Hi all sifu,

Planning to buy a rotary hammer for drilling mainly to install water heater, curtain rails, hooks cloth hanger, etc.... for hotel use.

Looking for 26mm, so far my choice limited to :
1. Stanley SHR263KA = RM 400
2. Hitachi DH26PC = RM 500

Almost want to click to buy Stanley, what other recommendation? Bosch 26mm is quite expensive.

You will need a rotary hammer and not impact drill to drill concrete, tiles etc.
Depends on your budget for home DIYer.

Grade A & B - Bosch, Makita, Dewalt, Hitachi (from RM 450 up)
Grade C : Stanley, MAX etc (from RM 350 up)
Grade D : China's brand - DCA, DongCheng (from RM 220 up)
Grade E : other China's brand (from RM 150 up)

I would suggest you to get Grade C or D, choose the 24mm capability will suffice.

This battery, many vapers have good knowledge about battery.

Recommend 18650 battery :
Sony VTC 4/5/6
Samsung 25R/30Q
LG HG2

DIYers must check continuous AMP draw for 18650 battery.

I assume you are going to drill hole through concrete, tiles, brick etc.

Option

Stanley STEL503K 720W 22mm

Stanley SHR263KA 800w 26mm

Hitachi DH26PC 830w 26mm 3.2J?

Dewalt 25133K 800w 26mm

As for me, any of them will do as long you don't use it continuous for 3 hours or 100 holes in a day. Bosch, Hilti, Makita, Hitachi, Dewalt etc able to last longer longer. Stanley is in between DongCheng/DCA vs contractors' brand.

Cheapest online Bosch GBH 18LI

Price range from 940 - 1000.

Answer : None

Get a rotary hammer 22mm or 24mm would suffice.
Can buy China made cheap cheap around RM 210-250 such as below

Bossman 226

Lever 2-24


Or if you want branded
Stanley STEL503K

I have been using China's brand for 6 years, no problem so far. Can drill hole thru tiles and concrete. Mainly for home DIY, probably max 10 holes per day and few times a year.

Buyers should know, it is not for heavy duty and dont use for whole day like drilling 50 holes per day because it cannot tahan prolong heat. If you know its limit, can last many years.

When drilling hole into tiles :
1) Set to drill only mode (if you're expert enough, set minimum hammer mode)
2) Drill slowly and check the hole
3) When the drill fully punch in a hole in tiles, increase a little hammer mode (for some model) or you can adjust/press the power 50-60% to make sure no full hammer mode
3) Never set full hammer/rotary mode in tiles and NO full power all the way, tiles will break

Hello all,

Planning to buy Bosch GBH 180-LI cordless rotary hammer. Any review or advice on this model?

Where is the cheapest to get?

Trying to buy cordless impact wrench for car repair & other home work. Unfortunately, taobao dont ship to Malaysia due to battery contraband.

Hi，Anyone here bought product with battery before from & Taobao succesfully sent to Malaysia?

I just want to know which courier can send battery.

Stanley is good if you drill less than 20 holes a day.

I guess the drill bit depends on type of table top. Marble, tiles, etc?

The Bosch GBH 2-24 DRE rotary hammer is good even for contractor. If you are only home use, any rotary hammer will suffice. Drilling hole with hammer mode, standard use 6mm sds drill bit and screw M4 (eh. 4mm x 20mm)
To drill hole into tiles, you need to use drill mode only until penetrate the tiles, then use hammer & drill mode. If you are pro and able to control speed & force, then hammer mode all the way. Press minimum hammer mode until hole tile is penetrated and the drill brick using mid-power. I seldom use full press power in tiles
