Happy New Year guys.

Got myself a new yrs cute Vacuum cleaner. 

It is a Worx WX030.9. Not much infor in the market as it still new I guess.

Small and handy. Easy vacuum my small grind work, DIY and car. Run on standard Worx powertools battery. 

Have 2 mode. Low and high with nosie level 75db and 81db.

It have a Dyson style of get dust out from the bin. Press the button and the bottom cover flung open.

Cost RM260 with shipping. Excluded battery and charger. So far only avaiable at Taobao.

Weight 1.4kg without the battery.



That is how small the size. The ON/OFF switch at the side handle and bin push button on the surface. the bin at the bottom with MAX sign.





Only 2 accessories come together. It can be keep in the vacuum unit. ( 2 hole). The hose have a magnet that when you keep it back in the handle, it will snap.


The accessories have an extension hose that is rubberise material. Good for narrow and bend space. Also won't scratch surface. Best for car vacuum.

This worx is 10kpa

I get it from the spec website compare la.

I don't have the Bosch gas vacuum. Or gauge to check.

Who have? Come we show down compare. 

If want me compare with this    than worx can bungkus lor. 

Is this the Bosch gas vacuum? Not the hanheld wan?

Big wan sure powerfull la.

Here is more detail about the Worx vacuum

Worx did not start out of thin air. Maybe the name is not well established but if the company gives product warranty between 1~3 years, then it has confidence. Probably not very long history but not too young also. Right now I think the problem is the cordless product line. China batteries can be anywhere from 1 to 10. Depends on how much the target cost 

No, I don't own any Worx power tool but Worx Pegasus folding table is real deal for me 

Some of the Worx powertools are very famous. Ex. Hydroshot. Easy and versatile to use than my another Kracher waterjet.

I have Worx hydroshot, Pagasus and this vacuum cleaner.

For drill and driver, it is Makita.

For battery, it is all about the price vs capacity. Battery can take away almost 1/2 of the powertools cost. Battery mostly made in China. But not the cell for brand powertools. and very much subject to price vs capacity.

And it is difficult choice to get a powertools also if your collection is base on only 1 brand. Battery is the culprit.

Trade name sometimes mark the price high, not necessarily the best. I'd go for review done by person who are in construction business.

The tool you choose in Malaysia is the one you can easily get it serviced or get spare parts. However. many contractors are just using unknown China brands. They may not last as long but the tools probably at cross point where it is cheaper to just buy a replacement than to repair  and wait for spare parts. This is the reality once the cost of labor increase with cost of livings. 

This is also another reasons why many big names came out with amateur, semi-pro, and pro series; and also produce their tools with sub-contractors in China. Thanks to Trump, now many are moving to Malaysia as well 

P.S. At least Worx is still on the chart ... Positec 

Those giants, nowadays you are likely to pay for the brand tag rather than their tools credibility.

Unless you're saying for their trademark power tool like Hitachi for their nailer, Bosch for their SDS, Hilti for their breaker, etc.

How long warranty brand here? I know Dewalt have like 3 years limited warranty. The most reliable is Hilti, the send people to pickup your broken tools within 2 years.

The so called renown brands, to break 1 to 2 times within 6-12 months is normal, so does cheaper tool, nothing special.

In US for example, they have the latest model, offer 2-3 times cheaper price than here and longer warranty period.
Ridgid, Hikoki is lifetime warranty. 5 years Milwaukee warranty, etc. If you follow Milwaukee fb group page. They tend to do 1 to 1 replacement for broken tools.
Thats reliability.

sifu, see i got what looks like 3 types of drill bits. i got no idea what is for what....can explain? thank you 

gold ones are metal right? ok thanks

this one cheap set given free by B&D what also never write 

Btw Hilti dont like to sell to the small contractor or home user (even in US and EU).

Their target is big company who also sign up service contract with them...

but they tools are good stuff..

when labor = sg/us then tools investment will come accordingly. I hire those general workers before they prefer cheap tools due to the reason it will overheat easily and sometimes breakdown during work. They will take that as an excuse to snake.

Recently I hire someone to core a 6" hole in a 400mm RC slab. Main con said they can do it without hiring professionals. During the commission day, they bought low-end tools which cost them 1.5k and fail to core the slab ended up wasting 1 full day of a workday. (1 Engineer 1 supervisor 2 GW) 8hours you can estimate the manpower wasted and downtime cost too. I overwrite the main-con and hired professional corer who used Hilti/Shibuya and they can core each hole through 16mm RB 400mm Slab about 30min per hole.

After the job that main-con was banned from the tendering list.

Main con bare all the cost, well tbh professional charge reasonable price for the amount of job being done and most importantly they always ahead of schedule.

However of late (2019+) I noticed shop contractors starting to use cordless tools though. 

Contractors different story. Sometime they need to do renovation on new house where there is no electricity yet. Last time it was a problem. Need to bring portable generator 

  Just ordered solo unit GBH180Li at 399 and the battery + charger separate.
Funny that the parts total (split separately) is still much cheaper than those all-in-one combos.

Flexibility and no need to worry working hot with live wire, can off the whole DB box.

Got. The 7/8" SDS (3 mode) 2605-22 would be the rough equivalent to the GBH 180-LI.
