hi all sifu,

i looking for an cordless drill for house use, it must able to drill wall.

what is the best option i can go for? what is the price likely will be

when labor = sg/us then tools investment will come accordingly. I hire those general workers before they prefer cheap tools due to the reason it will overheat easily and sometimes breakdown during work. They will take that as an excuse to snake.

Recently I hire someone to core a 6" hole in a 400mm RC slab. Main con said they can do it without hiring professionals. During the commission day, they bought low-end tools which cost them 1.5k and fail to core the slab ended up wasting 1 full day of a workday. (1 Engineer 1 supervisor 2 GW) 8hours you can estimate the manpower wasted and downtime cost too. I overwrite the main-con and hired professional corer who used Hilti/Shibuya and they can core each hole through 16mm RB 400mm Slab about 30min per hole.

After the job that main-con was banned from the tendering list.

The Bosch GBH 2-24 DRE rotary hammer is good even for contractor. If you are only home use, any rotary hammer will suffice.

Will the Stanley SHR263KA-Rotary Hammer Drill suffice?

that`s what i`m resonate about in msia. real efficiency. not some undercut to get project done.

if they did the right things; instead resorting to cheapskate method to yield end result..it wont be that damaging to the main-con.

how`s the cost after "getting the real pros" in?

Main con bare all the cost, well tbh professional charge reasonable price for the amount of job being done and most importantly they always ahead of schedule.

for real? that really burn them

i wont mind paying reasonable price too as long it get it done it right and on time and no issue.

thats the concept local construction dont seem to grasp.

everyone can make profit/revenue; if they do the right thing and SOP and deliverance on time.

what kind of wall?

Concrete or brick?

Concrete wall or brick wall (clay/sand brick)?
Brick wall any 12V bosch or makita cordless will do. 12V tools below 400 drill+battery+charger

Concrete wall need to reevaluate options as 18V drill/18V rotary hammer costs more.

If the 18V drill, what the cost likely will be?

i got other hammer with cord, not really like to use it, but drill concrete it like a champ...lol

I guess RM700~1k for branded one

Yeah around there. The tool is not expensive but after adding battery and charger it costs more.
Bosch GBH 180 Li - https://shopee.com.my/COMBO-Bosch-GBH180-LI...7548.1559405712

Makita has more range (need to see see). Offerings on shopee not that great (suggest to consider batt+charger price as well as solo unit price)

Dont buy battery type heavy duty tool if you are not a contractor. Battery replacement is not cheap.

they dun use cordless or chuck driver/drill, impact or whatnot

semua pakai drill biasa, tarik extension wire torn here and there, no plug cucuk 2 wire in. Pasang signboard 4 storeys high pakai wire china drill, took the time to tarik wire and all.

Sometimes its the matter of cost, but the question is efficiency.

But ada hal any china tool also makes no difference la, but sometimes, it matters. Just more time.

However of late (2019+) I noticed shop contractors starting to use cordless tools though.
