I buy the more cantik ones ok. Less chance putus coz they come braided.

Those in pc section with white cardboard easy putus inc the audio cables even u just bend them to keeep them short.

the brand never see, but i've seen marker pen like touch up paint in DIY near their counter. i got the white paint not really good. i think bottled paint with paint brush still best method for touching up as you can thin the paint with paint thinner to make it easier to apply. usually rm10 per bottle only.

usual place for myself n colleagues to walk around if got extra time after lunching.

their recent cny deco stuffs quality/design is really good. the price is okay too.

also i realized that the things they sell differs from one shop to another. if you cant find the stuff u nid probably can go another shop to see.

ps: bought AAA 4 batteries today @rm3.90 not diy brand but another one. Energizer brand priced times 3.

if you go to bigger branch they have most things available in other branches.

so far the most complete one i've seen is Jaya Shopping Mall but it doesn't carry as much toys compared to Indah Parade branch (which has a dedicated shoplot size area for it).

Indah Parade looks like is the biggest but their hardware tool is somewhat lacking, more on home stuff like tupperware, woks etc.

Some just simply sold out never restock.

depends what you are looking at. Sg Wang branch is considered medium size. if you looking for spray paints they don't carry as much as other branches.

usually if you looking for spannar, tupperware & other small stuffs most branches have them.

if you want IT, paint stuffs some branches have less.

also notice that most branches don't carry much flammable liquid like thinner, mineral spirits.

should be original. just like their philip light bulbs are cheaper than outside selling (but still not as cheap if you go to light distributor shop).

i tried their DIY Black/Gold 9V, they are OK. usually i go Daiso & Tesco because they are cheaper. But Daiso got 4 brands of AA, the Green One is not strong enough for power usage (RC/Tamiya car). The Chrome ones are good. The Black one (plastic wrapper) i think so so (same price but bundled in 8-10 you don't expect much). The White one are new so don't know.

for button batteries DIY is more worth it but now i cannot find the 2032 in set of 8-10 strips anymore. Daiso usually carry branded buttons like Mitsubishi.

alternatively you can go Super Save they also sell many batteries esp button batteries but more China brand.

Tesco battery also good & value.

also they start to have their own brands of products even spray paint got, so they probably want to sell more of those. quality wise i cannot tell as i haven't buy their in house brand items yet.

but last time got a 2 in 1 screwdriver where you can pull out the head and reverse it to switch between + & - now no more. quite good that screwdriver.

they also sell a measuring tape that automatic holds on when you pull it out, only when you want to retract it you press the button to release. i think much user friendly than those then need to manually lock. but durability wise not sure.
