i use SATA. they are good quality for the price u pay. not too expensive

6 pt is always better than 12, but sometimes, but sometimes got some situation where u gonna need 12-pt one when you are in really tight space or its an imperial sized bolt

eh got sata taiwan? isn't it all manufactured in china now? 6 point for me as well, dont want to strip the heads. almost similar with you, 17mm most used for me. anything above rarely gets used.


have any of the bosch or sata crack before? also both are cr-mo?


i felt SATA pricing actually above average. have always heard good reviews but compared to other brands, seem like their prices bit on the high side. i got a swivel socket in cr-mo for rm40 at knight. where u usually get your sata from?

also, yes im a fan of 6 point. for tight spaces i got the swivel socket from them haha.

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

Which kind of dealer u getting your sata from? the Sata parellel import china ones or is it the official sata dealer for malaysia?

of course. that's what the timber companies always use witht heir 36 and 48" chainsaws.

it is to lubricate the chain. and yes, sawdust will get stuck to it, but its slippery as snake. hahah

technically, Taiwan = China... it's in the name. Taiwan ROC = Taiwan Republic of China

edit: now you guys mentioned it, i cannot find any wordings on all my SATA tools mentioning the origin / manufacturing country

it only says SATA and APEX TOOLS

eh thats true also. so meaning its manufactured in taiwan, china? instead of mainland china? it seems like they have a company name zhejiang sata issuing official statements etc, i assume manufacturing was done in zhejiang instead of taiwan.

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"?

yeap, no reason to pay more but just wondering if u get better prices?

from what i understand, no warranty for sockets at all, if official dealer dont have then the parallel import i think lagi dont have.

i buy from knight, packaging also dont have.

looking at sata website having so many statements about similar products, makes me worried its from different manufacturers.

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.

Canola because the article is from west. Actually any vegetable oil will do. It needs low viscosity oil. The problem in the West would be, the vegetable oil froze in cold weather but we don;t have the problem here. Use govt subsidize RM2.50 or minyak cap buruh. Can upgrade to minyak cap pisau

Well, thicker oil provide better protection but you lose some efficiency. Thinner oil, more wear but perform better. Same basic rule for car engine oil

Why not buy from MrDIY? It comes with a set of different sizes.

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.

I want to buy rotary hammer drill to drill holes in wall, Using for home diy purpose only.

I see MR.DIY selling for ~200. (warranty 15 days); some oem china brand selling <200 (1years). Which 1 is better?

I don't think Mr DIY provide repair service because product is also China made.

If I want to buy China, I'd would ask if there is local service support unless you just don't bother; like if lucky can last long and if unlucky just buy new one type.

I wonder if the model that use same Bosch name and look compatible with Bosch spare part

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

https://shopee.com.my/product/3127509/11306471915

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.
