Blade compatibility as mentioned, is still a bit of a mystery with unknown brand. Unless purchase from hardware retail shop then you can see that it fits or not.
As osci tool seems more specific as compared to jigsaw blades (either makita half eaten cheese type, or bosch T mount type); I remember my boss last time purchase some cheapo jigsaw for one off usage but we can use bosch blades so managed to cut many pcs of 4x8 plywood easily.

Circular saw will provide the nicest cuts if you match it with a fine blade (80T). Fast cut (30-40T) type is very fast but it will splinter off (used for rough sawn framing and things like shipping wood packaging).
**For this one the 184/185mm (7in) blades are common, other size like 165mm may be a bit harder to find the blades. Can look at the bosch range, or makita.

Drill driver will be useful. Match it with 110mm long screwdriver bit will be the best. There is a diff between the cheapo and good ones like Milwaukee "impact rated" bits, the good ones are expensive but they last longer. Cheap ones tend to slip out and botak the screw head and/or the bit breaks.

Impact driver normally used for high torque application like tyre nuts and heavy duty fastening/loosening (like trailer wheel nuts). If the max you will fasten is M10/M12 nuts for sleeve anchors, then you don't really need an impact driver.

Can, spec say up to 8mm in masonry (brickwalls only). But if you want to be sure the GSB180Li is more powerful, the GSB120 (being a 12V tool) might bog down if you kena a hard spot.

I thought it would end up with all the circular marks.

Hmm some 288Vf tools seem to have size of 6AH battery but write there 19800 mah (19AH). Dunno can trust or not.

It should outlast the mr diy one at 83% off from that price

Those sleeve anchor are very commonly available.
The separated ones (called drop in anchor) are easier if first time installing - if the inner part's skirt doesnt open, then the anchor won't mount anything. Easier to remove the bolt and try again.
Sleeve anchor can be a suicide mission if the hole not deep enough or the skirt fail to open all the way.

Sleeve anchor = https://shopee.com.my/SYW-SLEEVE-ANCHOR---W...BCABEgLJHfD_BwE

For drop in anchor they will write the bolt size - metric M8 or M10 size or those in inches 1/4 or 5/16 so u need to get the right bolt (size and length need to be just nice - no need full length (there is a stopper halfway) if using drop in.

TV cabinet (BESTA) hanging on the wall, is using the suspension rail.
Similar to METOD kitchen.. you just need the cheese head screws (not CSK flat head), 2 inches screws and 50mm wall plug is sufficient. The weight is distributed among 10-15 screws so each one take less than 10kg.

Easy to remember,
GSB = B for Bang = got impact
GSR = R for reverse = only reversible, no impact (cannot bang)

GSB 180 should be better idea. The 120 is light duty.

GBH rotary hammer can Bang Harder

Firstly before any mounting make sure to have a spirit level.
Ideally about 80cm or so not too long, not too short will be easier to control.
Cheap one about 16-20 bucks from hardware shop, boleh pakai also lah.
But if want instaworthy tool then this one is good stuff also (going on clearance): sola spirit level


For the TV cabinet (https://www.ikea.com/my/en/assembly_instructions/besta-suspension-rail__AA-1272162-10_pub.pdf ) page 12/ step 4 describes using at least 4 screws (wall plug) mounting per unit of the besta box.
This is as per chamelion post above, just drill 6mm hole, insert wall plug 2" and use 2" screws confirm will work perfectly.


For the TV bracket technically even if you mount a 60" TV (taking Sharp LC-60LE650U Spec as example, 55.1 lb / 25.0 kg without stand 61.7 lb / 28.0 kg with stand) so no need to really use heavy duty mounting.. technically four or six 2" screws like besta style already can support because weight is very light (7kg per screw or so only). However, depending on the TV bracket mounting hole size this would impact whether u can use screw or need to figure out the sleeve anchor part.

Superglue can stick even a car to the billboard; but the wall paint may not hold.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4309490/+3644 if making this kind of hole in wall you need rotary hammer.

If your ceiling light hole just a 20c coin in plaster ceiling any drill also can.

this is how they normally construct high rise (with concrete floor slab).

Oh on the floor slab (concrete slab).
Then recommend to get rotary hammer. Rotary hammer drill for wall plug very easy 5 second per hole effortless. Normal drill / impact drill will take u forever like 5min per hole while user pressing body weight into the drill.

Elcheapo ones from Mr DIY overheat fast and thus may not be that great if need to wait long long for it to cool off if you need like 40-50 holes done in one shot. Coz I think you would probably be installing more than one light.

Cheap decent rotary hammer one can get the Daewoo as shown by hirano post which I just replied to earlier this morning. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=99245906

One step up is those from bigger name Stanley Hikoki Bosch Makita.
Usually cheaper to get wired tool with just the rotary hammer. Bits you won't need whole collection of them for wall plug, 5.5/6mm for #8,#10 wall plugs shud be standard and will cover most wall plug. #12 wall plug need something bigger like 6.5mm bit (this is not so commonly used IMO). For sleeve anchor aka tv bracket you can then pick up the necessary 10mm or 12mm bit later on.

For wood or metal these no need impact or hammering so chuck adapter (for smooth round shank convert to SDS plus) needed ya. This adapter 10-20 bucks only.

My bad. I think it was 2pt epoxy.
Anyhow the idea was to illustrate its not so much as the adhesive strength but the paint will likely give up first if a good adhesive were to be used to stick things to painted walls.

Actually come to think of it the cheapo-er drill driver and rotary hammers don't come with the overload clutch to minimise risk of twisting your arm if the bit gets stuck right?

icic…so still need to use with caution

Wah price wise can beat dyson already
