eh gais, mau tanya

my old AL1130CV charger for 12v/10.8v battery (year 2009) is it compatible with 2.0ah 12v batteries?

heck, u cant even fit an arm in that tight space. hahaha

multi cutter is shit. i run down 2 expensive blades (rm60 each) and not even half of the bolt thread is cut.

a sabre saw will be too big to fit. if i use a hack saw blade, it will take me 6 hours

the last job i had was hack and hack and brutal hack to shear off that bolt. it took me 4 hours just to remove that 1 last damn bolt.

this is the damage to my arm. i have to cut 2 16mm box wrench to try to unbolt the nut, which takes about 1 turn / every 30 mins. LoL




luckily the bosch 18v grinder is sort of nearly waterproof. quite a lot of water seeped into the vents (i was trying to detach a water cooling coil) and luckily the motor did not stop working

any1 goin the the CT hardware warehouse sale ?? they have few B&D cordless drill for sale .. any recommend on which i shud get ??
CD961 (9.6v)
CD9600 (9.6v)
BDCCD12K (10.8v)

I have a 12 inch makita bandsaw. Very useful for making cuts that my table saw can't do, quiet and less dust too.

What you plan to do with the bandsaw? The handheld bandsaw you show is suitable to cut pipes on site.
If you plan to cut curves on wood, the handheld bandsaw's throat is too small and limit to what you can do on the wood.

If you have space concern the get a jigsaw or Worx EX572 flip jigsaw thing. Don't get too high cut accuracy expectation on the worx ya...
Btw a 9 inch bandsaw does not take up that much horizontal space.

*many spelling correction required*

I dunno bandsaw can cut metal. Maybe using special blade?
There are many small size bandsaw available.
Jet is a more reputable brand in Malaysia. I have a jet scroll saw.

If you have access taobao, you have even more options.

Not really a lot cheaper if you include sea shipping to Malaysia, but you get more selection with better spec.
Example:
Quick release tension level
cast iron table
bigger motor
bearing guide instead of block guide.

Here I show you some example
1) Jet JWBS-9 RM880
9 inch, 350w, block guide, no quick tension release (I think, can't find pic of the back of the bandsaw), 17kg

2) NingGan 9 inch band saw (many cheap china made bandsaw that are sold here are same design as this one)
9 inch, 350W, block guide, quick tension release, 21kg

3) nototec 9 inch bandsaw  (I rate this higher than ninggan due to manufacturer reputation)
9 inch, 350W, block guide, quick tension release, 21kg
https://world.taobao.com/item/21046619810.h...ene=taobao_shop
[attachmentid=9136703]

4) Hisimen 10 inch bandsaw (they dont have 9 inch, USA Grizzly's OEM, higher grade than nototec)
10 inch, 550w, bearing guide, quick tension release, cast iron work table, 34kg

jet is a good brand, but not this model. this is toy grade model.

using lazada sea delivery
Product + delivery to warehouse is RM932,
from warehouse to Malaysia shipping estimate RM180.

Never have a broken item yet. Usually big item I will tell them to reinforce with wood crate, extra charges &  heavier tho.
Using taobao's delivery agent(lazada) sure can claim damage, but how? I dunno.

I think both also can be taken out. Difference is brushes will have some sparks when running sometimes. Brushless produce 0 spark.

Thanks anyway, probably I'll just go for normal brushes one. More than 1.5k for a impact driver is kinda waste, since you can't drill wall with it. I can get another hammering cord drill with that amount of money.

Hi sifu-sifu, been going through this thread for the past couple of days. Just starting out with home woodworking. Need your advice on my next purchase. I have a bosch 12v drill and I want to purchase a saw next. Am looking at the 12v jigsaw GST-12v and the GKS-12v circular saw. Which on should i get first considering I'll be doing most of my woodworking things right in front of my front door since I live in an apartment. Prior to this I have been using handtools. I'm considering a cordless one cause I can bring it down to the yard at the back of the apartment to do some cutting where there are no power supply access. I'll be cutting mostly salvaged pallet boards and beams.

i already have this.

but i'm not exactly fond of the entire 18v system.
too big. too heavy. too cumbersome to carry around at the belt.

so i bought this to compensate. i mean compliment.


the brushless system really works.
my old 1.3a battery lasts really really long in this EC model.
much lighter weight. and much easier to carry around attached to the waist.

Brushless motor mah..

It doesn't justify to get that less power cordless tools for 1.5k.

My makita set that previous pic and add another 12V makita circular saw is only RM800.

So rotary hammer drill can also be used to drill in screws and remove from walls right? Or do I need a separate impact drill for this?

huh? mine no need...i'm using shopee app to purchase

ah, plis donasi your tools to us?

Yea just read about it also today. 

Anyway, went to Ace Hardware for a spin just now, and saw this.
The price is quite attractive to me

this is not brushless model right?

Handy little thing. Quite "torquey" for it's size. Almost slipped from my hand when I first tried it. Tried driving a 1-inch screw into a block of pine and managed to drive it in at the torque setting no. 3

Will try using it in my next woodworking project alongside my drill to drill pilot hole and the GO to drive screws.

All in all very satisfied with product (most of it is because of the 2-unit deal on shopee  )

get this.
battery powered TIG welder.   now u can TIG anywhere


    Stick (MMA) welding up to 140 amps (10-140 A range)
    TIG welding up to 150 amps (3-150 A range)
    Powered by 120V AC and capable of cordless welding
    IP23 water and dust resistance rating
    Weighs 24.5 lbs, charger weighs 2.4 lbs
    17.1″ L x 6.3″ W x 12.2″ H (just the welder)
    Open Circuit Voltage: 91V Max

in my past experience, get a set of longer welding cable is far more practical then moving the entire welder up and down

recently i came across Bata Industrials safety shoes

they look interesting, and more importantly, the price is quite cheap, considering that it's used worldwide (compared to local brands like King, etc etc)
