed camera. Or, ask Makita to produce the high speed camera of the action.

I like 100mm P2 screwdriver bit, and I already damaged 2 of the high quality bits, which claims 10x longer lasting. In both ocassions, the bit's head broke when I wanted to remove 3 and 4 inches screws from the wood. As I remembered correctly, the bits broke after 10 to 20 times of continous driving in and out into the wood's block. IMHO, the heat from screw driving may has the effect to bit's strenght

I'll try to break the Makita torsion screwdriver, and see if it can lived up to the claims... I alredy tried using it briefly, driving 2 and 3 inches screws, and I found it is a bit pleasant. Normal bits tend to stuck into the screw's head, but, it never happened with the torsion screw driver bit yet.




This time I put a cable tie, to see how fast the bit was spinning. I also demonstrated how the TD010F impact driver can varies the power output. Yeah, it seem like a slow motion, but it was taken in realtime. No tricks, just controlling the power using the trigger.

Enjoy

Thank you.

It was hard to maintain the torque. Either I was accidentally squeezed the trigger harder to prevent it from stopping or the friction is lessen when it's start moving. Or, I just tired wasting time to keep it slow and demonstrated it is not a slow motion effect.

Good observation. The screw also shredding tiny pieces of the wood.

Added on March 18, 2012, 6:01 pmI found a smaller version of it, which can take up 6mm bit at ACE Hardware@Mines. Sellery Easy Chuck, cost around MYR20. It can be used for secondary or backup because it may wobble a bit.

The bigger the shank, the bigger size bits or accesories can be used. There are drilling machines which use bigger shank size for bigger heavy duty bits.

The 1/4" hex shank for impact driver has a little space tolerance which the shank/shaft can moves in the impact driver's hex chuck; free playing.

I mean, it is not as perfect as the hammer drill or cordless drill chuck, but, it is still usable.

I just published another video clip in YouTube, showing the differences between using impact driver and rotary hammer for screw driving.

As we can see, impact driver is the best choice to drive screws, but, rotary hammer also have POWER to drive long lag bolt with ease.



Enjoy.
Thank you.

Another YouTube clip.

I tried self drilling screw on aluminum curtain rail bracket. I can reuse a single self drilling screw for several time without any problem.


Enjoy.

Tips :
1) Low speed drills more efficiently.
2) Apply force appropriately

Thank you
