no more makita distributor for my. it's direct makita principal. few of the hardware shop owner that I know went for their conference last week...they will bring in more variety here but the price is... . if no volume order means no discount price for dealer so end of the day we end user are paying high price for it

GST + bad exchange rate deal a big blow to hardware costs.

yup, i can buy directly from amazon Bosch GBH18v-26 Bulldog for 1.8k shipped

here, u can only get the non EC, non-bulldog, 1.7J hammer for same price locally

Makita should not compete with the low tech junkyard power tools.

Since they have the technology, robust, better spec and more variety of tools, should distinct themselve from the rest.

Makita mainly target and use by industrial and contractor in local.

Like HILTI power tools, they are target higher market and not lower market.

With Malaysia's small market, we can't make up the moq required for many items.

removing insulated jacketing from chilled water pipes. very convenient & fast, though a bit bulky



4.0ah battery empties quite fast. i only managed to take out about 30 - 40 ft of cladding before the batt runs low. on a cutting disc.

verdict: a bit heavy, a bit big, easy to use, quick stop after grind, and no cable clutter

Wah hensem. Both u and the grinder.



My new tools

Malaysia has this?

he bai from UK. less than 48hrs arrive liao

should check out deals from amazon.uk & us since now father's day sales, got many good deals for power tools

easy to buy 18V and 12V solo cos we dun hap to worry about 110v adaptor or plug and all that

Lazada got ppl selling. But rm680. I bought from Amazon UK. Wanted to get the dremel 1, I read review this 1 more powerful.

Ya, saw the sale on amazon uk.
But decided not to buy coz money goes to taobao 618 sale already

Many thanks in advance bros

Fixing curtain only wor ? Require such powertools ?

Bosch GSB16RE probably good enough.

Bro . . . . was told that condo concrete very hard & tough . . . Bosch GSB16RE not strong enough.

Thanks for kind input

Saw this Worx hydroshot spray. Seems useful for light duty cleaning of window/car/car posh without dragging out the pressure washer.
Not too powerful till strip paint off.
Another thing that Malaysia market don't have.

A bit expensive side. RM540 + delivery...maybe ~RM700. Wait for Amazon sale.

Maybe I just drag out my karcher pressure washer and permanently put at outdoor. That reduce abit of my laziness.

That's surely an invitation to steal it
