Thank you kind sir.

Hi guys, i am looking for a compact impact drill to drill small thing like speaker hanger etc for my home. I have a big old school corded for heavy drilling but just need 1 for hassle free small hole drilling for brick/concrete wall. I saw there are brush va brushless motor. Brushless motor kinda much more exp than brush, but i not sure if occasional use only do i need brushless motor?

And i wanna ask a noob question, if i wan to fix a plate with 8mm hole to the wall, what drill hole size should i be looking for?

What size of screw you want to use? 8mm or 6mm or less? That will decide the drill hole size.

Any shop provide cutting wood in these sizes? Plywood

Maybe /k wood expert near you can provide the service if you provide location.

Look like an arcade?

You can try take the plan to any kitchen cabinet shop to help.

Sorry, Location Seri Kembangan

Yes sir. I will try and ask them.

Most kitchen cabinet shop are just installer and woodwork done by 3rd party factory. This one do their own

For light DIY duty and portability, cordless is nice. Furthermore, this one is keyless chuck. Much easier to change bit.

Need to take care of battery though. The best if it is not use for long time, keep battery half charged to prolonged its life.

The straight cuts and 32/35 mm is like kitchen tap/door knob size +/-
The 120mm hole is gonna be a challenge to cut

#2 Cordless drill driver (GSR120LI) can be useful for screwing and unscrewing whereas normal high speed drill don't have torque control (it will still work, but abit harder to control and you risk stripping screw head if its a long and tight fitting screw). Do note this tool is not extremely powerful for drilling (max about 8mm or so wood plug in brick work).

#1 and #3 here are basic power drills first and foremost, not really suited for screwdriving.

All these (#1-3) will NOT be useful for concrete drilling for more than 1-2 holes of wood plug size - you will spend ten minutes per hole.

Concrete slab aka RC wall aka reinforced concrete, you will be best suited with a SDS+ rotary hammer. Drills in seconds.
You can still survive with a normal "impact drill" for 1-2 holes max (wood plug size) and luck on your side (don't hit a stone or hard patch). This normal "impact drill" will take minutes to drill one hole in RC wall.

Corded one.. can get either makita HR2470 (around 4xx) / bosch 2-24 (around 4xx) / stanley rotary hammer (around 260). Want cheaper can consider DCA/bossman tools, it should work for home use lah

Cordless one.. you will need to invest in big battery (~260 for 4AH) and fast charger (~105), but the tool itself is not expensive (around 350-ish) based on my purchase of GBH180Li solo unit.

The price premium of cordless one is the convenience = no need to worry about finding power socket/extension; corded ones listed above are usually more powerful than cordless equivalent of the same price range.

If the plate is 8mm hole, I assume you will be using some sort of sleeve anchor, max u can go will be 5/16″ bolt, used in combination with a 5/16″ thread sleeve anchor.
Bring the plate to the hardware shop to confirm the bolt thread fits the plate you are mounting.

Hole in wall is based on the external size of the sleeve anchor so you will probably end up with a M10/10mm hole IIRC.

Brick wall can use normal impact drill. Concrete wall is >9000 times harder than bricks so a rotary hammer is recommended - especially if you're talking about using a M10/10mm sized sleeve anchor
