Hi,

I've just read this thread because I wanted to read what people thought about Makita TD0101F impact drivers - Thanks to bahathir for the fantastic videos.

What's interesting is I am in Brisbane, Australia, and yesterday purchased mine from Bunnings! I paid $100AUD, which is about 300 Malaysian ringgit. Is that cheap?

I'm in a generous mood this evening, so if someone sees something (ideally not in a huge box!) from Bunnings I can see how much it will cost for me to buy it locally and send it overseas marked "gift" (and get paid by Paypal or something).

Oh, I missed that. Well the offer still stands if there _is_ anything really cheap on bunnings.com.au

How many hours would the average person have to work to afford one? The Australian Minimum Wage is $15/hour, and you would pay almost no tax with that income - so an unskilled person could afford an impact driver in under a days work. The average wage (after tax) is about $25/hour, so half a days work.

Sorry for dragging the thread off-subject, I'm just surprised that it is much different in Malaysia.

(Are Energy Drinks cheap over there? They are about $3USD each here, so if anyone wants to swap a pile of energy drinks for a power tool send me a PM )
