I'm more Bosch oriented because of pricing and (I like to see that companies not afraid of having a proper datasheet) plus you get a 1300W bigger motor (so in hardwood you don't run the risk of the blade slowing down and bogging down but circ saw rotation direction is safe as it'll just tighten itself into the wood).

Between Bosch and Makita..Equally I would regard both as good as each other

My stuff is heavily Bosch coz my dad is a "Bosch for life" person so that adage also carried down to me. Personally I have the previous version circ saw GKS7000, with parallel guide it cuts very cleanly with fine cut 80T blade. If you want super fast cut without need of finesse you can use a 40T blade. (More teeth finer cut but slower).

I guess you can say I'mma Bosch and Kyoritsu meter gal coz of these, some for work:
GSB180Li drill driver
GBH180Li cordless rotohammer
GBH 2-24 rotohammer
GDS 18V 400 impact wrench
GWS060 grinder
GKS7000 circ saw
GST700 jigsaw

Makita mini router

Kyoritsu clamp n desktop DMM

The made in Japan makita that comes in red pink white purple are cute

You mean these type of polycarbonate goggle?

Check input amps..you probably need to run a high amp line from DB box, even a 120A output MIG can suck 18A or 23A input current.

Something like 10mm² or 16mm² cables and 32A or 63A high current plugs will be required I think. They wont be able to operate on 13A socket.

3 in 1 oil sounds good. Locally got sell ard 7 or 8 bucks.

Got..i bought also
https://s.lazada.com.my/s.WggWs

Ideally before and after use can put a few drops, for lube n rust prevention. I use it to keep my hand tools eg bahco spanners & knipex pliers lubed up to prevent rust.

Ya on the chain part..sprocket.
Its actually SAE 20 mineral oil la for the 3in1 bottle.

Chain tank if ur chainsaw use SAE20 (motor oil spec) then can use that..the tank one see what the chainsaw require

For me I don't use bigger than 21mm impact sockets much. But one thing for sure I prefer 6pt anytime..not a fan of 12pt.
Deep socket 21mm for lug nuts, SATA taiwan fits well for me and are quite well made for the price..
Smaller ones I just use the bosch set of shallow impact sockets.

I actually have assorted bits of chrome non impact ones from stanley/cross or crafts man (cant remember).

Lemme check.. My SATA ones are CrMo ("usual" impact sockets).. I thought they were TW made.. alamak PRC punya
Bosch ones use some sort of softer S2 (officially "S2 Modified Steel and an optimised heat-treatment process provide extra-tough endurance for high performance")

So far held up well with my impact wrench. I believe as long as its impact rated it should be safe to use lah...and NOT CR-V (chrome sockets) will be the main criteria for using on impact wrench.

If not mistaken, impact rated black socket usually only come in 6pt version only

Should be parallel import ones..but from local hardware store. I noticed if I'm getting thin wall sockets the more legit listing on lazada also say its consumable, not within lifetime wty - so no reason to pay more? Or the official channel one will also cover such "consumables"?

I got mine online. Geolaser is also an actual hardware store lol
41 bucks delivered for two pcs 21mm thin wall (not the plastic coated thin wall) sockets. Decided to get two in case one broke.

I got it with the sata box, product seems legit. If you have use for the other sizes I think there's a set of six sockets covering 17 19 19 21 21 21 kinda thing for below 80 bucks.

Good idea. For me its because I mainly use single size 21mm more.. the rest lesser used.

Also cannot assume ALL black socket can work for impact wrench, some of the cheaper ones I saw are black painted CRV (black painted chrome socket material)..must be at least CrMo material ya.

200 bucks buy Daewoo lah. Its powerful enough for any finger or thumb sized holes.

MrD one manyak mahal. Used to be 149 ish but at 200..buy Daewoo better. It is hard to send things to China for warranty claim.

Lol i thought mostly just the carbon brush fail over time but not that expensive to change..

X lock Will save time compared to normal 100mm basic one..if you run a foundry or metalworks place. Else not much diff if not used heavily..changing cutting disc only takes 30 seconds with the basic bosch. Most small SME firm get by with the basic bosch GWS 060.. it is quite a workhorse, and most of the time cutting at max speed safer (less jamming risk) than running too slowly. The variable speed may be good if u do more grinding than cutting?

The X lock use 125mm disc..still cute this one still not the big plate size disc ones used in foundry where they really use it all day, everyday.

125 disc alao not that common size I think but can buy online wan lah.

Excellent choice
I just took delivery of a new toy too..hehe

Drill wall depends on brickwall or concrete. If concrete... nothing happen one. So u need to advise what material u drilling into.

Aa a screwdriver shud work well enough

The very cheap china ones alao come in variety of prices.
Super elcheapo one wont be much use beyond screws..
About 90 100 bucks is generic 12V tool despite whatever fake V they say. About 25Nm is similar to bosch gsb120.

54Nm one for more torque is GSB180.

But if buying cordless leh . Many choice available. Mostly 12V or 18V good enough already.
12V more compact but not super powerful. Light and small.
18V bigger toys and more robust. Better runtime.
36V if you are in heavy construction.
China tool V, cannot trust. Fake V.

Ahh since both of these are similar questions can refer above.
If you're expanding the tool range then brand consideration matters..

Specifically that is a spring washer to be placed in btwn the flat washer and the nut.
