Good for drill but not good as screwdriver.

Hi, I'm looking for a cheap drill for occasional use like hanging Ikea shelf. I stay in a condo so i guess i'll be drilling into concrete? Any recommendations around 200 like the ones in shopee?

bigger motor if you are staying in an OLD condo "40+ years" with very hard concrete by now, but >3kg

for new condos and you don't do trenches (korek longkang) in concrete this is light and does the job for finger sized holes (TV bracket sleeve anchors) or wall plugs (shelves, curtain rails) 100% ok, this being a lighter machine is more fun [not so heavy] for light duty purposes.

and if you only drill 10-20 holes maximum for those 6mm wall plugs
even a cheapo rotary hammer <100 bucks (bare unit) also can liao. but must be rotary hammer (not impact drill/hammer drill coz those are toys)

add a 5.5mm (slim #6 wall plug) + 6mm (fat #8 wall plug) SDS+ drill bit say about rm4.50 ea

wow thanks for the quick reply!

One more question actually wondering how to tell if it's brick or concrete, starting to think I might not need a rotary hammer at all

Time is money, when u spend 15 minutes on one hole then you'll know

else refer layout plan

drilling cement wall (either brick, cement, concrete) get rotary.. no regret..

Next level of powertools.

new m12 gadget.

40V Makita Track saw from China. Gonna replace some wood eaten by termite to PVC foam boards.
Around 1.5k tool only including air transport. ok lar.

Can this be used to drill IBS walls?

My landed house is built with prefab IBS wall, looking for a decent or slightly better than good enough drill for my DIY work.
Can the sifus here recommend me a good price-to-value product?

Cast walls just get a rotary hammer. Buy all these underpowered toy hammer drill only lead to misery.

If you just wanna drill a few holes any RM200 rotary hammer will work, Total or Daewoo.

If you want a lightweight one
Bosch GBH 2-20

Thank you so much for your recommendation!

so quiet..
anyway just arrived..4th july sales.

more flex incoming next few weeks...

I thought you only use Milwaukee?

What good about Flex?

New toy. 2in1. Jigsaw and sabre saw in 1 set.

buy for fun. top performing cordless hammer drill in the market.

Wei, you don't want to venture into 40v powertools?

What your thought 20v VS 40v ?

for hammer drill the 40v makita lose to this flex 24v.. u say leh

i think the 40v tools is good but no point to spend top money as i dont need the extra power

using 18v 36v makita, and m18 m12 milwaukee mostly... already covered most of my requirements.
