12v?

Got power meh?

Is 12v and 18v have big difference?
For home and diy user

u should mix more with the kitchen installer group. then u know which tools work well in the field and whats hype.

Thought min 18v at least.

12v for home diy.

Video here abit. Show us the power.

Dagnabbit! That's another good buy! Either you are lucky, or you are plugged in to the industry.
My 4+ year review of the M12 Fuel rotary hammer? Absolutely brilliant for holes up to 12 mm, especially when working overhead or the whole day.

PS : If you are plugged in to the industry.... I'm looking for a M12 Fuel drill driver so I don't have to carry different batteries when I go offshore, as I already carry the Milwaukee soldering iron.
If you can let me know if got jalan please.....

yea i kind of know the group people who sells these things to kitchen cabinet/aircon installers/mechanics so they break up promo packages and sell them individually.

ahh... that m12 fuel driver, yesterday one got sold for 420-430 i think it was a quick 1hour bidding thing among those members.

since i am not really a milwaukee hardcore..so i just gather some m12 things as they are light and powerful combo, the other fellas all go for hardcore m18 9.0ah battery kind of tools..hahaha.. cant be bothered buying those.

If you buy just ONE tool, a 12V drill driver e.g. GSB120Li will work great for assembly of ikea furniture and wood/metal/red or clay bricks, or normal tile (eg water heater mounting) drilling [all these can work well]

If you plan to expand more than 1 tool, i.e. u wanna hv a rotary hammer eg GBH180Li (concrete/RC wall) + drill driver eg GSB180LI or GSB18V-50 + oscillating multi-tool + work lamp (for dark areas), 18V give more flexibility in terms of tool catalogue, and higher runtime (in case your developer put those hotel grade floor tile as wall tiles, those are extreme edge case whereby I really spent 30 mins per hole to drill 6mm).
For 18V, assuming you buy a big battery (3AH or 4AH) + a charger = the solo tool (cordless 18V) is normally not much more expensive than the 230V wired version.
However investment in the battery (say one 4AH = 2xx) and charger (say 100, although if speed of charge not important any charger also can lah.

Technically I do use 18V for home DIY kitcab from ikea.. but hardly go beyond 1st gear on 5th speed selector.. so theoretically a 12V would be more compact for kitcab
But I don't mind having more power on tap if needed (18V)

Hi sifus, anyone here knows where to get good quality woodworking router bits locally ah?

I go to like 10 different hardware store already pun takde, and the cheap router bits I got from shopee all like china brand, either struggle to cut or bent

At this point do like I have to look at amazon from US to buy bits?

on shopee/lzd look for arden brand from taiwan. they oem make for some usa brands also.

Lavie bits on shopee. Pretty good stuff.

Thanks a bunch sifus! I'll go check them out

lavie one is quite good, but i have like 10 -12from them at half price because a few carpenters i know, ordered the wrong bit sizes. some bought 8mm or 6mm for the shank.
you should choose 6.35 (1/4) inch if it suits your router.. or else you cant used them. so i offer to buy them half price since i got like 5-6 different size routers

Where can I get this kind of thick hose ?

Yesterday try to use the Worx hydroshot. Press the trigger and the water shot out from the trigger side and also when directly into the battery. Water flow out from the battery.

Thought the inner trigger valve seal spoiled. Open up and then pull the trigger valve out, the hose break. Look like the hose is brittle already from age. That's probably water leak out.

Now try to see able to change the hose.

But the most expensive is the 4.0AH battery. Might spoiled. Try put in silica to dry out. Hopefully.

why dont call worx to sell you the hose spare part?

Probably ask me to get a new set.

Anyway will contact them tomorrow.

After checking the material of the broken hose and size, I found a similar hose in my working place.

It is a PU material and size Ø10. PU has a lifespan of ~10yrs+. If its contact with oil or chemical, lifespan will shorten.

Don't buy this 1st generation of hydroshot. Get the latest 3rd generation. Model something like WU633. It has battery cover protection in case of water splashes, higher pressure, and water consumption.




Test with water pressure. Strong enough the hose grip without the clamp.



Done

Hi bro. Blast from the past. Have you bought you Laser Level tool? Which make/model?

hi folks, I wanna find a cordless sds drill to drill through reinforced concrete (beam or second floor concrete plinth) which brand and model should I go?

I prefer bosch since all my power tool collections are all bosch but still open to other brand.
