Macam crazy job. Take how long?

Macam crazy job. Take how long?

quite fast actually. 30min for one face.

the trick is not to level one face immediately. do one face to 70-80% then to the other face 100% then come back and flatten the other 20-30% then you can roughly get to flatten the slab to the center line of the rough slab

I have been looking for a cordless compact rotary hammer with chisel function for some time as I need it to knock down some bricks and tiles.
The current one I have, Bosch GBH18V-LI compact is small but does not have chisel function.
Recently Makita has launched a new compact rotary hammer with chisel function in the 40V line, bought it during lazada sale when its available in Malaysia.

Impression :
1) Almost similar size with my current Bosch compact rotary hammer.
2) Much more powerful (2.1J vs 1J)
3) Heavier too.


Side by side comparison


Bosch on top of Makita, with the base on the battery on same level.

More Makita 40V toys coming in. Not related to 11.11 sales.
Makita Christmas XGT promo bundle.
40V router with battery + 40v miter saw. Free geift 4 extra saw blade.
The crosscut sled on my table saw can retire liao.



Now waiting for Makita's 40V table saw. No news at all.

I'm looking for a fuss free cordless drill mainly as an automatic screw driver to dismantle some furnitures and also to drill holes or something for basic carpentry if any in the future..

Would this Bosch be a good choice? It goes for RM500

If you just want to do some drilling on wood and assemble furniture I think the flexclick system more suitable.

some of the head is really useful to turn screw at some tight space and angle.

The battery balancing good? Feel the gripper side battery more heavily.

Compare this bosch

The Makita compact drill is front heavy without the battery. With 4AH battery it balance up.

odd combo but highly effective woodchip removal using the dewalt flexvolt vac.

Where do you guys buy Makita stuff from? Shopee all those are fakes right?

I dont owned any Makita stuff, but those cheap on Shopee are fake/clone. I bought Borsch and Hikoki (Hitachi) which is genuine.

Quite crazy at the number of fakes being sold as the genuine item there.

CT Hardware.

They have several shop in Selangor and shopee.

Makita 18V stuff many physical hardware store has it.

For online usually I get from CT hardware or Advance Fasteners. Especially those 40V stuff, rarely seen them in normal hardware store.

If you're not in a hurry, wait for Makita's bundle promotion then only buy, combine with whatever shopee/Lazada voucher.

Advance Fasteners in SS15 ?

Thought they just sell bolt and nut.

Those 40v makita items I bought from Advance Fasterers are sent from Johor.
