Nice toys.

How much did you got the Cordless drill for?

wah, now migrate to Makita cordless d?

Bosch's 18V circular saw too expensive.
Makita has many other interesting tools like grass cutter, fan, even a cordless trim router(future).

So I think using 2 system to have more flexibility of tools.

Bosch GKS 18VLi costs rm900+, Makita's circular saw costs rm600.
Bosch GST 18V costs rm1300+, Makita 18v jigsaw costs rm800.
Bosch's drill generally are cheaper than Makita tho...

Makita has more "toys" to play with, the price difference already enough justification to cover another battery set.

Also, seems like Makita & Bosch is same grade of tool quality?

Parking 1st...

indeed makita has more cordless tools range...and mostly updated to brushless for most of it's tools unlike bosch took ages to update to brushless....

bosch can be cheap if know where to find the lubang for instance i got my solo bosch GKS 18v circular saw for RM660, GST 18v jigsaw for RM550 nett...

anyway, i'm now done with bosch. migrating to makita now too....but corded makita tool

I am not in this line of work, hard to find lobang lar...

Anyway sharing this cordless trim router video, Makita DRT50Z.
Looks like will be compatible with the RT700C bases.

Maybe... maybe you can rent out your workshop thinking to build my own retro arcade machine.

report for duty

sell to me your bosch 18v cheap cheap

i am looking at the GBH18V-EC

50% discount ya

I buy at 45% discount

ah boss, dun potong line la. gip me chance to get nais tools. LOL

wanna get the GBH36, but then all my batt packs will not be compatible with it

hahah

When i see opportunity i have to take mah.

If I live in corner lot and workshop is build beside the house I can consider this.
But the workshop is right inside the house so its not convenient.

Hope Bosch will release 18x2 tools then those 18v batt packs will be usable.

very unlikely

4.0ah 18v batt packs are already weigh 600g

x 2 = 1.2kg just for battery

a hammer drill would weight 5kg with the battery later. hahah... i sometimes need to dril 30 - 40 x 14mm holes in RC slabs to do waterproofing repair works

imagine how tired i would be carrying 5kg+ tools above the shoulder

i know this is almost 1 yr old reply, where did u get RM210 for a 4ah batt pack? from our forumer here?

Probably from vouchers due to online vendor voucher war last year....

cheapest i could find is this:

http://www.lazada.com.my/solo-2p-18v40ahal...20769.html?ff=1

2 x 4.0ah batt pack + charger

with rm 50 discount, it would be RM625

let's say charger cost you RM 100, that means RM525 /2 = RM261 each the batt

still rm 50 more than what newspaper found

haihs... i must learn more from sifu

it was from shoppu with discount code. seller was CT hardware.

but that good offer was no longer valid. all price was mark up tremendously now
