Dear sifus, plan to drill a hole here to hang photo rack, as you can see tried to do it manually but failed
 1. Looking to buy our first power tool (noob here), is GSB 180-LI enough for this job, or overkill? Min requirement cordless. 2. Any cheaper alternatives? Don't mind China Taobao stuff. But prefer something that lasts longer. 3. Going to renovate new house as well, having a set of better tools will be better?  |

QUOTE(chamelion @ Nov 26 2020, 11:32 AM) you hammer the wall with nail? Yeah hammer with thick nail, overestimated my ability  18V drill (GSB 180-LI) is a good choice and will last long as it also has a multi-purpose role. it can use as a screwdriver too. If you want to spend, then get a cord hammer drill and a battery drill. Use the hammer drill to drill the wall and the battery drill to fasten the screw into the hole. Edit mybad, GSB 180-LI have impact function which is even better. just this will do the job.  Thanks for the explanations!! Would you suggest any cheaper brand/model? Or lower end 12V ones. Just to do this particular job. Don't think we will use it very often, might end up collecting dusts. |

Got a China brand cordless drill 21V + 2 batteries (with hammer function) from local hardware shop (RM 160, shopee might be selling much cheaper but too many variations), then Bosch X33 bits, wall plugs, job done. 3M mounting tape collapsed after a day Thanks a lot for the advices!!  |
