A bit worrying since later may need to get spare battery if one is not enough.

Technically for compatibility's sake you could always get a used makita or bosch cordless drill driver. Those are easy to get replacements.

Is HR166D cordless rotary hammer a good choice? otherwise any recommendation?

Using for house light reno to drill brick and tiles walls for cabinet, bathware installation etc. Prefer a long lasting power tools as i am interested to DIY more in the future

Overkill lah. The machine alone <700. The full set with 2AH already 1100. puke.gif It is a very compact tool no doubt but not worth the money as it can't trench and its not very powerful for the price.

For what you need, you should look into a GSB18V-50 or similar cordless drill driver and pack in a 4AH battery. This one is gonna be useful. Drilling tiles does NOT require rotary hammer unless you don't care about tiles breaking up like impact craters laugh.gif this thing is very useful for furniture assy (esp when u pair with good bits eg milwaukee shockwave) - the cheapo gold bits just pakai buang like tissue and they deform so easily. That shockwave I used for many many projects still going strong.

Brick wall wise, you can either go cordless GBH180Li (solo tool only), swap batt over from the drill driver. Since the tool only is about 400.

OR just buy a cheap rotary hammer that is corded eg ProDIY or Daewoo <200 if you drill less than 50 holes in total and nothing more to drill on walls, you will NOT have much use for the rotary hammer. For electrician we like the convenience of cordless rotary hammer because don't need to tarik extension cords everywhere and its stubby length is useful for tight spots. For light user the corded rotohammer is more economical, only caveat it is heavy and can be rather long length (if clearance not an issue).

Guys, looking to purchase a heat gun for normal home usage.

Is Stanley STEL670-XD good?

Or is there any other brand/mode near the price range that I should consider? Thanks.
